Recipe Roundup- Make it With Mustard- 30 Magnificent Recipes

Do you love mustard as much as we do? Do you cook with it? If you said yes, then, today is your lucky day. We have compiled 30 of our favorite easy recipes featuring our three award-winning mustards (Cherchies® Champagne Mustard (our Flagship product), Cherchies® Cranberry Mustard, and Cherchies® Hot Banana Pepper Mustard).

Who says mustard is only for hot dogs, burgers, and pretzels? Not us! Beyond the beloved wieners and sandwiches, do you know that many chefs and home cooks cleverly add some “mustard zing” to their culinary dishes? I recently spoke with one of our local chef friends and he shared some deliciously creative uses you may not have thought of in your cooking:

  • Use mustard as a thickener for stews.

  • Add mustard as an emulsifier for vinaigrette recipes.

  • Use as a glaze or rub for meats.

  • Enhance your marinades with mustard.

  • Use as a dip for pretzels, chicken tenders, cheese, and so much more!

Mustard’s versatility is an understatement, so if you love mustard like we do and want to add extra zing to your favorite dishes, then grab a jar, make it with mustard, and make something amazing! Imagine the possibilities! Enjoy these fabulous recipes!

Recipe Roundup- 30 Quick & Easy Labor Day Recipes

What are your plans for the Labor Day weekend?  Whether you are making that last trip to the beach, hanging by the pool, or barbequing, celebrate your day off and end of summer with 30 of our favorite easy recipes.

Labor Day, the first Monday of September means that white clothes are out, sales are in, summer holidays are over, and football season and classes begin. For many of us (but far from all of us), it’s a welcome day off from work or school, ahead of what is likely to be a busier month than the last.-Time Magazine.

Labor Day started as a part of the labor union movement, to recognize the contributions of men and women in the US workforce, but modernly is seen as a chance to celebrate the last weekend of summer. -www.dosomething.org.  

Thanks for stopping by:)  Comment below and let us know what recipes you will be making this weekend.

Have a safe and happy Labor Day Weekend!
