In fact, I love it so much I bought one to keep at my desk for lunches at work.  My new absolute favourite lunch is a hunk of old cheddar and two tomatoes cut into quarters or eighths and generously sprinkled with freshly ground sea salt and black peppercorns.  I have been known to lick the plate. <\/p>\n<p>Ahem, anyway, back to the free meat&#8230; as I said, I have one coupon to share with you for a complimentary rib steak, maximum value $15, redeemable at the usual places where President&#8217;s Choice products are sold: Loblaw, Fortinos, Superstore, Provigo, Independent, etc.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to win some free meat (heck, I just like saying free meat &#8212; imagine the google traffic!) just leave a comment with your favourite BBQ meal ideas.  One winner will be chosen at random on Saturday, June 13, and the coupon will be sent to you via snail mail shortly thereafter.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s one of my family&#8217;s favourite BBQ meals:  grilled chicken fajitas.  Take two boneless, skinless chicken breasts and place in a large freezer baggie with a good drizzle of olive oil and a package of fajita seasoning.  Toss to coat, and leave to marinate for at least an hour.  Slice up a red, yellow or orange pepper and a white or sweet onion, and place in the middle of a large sheet of aluminum foil.  Squirt with half a lime, sprinkle with cilantro and red pepper flakes if you like it spicy.  Wrap the foil around the peppers and onions and roll the edges to seal them.<\/p>\n<p>Grill the chicken on medium-high heat for about 6 minutes per side, turning once.  Place the aluminum-wrapped veggies on the bun rack if you have one, or off to the side of the direct heat, while you are grilling the chicken.  Be careful opening the foil packet &#8212; it&#8217;s steamy and full of juice.  Cut the chicken into strips, and serve with warm tortillas, salsa, grated cheddar or Monterrey Jack cheese, and guacamole.  Mmmmmmm!  Grilling the fajita seasoning makes for a nice blackened chicken.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About a month ago, the nice folks working on the latest President&#8217;s Choice promotional campaign asked me if I&#8217;d be interested in reviewing some new products from the meat department.
