Even though our world has steadily reopened over the summer, we still want to be cautious of the time that we are spending outside of our home bubble. This includes avoiding any unnecessary trips to the grocery store. So, here is where our curb-side pick-up boxes come in! Each of our boxes comes with various cuts of meat from pork, chicken, beef, seafood and more, and you can meal prep countless meals for your family.
For your next (socially distant) backyard BBQ, why not host a taco bar? It is one of the most versatile menus you can offer and the easiest way to feed a crowd. Your friends and family members can customize their own tacos with their favourite meats, toppings and sauces. You not only make everyone happy, but it’s also super fun and easy to put together. What could be better?
With this beautiful weather we have been having lately, we hope that you are getting outside as much as possible this summer. To do that safely, we recommend family picnics in the park away from the crowds! Dust off the picnic basket, grab your trusty blanket and herd the kids to the nearest green space to run off their energy and enjoy the fresh air.
While it feels like summer is flying by, we are determined to make the most of these weeks that we have left! You will find us barbecuing in the backyard until the snow starts to fall (and maybe a little longer after that!). What’s on the barbecue, you ask? These show-stopping lamb kabobs, of course!
This summer, while we are all spending our vacations a little closer to home than usual, take this opportunity to experiment and rocket your grilling skills to new heights! Ketchup, mustard and relish are staples to the classic hotdog, but it’s time to step up your game and really impress your friends and family at your next (socially distanced) backyard barbecue.
We get it! In the heat of the summer, the very last thing you want to do is heat up your stove or oven to cook your family a meal. So, where can you turn for a delicious and protein-packed meal that requires no heat? You guessed it! Deli meat! Deli meats are lean proteins, full of vitamins and minerals, convenient and incredibly satisfying.
If you are craving pork, you’ve come to the right place! While our family business has grown since our humble beginnings with a few pigs, to offer a wide variety of local proteins in our meat shop, pork will always remain our specialty. We work hard to produce the best pork for you, from the day the pigs are born, to the day the pork chops are cut, bacon is smoked, and the roast is marinated. We hope that you get as much enjoyment eating our pork as we do getting it to your table.
It is finally summer and finally time for more dinners with your family (and friends at a safe distance) in the backyard! Summer means you need to pull out the barbecue, dust off your tongs and sharpen your skills because it’s officially grilling season!
We’ve asked your favourite butchers and farmers working behind the scenes at Spragg’s Meat Shop what our favourite summertime meals are, and this is what we had to say.
Just because we are all continuing to spend more time at home and practicing proper social distancing, that doesn’t mean you can’t have a stay-at-home barbeque party with your family! Spark up the grill and rock your stay-at-home BBQ party with these delicious homemade patties using either ground beef or ground pork from our meat shop.
Are you looking for a new recipe to try for meal prepping this week? This easy ranch pork chop recipe will fit the bill perfectly. Like you, we love sheet pan meals! They are so easy to whip together, and the cleanup is a breeze. This recipe would also be a great meal to feed for your family on weeknights when cooking just feels like another chore.
Did you know that you can make bacon out of every piece of the pig? It's true! At Spragg's Meat Shop, pork is our specialty, and bacon is one of our favourite types! There are many different varieties of bacon: classic bacon or 'side bacon,' which is typically streaked with fat; back bacon or 'Canadian bacon,' which is much leaner; and cottage bacon, which looks very similar to slices of ham.
We are of the popular opinion that cheese is one of the most versatile foods out there! Cheese pairs so well with many types of meat and it can easily compete to be the star of any dish! These recipes are extremely easy to create! We recommend you make these recipes in large batches and save for quick and delicious leftovers all week long.
