Tacos here. Not very adventurous, I know, but I did splurge and get grass fed ground beef for them.

sounds good to me, sd. just wondering, is grass-fed preferable to grain-fed beef cattle?

I don't remember the specifics but generally speaking, beef of the grass fed variety is more nutritionally dense. It contains omega 3's and is very lean. Flavor-wise, in something like tacos I can't discern a notable difference. In burgers though it tastes, well, beefier, maybe earthier, if that makes any sense. Oh man does it make good burgers!

All of the fat. It is not on the lean protein list.

Pan-fried smoked ham steak, potatoes, mushrooms and onions fried in the ham steak drippings with a bit of oil, micro steamed fresh carrots and frozen peas (these carrots were MONSTER sized!).
