Winter Weeknight Meals To Warm You Up

With the holidays behind us, this is the season to hibernate… and that means more meals at home. It’s a great time to cook, try new recipes, find new family favorites, and sharpen our skills in the kitchen. Comfort foods are the best for chilly winter evenings, and some of them are easy to prepare even on weeknights after work.

Meatloaf is one of them. If your own basic recipe needs an upgrade, try this version, wrapped in bacon and covered in a tangy sweet sauce.

If soup is what you’re in the mood for, try something warm, filling, and quick-to-make like this Asian long noodle soup with pork tenderloin.

Sausage and peppers are a popular combo for the grill, but when the temperatures keep you inside, there’s no reason not to enjoy those familiar flavors. Potato and pepper sausage bake is the perfect winter substitute. Choose your spice level with any variety of sausage you prefer, or give your family options by including several of the types of sausage you can get from Butcher Boy.

You can elevate a simple chicken to a bistro-style dinner with lemon truffle butter (it’s easier than it sounds), starting with a spatchcock chicken that’s ready for use and can be on the table in under an hour. We carry a Bosari Citrus seasoning at Butcher Boy that works perfectly in place of the Garden citrus spice blend in the recipe.

You can find all your ingredients at Butcher Boy, including fresh, in-house ground beef, bone-in and boneless chicken, vegetables, and the perfect crusty bread to accompany any delicious winter meal. And don’t forget dessert!

Winter Comfort Foods to Keep You Warm and Cozy

What better to beat the cold-weather blues than with a delicious hot meal? We have a few hearty favorites that will warm up your home during the winter months.

With tender chunks of beef coated in a creamy sauce and served over a bed of buttery noodles, it’s no wonder beef stroganoff is a big hit. Start with a beef tenderloin – our butchers can help you select just the right size and cut – and this made-from-scratch dinner is sure to impress your family who will think you spent all day in the kitchen.

Pot roast is a classic winter meal to satisfy and fill every appetite. When it’s slow-roasted in the oven all day, the aroma will bring the family running. Serve it with mashed potatoes.

For a meal that’s even better when you eat the leftovers, red wine-braised brisket or our signature braised brisket, are a must for your winter menu. We promise meat will be fork-tender and full of flavor that will only get enhance the next day.

We love bone-in pork chops, and any recipe that describes them as “smothered” is sure to be delicious. It’s also easy, which makes for a great weeknight supper when time is tight.

Roast chicken is another wonderful meal that provides warm comfort and can stretch into several meals. At Butcher Boy, you can pick up a cooked rotisserie chicken on your way home and leave the work to us. Serve it with your favorite veggies the first night, then use the leftover meat for a hearty soup during the week, or add it to salads, quesadillas, or sandwiches.

To warm up a crowd, chili is the way to go. We can provide you the freshest ground beef for whichever recipe you use.

Don’t forget dessert! There’s not much more comforting on a cold winter evening than a warm pie. But you don’t have to do the baking. Butcher Boy has them for you!

Holiday Gifts: Butcher Boy Marketplace Has Something For Everyone

We can all agree that December is probably the busiest month of the year, adding all things holiday to daily life — gift exchanges, preparing special meals and desserts, attending or hosting parties. It’s difficult to accomplish our holiday tasks when we find ourselves running in all directions. That takes time and energy we never seem to have enough of. But what if we can make it easier? Come to the Butcher Boy Marketplace, where you can check everything off your gift-giving and entertaining to-do lists!

By shopping local, you not only will receive the benefit of more personal attention and excellent service, but you’ll also contribute to your own community. For every dollar spent at a small business in the U.S., approximately 67 cents stays in the local community, according to a study conducted by American Express.

Art and Frame is the place to go when you want your gifts to mean something special. Danny and Joddi Chang can help you choose a piece of wall art or sculpture that will fit perfectly in the room you have in mind. Bring them your own prints or family photos to be professionally framed. They can also create personal gifts that hold sentimental value: preserve a work of needlepoint, a meaningful souvenir, sports jersey, puzzle, or other keepsake in a custom frame. If you have items you think would look great in a shadow box but you’re just not sure how to pull it off, Art and Frame can.

Does your family celebrate the Feast of the Seven Fishes? This time-honored Christmas Eve tradition features seven Italian seafood dishes of all kinds. Whatever is on your menu, you can find the best quality seafood at Lobster Tail Seafoods Restaurant and Fish Market. Let Dan O’Neill and his staff cater the feast or purchase what you need to prepare it in your own kitchen. In addition to fresh shrimp, lobster, crab, oysters, clams and whatever else your favorite recipes call for, you can also pre-order holiday platters to round out your feast.

Who doesn’t like to be pampered? Give the gift of relaxation with a gift certificate from Tran Tran Nails. Ba Tran, Tran Nguyen, and their talented staff offer a variety of manicure, pedicure, and spa services. If you need a break from the holiday grind, then it’s time for some self-care.

Family pets deserve some holiday love, too. Visit Ciao Bow Wow Ciao Meow for everything to spoil your favorite dog or cat. Jeff Mancarella, Todd Flolo and their knowledgeable staff can show you winter jackets and fleeces, along with toys, holiday goodies, and stocking stuffers. Freshen up the basics with a new bed, food and water dishes, and collars. Bring your pet into the store with you as you browse, and let them check out the Treat Bar stocked with the goodies they’ll love.

Michael Reppucci and Carol Webb will take good care of you!

Perfecto’s Caffe is another great spot to get a quick bite to eat during a busy day of errands. Start your day there with a hot breakfast sandwich or choose a gourmet salad or wrap to keep your energy up in the afternoon. Warm up with a delicious specialty hot or iced beverage. Peppermint and gingerbread flavors will put you in the spirit of the season. While you’re there, be sure to order trays of muffins and bagels for yummy breakfast options for holiday houseguests. Phil and Joanne Jay have ‘perfected’ the beverages and treats to give you that burst of energy you need to finish your holiday shopping.

Nature’s Cleaners is a chemical-free zone. Keep them in mind for all your pre- and post-holiday needs. You can get your special occasion table linens ready for family gatherings large or small. And after all the celebrations are complete, and the tablecloth and napkins are stained with memories of your favorite holiday meals, count on Jun Chong and the spot removal experts at Nature’s Cleaners to freshen them up for your next event.

Full service, personalized banking services are available at the Marketplace. Pentucket Bank is a valuable community partner, contributing to local organizations and programs. Marion Donahue and the employees at Pentucket Bank actively volunteer in the communities they serve. If you’re looking for a gift that keeps on giving, opening a savings account for a special child in your life will help them to save for the future and build financial literacy early in life.

While children have visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads, adults are more likely to have a kitchen renovation on their wish lists. Jackson Kitchen Designs can provide the inspiration! Lisa Torrisi and her team of talented designers can show you the options for making modern updates to your kitchen, or modify the layout of the kitchen to make large gatherings easier to host. Keep them in mind to gift yourself something extra special after the holidays so your spruced-up kitchen is ready for next year!

Winter Afternoon at the Marketplace

This is the time of year when it’s tempting to hibernate indoors and to avoid the cold and snow as much as possible. But eventually, there are errands to do and other reasons to venture out of the house. We know where you can go to enjoy a productive, relaxing day without driving all over town. The Butcher Boy Marketplace has everything you need for a day out. Give our sample itinerary a try:

First, get the obligations out of the way. If you have dry cleaning to pick up or drop off, head to Nature’s Cleaners. Pentucket Bank can fulfill your banking needs. Manage existing accounts, open a new one, or simply use the ATM.

Do you have family photos to frame? Check out the options at Art & Frame Source, Inc. that will inspire creativity.

When you’re ready for some pampering, drop in at Tran Tran Nails for a relaxing manicure or pedicure.

Hungry for a quick bite? Treat yourself to lunch or coffee at Perfecto’s Caffe.

You don’t have to overlook your four-legged family members. Ciao Bow Wow’s friendly staff is happy to share their expertise on feeding your pets or help you pick out a toy or treat.

Talk of kitchens is sure to remind you it’s time to pick up some groceries. Look no further than Lobster Tail Seafoods restaurant and fish market for fresh seafood.

Count on Butcher Boy Market for everything else to prepare a delicious winter meal. If you love using your slow cooker like we do, let us help you select a chuck roast. How about some hearty chicken noodle or wedding soup? Our homemade tomato sausage, tomato & cheese sausage, or garlic & cheese sausage can help turn any drab day into a cozy comfort with a savory dinner. If you are still trying to stick to your New Year’s resolution to focus your diet on protein, our marinated beef tips or marinated chicken will be a flavorful topping to any salad. Don’t forget dessert! And you can also pick up your beer and wine without having to make another stop.

A busy afternoon at the shops will make you hungry, but if you’d rather not cook, bring your groceries to the car, where they will stay nice and chilled, and give yourself the evening off with a nice dinner at Orzo Trattoria.

So what are you doing tomorrow afternoon?

Ditch the Dishes: Sheet Pan Recipes for Dinner

There are a lot of steps to making a great dinner. Why not save a few by reducing the number of dishes to wash? Sheet pan dinners emerge from the oven, and go straight to your plate. While they still require prep work, it’s worth it to see the satisfied looks on your family’s faces and having less scrubbing to do after the meal.

Cut down on cleanup with these all-in-one sheet pan dinners:

Chicken

1) Sheet Pan Cashew Chicken

Add a little crunch to dinner with this 30-minute start-to-finish recipe from i heart eating. Marinate baked veggies, boneless chicken breasts, and cashews in a sauce of red wine vinegar, sesame oil, and soy sauce. Cook and serve on top of white rice, brown rice, or quinoa with extra cashews.

2) Sheet Pan Bruschetta Chicken

For a no fuss dinner, look no further than Damn Delicious‘ colorful bruschetta chicken with garlic parmesan roasted potatoes. This refreshing dish will quickly become a family favorite, and not just because you’ll only have one dish to clean. First, prepare the bruschetta and set aside. Cook chicken and the seasoned baby red potatoes side-by-side on the pan for 20-25 minutes. Add mozzarella to the chicken during the last 10 minutes of cooking, then top with bruschetta before serving.

3) Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas

Spice up your weeknight meal plan with No. 2 Pencil‘s chicken fajitas. This dish is a snap to make, and even easier to enjoy. Toss chicken tenders, sliced onions, and seeded bell peppers in olive oil and spices. Spread on an oiled sheet with limes and roast in the oven. Wrap tortillas in foil and add them to the oven in the last five minutes of cooking. To serve, squeeze the limes over the mixture and top with fresh cilantro before placing in the warm tortillas.

Beef

1) Sheet Pan Mini Meatloaves with Potatoes and Green Beans

Strawberry Blondie Kitchen‘s mini meatloaves are comfort on a pan. Stuffed with white cheddar, this recipe is a healthier alternative to most comfort foods. Substituting baby potatoes and green beans for mashed potatoes, this meal could become the one-pan-plan for your family, making them shout out, “winner winner, meatloaf dinner!”

2) Sheet Pan Steak Fajitas

Similar to the chicken fajitas recipe, this meal features one important difference: steak! Kirbie’s Cravings fulfills your own craving for red meat with this family fun dinner featuring flank steak. Thinly slice steak, onions, and bell peppers, and drench in olive oil. Then, sprinkle mixed seasonings over the mixture. The steak cooks quickly along with the vegetables, so monitor and adjust for preferred doneness.

3) Sheet Pan Skirt Steak with Balsamic Vinaigrette, Broccolini, and White Beans

Featuring a zesty vinaigrette that doubles as a marinade and a sauce for serving, Epicurious‘ skirt steak dish will wow your family with its intricate tastes. The marinaded steak cooks over the broccolini and white beans, flavoring them with its tasty juices. After the steak is cooked to the desired doneness, thinly slice it against the grain and serve with the broccolini mixture and remaining vinaigrette on side.

Pork

1) Sheet Pan Chili Dijon Pork Tenderloin

Carls Bad Cravings‘ tenderloin recipe shows off just how versatile pork can be. Brine the tenderloin, dry-rub with a chili mixture, and then sear until brown. Brush the pork with the chili dijon glaze, then place on the green beans, allowing the juices to soak into the vegetables while cooking. After baking, transfer the veggies to a platter and pour remaining juices over the mixture. Cut the pork into thin slices and serve on top.

2) Sheet Pan Raspberry Pineapple Pork Chops

Sweet tooth, meet dinner. These slathered raspberry pork chops from Melanie Makes are studded with fresh pineapple and raspberries, giving mealtime a savory twist. Drizzle the green beans and potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper and arrange on the pan. Lay the fruits in a single layer with the veggies, then lay the olive oil-brushed pork chops on top. Remove from oven, brush with the raspberry pineapple sauce, and serve. If you want to make the sauce at home, this recipe should do nicely.

3) Sheet-Pan Pork Chops with Brussels Sprouts and Potatoes

Ah, the simplicity of standard fare like pork chops and potatoes. Perfect for a chilly night, Tablespoon‘s recipe takes a total time of 45 minutes for the hearty meal to make its way to your family’s plates. Flavor the potatoes with rosemary and thyme, and use garlic power, salt, and pepper to season the brussels sprouts. Finally, rub the spices onto the pork chops and arrange the meat between the starch and veggie on the pan.

Happy cooking!

Killer Pot Roast Recipes

We’re in the thick of winter, and spring feels forever away. One advantage of this cold and snowy weather is that it makes you want to stay in and cook a meal that warms up the entire home! A pot roast dinner is the perfect all-in-one meal that fills your kitchen with rich, tantalizing smells, and fills your family’s bellies with hearty, comforting food.

Boneless chuck and bottom round are ideal cuts for a succulent roast that creates the perfect melt-in-your-mouth meat experience.

1) Perfect Pot Roast

Tender yet flavorful, Life Made Simple‘s Perfect Pot Roast packs a whole meal into one easy-to-clean dish! First, heat the oil in a Dutch-oven over medium heat, and generously apply salt and pepper to the boneless chuck. With the “secret ingredient” of balsamic vinegar, this roast recipe promises to be fork tender with meat that falls right apart. Simmer the roast, then transfer to the oven to finish cooking. Tent with foil on a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

2) Round Roast Beef Bottom Perfection

Round Bottom Roast — via Just A Pinch Recipes

Just A Pinch Recipes promises a heavenly, aroma-filled kitchen while making this ideal “Sunday Dinner” roast. Before cooking, bring the meat to room temperature in a roasting pan. Grind garlic and onion with seasonings with a mortar and pestle to create a semi-thin paste to smear on the beef. This paste forms an aromatic crust when roasted. Start making the gravy while the roast is resting, allowing the juices to settle. Pour the gravy over mashed potatoes and serve.

3) 3-Ingredient Chuck Roast in Foil

As the name states, this crowd-pleasing, slow-cooked pot roast recipe only has three ingredients: meat, potatoes, and onion soup mix. Mouthwatering with minimal effort, Fountain Avenue Kitchen‘s recipe is perfect for dinner parties or casual family meals on a cold winter weekend. If you prefer completely homemade, the recipe includes an alternative dry rub mixture to use instead. After the cooked meat rests, place it in a serving dish and pour the remaining juice, or “au jus” on top. The leftover meat is fantastic in a basic vegetable or mushroom barely soup the next day.

Happy cooking!

Healthy Recipes for the New Year

Make a resolution to serve filling and healthy meals to your family this year. Last year, we featured nutritious lamb, pork, and salad recipes packed with big flavor to start the new year off right.

This year, it’s all about chicken and sausage! Turkey and chicken sausage are low in fat compared to pork and are just as delicious. We offer several kinds of sausage in-house, that can be used in many sensational recipes. Boneless chicken is a fantastic base that can be dressed up with light marinades and sauces.

Stay healthy throughout the year with these wholesome recipes:

Boneless chicken recipes:

1) Hummus-Crusted Chicken

Hummus isn’t just for crackers. Gimme Some Oven uses the creamy chickpea spread as a sauce that forms a light crust on the chicken. The extra hummus oozes over the veggies, complementing the citrusy juice of a squeezed lemon. Prep time is only 10 minutes, making this a perfect dinner for busy weeknights.

2) Hawaiian Chicken & Coconut Rice

When the weather outside is frightful, this tropical-marinated chicken with coconut rice from Tide & Thyme will definitely warm up your night. Soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and pineapple juice meld together to create a marinade that beautifully harmonizes with the coconut. Serve the chicken on bed of the rice, with additional scallions on top.

3) Chicken Kale Caesar with Crispy Artichokes

Jazz up the traditional caesar salad with Health.com‘s hearty recipe. The artichokes are dipped in a combination of seasoning, egg, and panko, then broiled until crisp. Seasoned, sliced chicken and onion are combined with the kale, which is drenched with half of the buttermilk dressing. Drizzle remaining dressing on top and serve.

These recipes can feature either turkey or chicken sausage:

1) Turkey Sausage Spaghetti

Who says spaghetti can’t be healthy? Whole grain noodles mix with turkey sausage, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, and spinach in this perfectly seasoned dish from The Blond Cook. Bonus, this dish comes together in just 30 minutes, if you make the sauce and noodles at the same time.

2) Turkey Sausage Skillet with Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes

Turkey Sausage Skillet with Brussel Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes — via Primavera Kitchen

Primavera Kitchen recommends using a pre-seasoned skillet for this easy one-pot dish. First, the turkey sausage is browned in the pan, removed, sliced, and set aside. Diced sweet potatoes and chopped brussels sprouts are cooked until soft, then the sausage and seasonings are added to the pot. Serve garnished with fresh green onions and feta cheese.

3) Healthy One-Pan Sausage and Veggie Bake

One-Pan Turkey Sausage and Veggie Bake — via Forkly

One-pan dinners are a quick way to make a healthy meal, especially with a busy schedule.

Simply coat the sliced veggies and sausage with oil and seasonings, then add to the pan. Top with parmesan and serve over quinoa or rice.

4) Chicken Sausage and Broccoli Zucchini Pasta with Parmesan

Spiralized noodles are a great way to get your daily dose of veggies. This dish from inspiralized is as unique and it is tasty.

Choosing the Perfect Holiday Roast

Christmas is right around the corner. Your decorations look great, your guests’ travel plans are set, and now it’s time to focus on the food!

We’ve put together a list of considerations to review when selecting and cooking the perfect roast for your holiday dinner from our Holiday Order Guide. Consult our Beef Roasting Guide for exact temperatures and cooking tips.

1) Number of guests

How much meat do you need? Our order guide breaks down size of cuts and how many people they serve per pound. Better to overestimate, then under – no one has ever complained about leftovers. Plus, you can make a great dinner the next day, like this Leftover Prime Rib Beef Stroganoff from Bake It With Love.

2) When to start cooking?

Once your meat is selected, use our Roasting Guides to plan out when you’ll need to start cooking. Cuts like prime rib and rump roast are cooked by minutes per pound, so more guests means longer cooking times! Use our Guide’s time chart as a general guide, it’s good practice to check the roast before the minimum time recommended.

3) Guests’ preference on temperature

Will you be serving your meat medium rare or medium? Every oven is different, so invest in a meat thermometer and consult our Guide in order to cook your roast to the preferred doneness. The roast continues to cook once removed from the oven, so make sure to take it out when the thermometer reaches 5° fewer than your desired temperature.

4) When is dinner served?

There’s nothing worse than keeping guests waiting for their dinner. So keep in mind, the roast should reach room temperature one hour prior to cooking. After cooking, your roast needs to rest for about 20-30 minutes before carving and serving. It will all be worth it when you see your satisfied guests enjoying the meal. But if you’re really worried about the hungry masses, then you may want to select a cut with a shorter cooking time.

Set It and Forget It Slow Cooker Favorites

After a long day of work, taking care of the kids, or both, the last thing most of us want to do is be in the kitchen for hours preparing dinner. We spend enough time during the day running around. Meals should be easy, delicious, and satisfying. That’s why the slow cooker is one of the best tools you can have in your kitchen.

Here are some of our favorite recipes that you can set and forget:

1) Super Tender Slow Cooker Italian Meatballs

Super-Amazing-Slow-Cooker-Italian-Meatballs — via Chef Savvy

Unlike a lot of recipes, these meatballs from Chef Savvy don’t require any frying or browning in a pan. Instead, they develop a nice color in your oven’s broiler before you put them in your slow cooker. That means no greasy mess to clean up. The sauce the meatballs cook in is just as easy to prepare. All you have to do is combine crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, pepper, and a few dried herbs.

2) Slow Cooker Braised Short Ribs

Short ribs are the ultimate indulgence. They’re rich in taste and cook wonderfully in a Crock Pot. This recipe from Big Bear’s Wife is no exception. While they take about seven to nine hours to cook, the end result is worth it. Every single ingredient, from the garlic to the honey, melds together for a hearty meal that pairs wonderfully with a side dish like mashed potatoes.

3) Slow Cooker “Melt in Your Mouth” Pot Roast

There’s nothing quite like a juicy pot roast whose tender meat falls apart with a fork. With a gravy-style broth full of delicious seasonings as the perfect complement, every bite of this recipe from Joyously Domestic will warm your belly on a cold winter night. This dish makes the perfect next-day afternoon meal, so make enough to save some, if you can.
