Some Sponsorships
Cherry Capital Foods announces some local foodie sponsorships: Taste the Local Difference and Green Cuisine
Greens, Beets, Garlic and Peas
A beautiful day for pick-up at Birch Point Farm. The smell of green garlic filled the car on the ride home, prompting me to use it for dinner tonight. The farm newsletter provided just the right recipe: saute the green garlic in olive oil, add baby beets and saute a few minutes, then add the beet greens and cook down, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes. Mix with toasted walnuts, balsamic vinegar, sea salt and pepper and a sprinkling of goat cheese. I'd forgotten how good beets are fresh from the farm!
