El Charro Rice and Tomato
<p>This dish as described can be served as a side, or as a main dish with potato, meat, poultry or shrimp. (Important- Cook the rice in a dry pan until it pops much like popcorn. This gives it a softer texture and makes it better at absorbing flavors).</p>

Emerald Kale Salad
<p>This is the kale recipes to beat all. It is in the deli case at Mississippi Market (and Whole Foods, etc.) and I always “impulse” buy it when I am shopping on my way home from work. Now if one has to have a weakness such that one impulse-buys, well, this is a good one to have. Simple, quick and perfect with a few slabs of ginger-baked tofu alongside. Hmm, maybe I just talked myself into dinner again. Funny how that happen each week!</p>

English Pea and Radish Salad
<p>True Southerners use the name “English peas” to describe the bright green peas that are the only ones known to most of the rest of the country. (That’s because we are lucky enough to also have any number of other yummy summer-grown peas, from crowder peas to pink-eye purple-hulled peas, just to name a few.) Still, English peas make a wonderful spring dish with other fresh seasonal ingredients…This simple recipe takes about 10 minutes to fix, and is ready to serve in less than half an hour. It is closely based on a recipe from a delightful new cookbook written by an Athens, GA native who is now a food editor for Southern Living magazine. Take a moment and check it out!</p>

Extra Veggie Marinara
<p>If you happen to be a canner this is a great marinara to put by. I have to warn that it is slightly time intensive, maybe 3 hours + canning and processing. On the other hand, if you want a way to get kids, or adults, to eat their veggies and never know it this is a great recipe. If you want to use your surplus of random veggies from the garden like tomatillos, eggplant, or squash then this is an adaptable recipe for you. If you are looking for a complex, flavorful dish then look no more. I hope you will find this garden fresh recipe as worth while as I do. Great over pasta for a vegetarian dish or serve this with my Italian Meatballs on a delicious meatball sub!</p>

Falafel
<p>The uncooked, just soaked/sprouted, chickpeas/garbage beans surprised me. But this recipe is fabulous. And highly adaptable with tweaks to the spices and vegetables added. Yes, it is fried in oil, but we’ll let that slide (no pun intended!) As MP put it to me, “This is stupid good.” We whole-heartedly agree.</p>

Fall Squash & Sausage Soup
<p>You will need:</p>
<p>1 medium butternut, Hubbard or other fall squash, peeled, seeded and cut into large dice<br />
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus 1 teaspoon<br />
1 tablespoon Purity butter<br />
2 large onions, cut into large dice<br />
6 cloves garlic<br />
1 cup Tennessee dry red wine<br />
8 cups chicken stock<br />

1 tablespoon Big S Farms hot sauce<br />
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme<br />

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste<br />

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place squash on a roasting pan. Toss to coat with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and bake until tender and slightly caramelized (25-30 minutes).

Add stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 15 minutes.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, heat remaining teaspoon of olive oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook until it is browned. Drain fat. Strain squash mixture through a fine sieve. Puree solids and return puree to stockpot. Stir in remaining ingredients and heat thoroughly. Ladle into individual soup bowls and garnish with homemade croutons. Yield: 6-8 servings.</p>
<p>Serve with a side salad dressed with Johnny’s Gourmet Foods salad dressing and Luzianne iced tea. For dessert, serve Mrs. Sullivan’s miniature pecan pies inverted on the plate and topped with Purity whipped cream.</p>
