Fresh Earth Farms Newsletter 9-6-2011
Lots of great news this week! First on the competition front. As you all know, I hate to brag about the farm but sometimes one has to toot their own horn to get any attention. And we all love attention. So what happened that is worth bragging about? Well, my mother won the First Annual […]
Tomatillo and Corn Salsa
I invented this recipe for Taco Salad Night (a special event in our house), using corn cut from a couple ears of raw corn. Frozen corn can be substituted. I love lime, so I use a tablespoon of fresh lime juice, however if you’d like a more subtle lime flavor then feel free to start […]
Fresh Earth Farms Newsletter 8-30-2011
Since we love our job we can’t stay away for three whole days in a row. So we are open and delivering on Labor Day! If you pick-up your produce on Mondays please plan to do so on Labor Day. As we were having lunch the other day we were reminiscing about last season and […]
Pasta Norma
I thank the Italians for this delicious dish featuring eggplant. I also thank Jamie Oliver for his delicious version, but I highly recommend including the optional Oven Roasted Cherry Tomatoes because they give the dish that *wow* factor that makes you want to eat the leftovers for breakfast, unable to wait all those hours until […]
Broccoli Gribiche
This is another fabulous recipe I recommend from one of the most frequently used cookbooks in our kitchen: Heidi Swanson’s Super Natural Every Day. I hope everyone goes out and buys her CSA friendly book! I really adore this recipe and it’s much easier than it appears. Hard boil the eggs once you put the […]
Summer Squash Soup
This is one of my favorite recipes. This is my modified version of Heidi Swanson’s recipe from Super Natural Every Day. I added more veggies and it’s the perfect dish that incorporates a lot of the vegetables that we get in our CSA boxes in July and August. You can also modify the recipe based […]
Shredded Kale Salad with Soy Sauce and Sesame
This is a quick and tasty side dish or snack. It’s also delicious the next day, just take it out of the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature. You could probably try using Chard or any other hearty leafy green. I found this recipe in Marie Simmons’ Fresh & Fast Vegetarian cookbook […]
White Beans and Cabbage
This is a recipe I modified from Heidi Swanson’s Super Natural Every Day cook book. I highly recommend making the Oven Roasted Cherry Tomatoes to add at the end. They add a lot of flavor to the dish. I recommend using bacon ends as they’re cheaper. I’ve used pinto beans, but really any bean you […]
Oven Roasted Cherry Tomatoes
These tomatoes are so good you can eat them like candy, but they’re also perfect for adding to dishes that could use an extra burst of bright flavor, such as White Beans and Cabbage or a pasta dish. I found this recipe in Heidi Swanson’s cookbook Super Natural Every Day (highly recommended). I sometimes double […]
