During this morning’s Indy Style show, I used Vidalia Valley sauces & dressings to make simple and delicious party foods!
The Produce Mom Visits Vidalia
Last week my family & I had the distinct pleasure of visiting Stanley Farms in Vidalia, Georgia. Vidalia is home to the world’s most famous onion – the Vidalia Sweet Onion! There are many sweet onions on the market, but to be a Vidalia Onion it must be grown in the state of Georgia. Saddle [...]
Talking Turnips on Indy Style
It was my pleasure to be back on Indy Style this week. This time I brought a good friend of Indy Fruit with me, Mike Kocher of Peaper Brothers Farm. Peaper Brothers Produce has been farming turnips for over 100 years & as you may remember from a previous blog… I LOVE TURNIPS! DID YOU [...]
Fall – What’s in Season?
Fall is here! Football, Sweatshirts, Boots, Pumpkin Spice Lattes…. hands down – this is my favorite season! It’s a great time of year for produce, too. Check out this list of what my industry considers “in season” during the fall:
PARTY! Fruit & Veggie Trays
I recently did a news segment on serving fresh, healthy foods to young children at birthday parties. I made trays based off my favorite Sesame Street characters.
Caprese Pasta Salad
I have been spoiled the last few months – every Thursday has been spent in the test kitchen preparing for the Solstice menu change. I spend Thursdays with Chef Concetta.
Kale Chips
Kale is a notorious superfood & one of my favorite vegetables. Prepared correctly, Kale Chips are a satisfying alternative to potato chips & other unhealthy junk/snack food.
Produce Department Wish List? Simply Ask.
I am always fielding questions about where consumers can find the products that I recommend & promote on my page. And I always answer the same way… If you want a product that your grocery store/produce retailer does not have – simply ask them to start buying it for you. I can tell a grocery [...]
Produce Mom Southwest Salsa
This salsa made its debut about 5 months ago at a family dinner party to celebrate Joe’s Taekwondo Promotion. It was thrown together at last minute because I was missing ingredients to make my mom’s 7-layer dip. Now, it’s a staple at every family function. The best part… there’s no right or wrong way to [...]
Veggie Frittatas: A healthy hipster way to start the day!
What is a Frittata? Frittatas are classier than omelets & the hipster quiche. Honestly, they are all pretty much the same. Why do I prefer frittatas? I like the name. It just sounds fancy. And a frittata doesn’t remind me of the menu at a stuffy country club brunch. Again, they are all pretty much [...]
