What to Cook and Eat in September: A Butcher's Perspective


ree

September is a month of change. The days grow cooler, school routines return, and we start craving heartier meals as fall approaches. At our butcher shop, this is one of our favorite times of year. Here’s what we recommend cooking and enjoying this month:


Grill While You Still Can


The weather is still warm enough for grilling, so take advantage of it. Our top picks:


  • Marinated Chicken Breasts or Thighs – Easy weeknight grilling, juicy and full of flavor.

  • Steak Tips or Skewers – Perfect for quick dinners with roasted vegetables or rice.

  • Fresh Sausages – Try sweet Italian or bratwurst on the grill before summer truly ends.



Slow Cooker Season Begins


As evenings get cooler, it’s the perfect time to break out your slow cooker:


  • Beef Chuck Roast – Ideal for pot roast with carrots and potatoes.

  • Boneless Pork Shoulder – Great for pulled pork sandwiches or tacos for busy school nights.

  • Short Ribs – Braised until tender with red wine, garlic, and herbs for a cozy Sunday dinner.


Back to School Quick Meals


Busy weekdays call for easy, protein-packed dinners:


  • Ground Beef or Turkey – For chili, tacos, meatballs, or shepherd’s pie.

  • Chicken Cutlets – Breaded and pan-fried for sandwiches or over pasta.

  • Thin-Sliced Beef – Flash sauté for quick stir fries with broccoli, peppers, and soy sauce.


Try Something New This Fall


If you’re ready to shift into autumn flavors, ask us about:


  • Lamb Stew Meat – Cook with root vegetables for a comforting meal.

  • Bone-In Pork Chops – Pan-sear then finish in the oven with apples and onions.

  • Our Loose Breakfast Sausage – Start cooler mornings with hearty breakfasts.


At our butcher shop, everything is cut fresh daily, so you get the best quality for your family meals. Whether you’re grilling outside for the last warm evenings or starting cozy braises for chilly nights, we’re here to help you choose the perfect cuts.


Stop in this week and let us know what you’re cooking – we love being part of your September table!
