Savor Summer With A Labor Day Backyard Bash


As much as I hate to face it, Summer is about to come to an unofficial close.  New beginnings are always exciting but endings of anything make me a bit sad.  Let's enjoy the long weekend with one last Summer fling in our own backyard. So call your friends and family, fire up the grill, and get inspired! Before you press the send button on Summer, celebrate one more time.

Steak for a Brooklyn Barbecue
I selected this recipe not only for how perfect it looks, but for the rub that is used. Then the finishing touch is a sprinkle of fresh mint.  I have never used mint on steak. Sounds interesting!
