One of the great things about having access to a grocery store with a fabulous butcher is the amazing variety of meats we can purchase. When we first visited this grocery store, we were excited to see sections for lamb and veal, each of which were as big as the chicken section in a typical store. With a department this big and only two freezers in which to store our purchases, we experimented with new cuts, seasonings, and meats in each shopping expedition.
The variety of sausages available there is just as amazing as the rest of the butcher department. They

Mexican Chicken

March has been a long month. While it has been snow-free, which is a huge bonus in New England, we've had our fair share of cold and rainy days. So, there's a little bit of cabin fever here. Plus, having an insane month of business travel for my husband (away from home for 17 out of the last 21 days counts as insane, doesn't it?) makes the days and weeks even longer.
Thankfully, my 13 (almost 14, as he'd remind me) and 12 year old children have been very helpful. Every week each of them has chosen and cooked a dinner

Coffee Rubbed Pork

Sometimes a dinner recipe just falls into your lap. A few weeks ago, we made a trip to the butcher's and returned home with a freezer's quantity of meats. One of those items just happened to be a boneless pork loin roast.
The next day we made a stop at Starbucks while we were out running errands. Our trip to Starbucks coincided with their VIA promotion. Take a taste test to determine which cup was the VIA instant coffee and which was the brewed coffee, and get a large coffee for free if you bought a 3-pack of the VIA. As

After a trip to our favorite butcher shop, we always are excited to try new recipes. With a freezer almost overflowing with assorted cuts of beef, pork, veal, and lamb, it can be hard to decide where to begin. After our most recent trip to the butcher, my husband mentioned a craving for pasta, and I had been dreaming about lamb, so a combination of the two was the solution.
We made this dinner on a weekday that was filled with gymnastics lessons, karate lessons, and an end of the season cross-country dinner for the kids. Needless to say, my husband
