BLT Sub Sandwich Recipe with Herb-Garlic Mayo
One of our family's favorite tastes of summer is a fresh bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich. We took a slightly different take on this popular handheld sub by using our meaty cottage bacon to fill a hoagie roll from edge to edge.

Maple Cider Glazed Salmon with Honey Butter Polenta

Who doesn’t love a good salmon dish? Salmon, in my opinion, is such a versatile protein, and pairs well with most anything. This specific recipe was inspired by none other than my Pinterest board. And let’s just say, it did not disappoint. I’m a big fan of a spicy and sweet combination, and the two mesh beautifully in this dish. The marinade for the salmon is so good that you might consider taking a swig - no judgment here if you do. If polenta isn’t your thing, by all means, swap it out with some mashed potatoes or rice. I, for one, really enjoyed the sweet component of the polenta, but that’s just me. I hope you enjoy this recipe just as much as my family did!

Chicken Chorizo Tacos with Mango Salsa

Indulge in this spicy and tangy taco recipe, featuring one of our newest products, Chicken Chorizo! While chorizo can be used in a variety of dishes, with its cured and seasoned elements, I find using it for tacos is superior. While the chorizo is the star in this dish, let's not overlook the home made mango salsa. It may be the most time consuming part of this recipe, but it is worth it. The freshness and acidity compliments the spice of the chorizo so well. These flavors are sure to leave your mouth watering for more after each bite!

Bacon Jam Pork Sliders with Dill Pickle Slaw

I had heard of this thing called bacon jam a couple years ago and it definitely intrigued me. Don’t ask me why it took me that long to actually make it myself - trust me, after tasting it, I’m wondering the same thing. Bacon jam is a great and simple way to elevate the flavor of your recipes. In this case, I am using it as a topper for my pork sliders. Pork and more pork. Need I say more? It’s the perfect balance between sweet and savory. The caramelized texture and rich flavor makes it the best condiment for so many different dishes, sweet and savory alike. Pro tip, put it on top of some vanilla ice cream and your life will be complete. Bacon jam is technically a relish, so store it in an air tight jar in the refrigerator and enjoy for weeks to come. And you WILL enjoy it! This recipe is one of a kind and a combination of some of my favorite flavors. You really can't go wrong with bacon or dill pickle, am I right? The slaw really brings a refreshing element to this recipe and in my opinion completes it, but if it's not your gig, you can do away with it. I used ground pork and made small patties for this recipe, but you can most certainly substitute pulled pork as well. With that said, get to cooking so you can get to eating! Enjoy!
