The Meat District pre-seasoned selections are tender and full of flavor

Tailgaters and Grill Masters, this post is for you! Meat District has pre-seasoned meats that you can use to create so many dishes from burgers, tacos, meatballs and more. The patties are made with different blends of protein, including bison, wagyu beef, Angus beef brisket, short rib, tri tip and chuck. The wings are seasoned beautifully. They are my go-to smoker recipes when I need a quick and easy meal.

The Seahwaks lost tonights game, but it’s OK. I grabbed some Meat District wings and Angus Chuck beef patties with bacon & cheddar for dinner. Any meat with added bacon makes a sad game better. I threw the wings on my smoker with Cherry pellets at 375. 10 minutes later I added the burger patties. Cooked about another 30 minutes and dinner is done.

Tonight we did the Buffalo chicken wings with a mango habanero seasoning and for those who do not do spicy in my home, I also added some beer brined wings to the smoker.

The beauty about Meat District patties is that there are no rules that say you must keep these formed as a burger. You could easily take the meat and create meatballs, tacos, meatloaf and you get that Meat District seasoned beef to elevate your meal.

Visit Meat District’s website to see all of their meat selections and the flavors they have added. Meat District premium products will be sold at supermarkets nationwide, including Albertson’s, Kroger, Ralph’s, Pavilions, Vons, Stater Brothers, Winn Dixie, Food Lion and Hy-Vee. I have also seen the burger patties at my local Costco.

Wake up to Cheerful Designs with the soft Villa Cotton luxury bed linen

September 27, 2021September 25, 2021 Erin Sluka

Design and color are features that I consider when shopping for new bedding. I like to have a few comforters and duvets so I can refresh my bedroom every few months. Aside from color and design, the softness and comfort is a main feature I consider as well. My newest duvet cover comes from Villa Cotton and it is like art on a soft luxury bed linen. Just take a look at the bedding designs!

Your duvet or comforter is kept inside the duvet covers with buttons on one side. The buttons attach into a fold of the seam. This way the buttons are hidden and tucked away from feel or view within the cover. I have the Grafica design. Villa Cotton has duvet cover like mine as well as comforters and sheet sets. My duvet cover also came with 2 matching shams so I get that complete bed look. It is easy to refresh your space by just changing colors of the bedding or curtains. I changed out the navy from my standard bedroom set for this white and grey Grafica duvet set from Villa Cotton. It really changes this space, like a bit of art on my bed!

There is so much more to Villa Cotton besides these beautiful designs that came from the inspirations of Italy (Como). They proudly carry an Oeko-Tex certification, which means their products are made without the use of harmful chemicals.

Every time an order is placed on their website, they dedicate a portion of the profits to plant a tree through One Tree Planted. They also support the SOS Children’s Village in Lahore, Punjab, near their production base. You not only get Italian art prints and the softest quality linen, you also support some great causes. It is more than bedding because it is now a conversation piece. Visit Villa Cotton and order a set for you and as a Holiday gift for someone who would love to add this style to their rooms!
