RECIPE: Ready for Summer Rhubarb Cilantro Dip

I love a recipe that handed off on a post it because I begged to know how to make it. Shadow brought this one to the ranch last week, and I’ve been bugging her to give me the details since. It’s a super flexible recipe. Keep the ingredients fresh and raw, and you’ll have a salsa or relish for your wraps. Prep the veggies with a little blanching and simmering, you can turn it into a sauce for slathering on delicious meats as well. And any excuse to use more of that prolific rhubarb is a win in my book.

Nacho Taco Dip

This Nacho Taco Dip recipe is the perfect party food! It's easy to make and packed with flavor and nutrients thanks to the use of Ramstead Ranch Ground Beef. The beef is cooked with taco seasoning and then combined with salsa, jalapeños, and cream cheese. The mixture is then topped with shredded cheese and sour cream (if you choose). The result is a delicious and satisfying dip that is sure to be a hit with your guests. The best part is that it can be prepped ahead of time, so you can spend more time with your guests and less time in the kitchen. Give this recipe a try and see for yourself how easy and delicious it is! Oh, and we like to freeze the leftovers for easy snacks and lunches!

RECIPE: Pork Steak With Stone Fruits

Pork steaks have special, robust flavor that sets them apart from even the most delicious pork chop. When you slow cook them with seasonally fresh fruits, the mix is magical. Berries, peaches, and apricots top my list of recommended fruit to try. You’ll be dazzled! (Psst: this is a great way to use any bruised or not-so-perfect fruits from your harvest.)

Chimichurri Sauce

Chimichurri sauce is a condiment that is more universal than its name suggests. It sounds like a special event only item, but I can think of dozens of our family-favorite meals that get even better when you add a little chimichurri. Since there are many variations of this recipe, I feel free to add my own substitutions.
