Recipes & Cooking Tips

Pork burgers. They seem to confuse a number of people. To clarify, they are like sausages, without the casing, formed into patties - sausage patties, if you will. So, pork burgers, naturally, make for an amazing breakfast burger. Now, for those of you thinking, why would you want a burger for breakfast? The answer is, because burgers are great at any time of day, and there needs to be more opportunities in life to put a fried egg on top of something. Whether its a breakfast for dinner kind of night, a hangover breakfast after a big night out, or just a backyard BBQ brunch with the family, here are a number of different ways to bring burgers to your plate for the most important meal of the day. 

It's officially too hot to cook, so I've gone back to salads at every meal. But a salad doesn't have to mean that you're not well. Take advantage of all of the vegetables available to you at the peak of summer harvest season with this salad and hold back on the meat. It's still in there, but in a salad it's easy to "eat less, more better" by packing your bowl full of healthy vegetables as well. This salad makes use of flavourful Chimichurri as the dressing which pairs well with the sweetness of the corn and tomatoes; of course any dressing will do.

Bacon. It's amazing. You can add it to everything. The worst part about the deliciousness of bacon though, is the cooking process, as it can sometimes end in a big old greasy mess. Totally worth it, but not always much fun to clean up after brunch. The solution? Well I have two. Either buy our Bacon Bits to remove the cooking process altogether; or move the bacon to the oven for the best results every time and no mess. 

Winter tends to get all the comfort food recipes. It's probably because in general, comfort foods, require long and slow cooking - not so popular when your house feels like a hundred degrees. This recipe though takes a lighter spin on classic comfort food using spaghetti squash instead of noodles. Spaghetti squash can be bit of a pain because it takes a while to cook, and usually that means firing up the oven. In this recipe however, I've provided instructions for using the grill if you're kitchen doesn't happen to be air-conditioned. It's always nice to have options.  

Yes, you read that right. I can't lay claim to that awesome description of Bacon Bits, that comes from Jim Gaffigan. I wish I had said it first though, because it's a really accurate description. Bacon makes everything better. You can add it to salads, pastas, sandwiches, even sweets and your taste buds thank you every time you do so. Bacon bits are a genius invention, they provide all the flavour of bacon without the messy cooking and clean up. So, with our Ground Bacon, we've provided you with our great bacon, without the fuss. You're Welcome. Add the ground bacon to eggs in the morning, sprinkle them on your pasta dishes, add them to a salad. You can buy them in our web store or at our retail markets. Still stumped on how to make use of them? Here's some suggestions...
