Slow-Roasted anything sounds wonderful to me! Slow-Roasted tells me I can do some prep and set in the crockpot or roaster and be on my way for a bit! This is just the case with a Lamb Shoulder Roast. Don't worry if you do not have Lamb, you could use a Grass Finished Arm or Shoulder Roast with some minor omissions.

Turn up the heat on your regular meatballs by adding some spice! These meatballs, made with Grass Finished Beef Spicy Sausage and Grass Finished Ground Beef, will give that quick weekday meal an extra kick to launch you into the week. Want another variation, try swapping out the Grass Finished Ground Beef with some Pasture Raised Ground Lamb. Yummy! Serve with a side dish of white or brown rice and a nice green salad. - I get requested by friends to make these meatballs when they come to visit!

We all have done it. Gone to a favorite steak house, ate an incredible steak and wondered, "Could I possibly replicate that mouth watering taste and flavor?" Yes, you can. Below is a simple recipe for searing your tenderloin steaks, filet. Always remember to take your steaks out of the refrigerator for a bit before cooking. By letting your steaks come closer to room temperature before cooking this will help to avoid over cooking and a tough steak in the end. When it comes to steaks less is more. Steaks always are complimented by some of these tasty sides - garlic mashed potatoes, a bed of wild rice, steam veggies, broccoli, asparagus and even a homemade dinner rolls. Enjoy!

This is my favorite way to make BBQ sauce. But first, here is a little secret about me: in the kitchen I am not one to measure things out, so this is my best guess at the measurements. Enjoy!

Grace, my daughter, was inspired by this dish to make gyros for our family. She is a great cook and can really make some amazing meals just "winging it" off a recipe she found. Gyros were not any different. She was inspired by The Modern Proper.com Recipe below and made a few changes...which I will soon update this recipe with those changes. For now I will share the recipe that inspired and I hope it will inspire you to go on an adventure with ground lamb and your meal planning.

Family Spaghetti night would never be the same again. Take your family to something 'new' with something 'old'. Grab some ground lamb meat, add to your favorite spaghetti sauce and Bon Appétit! Don't have a sauce made or jarred? Not a problem, we were inspired by Food and Wine's recipe below. Spaghetti loved by many, but don't forget to try with a different pasta sometimes as well. Penne Rigate, Casarecce, Elbows, Linguini, Angel Hair, Bucatini are few different options if you are fresh out of Spaghetti noodles. May this be your inspiration to change your traditional spaghetti night!
