3 ways to make everyday meals extra delicious

3 ways to make everyday meals extra delicious

The secret to eating well is simple: buy local. Seriously, no matter what your preferences or dietary restrictions are, buying food from local producers and vendors is a great place to start. For starters, local products are delicious! Plus, buying local supports farmers and independent food producers in your region. It’s truly a win for everyone!

Rowe Farms is proud to offer high quality, nutritious, regenerative products including our incredible Ontario beef, poultry and pork. We also offer a large selection of ‘extras’ that make every meal even better. Here are three ways to make everyday meals even more delicious—thanks for reading and see you soon!

Use a great spice blend

Whether you’re making chicken, pork or beef, a great spice blend is the perfect way to add flavour and excitement to your family’s favourite dishes. Consider our Montreal Spice Rub, Sweet Paprika Rub, Taco Seasoning or another spice blend (we have plenty available in store). A mix of garlic, onion powder, cumin and ground black pepper is simple and delicious, as is a mix of garlic, dill and fresh lemon zest. Place your meat in a glass dish with a cover or a large freezer bag, drizzle it with olive oil and season generously. Leave your meat to marinate in the fridge for a few hours if you can, or start cooking right away if you’re short on time. It will still be delicious!

Consider condiments

A great piece of protein is the ideal way to start any meal, but those added touches can take a meal from good to exceptional. Our delicious, artisan-made local condiments are the perfect finishing touch to any meal. Consider making use of our delicious pasta sauces to make chicken parmigiana, or adding one of our bold, flavourful aiolis to a homemade steak sandwich. Brush your chicken breasts or steak with a bold whisky BBQ sauce, or try Olliffe’s sweet and tangy chipotle garlic. We carry gourmet salad dressings made by our friends at Olliffe, too—the balsamic dijon vinaigrette works well as a marinade. Rowe Farms has a huge selection of products in store including local honey, incredible horseradish and hot sauces, gourmet mustards and more. Stop by to grab a few of your favourites!

Just add cheese

You don’t need to add cheese to every meal, but you sure can add it to a lot of them. Consider grating some aged cheddar onto a crisp green salad (and maybe some crispy, chopped bacon while you’re at it!) or putting some local mozzarella on that chicken parmigiana. Cheese is a must for hamburger casseroles and taco nights, and a perfect topping for homemade chili or potato, bacon and leek soup. Rowe Farms is pleased to offer a fantastic selection of cheese in stores and online. Visit your local Rowe Farms to see what we have in stock!
