Our Fall Winter Catalog is now available.  Use this link to view both the Fall Winter catalog as well as the Spring Summer catalog where many seasonal items are still available.

Ways to Grill

There are so many ways to cook outside.   Some that are often talked about are: 

  1. Grilling
  2. Flattop griddle (like a Blackstone)
  3. Smoker
  4. Campfire
  5. Pizza Oven – just installed at the outdoor pool we go to.

Don't Move Sides to the Side

When you attend a cookout, picnic or family reunion, what is your go-to dish to bring?
Potato salad? Coleslaw? Fresh fruit? Bars? Other? Mmmm … I’m getting hungry just thinking about it!
We won’t just be talking grilling, you have to have sides right?

Potato Hack

Grilled potatoes are a top choice for cookouts but cooking whole potatoes can take forever.

Try this trick for flavorful tender potatoes ready in 30 minutes. Make them on the grill or over a campfire. They’re delicious with any TS seasoning! What seasoning would you use?

Client Special

As you scroll through this presentation and make out your wish list, take note of this month’s client special. 

Add zing to just about anything with the NEW! Salt & Vinegar Seasoning. Great on potatoes, veggies, meat and more! Try it for only $6 (save $4.99) with any $59+ purchase in August.

Grilled Chicken

Let’s look at some ideas to spice up your grilled chicken.

BBQ chicken on the grill often takes center stage at cookouts. Tastefully Simple seasonings and sauces are a simple way to add TONS of flavor to your chicken. If you were looking for a flavor other than BBQ, some flavors you may want to try are:

  1. Honey Teriyaki
  2. Dijon mustard + sweet onion
  3. Lemon Pepper
  4. Savory herbs

Look at the recipes below and note the products used so you can decide on what you would like to add to your list.

Barbequed Chicken Recipes

Grilled Honey Teriyaki

Kids and grown-ups will want more of these homemade chicken tenders with flavorful dipping sauce.
This recipe calls for Honey Teriyaki and Garlic Garlic

Dijon Vidalia Onion Chicken

Vidalia® Onion Dressing is great on salads and makes a great marinade and grill sauce.  Check out this Dijon mustard + sweet onion recipe.
It uses Vidalia Onion Dressing.

Rustic Herb Chicken

Rustic Herb adds a ton of savory flavor without extra calories or fat. Check out this simple recipe.

Of course it uses Rustic Herb Seasoning.  It also uses Roasted Garlic Oil.

Pasta Salads

Who are my pasta salad fans?

Pasta salads are a great cookout side dish. They are easy to make, easy to transport and are family friendly.

Recipes

Italian Pasta Salad

An Italian inspired pasta salad is classic. Mix up yours a bit with the flavors of, balsamic, basil and Italian garlic.

(Products:  Basil and Balsamic Dipping Oil and Italian Garlic Seasoning)

Chicken Cherry Pasta

Pictured above is a Chicken Cherry Pasta Salad using Makin Magic Chicken for the chicken.

Makin Magic Chicken is a very versatile seasoning that comes in a large jar.  It is good on any meat or vegetable.  It comes in a large jar because the original intent was to make batches of yummy chicken to be used in other recipes such as this.

Southwestern Pasta Salad

How about a Southwest spin? Try this Tex-Mex inspired pasta salad.

It  makes use of Mom’s Favorite Taco Seasoning.

Veggies on the Grill

Have you ever cooked veggies on the grill?

One of my new favorites is grilled corn on the cob. I love that you don’t have to boil water and steam up the kitchen…keep the cooking outdoors.

Place cleaned corn cobs directly on a medium heat grill, turn occasionally until slightly charred – about 8-10 minutes. Then slather with butter and any Tastefully Simple seasoning (I recommend Garlic Pepper or Italian Garlic Seasoning). Yummy!

Recipes

Bayou Grilled Green Beans

Green beans on the grill? Yes! Grab your grill basket and give this one a try.

Lemon Pepper Grilled Asparagus

Lemon Pepper Grilled Asparagus is another fun one to try. The full-size spears are easy to grill … lay them across the grill grate so they don’t end up in the bottom of your grill or use a grill mat.

Grilled Zucchini

Grilled zucchini is another favorite (especially when we’ve got more garden-fresh zucchini than we know what to do with).

Try this tangy and flavorful grilled recipe that uses Garlic Garlic and Roasted Infused Garlic Oil.
