I know everyone talks about how summer is steak season. I agree that summer is barbecue season. Totally. But when it’s hot outside I simply can’t dig into a thick juicy steak with quite the same gusto. But now that the cooler weather has arrived – it’s prime steak eating season.
Gourmet meats make excellent gifts – particularly when you choose something totally fabulous like the legendary steaks from Montana Legend, Free Fed Ex on $250+.

It’s one of my favorite tastes of fall. There’s nothing like a persimmon.
I like them for baking, cooking and just for eating. Seasonal persimmons like these from Fancy Plants Farms are completely different than the Asian persimmons available all year long. The taste is fuller and the texture is almost creamy.
