My life these days centers around ratatouille. It’s easy, it tastes great hot or cold, leftovers are fabulous in a bone broth soup, and it’s easy to pull the flavors in any number of directions: let the veggies shine on their own with a little olive oil, salt and pepper, or pull it in a […]

Grilled Butterflied Grassfed Leg of Lamb
Lots of people think of leg of lamb as a fall or winter cut. But when butterflied, with the bone removed, leg of lamb is a fantastic cut prepared on the grill. We like it so much, we cut some of our legs into small 1-2 pound roasts so that they can even be enjoyed […]
