…Let US do it for you!
Cool and quick and easy ideas for our new Golden Garlic Honey Dressing:
- halve a ripe avocado, fill each half with our dressing and top with cracked fresh pepper (a pinch of minced sweet onion would seal the deal, fresh lump crab meat would take it to nirvana), scoop out with a spoon
- toss with lefover rice (or boil a bag in the microwave…Uncle Ben’s now makes Minute Brown Rice) and frozen green peas for a quick and delicious cold salad. Add salted cashews and or steamed shrimp and it’s a summer dinner.
- Grill chicken and pull the pieces apart into large chunks, toss with our garlicy croutons, canned mandarin orange slices, raw red pepper strips, pile into iceberg lettuce cups and drizzle with our Golden Garlic dressing. TRUST ME…and Cat-scan Kim who gave me this idea! She and I had a “I got a better recipe” Throwdown in the Tasting Room today.
- MARINATE the same chicken or shrimp in the dressing beFORE you grill it
- I’ve poured the dressing into a coffee mug and pullled off a hunk of sourdough bread (our Pane di Altimura) and called it dinner
At the Farmers Market Saturday and at the Shop we are featuring our Robusto Sauce. Made with chunks of fresh Roma tomatoes, tons and tons of fresh basil, it’s such a bright and clean, yet savory tomato sauce.
Stacey and her kitchen crew have made tons this week.

- Heat it in the microwave, then add fresh shrimp, cover and let the shrimp “cook” in the hot sauce
- Add a tablespoon or two of low fat cream cheese to turn it into a pink, rosy, richer textured sauce. Pour a half cup over grilled salmon.
_Especially in hot summer months (like the August days we are having NOW), it’s absolutely delicious served room temperature over room temperature pasta, it is Italy on your plate!
Pick up a couple of extra wheatberry salads, for lunches and for picnic sides, and because so many of our customers open theirs in the shop and start eating it with their tasting spoons (and I bet some of those do not make it to the house!).
We have you covered for healthy, delicious summer meals. Join us at the shop or at the market and ask for more recipes and ideas.
CHOW!
