From Scratch: 5 special AND homemade ingredients

 

Our guys make all of our chef-crafted, ready-to-eat meals in house, but there are a few homemade ingredients that make our food really stand out.

Who wants store-bought ranch, tortillas or pesto, when we can make it for you!

 

  • What makes our wings so dang good? A fiery marinade recipe brought straight from the Caribbean island!

 

  • Homemade pesto and local ingredients make our Tomato and Mozzarella Salad pop.

 

  • Next time you scarf down one of our breakfast tacos, remember that deliciously fresh tortilla – made from scratch each morning!

 

  • Our Brutus Salad is the spicier cousin to the Caesar – partly due to the delicious Mexican caviar as a topping!

 

  • Our most popular item – the Southwest Chicken Wrap – is all the more delicious with our homemade dipping sauce, consisting of half ranch and half our Caribbean marinade.

We’re aren’t sharing our secret recipes, but next time you have one of these meals, you’ll be a little more satisfied knowing the love and care that goes into each bite.

What exactly is craft beer?

This is American Craft Beer Week, and we are dedicating ourselves to spotlighting our favorites. But first we need to know the definition of “craft” beer, where it came from and how it’s different from others – in both process and taste!

I am sure you are all familiar with a little thing called Prohibition. Well this pretty much wiped out small American breweries. But we Americans love our beer, so we came up with a solution: brewing our own. And when Congress legalized it in 1978, it took off.

But with so many beers on the market, how do you know which is craft?

Well the name usually gives it away. Coors, Miller, Bud, Corona… Not so much. Craft beers usually have more unique (read: weirder) and more localized names like Deep Ellum Dreamcrusher or Kronenbourg.

Without relying on the name though, there are three basic rules to classifying a craft beer according to the Brewers Association:

  • Small: produces six million bottles or less each year
  • Independent: less than 25% of the brewery is owned or controlled by someone who isn’t a craft brewer
  • Traditional: a majority of its total alcohol volume derives from traditional brewing ingredients and their fermentation

Still not sure? Use Craft Check – an app that lets you scan a bottle’s barcode and instantly tells you if the beer is indeed craft. But the real purpose behind this terminology is transparency. Craft beers are known for their quality, and with beer on the rise, we don’t see that going away anytime soon.

Picnicking Perfectly

 

It’s every Texans favorite time of year… The sun is shining, bird’s are chirping. It’s not yet so hot that your skin starts to melt. Which means everyone wants to enjoy their time outside.

Our favorite way to do it? A picnic!

And here’s the three steps you need to make yours the best.

1. Plan the menu and order online from In the Sack

You can use our chef-crafted, ready-to-eat meals, wines, and liquors to make yours most memorable. Call, go online or use our app, we’ll bring it straight to your doorstep or even your picnic location!

2. Pack the cooler

For enjoyment AND safety reasons, it’s important to food the proper temperature.

If it’s cold:

  • Take only the amount of food you think you’ll use.  Our individual-sized meals are perfect for not over-stuffing your cooler.
  • Fill the cooler with ice, or use ice packs and frozen bottles of water. Do this just before leaving the house, and don’t open it until you’re ready to serve the food.
  • Keep cold drinks in a separate cooler because the cooler with drinks will be opened and closed frequently… slowly warming your food to an unappetizing temperature.

If it’s hot:

  • Wrap hot food in towels, then newspaper, and place inside a box or heavy paper bag.
  • Keep these foods warm either on an outdoor grill or eat within one hour.

And if you have leftovers, remember to put perishable foods back in the cooler or refrigerator as soon as you finish eating. Don’t leave them out while you go for a swim or a hike, and don’t leave them out all afternoon to nibble on.

3. Don’t forget the accessories

Food is crucial, but there’s more. Bring your favorite beverages – wine, liquor, beer and mixers – along with the things on this checklist:

  • Picnic blanket
  • Plates, forks, napkins, cups
  • Bottle opener – wine and beer!
  • Games
  • A football to throw
  • Sunscreen

Now you’re prepared for the perfect picnic!
