Today's guest post is from my friend Lindsey, a native Midwestern girl who is currently living in New York with her husband and gorgeous children. Lindsey has been good at helping me out with recipes for this blog from time to time.
These particular recipes come from Lindsey's Easter feast and she got all of them from Wegmans, a regional supermarket chain on the East Coast. "If you lived on the East Coast, you would LIVE for Wegmans," Lindsey writes.
So here is Lindsey's Easter dinner - in places where they've used Wegmans-specific brands, I've tried to find comprable substitutes.
Grilled Butterflied Half Leg of Lamb 
SERVES 4
1 pkg (about 1 1/2 lbs) boneless butterflied leg of lamb
3 T. Wegmans Basting Oil (according to the website, this contains grapeseed oil, garlic oil extract, thyme, and parsley.)
Salt and pepper
8 oz Wegmans Roasted Red Pepper Sauce, warmed (**find alternate here)
Add lamb, basting oil, salt, and pepper in zipper-closure type plastic bag; toss. Marinate overnight.
Day you're serving lamb: Preheat grill on HIGH 10 min. Clean grill with wire brush. Using soft cloth, coat grill grate lightly with vegetable oil.
Sear lamb on grill until color changes one-quarter of way up from bottom, 3-4 min. Turn over and sear other side, 2-3 min longer. Reduce heat to MEDIUM; close lid.
Cook 5-10 min, until lamb reaches internal temp that is 5 degrees below final desired internal temp (refer to meat cooking guide for final internal temp). Check by inserting thermometer halfway into thickest part of lamb. Pool sauce on serving platter. Transfer lamb to work surface; let stand 5-10 min. Slice and arrange on serving platter with sauce.
