Southern Grocery Company: How to Have Restaurant-Style Meals at Home

Have you ever wondered why it seems that you can't ever quite make dinners as well as a local top steakhouse? 

Quality restaurants often offer a higher quality of meats than what you typically find in a grocery store or even a chain restaurant, so it might not be due to a lack in your culinary skills. 

You don't have to go to Ruth Chris to get a to-die-for steak anymore because Southern Grocery Company can bring prime cuts of beef right to your front door (click here to SHOP our gourmet foods)!

Want to make a restaurant caliber meal in the comfort of your own home? Here are 3 easy tips for making it delicious:

Scrumptious Sides: Special touches make all the difference with your side items. Try making a tomato salad with fresh mozzarella cheese, drizzled with a homemade vinaigrette (our Tondo Balsamic Vinegar is amazing!). With summer right around the corner, try hitting up local farmer's markets for ultra fresh corn on the cob, green beans or lettuce.

Main Course Magic: When grilling a steak, make sure you let it sit out for a bit at room temperature before you cook it. This will allow it to take seasoning better and cook faster. Once you put your steak on the grill, let it rest as it cooks. When it's time to flip, don't put it in the exact spot as it was before because this spot is now a little bit cooler.

Delectable Desserts: An amazing meal needs a grand finale! If you're not a pastry chef, don't worry-- Southern Grocery Company has you covered. Check out our Southern Delights. We're pretty partial to our Gourmet Chocolate Cake!

3 Reasons Why Hormone-Free Chicken is Better

We all know that buying all-natural products could increase our grocery bills, but thanks to Southern Grocery Company ... a bigger tab doesn't have to be the case (click here to shop NOW)! 

According to a study by The Food Borne Pathogens and Disease, chicken is said to be one of the best investments for your 'healthy eating budget.' So if you are resolved to having an improved diet consider the benefits of ordering Southern Grocery 's hormone-free poultry products for you and your family today. 

If you're not yet convinced about making the switch from supermarket meats to all-natural chicken (or beef and even seafood), here are three reasons to help you reconsider:

1) Fewer Toxins.Even though nobody wants to hear or think of food as poisonous, commercially-raised poultry contains hormones (which was banned from poultry production in the 1950s by the way), antibiotics and trace amounts of pesticides... which can all be a potential health hazard. All-natural chicken contains none of this at all.

2) Less Fat.
Organic chicken tends to be less fatty compared to their commercially-raised relatives. The American Culinary Federation even recommends adding a little bit more oil when cooking an organic bird because of its leaner cuts.

3) More Flavor.One more benefit of organic chicken is its significantly different taste. It also tends to be more tender and have more complex flavors (which diners at dinner tables everywhere seem to prefer).

While hormones have not been allowed in poultry production for more than 50 years, it remains perfectly legal and an accepted practice in the beef cattle industry.

The good news is-- you can now order gourmet, hormone-free chicken from Southern Grocery Company that can be delivered directly to your door. To get started with your order NOW visit SoGroCo.com .

Too Busy to Eat Right? No Way! Southern Grocery Company Can Help.

You're working all week. The kids have school and soccer practice, piano lessons, and ballet classes. 

Throw in a few errands and social obligations... and what's the first thing to go? Your family's healthy diet. 

When we're strapped for time, the drive-thru seems like the best option for family dinner, but it doesn't have to be that way. You can skip the high-calorie, guilt-inducing fare of your local fast food joint and still get dinner on the table in a flash with the help of Southern Grocery Company 's gourmet artisans (click here to SHOP NOW)!
 
That's right, Southern Grocery offers a number of fresh, gourmet options to help you serve a healthy dinner fast. When you're busy, it's important to leverage the time you do have to make healthy meals easier on those nights you don't have a spare second.

No matter how packed your schedule is, you can probably make a little time to prepare for the week ahead on the weekend. For example: hit the supermarket and pick up plenty of fresh fruits and veggies for the week. Then, clean and prep them for easy use during the week. 

Additionally, stock up on grab-n-go snacks like baby carrots and clementines and cut up celery or bell peppers for equally easy snacks. You may even want to pick up a few heads of lettuce to create you own salads. Lettuce will easily last through the week in your Salad Spinner (or you can pack individual layered salads with other veggies and toppings in a Mason jar)!
 
The moral of the story is-- When it comes to healthy living, having a plan helps a lot... so starting this weekend try to plan out your meals for the week and post them on your fridge. 

Most importantly, think about healthy options from Southern Grocery such as Salmon Fillets (which are already portioned, de-boned and oven-ready). 

Other great choices the whole family will love are our Sea Bass Fillets and  Crab-Stuffed Flounder Fillets . You can grill, pan fry or oven roast them quickly and easily. 

Add a salad or veggies you've already prepped and you've got a healthy, gourmet dinner for the whole family!

4 Tips to Help You Skip Takeout for Dinner Tonight

We've all been there: It's a Tuesday evening, and you're driving home from a whirlwind of a work day and contemplating how on earth you're going to fit in a workout, the laundry, those emails you didn't get to while you were in meetings all day AND a homemade dinner for your family (click HERE to opt for Southern Grocery gourmet food instead).

It's tempting to pick up the phone and get pizza or Chinese food delivered but not only does takeout food get expensive, it's typically loaded with calories, fat, salt and preservatives.

Here are 4 tips to balance a hectic schedule with still finding time to prepare healthy, inexpensive meals at home: 

1) Plan ahead. Before the craziness of your week sets in, take a look at your week and what plans and obligations you have each evening. If you know you have a PTA meeting and need to pick your children up from  soccer practice later that evening, thus getting home later than usual, make sure you have something at home that can be made quickly—or better yet, use a slow cooker so that dinner’s waiting for you when you get home.

2) Remember that skipping eating out doesn’t have to mean giving up convenience. After a long day, it’s nice to have someone bring ready-to-eat food to your door. Giving up takeout food doesn’t mean you have to give up that convenience. Southern Grocery Company delivers entrees and sides to your door that are ready to heat. 

Our Southern Hospitality poultry entrees are great time savers. You can quickly throw our boneless chicken breasts, turkey burgers or all-natural chicken kabobs on the grill, and they’ll be ready faster than any pizza delivery guy could get to your door. Pair with our Southern Fields side dishes, and you have a great meal! Best of all, Southern Grocery Company uses the best ingredients, so you can feel confident that we bring you food much more healthy than what you can find in a greasy takeout bag.

3) "Brown bag" it. It can be especially hard to say no to eating out for lunch with coworkers when there is also a social aspect to it, but lunches can really add up.  According to Forbes, the average American goes out to lunch twice a week and spends an average of $11.40 on each meal. This adds up to almost $1,200 a year. Instead of heading out for salads and sandwiches, enlist the help of your coworkers and agree that you’ll do something fun like take your lunches and eat them in a park or have a potluck once a month.

4) Reward yourself.
With the money you save from eating out less, occasionally reward yourself with treats.  Our Southern Delights Cookie Dough is always a big hit, and everyone loves our juicy All-Natural Ribeye Steaks!

Here’s to eating deliciously healthy in the comfort of your own home!

Southern Grocery Has the KEY to a Quick, Easy & Delicious Dessert

Key Lime Pie is a quintessential American dessert. 

Born in the Florida Keys in the days before refrigeration was widely available, this delicious treat has come a long way since then. 

In fact, you can now order a gourmet Key Lime Pie online from Southern Grocery Company to be delivered direct to your door (CLICK HERE to order NOW)!

Unlike the traditional limes you find at your local grocery store, Key limes are smaller and more acidic and have thinner rinds. The tart, aromatic flavors of these Key limes is truly what unlocks the potential of this gourmet pie of ours.  Additionally, the juice of a Key lime is more yellow than green, which explains the color of the filling when you indulge in a true Key lime pie.

Typically prepared with Key lime juice, egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk, the exact origin of the pie is unclear-- but historians have traced it back to the 19th century in the Florida Keys. Fresh milk wasn't always available, as refrigeration was limited. There is also evidence that sponge fishermen would take Key lime pies with them when they embarked on long fishing trips.

Southern Grocery Company 's Key Lime Pie gives you modern, gourmet sophistication with the simple tastes of the old days. Even better, you won't spend hours in the kitchen preparing this delicious dish. Simply thaw the frozen pie and it's ready to serve. You can even get a little fancy if you wish by adding your own meringue or fresh whipped cream!

These days you don’t have to go all the way to the Florida Keys to appreciate this refreshing dessert. Now you can enjoy it with your family for a special after-dinner treat or bring it to your next potluck party. Each bite of this cool and creamy pie gives you a tropical twist that's perfect for just about anyone's palate!

To indulge in the Sunshine State's favorite dessert anywhere visit SoGroCo.com NOW and add our gourmet Key Lime Pie to your next home delivery order.

Bring Romance Home for Valentine's Day

The crowd, the long wait, lousy service, the noise, the parking, and the reservations... romantic, right? These are just a few of the bothers that can make going out less than lovable on Valentine's Day.

Roses are Red, but Caramel Fudge Pecan Cake is Better!

The parade of the Roses in L.A. might remind you about that special day of the year when we proudly recognize our affection for a loved one. We're talking about Valentine's Day, and it's right around the corner!

While there are so many innovative Valentine's Day gift ideas out there today the two most common presents still seem to be: 

- a box of goodies (which are usually chocolates) or
- a bouquet of fresh flowers (which are typically roses).  

Sure, the say-it-with-flowers route may be the easiest solution for properly professing your love to someone on the 14th of this month, but why not take the gesture of "I love you" to a whole new level this year--with a Caramel Fudge Pecan Cake from Southern Grocery?!

If the name of this gourmet confection alone isn't enough to sway you from spending a hefty amount on those flowers from your local supermarket, here's a little comparison that may help break you out of that boring bouquet of a tradition...

Roses
The smell: the typical scent of flowers picked from the garden, or even the distinct fragrance that reminds you of your Great Aunt Martha's perfume.
The taste: none. 
Shelf life: dead after 2-3 days.
Response to gift: brief excitement, along with a parking spot for your present at the nearest end table/window sill (only to be soon forgotten).

Caramel Fudge Pecan Cake
The smell: the wafting aroma of melted caramel, continuous whiffs of chocolate fudge and the lingering essence of baked goods (just like Grandma's house).

Shelf life: several weeks (until served. At that point, it could be gone in a matter of minutes).
The taste: could be described with 3 letters... O-M-G. That's short for Ooey, Marvelous & Gooey!
Response to gift: few words of gratitude, but only because your beloved may be too busy indulging.

Still considering flowers?! We surely hope you aren't. This coming Valentine's Day skip that ordinary offering of red roses and send your paramour an edible piece of Heaven from Southern Grocery instead. 

To have a Caramel Fudge Pecan Cake delivered to sweetheart's doorstep or to shop our selection of other gourmet desserts visit SoGroCo.com TODAY.

Here’s to Valentine's Day gifts that'll tease not only hearts...but taste buds too!

Four Ways to Bring Your Family to the Table with Top Sirloin

Top sirloin is a delicious, affordable, and most importantly, flexible cut of meat that can be adapted to a wide variety of recipes. Southern Grocery Company's gourmet Top Sirloin Steaks have just the right marbling to create melt-in-your-mouth, crowd-pleasing flavor. 

Here are four ideas for putting these delicious steaks to work in your kitchen:

Grilled sirloin: Fire up the grill and throw on serving-sized portions of top sirloin. Before you head outside, season them simply with a little bit of sea salt, cracked pepper, garlic powder, even some lemon pepper seasoning or seasoned salt, whatever your family enjoys the most. Grill to your desired doneness, about 4-5 minutes per side. Be careful not to flip them too often, so you get those great grill marks. Serve your steaks with the traditional baked potato and side salad. Sauteed mushrooms or onions make great toppers for the steak. Alternatively, you can thread chunks of sirloin onto to skewers with peppers, onions, mushrooms, and tomatoes for delicious kabobs on the grill. 

Roasted sirloin and veggies: This is a "kitchen sink" kind of recipe where you can throw in almost any vegetables you've got in your refrigerator. It's a great way to use up things that might be on their way out, so to speak. Basically, put a little olive oil in the bottom of a large roasting pan. Throw in whatever vegetables you like. Root vegetables like carrots, rutabagas, turnips, or parsnips work well or you could try zucchini, yellow squash, and tomatoes. Even Brussels sprouts could be good. Make sure to cut the veggies into similarly sized pieces. Roast the vegetables in the oven at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes, until they start to soften. The timing will depend on the kinds of vegetables you choose, so watch them pretty carefully. Clear some space in the roasting pan for your sirloin and roast it for 8-10 minutes, turning over halfway through cooking. Finishing the veggies with the steaks will give you out of this world flavor!

Pan-seared steak and eggs: Everybody loves breakfast for dinner and this is a great way to do it! Heat up your cast iron skillet over medium-high heat with 3 tablespoons of canola oil and 2 tablespoons of butter to add flavor and make sure your steaks don't stick to the pan. Season the steaks like you would for the grill and cook them about 5-6 minutes per side, depending on the how done you like them. Let the steaks rest while you prepare eggs and toast to accompany them. 

Baked sirloin fajitas: You can enjoy all the flavors from your favorite Mexican restaurant at home. Cut your top sirloin into bite-sized pieces and season with fajita seasoning or cumin, salt, and pepper. Then, cut up a red bell pepper, a green bell pepper, and a large onion into strips. If you and your family can take the heat, chop a jalapeno in very small pieces. You can also try mushrooms and tomatoes, if you like. Toss the meat and veggies into a roasting pan with some olive oil. Bake at 400 degrees for about 15-20 minutes or until the veggies soften and the meat is done to your liking. Serve on flour tortillas with all the traditional toppings like cheese, lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream, and guacamole.

There's so much you can do with this delicious, adaptable cut of meat. Plus, you can get SoGroCo's Top Sirloin Steaks delivered right to your door, fresh from the farm.

Pig Out! Southern Grocery Brings NEW Tastes to Your Dinner Table with Pork Chops

“Chicken again?”

You won't hear the usual dinner time groans when you bring our all-natural boneless pork chops to the table! 

These lean, protein-rich chops are a great alternative to the same old chicken dishes you've been making. They are great on the grill or “shaked and baked” in the oven, just like mom used to make. 

A meat thermometer will help you really make these chops shine. Federal food safety regulators say pork chops are safely done at 145 degrees. You'll have the juiciest, most delectable chops you've ever tasted when you properly prepare this gourmet meat from Southern Grocery Company.

So, the next time you invite friends and family to your special gathering, remember to include our boneless pork chops in your farm-to-doorstep delivery order.

Southern Grocery is All Up in Your Grill... with Healthful Gourmet

Close the kitchen and fire up the grill! Why?! 

Because our Southern Grocery Artisans have a great way to make an outdoor feast that's big in flavor, kid-friendly and light on everything else! 

Yes sir, whether you’re burning aged hardwoods or turning on the gas grill (which you don’t have to wait for spring/summer to do by the way), you can’t beat the flavor and the satisfaction you get when you are cooking over an open flame.

Grilling, might we remind you... is a cooking method that is waistline-friendly (provided your menu is carefully planned). Just keep in mind: while marinades can add zing to meals for very few additional calories, most spice rubs add no calories at all. 

Even grilling vegetables can be a more healthful alternative to cooking them indoors because they only need a little a spritz of oil and a sprinkle of salt before they hit the grill.

With that being said-- if you're looking to replace your conventional store-bought burgers and/or those sodium-laden hot dogs with something much tastier & healthier, give our gourmet food-on-a-stick a try this time around! 

We have an incredible variety of skewered meats available for delivery to just about anyone's doorstep including:

All-Natural Beef Kabobs
This delicious favorite from the middle east features all-natural Grade A Beef intertwined with fresh vegetables, packaged to be grill-ready upon thawing. Our Beef Kabobs make an ideal main course to serve at practically any occasion... from birthdays to holidays, to just an ordinary family supper on a weeknight!

All-Natural Chicken Kabobs
Stick it to ‘em at your dinner table… with our low carb Chicken Kabobs, which are also on skewers with veggies. That means these too are conveniently packaged for the same grill-ready goodness as our Beef Kabobs. Our Chicken Kabobs are especially an excellent source of lean protein for the "diet conscious" and they're also appreciated by kids of all ages too! 

Salmon SkewersYes, you can initiate a “Salmon Run” under your own roof (but at your dinner table) with Southern Grocery Company’s Salmon Skewers. Each piece of the flaky salmon is not only loaded with flavor, but they're also packed with a hefty serving of protein and heart-healthy Omegas. 

So what are you waiting for?! Fire up your grill, invite your friends & family to have a healthy dinner and serve up some Southern Grocery skewer favorites without having any guilt of it damaging your waistline.

Landing Strip(s)... Soar Sky High with Kids' Gourmet from Southern Grocery

Protein is one of the most essential nutrients for children to thrive in their development. 

Not only does it support healthy growth, it also improves the body’s natural immunity!

Kids, however, can be picky when it comes to mealtime, making it not-so-easy to give them the necessary nutrition.

But good news-- Southern Grocery Company has found the solution with a new mealtime favorite: Breaded Chicken Strips! 

These tender strips of chicken are delicious and high in protein, perfect for any time of day. You can serve them alone or even topped with our gourmet Mango Chutney for a terrific tropical twist!
 
Don’t get us wrong-- adults are allowed to enjoy these as well, because they are scrumptious at any age!

For a new high-protein dinner favorite, order your Breaded Chicken Strips from Southern Grocery TODAY at SoGroCo.com.

The Missing Link: Smoked Apple Brandy Sausage as Low Carb Option from Southern Grocery

Do you consider yourself to be an 'eater of healthy foods?' 

Sometimes the most conscientious eaters will avoid some very healthy foods because of the fat content. 

And even though the word is out that aren't totally bad (after all, our brains are mostly fat), there are still many mixed messages about the role of fats in a diet. 

Throughout the land you can still hear cries like, "There’s too much fat in that!” which of course, includes newspapers, magazines, the internet and TV. Thankfully, however, that high-protein/high-fat diet from Mr. Atkins has changed the mindsets of many weight conscious people for many years now.

Well a new year has started and most of us are ready to embark (again) on those dreaded lifestyle changes in activities, routines and food choices. 

The good news about this, though, is you can actually enjoy eating healthy, tasty gourmet food instead of typical diet fare like those chalky shakes or pre-packaged meals (which are loaded with sodium by the way).

At Southern Grocery Company we provide high quality southern-style products ... many of which can support your healthy lifestyle.

Not only is everything delicious, our farm-to-table freshness can be delivered to to just about anyone's doorstep!

One of our NEW artisan favorites is our Smoke Apple Brandy Sausage, which is a perfect low-carb option for breakfast or suppertime. This is an excellent combination for those watching their waistlines: lean meat marinated in a tasty apple brandy AND a great source of protein.

If you'd like to add this (or any of our other gourmets foods) to your new healthy living lifestyle visit our web site TODAY at SoGroCo.com.

Here's to finding the missing "link" to healthier living in 2014!
