Our Meat Department has a case full of chops and this recipe for Grilled Lemon Rosemary Pork Chops is delicious!
Strawberries are one of the tell-tale signs of early summer. They're plentiful at the farmers market, and they're plentiful in the Produce Department. If you haven't tasted the flavor of strawberry with reduced balsamic vinegar, prepare for a party for your taste buds. This dish is delicious served over vanilla ice cream or yogurt.
Whether or not you celebrate the Jewish holiday, Passover, we dare you to only eat one of these sweet and salty treats!
It is officially spring- regardless of the fact that's felt like spring since January. But now that the calendar says so, we can roll out some new spring recipes. This recipe for Orange Maple Carrots is simple, delicious, and beautiful. Using carrots some of the tops still on makes for a great presentation. These would be a lovely addition to an Easter or Passover meal in the coming weeks.
The smell of clean, for many, is the smell of harmful chemical cleansers. I told this to my uncle once, said that a lot of people don’t think something is clean if it doesn’t smell all chemical-ly like, and he agreed saying, “I’m one of those people.” Well, I’m not. Many years ago I discovered essential oils and homemade cleansers, and in the process I learned that fragrances (found in perfumes, soaps, lotions, housecleaning supplies—the list goes on) are a frequent source of allergens that can cause headaches, skin sensitivities, asthma type reactions, and can drastically affect chemically intolerant people. Fortunately, one doesn’t need to forego a nice-smelling house to get it clean (though vinegar is a great natural (chemical) cleaner, it does not smell pretty). As an FYI, essential oils, like the Co-op’s new organic Veriditas Botanicals, should be kept in dark, glass jars to maintain their quality and effectiveness.
