Try this on your steak. Butter, minced fresh garlic, green peppercorns, rosemary sprigs heated in pan until butter melted. Don’t burn! Remove the sprig. Pour over your steak and don’t forget to add the olive oil, little sea salt and Mama’s Organic Steak and Burger Rub before grilling your steak.

The family and friends enjoyed Mama’s Stuffed Cabbage Casserole this week. Includes all the same ingredients as Stuffed Cabbage but so much easier to make. Mama did top the casserole dish with good quality mozzarella and bit of ketchup and wow what a great addition that is!
