A Wedge Pizzagreement
Read more... →When we heard the buzz about the Wedge & Linden Hills crafting some frozen, organic pizza dough, we were excited. But, when we found out the Wedge and Linden Hills are crafting a ready-to-bake, organic pizza crust, I have to admit, I was out of my chair with car keys in hand and my snow boots on. I drove into the big city to the Wedge Co-op to get my pizza on!! I am in my sixties and still working full time, so the idea of the ready-to-bake crust is right up my alley! Simple, healthy convenience is pretty important in our household....

Pulses + Sunflower Seeds = Complete Protein
Read more... →During the cold & snowy Midwinter months, it is hard to just run to the grocery store, so I do a lot of dipping into what I call our staples or our "Pantry Foods" that we always have on hand: dried beans, pulses ( e.g. lentils, chickpeas, and beans ), legumes, bulgur, farro, quinoa, rice, nuts, and dried fruits. These provide ingredients for a cozy, warm winter soup or stew, but these same fixings also make wonderful ingredients for delicious, crunchy, and hearty Winter Pantry Salads. These salads are full of the right combos of grains, legumes, and nuts to give you...

Autumn Salads...
Read more... →As the leaves start to turn orange, yellow, and red, Autumn presents a hearty bounty. Fresh fennel, pears, parsnips, Brussel sprouts, figs, and squash come into their own during these cooler months and will make salads bright and fresh, warm and hearty, no matter if your salad is a main dish or an accompaniment. The addition of raw or roasted nuts, seeds, little jewel-toned bites of mixed dried fruit, and spicy rice crackers bring that extra crunch & color to these local, leafy recipes. Enjoy!

Honoring Labor Day
Read more... →As a nation, we celebrate Labor Day as a way of honoring & commemorating the various American labor associations that fought for and then sought a peaceful way to protest businesses to install fairer and safer working conditions for American laborers. Of course, this is definitely a day in history worth commemorating and paying homage to, but for many of us, the beginning of September also brings with it a bittersweet date marking multiple beginnings and endings. Labor Day Weekend is the last long weekend of Summer. It is the last day of our Minnesota State Fair, the last weekend to pack and send...

It's Stone Fruit Season
Read more... →Lots of recipes below -- keep scrolling down to find a favorite..or two...or three :) Nectarines, cherries, mangoes, apricots, peaches, and plums all fall under the name “stone fruits.” That’s because they contain large, hard seeds (relative to the size of their fruit). Feel free to call them by whatever name you please. I like to call them delicious, nutritious, and beautifully versatile! Right now is the best time to enjoy stone fruits because they are at their peak and available here in the Midwest at their best through September. Stone fruits can be grilled, sautéed, poached, baked, broiled, or...
