JULY IS:
Lasagna Awareness Month
So whether you enjoy traditional, vegetable or seafood. Please be aware it is too hot for lasagna and you should be outside grilling or visiting your favorite restaurant for a delicious meal.
The new Monarch Bourbon Baked Beans are a great way to celebrate. Give them a little extra with Rykoff Sexton Dark Ale Mustard and some extra Chef’s Line Pork Belly.
Add fresh blueberries to a pitcher of lemonade, made with Rykoff Sexton Meyer Lemon Juice. If you are feeling festive a touch of Rye or Bourbon will make this a sure to please culinary cocktail
National Culinary Arts Month
Our Next Top Product contest is in full swing. Get the word out to all of your customers. We are looking for some of their most creative ideas for the next US Foods product line.
Chef’s Line Pat LaFrieda Burgers, Metro Deli Hot Dogs, Stockyards Steaks, Patuxent Farms Chicken or Pork, Harbor Banks Seafood, Cross Valley Farms Vegetables
– You name it, we have it ready for the grill. What is your favorite item from the grill?
Glenview Farms Horseradish Chive Cheddar will help you celebrate, added to your favorite burger or sandwich for extra pop.
Or add Monarch Horseradish to the new Chef’s Line Mayonnaise for a quick sandwich spread. Goes perfect with Metro Deli Roast Beef or even the Buffalo Chicken Breast.
National Hot Dog Month
The new Metro Deli All Natural Angus Hot Dog is the way to enjoy July and beyond. A touch of Rykoff Sexton Dark Ale Mustard and it is almost complete.
Chef’s Line Vanilla and Chocolate Ice Cream make everyday feel like summertime. Added to a dessert for ala mode or by itself with some fresh from the garden berries.
National Picnic Month
My favorite picnic item is Lobster Panzanella with Goat Cheese. It feeds many and is so easy to make. Keep it cold with an ice pack.
Lobster Panzanella with Goat Cheese
3 tablespoons Rykoff Sexton Meyer lemon juice
1 tablespoon Rykoff Sexton extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon Rykoff Sexton sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups Harbor Banks lobster meat, coarsely chopped (3/4 pound)
2 cups Cross Valley Farms cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup chopped shallots
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, plus additional leaves for garnish
1 loaf Chef’s Line Multi Grain Baguette, cut into cubes and toasted
1 c Glenview Farms crumbled goat cheese
Preparation
1. Whisk together first 4 ingredients (through black pepper) in a large serving bowl. Toss in the lobster and the next 4 ingredients (through basil). Stir to combine, and let stand 15 minutes.
2. Toss in the toasted bread cubes and goat cheese. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
National Pickle Month
Make it yourself with cumbers from the garden or buy your favorite. Nothing goes better with a Metro Deli Sandwich than a nice crisp pickle.
A slice of watermelon has an amazing way of bringing all of us back to our childhood and the family picnic. Now we are enjoying it in cocktails, desserts and sorbets.
But the favorite will always be the first slice of summertime. Share it with your friends and family this weekend. Add just a touch of sea salt for an extra treat.
