Our local grocer had a great sale on their beef this week. Not the beef with the pink slime mind you, but the good stuff, the real good stuff. So without husband in tow, I trekked to the store and STOCKED UP! So eyeing the double digit pounds of beef in my fridge, I spent half of sunday prepping meals for us to eat this week and beyond!

Join the discussionI’m kind of disappointed that a blog that I refer to often as a resource would use the incorrect term “pink slime” especially since that’s not what it is. I think using the correct term, LFTB would be more appropriate.
I think “pink slime” is totally appropriate. if you google LFTB you’ll find this: Pink slime (also known as lean finely textured beef or LFTB,[1] finely textured beef,[2] and boneless lean beef trimmings or BLBT[3]) is a meat by-product used as a food additive to ground beef and beef-based processed meats, as a filler, or to reduce the overall fat content of ground beef.[4][5] In the production process, heat and centrifuges remove fat from the meat in beef trimmings.[6] The resulting paste is exposed to ammonia gas or citric acid to kill bacteria.[6] In 2001, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) approved the product for limited human consumption. LFTB prepared using ammonia gas is banned for human consumption in the European Union.[7]
Thanks for posting your menu. Have a great week!Allie
