Bone-In Butcher Shop

Discover the artisanal craftsmanship of the revolutionary BONE-IN Butcher Shop located in Texas, and recognized by Forbes.com as the #1 “Online, Mail-Order” hearty meats. A socially conscious (and cost effective approach) to fine dining “IN” featuring the finest grades of beef, lamb, veal, chicken and pork delivered straight to your front door.

Founder and CEO, John Sayklay, invites you to experience cut proteins, not found on the retail level and typically not available to consumers. Their cutting goes beyond just custom cutting that you will find in your local butcher shop. Don’t confuse your grocery stores “premium choice” label on beef. The USDA doesn’t regulate the word “Premium” and can create false expectations.

NEW ITEMS COMING SOON:

Additions of organic chicken (think chicken wings for football season
Fajita meat sliced into strips made from organic boneless skinless chicken breasts
premium choice wet aged top sirloin Carnitas ( a hispanic dish).
Berkshire boneless pork butts cut into 3”-4” chunks
Bone -In chuck short ribs cut flanken style-another staple for the hispanics but also used for making Korean BBQ
Smoke Applewood Bacon
Frrozen wild, sustainably caught seafood. (Think Salmon, Halibut, Chilean Sea bass, Sushi grade Tuna, giant size shrimp from the gulf and Baja Mexico, king crab legs with claws bigger than a man’s fist, and cold water Australian and/or South African Lobster Tails)

Accepting orders for the holidays: Leg of Lamb, Cuts of veal, Turkeys, Duck, (raw and smoked), Hams, Rib and Tenderloin Roasts Caviar Foie gras Compound butters Cuts of grass fed Australian Wagyu beef.

Jar Goods

Founded by two sisters-in-law, Jar Goods is a new brand of clean-label tomato sauces & pestos made with vine-ripened tomatoes, pure olive oil, fresh onions, garlic and basil.

With a mission to create restaurant quality foods to simplify meals at home, this line of sauces was made for me. While my last name might be Italian, my busy lifestyle doesn’t always allow me to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Enter Jar Goods!

While there are a lot of pasta sauce brands in the world, you and I both know they are not all created equal. Jar Goods aims to be innovative with their sauces which include:

Classic Spicy (voted as “Best Spicy” by Men’s Health!)
Vegan Vodka Tomato Sauce made with coconut milk to make an indulgent, plant-based, dairy free version of a classic vodka sauce.
Classic Red Tomato Sauce which is thick, rich, and flavorful.

TIP: Make their Rigatoni with Classic Red Sausage Sauce recipe to impress the family this season.

Jar Goods sauces and pestos are a practical yet fun gift for foodies, family, friends, or hostess with the mostess.

Here in Dallas/Fort Worth, I can find them at grocery stores like Central Market and Tom Thumb, but you can find them nationwide at places like Whole Foods Market and more.

Sok-It

For those of us who love to stop by and grab our favorite iced coffee on the go (even in cold weather), hot coffee, or soda and iced tea, let me introduce you to the perfect stocking stuffer this year – Sok-It reusable iced and hot coffee sleeves. Perfectly sized to fit the stocking of everyone on your list. With over 1 million sold, this is a hot product right now!

You’ll discover 24 new styles all under $16 in a variety of sizes depending on what you typically like to order. These are made from thick, insulating, 4MM coated neoprene fabric on its inner and outer sides to provide natural barriers to various elements. In Texas that is everything, especially in summer. No mess to deal with, especially now that so many have stopped using styrofoam cups, which leaves my iced tea cups sweating from January to December. Yes, I said iced tea, because they have ones to fit your soda or iced teas too.

JavaSok™ cold sleeves fit most major brands like Dunkin®, Starbucks®, McCafé® Cups and many other similar sized cups, and not only retain ice so your beverage stays cold longer, but leaves you happy with dry hands, no mess, puddles or watermarks to worry about.
HotSok™ sleeves shield your hands from extreme heat and fit most disposable cup sizes.
SodaSok™ sleeves are just like JavaSok™ but made for your soda or iced tea cups.
BotlSok™ sleeves are specially made for your water bottles.

The holidays are extra fun because right now you can get your favorites in holiday patterns like my personal favorites, Red Snowflake and Holiday Ornaments. Wouldn’t that be a cute way to surprise the family before your annual car ride to look at Christmas lights? Go grab your favorite holiday coffee or hot chocolate, put on your Sok-It sleeves, and off you go.

Best of all, the sleeves are machine washable, which is so important right now. Win-win!

SHOP: Order at Sok-it.com or on Amazon.
