Nutty Herbed Kasha

Kasha is a nutty, flavorful whole grain that is especially satisfying in the cooler months. We make a pot of kasha and then enjoy it through the week in various combinations: simple kasha and herbs, mixed with sauted veggies, served with stew. There are thousands of possibilities! Make a pot and see how you and your family like it.

Sweet and Sour Purple Cabbage

Purple cabbage is one of the most nutritious and best tasting vegatables around. It's robust, hearty flavor is chock full of health benefits.

The mixture of apples, honey, and Dijon mustard in this purple cabbage salad creates a perfect balance to satisfy your taste buds!

Southern Harvest Black Eyed Peas

Black eyed peas are more easily digested if soaked, cooked and drained in fresh water until very tender. This will substantially reduce the effect of starches that promote intestinal gas during digestion. Are you looking for a power food? The amount of protein in beans can be easily maximized if combined with nuts, seeds, and whole grains.

Smokey BBQ Chicken

The dry, bland and boring chicken breast somehow became a quintessential health food. Don't be afraid of the skin, the dark meat. Eat chicken in a way that makes your body feel good. The real concern is how healthy your chicken was, how humanely it was raised and the impact it had on the environment.
