A classic roast turkey is always a good idea during the holiday season, but it takes time and effort to prepare. And if you want to use your oven for fresh rolls, stuffing or other side dishes, there’s always a bit of a balancing act involved. That’s why Olliffe is pleased to offer Ready-Set-Roast turkeys—they allow customers to create a delectable, homestyle holiday meal with less prep work and space needed.
We’ve mentioned the holiday season a lot lately, and with good reason—December 25th is getting closer by the minute. There will be family gatherings, parties, holiday breakfast with the kids and plenty of other festive meals to plan. In the meantime, we know you’ve got dinner to make every night. And as the weather continues to grow colder, what’s better than a hot bowl of homemade soup?
The holiday season is just around the corner, and Olliffe is already bustling with activity behind the scenes. Christmas, Hanukkah, Boxing Day, New Year’s Eve and more—it’s all on the calendar and it’s not far off. We hope you’re looking forward to these very special times with your loved ones!
The secret to eating well is simple: buy local. Seriously, no matter what your preferences or dietary restrictions are, buying food from local producers and vendors is a great place to start. For starters, local products are delicious! Plus, buying local supports farmers and independent food producers in your region, so it’s truly a win for everyone.
It’s slow cooker season—one of the best times of year for those who appreciate easy, delicious, comforting family meals. Slow cooker recipes require minimal prep time and clean up, but deliver incredible taste thanks to that long, flavour-building cook time. Plus, who doesn’t love walking into a house that has a slow-cooked meal warming on the counter? It’s a mouth-watering experience!
Thanksgiving weekend is almost here, and we’re looking forward to it all: the beautiful autumn weather in the forecast (knock wood), quality time with family, and plenty of delicious food on the table. We hope all of our customers can enjoy the same!
