what's cookin': Summer Recipe Collection
from Monnett Farms & No Thyme to Cook
This salad is perfectly refreshing at the end of a hot summer day and cooks up in virtually no time. We used a flank steak, but any steak will work well including a sirloin strip, skirt steak or tri-tip.
Don't let the beauty of this dish scare you away. It's so easy to make and absolutely delicious. Pork tenderloin is great year round, but especially in the summer time on the grill.
Let me just say, the sauce is good enough to eat by itself. Chimichurri sauce is fun to say and easy to make. It's a perfect companion for steak but would also pair well with chicken or pork.
In this recipe, you won't want to rush the part about caramelizing the onions -- it takes a little extra time, but it's so worth it.
Did someone say crabs and bacon? What Marylander could resist? This fancy sounding chowder and salad combo is the perfect light summer time meal -- and it's super easy to make!
Lamb chops look like a fancy meal, but are actually really easy (and fast) to make. This dish pairs well with a Greek salad and lemon couscous.
Lamb burgers are a great change from the traditional beef burger - and a great excuse for eating tzatziki sauce! There's virtually no prep time for this simple summertime meal.
We try to take the guesswork out of buying a side of beef and make it an easy process. Our beef is 100% grass-fed, individual cuts of meat are frozen and vacuum sealed at the peak of freshness for long-term freezer storage.
There are many different breeds of sheep. On our farm, we raise St. Croix, a hair sheep breed. They're called "hair sheep" because they shed their coat on an annual basis and don't need to be sheared.
You've probably seen white eggs and brown eggs, maybe even blue eggs. Did you know that the color of their shell is determine with by the breed of the chicken and has nothing to do with the quality or freshness of the egg -- or the quality of life for the chicken?
Bring home the bacon...go whole hog... Ok, enough with the pork puns! This guide will help you better understand the process of buying a whole (or half) hog off the farm.
You've probably heard farming is a lifestyle...it may be true there are some things that are unique to living the life of a farmer. But more than anything, it's a business. For us, it's a small family business.
We are honored to be featured at Governor Hogan's Buy Local Picnic, supplying London Broil to Herrington on the Bay for their winning recipe.
