Tap into Spanish Tapas

If you love snacking, socializing and sipping on wine, tapas are right up your alley! Tapas are small plates of food, traditional to Spain, that are served before either lunch or dinner. These plates typically have unique flavor combinations and are different than appetizers because they’re much smaller, so your group is able to sample many foods at a time. Tapas are shared in a casual environment and paired with a glass of beer or wine.

Salmon burgers boast versatility over fish cakes

This past August four new salmon burgers became available in all Lunds and Byerly’s meat and seafood departments. This time of year when we hear the word “burger” we might be instantly thinking of potato chips, backyard picnics and how we hope the tank on our grill has enough propane for one or two more BBQ sessions before winter!

 

As we transition into fall and winter many of us typically think of family gatherings and football games. Let me ask you this. How many of us love crab cakes at Holiday parties? You might be able to see where I’m going with this.
