National BBQ Month - Quick Marinades

Happy National BBQ Month! Use that grill or BBQ to make amazing food. 

As I have been looking up how to grill different meats, I keep seeing Marinades come up.  I always assumed a marinade took hours, but I have found several marinades that can take as little as 30 minutes. That is great news! I always want to try out Marinades, but never seem to remember to look them up until I already should have been marinating the meat for several hours. So even if you forget, like I do, or decide last minute to grill up some yummy meat, you can add loads of flavor with a marinade while you are preparing the rest of the meal.

Quick Marinades


Quick Chicken Marinade
Chicken – Chicken takes on flavor well and quickly. Add the smokiness of the grill and you have a delicious meal.

You can also use any of the seasoning saltbalsamic vinegar and olive oil on our website to create delicious marinades.



Quick Steak Marinade

Steak – This is one meat I usually only salt, pepper and grill. Then I use steak sauce after it is cooked. While that is tasty, I am excited to try marinating it to get some different flavors going. This recipe is exactly what I was looking for in terms of marinating meat and preparing the other food at the same time. Plus it is a completely different flavor than the one I usually eat with steak. 



Salmon Marinade
Fish – A marinade can really help you eat more fish if you don’t like that “fishy” flavor. It is quick to add flavor to fish, typically not taking more then 15-20 minutes. Some firmer fish like Salmon can take up to an hour. Pro-Tip: Don’t marinate your fish in an Aluminum pan as the acid in most marinades will react with the Aluminum. 


Vegetable Marinade
Vegetables – This recipe makes a great side or main dish. This one will take longer to marinate then other recipes on here, but it looks so good I couldn't help but share it here. 

If you need a grill pan for vegetables or fish, you can get one here.

We've just added a Gluten Free department to our web site! We know how important accessibility to Gluten Free foods is to people that need to or want to avoid gluten. In our Gluten Free Foods department we've got a great selection of corn and rice pastas. Il Macchiaiolo pastas are delicious, gourmet pastas from the Piedmont region of Italy. They are made in small batches which ensures homemade quality and maximum freshness. We've also got some sweets in our Gluten Free department. Primo Pan Gluten Free Cookies make a great snack. They are crunchy, light, and contain top-quality ingredients from small farms in the surrounding area of Battifollo in Italy. Primo Pan Biscotti Cookies are also a delicious Gluten Free indulgence from Battifollo. Finally, we have Corn Couscous and Corn & Rice Couscous. If you've never used couscous it's very easy to get used to. It cooks in boiling water, just like rice, and is a great side-dish replacement for rice.

Still haven't tried absinthe?
Do it right with this traditional absinthe glass.

La Rochere 10 oz Absinthe Glass (Goblet)
On Sale: $9.51

The mythical herbal liqueur from the turn-of-the-century was a great favorite of artists, and this graceful 6.5" high goblet is faceted to showcase the rich colors of absinthe or wine. The oldest glass factory in France, La Rochere was founded in 1475. La Rochere products are produced by melting, at around 1450 degrees C, a mixture of sand, soda, and lime to create silico-sodocalcic glass.

how to drink absinthe:

  • 2 oz absinthe
  • 6 oz water
  • 1 sugar cube

  • Pour 2 oz of absinthe into glass (traditional absinthe glasses have a small reservoir at bottom that measures the absinthe for you).
  • Place absinthe spoon (slotted spoon) over your glass and place 1 sugar cube on the spoon.
  • Slowly drip cold water through the sugar cube so it disolves into the absinthe.
  • Mix together with your spoon and it's ready to drink!
