Gourmet food gifts are great to give this holiday season!!! I am a big foodie and just love cooking and experimenting with different flavors! You can find amazing gifts to give at Omaha Steaks!! They offer so many great things to choose from and it's all guaranteed to be the highest quality products!

I recently got to try some of the AMAZING goodies Omaha Steaks has to offer! They sent me the Elite Holiday Sampler:

2 (5 oz.) Filet Mignons
2 (6 oz.) Top Sirloins
2 (4 oz.) Boneless Pork Chops
6 (4 oz.) Omaha Steaks Burgers
4 (5.75 oz.) Stuffed Baked Potatoes
1 (6 in.) Chocolate Lover's Cake

This came all nice and neat in a reusable cooler box, complete with dry ice to keep everything cold while in transit! Everything comes in its own box, with a certificate of guarantee that you are consuming product of the highest quality! And wow was that food high quality!!! I was so excited to try that Chocolate Lovers Cake:

This cake was very tasty and so cute! VERY chocolatey and delicious! I think the chocolate shavings totally made the cake and it was irresistible! This cake didn't last long in our house! It was a winner with everyone-just make sure you have a tall glass of milk to wash it all down!

We loved the stuffed baked potatoes! This is something I will have to buy more because they are just so delicious and don't take much time to cook! Each baked potato shell is filled with whipped potatoes, real sour cream, aged cheddar cheese, bacon bits and chives. They are totally amazing and very addicting!!

And of course what review would be complete without-THE MEAT! I am a steak girl all the way! Gotta have my red meat! I loved the Filet Mignon! It was absolutely amazing! My youngest usually doesn't like steak but she ate all of hers that night AND tried to steal mine right off my plate! We grilled up steaks and chops for night two and they came out beautiful!:

Got them on the grill!

First turn-seared to perfection!

Just about done!

Hot off the grill!

The food was really easy to prepare and tasted great! I'm not usually a big pork fan but these pork chops were exceptional and very tender and juicy! All the food is just wonderful! There is no better place to buy steaks online!
