Pineapple Growing

Aloha Pineapple Trio

Aloha, our trip to Hawaii brought out the Pineapple in me! Love Pineapple and although not seasonal in North American, the Hawaiian pineapple in stores is definitely more juicy. Our pineapple trio takes a turn on traditional salsa and when cutting a pineapple the versatility for more dishes has inspired our P1 and P2.

3 Things to do with Flaxseed

The benefits of omega-3 fatty acids are quickly becoming the new health mantra and flax, in its many forms, is topping the list. The abundance of research suggests that incorporating flax into our diets is a smart choice to improve overall health. In the U.S. and Canada, much more research is underway to identify how flax may help with cancer prevention. For many of us, the confusion lies in how to use and store this delicate food properly. This recipe combination produces a delicious salad dressing, healthy spread for crackers or bread and a sweet treat; all very different ways to incorporate flax into your diet. See our mmm tips for how to store it properly.

Beet Hummus

Roasted Beet Trio

You can’t “Beet” this trio of recipes!

Beets are not only beautiful to look at, they are low in calories (contain only 45 kcal/100 g) and fat; but very rich in dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals. Our local farms are exploding with this delicious root veggie and with the best crops between June and October; they have a lengthy season to enjoy. By learning how to roast and clean the beets you are ready to try our Beet Hummus and save the greens for a quick side dish. And relax...the colour from beets always washes out!

Berry Good Salsa

Summer Strawberry Trio

Salsa has traditionally been made with tomatoes as the main ingredient. Our version of salsa uses locally grown Ontario strawberries instead of tomatoes, which takes this dish to a new place on our summer patio. By making this trio of recipes together you have the berries already prepared for 2 additional recipes, a blender ready to finish both Produce 1 and 2 recipes and many of the same ingredients already on the counter. A dressing for your lunch salad, a smoothie for your breakfast and even popsicles...what recipe could be more versatile and easy!
