Are you serving enough Lamb? These Chops from Costco ought to be on your shopping list. Lamb is a pretty pricey option when it comes to choices at the meat counter. That is good loin lamb chops. Shoulder and Sirloin Chops are more economical but…
The lamb chops at Costco represent great savings compared to almost anywhere else. These lovely trimmed chops are irresistible at Costco prices. But darned if I could cook them correctly. I tried all kinds of methods. Stovetop or oven-roasted, mine were inevitably inconsistently cooked. They…
I am mad for Lasagna. Those layers and layers of pasta and cheese and luscious fillings with hints of rich tomato sauce are some of my favorite things to eat. That explains why there are no less than four recipes on the subject, links which…
Melissa Clark, Creator of great, simple recipes For a quick dinner with a little bit of panache, a lamb chop is just the ticket. I’m particularly fond of Costco’s loin lamb chops that have been perfectly trimmed. Two or three of these at a…
I am a big fan of the loin lamb chops that you can buy at Costco in packages of between 10 and 12 chops. They are all completely trimmed with none of the extraneous fat I often see on the chops in the butcher case…

If Holly Golightly wanted a better Breakfast At Tiffany’s, she could have just headed a half block west where, at Metro Marché, a 2-Egg Bacon Cheese Sandwich and a cup of coffee would have set her back just $6.95. And instead of braving the elements she would have found herself in this wonderfully open space with plenty of places to sit and lots of fantastic things to eat. Who knows, Holly might have just brought her laptop and set up shop waiting until lunchtime.
Like this writer, she would have been bowled over by what’s on offer in bowls of her own creation. I’d call it a Super Salad Bar. On top of a menu of no fewer than 8 Chef Designed Salads, I chose to make my own creation from Metro Marché’s Market Table. I selected a base, added two sides, topped them with a choice of protein –shrimp, salmon, chicken or tofu—and finished it off with one of 5 “sauces”, otherwise known as salad dressing
Sandwich Lovers will have to come back 15 times to sample all that’s on offer on Metro Marché’s Chef Designed Sandwich menu. From Melts to “Cold” Sandwiches and New York Deli Classics, they’re pertect to pair with a cup or bowl of soup. Not to be forgotten is an enormous array of all kinds of fresh juices, ‘house made’ lemonades and refreshers. Even sweet tooths can find satisfaction here ranging from Greek Yogurt Parfaits to Brownie bites and macaroons.
