4th of July Cookouts – A New Spin On Classics

As the fog of the past year continues to lift, this season’s biggest summer celebration deserves a little extra special attention. While we always love a good old-fashioned cookout with burgers, sausages, and corn on the grill, we think this year is a great time to kick it up a notch with some unexpected specialties. But hey, if you’d prefer to elevate your event by simply setting out some fancy ketchup and mustard options with those burgers, that’s great too.

We’re always on the lookout for new, unexpected, and delectable ways to prepare your favorite Butcher Boy steaks, ribs, and chicken. If you’re looking for a little fancier, out of the ordinary, and delicious recipes, here are a few ideas that caught our attention for this Independence Day:

3-Ingredient Grilled Steak, Pineapple, and Avocado Salad

Sweet and Spicy Ribs

3-Ingredient Pesto-Grilled Chicken with Peaches

If your idea of a 4th of July cookout is a classic delicious, juicy steak on the grill, then, of course, a great steak speaks for itself. If you’re less than confident on the grill, check out our steak-grilling guide here. Let our butchers know how many people you’re feeding and how you’d like to present it (sliced on a platter? individual steak tips, or small cuts for each guest?), and we’ll help you select the best size and cut. Need more inspiration? Check out some of our July 4th favorites.

Or to our earlier point, up your condiment game with these eye-opening toppings that put ketchup and mustard to shame. Then round out your menu with ease – pick up potato or pasta salad, baked beans, antipasto platters – fresh produce for grilled veggies, or a garden salad.

Need another fresh idea to “amp up” the day and make it memorable?

Add an Independence Day-themed cocktail to your menu. Try this Red, White, and Blue Margarita and include the kids by letting them mix up their own patriotic drink, the Red, White, and Blue non-alcoholic layered drink. You can pick up everything on your list at Butcher Boy. We carry beer, wine, spirits, and non-alcoholic beverages for simple, one-stop shopping. And don’t forget the dessert. We have a delightful variety of pastries, pies, and cakes to choose from.

This July 4th, Butcher Boy can help you discover some new favorites, as well as savor some classic summer foods, and again, enjoy each other’s company.

Easy Weeknight Grilling

Sometimes it takes a while for our New England weather to catch up to the season, but now that the days are getting warmer and longer, it’s finally time to uncover the grill and take a break from standard kitchen cooking duty. Why wait for weekends? Make the most out of the sunshine with easy grilling recipes, even on your busiest evenings during the workweek.

Burgers are usually a quick family favorite. Butcher Boy has the freshest ground beef for the best-tasting hamburgers. Shop with us for the buns as well as your favorite toppings and sides, like lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, coleslaw, or potato salad. Our selection of prepared sides can take the stress out of cooking a full meal on nights when you’re short on time.

Grilled sausages are another easy option, especially in foil packets with peppers and onions to make clean-up a breeze. Sub rolls make for an easy grab-and-go meal or grill up any leftover veggies you have on hand and toss them together with the sausages on a bed of rice for a well-rounded dinner. How about ready-to-cook chicken in a variety of flavorful marinades to choose from? We’ve got a well-stocked case of customer favorites ready for you to pick up. Pair that with a salad and some grilled potatoes for a simple meal any night of the week.

Up your weeknight game with steak tip skewers. Simply pop some plain or marinated steak tips onto wooden skewers, with veggies in between. When you stop in at Butcher Boy, we’ll help you choose the best cut for your kebabs. Enjoy time on the deck or patio and out of the kitchen while your skewers grill by picking up a salad from our deli.

No matter what you choose for your protein main entree, fresh mixed vegetables on the grill always go well together. Toss zucchini, cherry tomatoes, red onion, mushrooms, broccoli florets, cauliflower — or anything, really — in some olive oil and garlic and cook them up in a grill basket.

Don’t save dessert for weekends, either. After a long, cold winter, it’s time to make these ordinary days a little sweeter. Take advantage of later sunsets and comfortable temperatures when you have a chance to pull yourself away from work and school devices. A springtime meal outside can be just the thing to brighten up your week. We have a bakery stocked with all your favorites, from small cakes and pies for sharing to individual pastries, cupcakes, and other treats.

What are your easy grilled favorites? Share what you love…and don’t forget to visit us for all of your ingredients!

Festive Easter & Passover Holidays At Home

The arrival of Easter and Passover is the annual cue that winter is over, and we can look forward to longer days and warmer temperatures as spring moves in. Celebrate the season of fresh beginnings with a holiday meal!

The spring holiday season is upon us, and we have plenty of options to make family meals special. If you are thinking of ham or lamb for Easter, we can help you choose the perfect one, depending on how you want to prepare it — whether it’s a classic spiral ham or lamb roast. For smaller appetites or something perfect for individual servings, give lamb ‘lollipops’ a try. Some families prefer to celebrate with brunch rather than a big meal later in the day.

Passover — April 12 through April 20 this year — begins its week of customs with a ceremonial Seder. The meal’s menu might vary among families, but brisket, roast chicken, or lamb often are the main entrée to accompany traditional items. Our expert butchers can help you select the ideal size and cut of meat for your meal.

We have everything available to make your meal complete — including side dishes and desserts ready to serve. We have the selection you need and the people who know meat best. What are your favorite menu items for spring celebrations? We’d love to hear from you!

Winter’s Best Comfort Foods

Winter has settled over us, and with more time spent at home, there’s more time for cooking and finding comfort in our favorite foods. These are the kinds of meals that bring us emotional comfort — reminding us of fond memories, occasions, people or places in our lives. What are your go-to meals for chilly evenings and weekends when the only thing on your schedule is to stay cozy at home?

There are classics, such as pot roast, meatloaf, stews, pastas, and casseroles from family recipes. Others have a modern twist, some are simple enough to prepare on a weeknight, and still others are even better as leftovers. Here are a few ideas that will fill your home with delicious aromas and meet all your comfort food needs.

Sometimes there’s nothing better for Sunday dinner than a traditional roast, accompanied by a variety of vegetables. The same goes for beef stew. These are the meals that simmer for hours and make your mouth water while you wait… and it’s worth it. Meatloaf is another meal often associated with reminiscing about childhood or making us feel better when we need a boost. No matter which beef entree is on your menu, Butcher Boy can provide the freshest cuts of meat, including ground beef prepared right in our store so you always know you’re getting the best quality.

If pork is more to your liking, how about a bone-in roast? It looks more elaborate than it is to prepare, so you can impress the family with an amazing meal. For something different, how about Butcher Boy pork pinwheels stuffed with spinach, mozzarella and breadcrumbs? It’s a fancy-looking meal that is prepped for you – but no need to tell the family that little secret!

No matter the time of year, sometimes there’s nothing like lasagna or baked ziti to bring a family together. Many of the conventional recipes we love can be tweaked for something more sophisticated, like this recipe for baked rigatoni with lamb ragu. The most basic spaghetti and meatballs can hit the spot, too. For the side, we think you’ll love a fresh focaccia bread from local favorite Iggy’s Breads – available at Butcher Boy Market. Just slice and serve.

After a cold winter’s day in the snow and ice, either sledding, skiing or skating, what’s better than a hot homemade chicken noodle soup or chili to warm you up? Talk about comfort! Make a big batch to feed your family for days or freeze some for later. Don’t forget to shop for all your ingredients at our market — from fresh veggies to poultry and your meats of choice.

When time is tight after working all day or you just don’t have the energy to prepare a large meal, simple is best during the week. For a change of pace, try sizzling beef steak fajitas. But on the nights when cooking is more of a chore, Butcher Boy has you covered, with prepared foods like rotisserie chickens and side dishes to go with anything on your dinner table.

It’ll be weeks before we can think about grilling without winter coats and wind chill, so we hope you can find some seasonal inspiration in some of these ideas. For more ideas and inspiration, check out the recipes and guides on our website!

Make Protein Part of Your Healthy New Year

For many of us, the new calendar year is a fresh start and a time to set goals. Resolving to improve one’s health is a common theme among those looking to lose weight, get fit, or simply develop better habits when it comes to eating and exercising.

By now, weeks into 2019, your attendance at the gym may already be lagging, and you might be in a mealtime rut that’s leaving you unsure of how to make any progress toward your “new year, new you” aspirations. We can help when it comes to making protein part of your nutritional turnaround.

Low carb and high protein diets – you’ve likely heard of paleo, keto and Whole30 – are highly popular. While you might dismiss them as merely 21st-century fads, there are aspects of the concept that work for an overall healthy lifestyle. So what are the benefits of eating red meat?

Beef is full of nutrients, including essential amino acids, and vitamins like zinc and iron. It helps to repair and build body tissues, as well as produce antibodies that will protect the body from infections, which in turn strengthens the immune system.

Meat is a critical component in steps toward a healthy body. You can work out as much as you want, and you will lose weight based on calories burned, but you won’t build muscle without proper nourishment. Muscles need the protein and energy that beef provides and cannot be replicated with supplements.

Making meat a regular part of your diet helps stabilize blood sugar levels, which prevents type 2 diabetes and other chronic conditions. When your blood sugar is stable, you are less likely to crave unhealthy foods between meals.

Poultry has a place in high-protein diet plans as well. It’s best to eat turkey and chicken without the skin as these are lower in fat. Purchase it skinless or remove the skin before you prepare it.

Grill meat, rather than fry it, and don’t add extra fat or oil when cooking it. Another tip for reducing the amount of fat you consume: roast meat on a metal rack above a roasting pan so the fat can run off.

Stop by our store to speak with one of our butchers today! We can help you select a variety of lean cuts of meat to suit your diet preferences and also offer a rainbow of vegetables to complete your meals.

Make July 4th a Real Blast

The most American of holidays is upon us. You could celebrate our nation’s independence with a basic cookout or picnic of burgers and hot dogs…but why not kick it up a notch or two with some of these recipe suggestions that will impress everyone on your guest list?

Spicy Grilled Chicken with Lemon and Parsley

Skin on and bone-in, this grilled chicken is a true summertime favorite. Brown the chicken on direct heat first before cooking thoroughly on indirect heat without burning it. If you don’t have smoked Spanish paprika, no problem! Create the desired smoky flavor yourself by adding a dash of cumin or one of these other alternatives to regular paprika. View recipe here.

Bourbon-Glazed Baby Back Ribs

Low and slow is the key to fall-off-the-bone ribs. This easy recipe starts off with the ribs in the oven, then browning them on the grill and basting with glaze. The chili paste adds heat to the sweet bourbon, but there are a few good spicy substitutes to consider if you don’t have it on hand. View recipe here.

Smoked Chicken Wings

When you want to add some finger food to the grill menu, this is one to go for. Switch up the barbeque sauce for a homemade marinade. Or, check out Butcher’s Boy’s selection of marinated chicken that you can just toss onto the grill. Satisfy multiple preferences by cooking up a variety of flavors! View recipe here.

Porterhouse Steak with Summer Vegetables

Season this cut of beef liberally and make sure you bring the steak up to room temperature before putting it on the grill. A porterhouse is thick, and that will ensure even cooking. When it’s just the way you like it, carve the steaks off the bone, then slice the strip and the tenderloin into 1/4-inch slices for the crowd to share. View recipe here.

Grilled Filet Mignon with Brandy Mustard Sauce

This recipe will give your 4th of July party a more upscale taste. The sauce ingredients are easy enough to throw together in a skillet. You can finish it off while the steaks are resting off the grill. View recipe here.

Looking for some ideas more suited to honoring the red, white and blue of the occasion? Revisit our 5 Patriotic Dishes suggestions to celebrate America. If a side dish is what you need to round out the main courses, try Mexican grilled corn, a delicious alternative to basic steamed or boiled corn on the cob.

Have a safe, fun and happy 4th of July!

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

3) Healthy One-Pan Sausage and Veggie Bake

4) Chicken Sausage and Broccoli Zucchini Pasta with Parmesan

In The Mood to Cook: Chicken Dinners

The weather may be cooling down, but your meal options are just heating up. Shorter days means more time in the home, and the chill in the air puts you in the mood to cook a warm meal.

Celebrate the coming of fall by making one of these delicious chicken dinners.

1) Parmesan Crusted Garlic Butter Roasted Chicken

Parmesan Crusted Garlic Roasted Chicken — via Little Kitchen Big World

Your dinner table deserves to display something beautiful. Flavored with aromatic spices, Manila Spoon‘s Whole Roast Masala Chicken is tender, moist, and unique. Less adventurous palates will be won over by the combination of mild spices like cinnamon, cloves, coriander, and turmeric, which are rubbed onto the meat. The spice blend then marinates on the chicken for 1-3 hours. The meat is fully cooked once the juices run clear. Enjoy with green veggies and rice.

3) Chicken Provencal

This fantastic one-pan dinner is a specialty of the Provence region of France, and is traditionally made with bone-in chicken breast, fresh tomatoes, olives, and anchovies.

This recipe comes together in about 40 minutes, so it’s perfect for a last-minute meal.

4) Sticky Chicken

South Your Mouth recommends bone-in chicken legs to make her Sticky Chicken extra juicy. Hot sauce balances the sweetness of the honey, making a killer marinade that’s good for both basting and dipping. Keep your heat on medium so the chicken is seared on the skillet, but not cooked through. Once all sides are browned, move to the oven and bake uncovered for one hour.

5) Maple Buttermilk Grilled Chicken

Filled with veggies and cream, you’ll savor the taste while enjoying the fact that this meal takes so little effort to make. Sautée the veggies in melted butter, then add in chicken broth, half-and-half, and cream cheese to make the delicious filling. Mix in the chicken and spoon into the dough. The dough is folded over to make mini pies, which you can eat with your hands, if you so choose.

7) Veggie Loaded Rotisserie Chicken Casserole

Veggie Loaded Chicken Casserole — via Project Meal Plan

Project Meal Plan‘s veggie-filled casserole reheats beautifully, which makes it an ideal meal for weeknight dinner planning. It also has a surprise ingredient that you will fall in love with! Greek yogurt is used as a healthier alternative to heavy cream, cutting the fat content nearly in half. The yogurt is combined with shredded pre-cooked rotisserie chicken, steamed broccoli and cauliflower, and cheese. The dish then bakes to a delicious golden brown.

We also have prepared breasts available from the kitchen for easy, throw together meals.

Happy Cooking!
