The Weather’s Fanta-Steak! Get it, Fanta-Steak? Here’s 5 recipes for you to enjoy!

The weather here in Vancouver has not been kind lately with some rain, cloud, cold and wind being dumped down on us but they don’t call us ‘raincouver‘ for no reason right? Finally the forecasted weather for the next few days is sunny and its the best time to break out that barbecue stowed away at the back corner of the shed.

Here at Greens Market we’ve compiled some recipes that is ideal for this week’s awesome sunny-baked weather.

Again, all of the meat mentioned in these recipes are all available in our store through our whole-animal butchery program in our ethical and sustainable meat department.

Its Mother’s Day! She deserves a loving home cook meal – Here are some recipes for this special day.

Today is Mother’s Day and i praise all the hard work each and every mom in the world do for their child every single day without hesitation, all the loving and caring, they just can’t get enough recognition for all the work. The work our mom’s do is underrated, think about it, they are literally available  24/7 for 365 days a year and they don’t even get the option to take a break from it all!

Recently ad agency Mullen created a job positing appropriately titled ‘World’s Toughest Job’, for a ‘operations manager’ but during the interview, the ‘responsibilities’ were listed as having to ‘offered no breaks, and little time for sleeping or eating. Oh, and no pay’.

Take a look at the video to see the responses from the various ‘candidates’ and it’ll make you appreciate the job our mom’s do for us each day.

So on Mother’s Day this year, take some quality time to cook her a home-cooked meal, no takeout. In fact, all take outs and dine outs should be banned on this day, in my opinion (you may disagree and i respect that). But with all the work our mom’s do, i believe she deserves one day of love filled home cook meal.

We’ve compiled a few recipes you can make at home with some hormone, medication-free meat from Greens Market and our partner farmers.
