Pasture Raised Chipotle Chicken Salad with Grilled Corn, Strawberries, & Creamy Cilantro Jalapeño Vinaigrette
Bursting with flavor and vibrant colors, this chipotle chicken salad is perfect for those warm evenings when you're craving something fresh yet filling. This recipe starts with a quick marinade featuring smoky chipotles in adobo, garlic, lime, honey, and a few spices like cumin and oregano. The creamy cilantro jalapeño vinaigrette has become a mild obsession of mine since it came together on a whim one weekday lunch...it's citrusy, creamy, spicy, with a hint of sweetness from honey – it just takes things up a notch! As for the salad, mixed baby greens or romaine work beautifully for the base, then we add grilled chipotle chicken, some charred corn, ripe avocado, juicy strawberries, and salty feta crumbles. Is your mouth watering yet? This is a salad for those who claim to not enjoy salad – believe me! Get the recipe here.
Pasture Raised Pork Chops with Whipped Maple Brown Butter & The Best Salad Ever
An absolute show-stopper of a meal fit for a dinner party or special occasion – these pasture raised pork chops are quickly pan-seared then basted with a delightful whipped maple brown butter and fresh thyme. Served alongside what I venture to say is the best salad ever – organic spring mix tossed with creamy goat cheese crumbles, crunchy candied pecans, tart honeycrisp apple slices (classic pairing with pork), plus a perfect vinaigrette that's sure to earn its place in your regular rotation (and convince you to ditch that store-bought salad dressing forever)!

Grassfed Ribeye with Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes & Broccolini
Are you ready for the best steak of your life? Make it a 1915 grassfed dry-aged ribeye (or filet or New York Strip), sous vide it to guarantee a perfect temperature edge to edge, and finish it off in a hot skillet basted with plenty of butter and aromatics. Serve this juicy steak over a bed of buttery roast garlic mashed potatoes, with some broccolini on the side. Get the recipe here.
Pasture Raised Chicken Sage Sausage Rigatoni with Lemon Cream Sauce
Our Pasture Raised Sage Chicken Sausage is herbaceous and savory with incredible sage flavor. It pairs beautifully with a bright yet decadent cream sauce, very similar to a classic alfredo. Rigatoni is the perfect noodle for this dish, but feel free to play with different shapes such as shells or even farfalle (bowties). This is also great with our Pork Italian Sausage! Get the recipe here.
Pasture Raised Ground Pork Stir Fry with Crunchy Asian Slaw
The secret to this pasture raised ground pork stir fry is caramelization. A bit of brown sugar and fish sauce (no, it won't taste fishy AT ALL), transforms humble ground pork to a Vietnamese inspired flavor bomb with exceptional texture and umami. This quick and easy stir fry recipe has earned it's place in my rotation of weeknight meals and *not boring* lunches. Its rich flavor is balanced with freshly grated ginger, garlic, and a pop of heat from red Thai chili peppers. Totally optional, though encouraged. Ground chicken would also work very well here, so feel free to swap it out. Get the recipe here.

Just a few staple ingredients, plus our incredibly tasty pasture raised chicken breasts or thighs, and you’re on your way to an impressive dinner. Set yourself up for an even easier future meal by doubling the sauce and freezing half for another day! Get the recipe here.
Pasture Raised Pork Loin Chop with White Wine & Herb Cream Sauce
This might be the best pork loin chop recipe we've ever cooked – they're seared quickly to produce a golden crust on the outside and a juicy medium-rare interior, then rested while adding garlic, white wine, rosemary, and sage to the skillet. It's finished with rich heavy cream and reduced to a silky, beautiful sauce. Pork loin chops are a cut often included in our Grassroots Club subscription box. Crispy roasted potatoes make a great side dish. Get the recipe here.

To finish, these burgers are topped with melted cheese, crispy pasture raised bacon, and a creamy jalapeño ranch that will become your new favorite sauce. Get the recipe here.
