About


I have never had beef jerky before I met my hubby. The first time I had it was about 15 years ago . I love it very much and every visit back to US, I will eat lots of it till my heart's content. Last Christmas, my hubby asked my step-daugther Erin to mail 6 packets of beef jerky to us and it was one of my surprise gifts. I had a year's supply of beef jerky’s! YAY! Yesterday when I was craving a baby spinach salad and grilled vegetables, I decided to have it for lunch. We get beautiful baby spinach in the markets here and it is frequently on hand as it is one of our favorites. On a whim, I added some beef jerky, chopped into bite size pieces, to the salad and it turned out so delicious that I just have to share with you all. I served this with ham, tomato and lettuce sandwich and a bowl of corn chips. The teriyaki beef tasted better than bacon, and is much lower in fat.
