Fishing Opener

It’s Fishing Opener!! One of my favorite Summer holidays!! I just love this weekend because it brings back so many family memories. When I was a kid my family and I never missed a fishing opener. It was rise and shine at 5:00 am. because you were on the boat by 6:00 am. to see the sunrise. I was never disappointed if I didn’t catch a fish it was just so much fun on the boat with family.  

Years later opening fishing is still a big event at our cabin because I always make a big breakfast for everyone. Then we pack the coolers with lunch because when the fish are biting, you just don’t have time to come back to the cabin to make lunch nor do you want to. You might miss catching the big one!! So, I thought I would put together a list of my menu to help you plan yours.

Breakfast

  • Fresh Eggs from our Dairy Department
  • Fresh Four Brothers Bacon from our Meat Department
  • Fresh Kemps Orange Juice
  • Fresh Sunny Sunflower Bread from our Bakery Department

Lunch

  • Kretschmar Shaved Honey Ham from our Deli Department
  • Kretschmar Sliced Cheddar Cheese from our Deli Department
  • Potato Salad from our Deli Department
  • Four Brothers Dollar Buns from our Bakery Department
  • Our Signature Beef Sticks and Tangy Summer Sausage from our Meat Department
  • Assorted Variety of Food Club Snacks you will find in our Snack Aisle

Dinner

  • The “Catch of the Day”
  • Variety of Salads from our Deli Department
  • Fresh Cut Fruit from the Produce Department
  • Dessert of Course!! Kemps “Gone Fishin” for the Chocolate Lover from the Frozen Department.
  • Fishing Bobber Cupcakes for the kiddy’s from the Bakery.

Sweet Summertime

Happy June everybody!!

Next week is July 4th and it is my very favorite holiday.  I love the weather and all the fun that comes along with this time of year.  Getting together with family and friends is got to be the best. I was in California a few weeks ago, and I discovered a new recipe that I promised myself I would do when I got back home because I just loved it. It was so good that I had to have seconds.

Before we get to the that though, I want to start with a Tri-tip Roast. This cut of meat is just scrumptious and so easy to prepare. The Tri-tip roast is a cut of beef from the bottom sirloin and when grilled to perfection in my opinion is better than a ribeye. It is so tender and flavorful and it will soon become one of your favorites. It is extremely popular out on the West Coast and has finally made its way here to the Midwest. Here is how easy it is to do.

I seasoned the roast with Four Brothers Prime Rib Seasoning. I use this seasoning for everything. I preheated the grill to 500-550 degrees because I wanted a very hot grill and then placed the roast on it. I seared the roast on each side by heating for 3 minutes and then turning it over for another 3 minutes. By searing your meat, it holds all the flavor in.  Then I turned down the grill and made sure the roast was on indirect heat. I slowly cooked it to 140 degrees for Medium Rare. I took it off the grill and covered it loosely with aluminum foil for about 10 minutes so that the juices soaked back into the meat to give it that wonderful flavor.

While the roast was cooking, I decided to have a cocktail to enjoy and found a recipe at a local restaurant that was so good I knew I needed to have this along with my meal. It’s called Lynchburg Lemonade and it’s sure to be a summertime favorite! 

Ok, back to when I was in California! This is what I’ve been waiting to share with you! I got the opportunity to try Mexican Street Corn and I have never been so excited about corn on the cob! I have always loved corn-on-the-cob but this took it to a whole new level. If you love corn you will love this experience. This recipe is unbelievable and I couldn’t stop eating it. You’ll be making this all summer long too! 

I think I just planned my July 4th meal and in fact I know I did! Enjoy the holiday with family and friends along with all the great foods of Summer. I wish you all a very happy 4th of July!
