Sometimes nuts get a bad reputation because they are full of calories and fat. And although this is true, there is way more to their story that needs to be told!

For example, it is true that about 80% of the calories in nuts come from fat, however most of the fat found in nuts is monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat, or what we would consider “good” fat. The fact of the …

Dietitian Spotlight: Spinach Feta Rice Salad with Chicken Sausage

If you have a food allergy, eating out or going to dinner with family and friends can be a bit stressful. Did the person that prepared the food really make sure that the dish did not come in contact with something I’m allergic to? What if they didn’t even know? While these situations can be risky, a fool-proof solution would be to volunteer to bring your own dish. The salad below would be the perfect dish to bring as a Thanksgiving side or to your next dinner party with friends! This salad is loaded with plenty of nutrients that are both tasty and fulfilling. The whole grains from the rice add fiber which helps you feel full and energized. Mixing in veggies helps decrease the amount of carbs while providing a variety of textures and plenty of vitamins and minerals. It also makes the meal diabetic friendly - November is National Diabetes Month, after all. Lastly, the protein in the chicken sausage makes this a hearty meal suitable for any occasion. To calm your nerves, this recipe excludes eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, fish and wheat, which are 6 out of the 8 most common allergens found in food. And for a dairy free option, just omit the feta cheese! So, go ahead and try this out and head on to your next party worry-free.  Spinach Feta Rice Salad with Chicken Sausage   Ingredients: • 1 package Open Nature Italian Chicken Sausage (fully cooked) • 3/4 cup uncooked brown rice • 2 cups fresh spinach, sliced • 1 cup chopped cucumber • 1 medium red sweet pepper, chopped • Wishbone Garlic-Herb Vinaigrette • 1/4 cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese   Directions: 1. Cut sausages in half lengthwise. Thinly slice sausage halves crosswise. Cook rice according to package directions, omitting any added salt and adding the sausage during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Let rice cool about 15 minutes. 2. Stir in spinach, cucumber, and pepper. Drizzle with Garlic-Herb Vinaigrette. Toss to coat. 3. To serve, divide salad among four serving plates. Sprinkle with feta cheese.   Servings Per Recipe: 4 PER SERVING: 357 cal., 15 g total fat (4 g sat. fat), 70 mg chol., 596 mg sodium, 35 g carb. (3 g fiber, 6 g sugars), 20 g pro. Read More

A Pleasant Little Christmas Menu

Post and images by guest blogger, Rebecca White, of A Pleasant Little Kitchen.  Visit her full blog or find out more about her here.  Lets be honest. Christmas dinner for many families is kinda like Thanksgiving Repeat. Turkey (or ham), potatoes, gravy, casserole such-and-such... and then pies. Since this exact meal was cooked a few weeks prior, it's not surprising that it's missing the labor of love that goes into Thanksgiving. It moves down on the priority list when gifts and other Christmas festivities are being planned. Growing up we spent many a Christmas in east Tennessee. It is a memory I treasure. However, the moment that always stands out isn't Christmas day...it is the Christmas Eve ritual. A big breakfast in the morning, followed by no lunch (or light snacks for us little ones) and then a most memorable dinner at Aunt Linda's house. This was not a sit-down dining event. It was a mill-around-and-gather meal from a variety of the tastiest finger foods one could imagine. The rooms were filled with love, warmth and some of my most favorite people. We gathered in the living room when Uncle Curt began to play the guitar, dulcimer or harmonica. He lead us in merriment and we joined in carol singing. Mugs of Christmas wassail filled many hands. This Christmas Eve celebration filled my soul so much that it never left space for me to remember what we ate on Christmas day. When given the opportunity to host Christmas for the first time I stepped outside the box. It was not going to be Thanksgiving Repeat. I wanted to own the Christmas meal like my dear aunt who put her stamp on Christmas Eve. My first Christmas dinner involved a salt crusted tenderloin. There was no turkey or ham. Sides included a ginger and garlic infused creamed cabbage and mashed potatoes with caramelized onions. Mulled wine was passed out to open hands. The whole meal was a hit and was even praised for being a nice break from a turkey dinner. It was a success and I felt like I had a new tradition: to be non-traditional. Christmas dining is an opportunity to depart from Thanksgiving Repeat and to look for adventurous recipes. Make it fun. Make it your own. This year, I'm not hosting Christmas Day. Christmas Eve morning will belong to my small family of four. It will be non-traditional...starting with my new cow plates purchased at Market Street’s Dish Department and coffee cake muffins. This year, add one new item to your Christmas meal...or if you're daring, six. A Pleasant Little Christmas Menu Mulled Wine Arugula, Goat Cheese and Proscuitto Puff Pastry Roasted Beets with Goat Cheese and Cilantro Arugula Orange Manchego Salad Beer Braised Short Ribs Dark Chocolate Ice Cream Mulled Wine This drink is a cinch to make and takes little effort. Have fun with what you use to add flavor to the wine. Don't forget to check out Market Street's wonderful selection of wine and the benefits of joining its Wine and Beer Club (click here to read more). Prosciutto Puff Pastry Pick up some pre-made puff pastry from the freezer section at Market Street and then meander to the cheese and meat section. There's a wonderful selection of Italian cured meats to choose from if you are looking to substitute prosciutto. This recipe can be prepared half a day in advance and then baked before serving. Arugula Orange Manchego Salad By December, citrus is in full swing and this salad embraces this delicious season. It is the perfect light side dish to serve alongside the puff pastry, beets and short ribs. Roasted Beets This recipe will catch your diners off guard in a delicious way! Beets are not only tasty but they also offer a purple color that will make every plate pop. Give beets a chance. Beer Braised Short Ribs These bad boys cook low and slow, perfect for a holiday gathering. It can also be made two days in advance and gently reheated in the oven. This recipe is easily doubled.   Dark Chocolate Ice Cream Beautiful and decadent. Enjoy making this dessert with your family a few days before serving. Add a variety of toppings like peppermint, cookies and sprinkles to make this a fun sweet holiday treat!     Recipes:    Mulled Wine Author note: The beauty of mulled wine is that you can be creative with the flavors you add. Choose from star anise, cloves, cinnamon sticks, all spice to an arrangement of herbs and other spices.

Add the prosciutto in evenly spaced rows until there is no more prosciutto. 6) Top the prosciutto with arugula. 7) Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry. Cover the arugula. Try to seal the ends of the puff pastry, however if you can’t that’s okay. Remove excess dough. 8) Place in the fridge and let the dough chill for about 15 minutes. 9) Meanwhile, beat the egg in a small bowl. Brush the the top layer of the puff pastry dough with the egg wash. 10) Place in the oven and cook for 20-23 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffy. 11) Serve warm.   Arugula Orange Manchego Salad   Author note: To make this salad ahead of time, slice the toppings and place in an airtight container. Once ready to serve, add the toppings to the arugula and vinaigrette and toss.   For the Salad 1 7 ounce bag of arugula 1/4 cup fresh basil, chiffonade (and more for topping) 3/4 cup shallots, thinly sliced 3/4 cup manchego slices (used with a vegetable peeler) 1 orange, quartered and thinly sliced Basil-Orange Sherry Vinaigrette   Directions: 1) In a large bowl add the arugula. Then top with the basil, shallots, manchego and orange. Add half of the vinaigrette and toss. 2) Add the remaining vinaigrette and toss again. Serve immediately, topped with extra basil.   For the Vinaigrette 2 garlic cloves, rough chopped 2 shallots, rough chopped 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 2 large basil leaves, chopped 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar zest of 1 orange 5 tablespoons fresh orange juice 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil   Directions: 1) In a medium sized bowl, add the garlic, shallot and salt. Muddle until a rough paste is formed. 2) Combine the vinegar, orange zest, orange juice and stir well. 3) Slowly add the oil to the mixture in a steady stream,  whisking constantly. 4) Place in an airtight container.   Roasted Beets   Ingredients: 3 cups beets, peeled and diced into bite sized pieces 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt 2 cups radishes, sliced (save the leaves) juice of 1 lime 1/4 teaspoon red wine vinegar 1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves, plus more for topping 1/4 cup chopped radish leaves, plus more for topping 2 ounces goat cheese, plus more for topping   Directions: 1) Heat oven to 400 degrees. 2) In a medium-sized bowl, toss the beets with the olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. 3) Place on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes. 4) Toss the radishes in the same medium-sized bowl with 1/4 teaspoon of salt. 5) After the beets have cooked for 20 minutes, add the radishes to the baking sheet. Stir well to coat with olive oil and incorporate with the beets. 6) Roast for an additional 20 minutes, stirring after 10 minutes. 7) Remove from the oven, spritz the vegetables with lime juice and vinegar. Then add the cilantro and radish leaves. Stir. 8) Transfer the vegetables into the medium-sized bowl, add the goat cheese and stir to combine. Serve warm or at room temperature topped with additional leaves and goat cheese.   Beer Braised Short Ribs   4 1/2 pounds bone-in short ribs 3 teaspoons kosher salt 2 tablespoons canola oil 1/2 cup shallots, chopped 1/4 cup carrots, chopped 2 garlic cloves, crushed 2 tablespoons tomato paste 2 12-ounce bottles of light amber beer 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 2 bay leaves   Directions:  1) One hour before cooking, remove the meat from the fridge. 2) Heat the oven to 350 degrees. 3) With 2 1/2 teaspoons of salt, evenly season the short ribs on all sides. 4) In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil over high on the stove top. Once hot add the short ribs and brown for 3 minutes per side, for a total of 6 minutes, and set aside. This should be done in 2 batches. 5) Lower the heat to medium low and remove the Dutch oven from the heat. Add the shallots, carrots and garlic, and continue to cook off the heat for 2 minutes. 6) Add the Dutch oven back to the stove top, and then add the tomato paste and heat for 2 minutes. While cooking the tomato paste, smash it to make sure it’s all being cooked. 7) Add 1/2 cup of the beer to the paste and deglaze the pan. Once the brown bits are scraped from the pan, add the sugar, Dijon, Worcestershire, bay leaves and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix well. 8) Place the short ribs back into the Dutch oven. Pour the remaining contents of the 12-ounce beer plus an additional 1/2 cup of the second bottle, or more if needed, to submerge the short ribs just over halfway. 9) Bring the beer mixture to a boil, cover the Dutch oven, and place it in the oven. 10) Cook for 3 hours. Serve warm.   Dark Chocolate Ice Cream   Author note: Do not expect all the cocoa powder to dissolve. After heating up the cocoa powder with the cream mixture there will be clumpy bits on the bottom of the pan. Be sure to strain the cooked liquid before tempering the egg yolks. This keeps the clumpy bits from ending up in the ice cream.   Ingredients: 1 1/2 cup heavy cream 1 1/2 cup whole milk 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 6 egg yolks 3/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup dark chocolate cocoa powder   Directions: 1) 24 hours before making ice cream with an electric ice cream maker, place the freezer bowl in the freezer. Check your ice cream maker manual for specific instructions. 2) In a small sauce pan, heat the cream, milk, vanilla extract on medium-low for 5 minutes. Be sure to stir occasionally and not to let it boil. 3) After 5 minutes, add the cocoa powder to the milk mixture. Stir occasionally to keep the chocolate from sticking to the pan. Cook for 10 additional minutes. 4) Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, add the yolks and sugar. With a whisk, break the yolks and combine with the sugar. 5) Remove the liquid from the stovetop and strain into a bowl. Immediately begin to temper the yolk mixture with the warm mixture. To temper the yolks, whisk the eggs quickly while slowly adding the warm liquid (about 1/4 cup at a time) until all the liquid is combined. 6) Cover the bowl and place in the fridge. Let it chill for at least 2 hours, up to 24 hours. 7) Place the ice cream mixture into the ice cream maker and mix for 20 minutes, or until the ice cream is thickened to the desired consistency. 8) Serve immediately for soft serve, or place in a freezer safe container and freeze for a firmer texture.

Easter Ham Sauces

Post and images by guest blogger, Rebecca White, of A Pleasant Little Kitchen.  Visit her full blog or find out more about her here.  A happy and busy week is ahead—full of dying Easter eggs, preparing a celebratory menu and making family plans. Easter is near and I’m so excited. What’s Easter without a delicious, show-stopping center piece on the table? For my family it was always fried chicken, but for many it’s ham. The beauty of centering the Easter family meal around ham is that little cooking is involved (hooray!), unlike Thanksgiving or Christmas. Pick up a pre-smoked spiral cut ham at Market Street, and then, once it’s dinnertime gently heat it in the oven until the ham is warmed through. Serve with scrummy sides from Market Street’s Food-to-Go department and, voila, dinner is served. But what’s ham without its sauces, right? Instead of using the little packet of sauce that comes with the pre-baked ham, use homemade sauces instead. Lucky for you I have three sauce recipes to dress-up the prized Easter ham that will please an array of palates. Dijon Maple Herb Honey Brown Sugar Jalapeno Sweet and Spicy Korean BBQ From traditional to trending flavors, Market Street has got what you need to make an Easter ham that is full of flavor, easy to prep and make-ahead friendly. Easter lunch (or dinner) just got even more pleasant. Easter Ham with Three Sauces 1 cooked and spiraled ham, brought to room temperature or gently warmed in oven. Author note: The sauce recipes are easily doubled. Remove the ham from the oven and then cover with your favorite sauce or serve on the side. If you plan to serve all three sauces cut the ham into three portions and place on different platters.   Dijon Maple Herb Sauce This flavorful and aromatic sauce requires no heating, just stirring. 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard 1 teaspoon fresh thyme 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary chopped 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard 1/2 cup maple syrup Combine all ingredients into a bowl and stir to combine. Brush the sauce over the spiraled ham to coat. Honey Brown Sugar Jalapeno Sauce Sweet and spicy, this recipe requires only stirring. 1 cup honey 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup jarred jalapenos (or more), chopped 4 garlic cloves, chopped 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon jarred jalapeno juice Combine all ingredients into a bowl and stir to combine. Pour the sauce over the spiraled ham and brush to coat.     Sweet and Spicy Korean BBQ Sauce Grab Bibigo Korean BBQ sauce at Market Street to prep this spicy and addicting sauce. 1 cup Korean BBQ sauce 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon reduced sodium tamari sauce (or soy sauce) 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil 3 tablespoons brown sugar juice of 1 lime Pour ingredients into a saucepan and warm over low heat for 5-10 minutes. Stir occasionally. Pour the glaze over a spiral ham, brushing to coat. Read More

Braised Stuffed Onions

BLOG: Braised Onions Post and images by guest blogger, Rebecca White, of A Pleasant Little Kitchen.  Visit her full blog or find out more about her here.  Nature provides some of the best vessels to cook with and I want to encourage you to try it out. Pumpkins, peppers, tomatoes and onions—I find joy in stuffing them all with savory goodness and then cooking until well softened and full of flavor.   Recently I have began to hollow out and stuff onions with mushrooms, bacon and rice. Then, these orbs are braised in an herb-infused chicken stock. While this delicacy slowly cooks in the oven, the house warms and the scent wafts through the house.   It’s food bliss. Even now, I’m longing to make this recipe over and over again—especially for Thanksgiving.  Braised Stuff Onions is an aromatic, comforting and beautiful dish that needs to be part of your holiday spread. Besides the deliciousness of this recipe, there are a few other reasons to put it on your festive menu.   Make-Ahead: The onions can be stuffed with the filling up to six hours before cook time. Easy to Reheat: Once cooked, the onions can be stored in the fridge and then gently reheated in the oven to serve again. Market Street and KitchenAid: The onions fit beautifully in the KitchenAid 11-inch fry pan that Market Street is offering through its Rewards Program. With 180 e-stickers this fabulous pan can become a part of your kitchen!   Thanksgiving needs Braised Stuffed Onions. You need Braised Stuffed Onions. It will brighten up the holiday as unique and classic dish—one that will probably be made with each passing year. Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy, my friends.   Braised Stuffed Onions Author note: This recipe is an extension of Richard Olney’s Braised Onions from his cookbook, Simple French Food. I added rice and a few different herbs to the recipe. This recipe makes enough filling for at least 6 onions. 4-6 sweet onions          3 tablespoons unsalted butter  1 cup bacon, cut into 1/4 inch pieces (lardons)  1 teaspoon kosher salt  8-10 sprigs fresh thyme 8 ounces mushrooms, finely chopped 1/4 cup arborio rice 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs     1 1/2 cups low sodium chicken stock 2 bay leaves, torn in half           Cut a quarter off of the top of each onions (the bottom side should have the dried roots exposed). Peel the onions. Using a melon baller carefully scoop out the onion leaving a double wall of onion. Set aside. Finely chop two cups of the removed onion. Place 2 tablespoons of butter into a medium skillet along with the bacon, 2 cups of chopped onions, salt and 4 branches of thyme. Cook for 15 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the onion mixture and let melt. Add the mushrooms and rice to the mixture and cook for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally.  Remove from the heat and remove the thyme. Stir in the breadcrumbs and pour into a bowl.     Pour chicken stock into the skillet and add the 4 thyme springs and bay leaves. Place back onto the heat. With the onion mixture, stuff the onions 3/4 of the way full, lightly packing the filling with a spoon. Place the stuffed onions into the skillet. Bring the stock to a boil and cover. Place into the oven and let cook for 1 hour, basting the onions 3-4 times during the cooking process. Serve warm.            Read More

Dietitian Spotlight: Freekeh with Brussels Sprouts, Apple, Dried Cranberries, Honey & Pomegranate

Weight management is always a hot topic, but especially so during the holidays. Unfortunately, many people interpret dieting to mean they have to eat bland and boring foods and that they are going to be hungry all the time. The fact of the matter is that if you are constantly hungry and feeling deprived, attempting to lose or manage your weight will be miserable and unattainable.   Therefore, we think it is incredibly important that while trying to manage weight, you fill your body with nutrient dense foods that are full of flavor and nutrition, but just don’t overdo it on the calories. The best way to do that is to eat lots of vegetables, whole grains, protein and fruit! These foods are full of fiber so they keep you feeling satisfied for longer. Whole grains are a great way to add satisfying fiber, protein, and important nutrients to your diet. This recipe is a great way to try a new whole grain you may never have had before like quinoa, freekeh or farro. Each of these offer a unique composition of vitamins and minerals as well as flavor. Have fun experimenting with different whole grains this Thanksgiving and have confidence that you’re serving some good nutrition to your family. The addition of vegetables and fruit such as Brussels sprouts, apples and dried cranberries to this salad provide even more fiber, vitamins, and minerals, as well as the comforting feeling of fall on a plate! So whether you are trying to manage your weight, or if you just want an interesting new recipe for your Thanksgiving menu, this salad is sure to be a winner!   Freekeh with Brussels Sprouts, Apple, Dried Cranberries, Honey & Pomegranate Ingredients: ½ cup whole grain Freekeh, quinoa, wild rice or your favorite whole grain 1 pound Brussels sprouts, outer leaves peeled, stemmed and halved if large 4 tablespoons oil 1 medium onion, diced 1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and diced 2 tablespoons honey Juice of ½ medium lemon ¼-1/3 cup dried cranberries Arils of ½ large pomegranate ¼-1/3 cup parsley, finely chopped ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste Freshly ground black pepper   Directions:     On the stovetop in a small saucepan, place ½ cup of freekeh and 1 ½ cups of water or broth and bring to a boil. Stir, reduce heat to simmer. Cover and cook. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Drain any remaining water and set aside.     Pre-heat the oven to 400F. Toss 2 tablespoons of oil and 1/8 teaspoon salt with the Brussels Sprouts, spread on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and roast for 20 minutes while turning once with a spatula at the 15-minute mark. If you want them more charred, roast for 5-10 minutes longer with another turning in between. Set aside.     On low/medium heat add 2 tablespoons of oil to a large sauté pan. Add the onions and sauté for a few minutes until the onions are soft and translucent. Do not caramelize onions. Add the diced apple and lemon juice to the onions and continue cooking a few minutes longer until the apples are soft but not mushy. Add the honey, 1/8 teaspoon of salt and some freshly ground black pepper and continue sautéing for a couple of minutes.     Add the freekeh and Brussels sprouts to the pan and stir through. Take off the heat and add the dried cranberries, pomegranate seeds and parsley. Mix and add salt and pepper if needed to taste. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Cinnamon Marshmallow Pumpkin Bake

This month is....Sepumpkin It's one of the loveliest months. It's when summer meets fall and pumpkin frenzy occurs. This pumpkin state of mind is engrained in our culture so much that when someone says fall we immediately begin to look for the pumpkins at Market Street--- willing our beloved store to display their beautiful pumpkin varieties for all to see. We begin to scan the aisles for all things pumpkin related: cookies! decorations! bread! mugs! soups! signs! That's why September is basically Sepumpkin for many of us. As someone who has a pumpkin state of mind, I’m grateful for Market Street because it gets the pumpkin frenzy. From the pumpkins outside waiting to greet you when you walk in, to the wonderful displays of pumpkin goods throughout the store, it is evident that Market Street also loves this time of the year. For the home cook there are many options to dive into the world of pumpkin frenzy. From breads to soups to cookies... the ways to cook a pumpkin are endless these days. Pumpkin pie has always been a favorite of mine. Growing up I anticipated my mom’s thanksgiving pumpkin pie with a dollop of cool whip. It was a once-a-year treat that I looked forward to but it was at the end of the pumpkin season, which, to me is sad. This year, I wanted to amp up the pumpkin pie game, give it a twist and serve it at the beginning of the season. No more waiting until Thanksgiving, no more plain pie crust, no more cool whip…instead there will be gingersnaps and marshmallows and cinnamon sugar. It won’t be a pie, but a bake and it will be at the beginning of the season. My friends I give you the Cinnamon Marshmallow Pumpkin Bake to usher in your pumpkin state of mind and to celebrate all things fall.   Cinnamon Marshmallow Pumpkin Bake Author note: When marshmallows bake, they expand and puff up.   Ingredients: 15 ounce can pumpkin - Shop Item Now 1/2 cup brown sugar - Shop Item Now pinch of ground nutmeg - Shop Item Now pinch of kosher salt - Shop Item Now 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves - Shop Item Now 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon - Shop Item Now 2 eggs - Shop Item Now 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract - Shop Item Now 1 cup heavy cream - Shop Item Now zest of 1 orange - Shop Item Now ginger snap pie crust (see recipe below) 5 teaspoons cinnamon sugar (see recipe below) 10 ounce bag of marshmallows (medium-sized) - Shop Item Now   Directions: 1) Set the oven to 425 degrees. 2) In a large bowl, cream the pumpkin, brown sugar, nutmeg, salt, cloves and cinnamon with an electric mixer. 3) Continue to mix and add the eggs one at a time. 4) Next, add the vanilla extract, half and half and orange zest.

Dietitian Spotlight: Pecan Pie Energy Bites

Sometimes nuts get a bad reputation because they are full of calories and fat. And although this is true, there is way more to their story that needs to be told! For example, it is true that about 80% of the calories in nuts come from fat, however most of the fat found in nuts is monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat, or what we would consider “good” fat. The fact of the matter is that all of us need fat in our diets! We believe that you should get fat from good sources, and if you are anything like us, you like to get the most bang for your buck! That’s why nuts are such a great food to incorporate into your diet, because not only are they full of good fats, but also protein, vitamins and minerals as well! Some of the vitamins and minerals that are found in nuts include Vitamin E, Magnesium, Copper and Folic Acid. All of these nutrients play a part in heart health. In fact, one research study found that consuming greater than 4 servings of nuts per week lowered the risk of heart attacks by 51% and decreased the risk of heart disease by 48% compared to consuming less than 1 serving of nuts per week (Adventist Health Study). However, a healthier heart is not the only benefit of consuming nuts; people with diabetes and those working on weight management may also reap the benefits of adding nuts to their diet. Since November is white/brown month, purchasing pecans, almonds and other nuts are a great way to color your basket white and brown! Eating these Pecan Pie Energy Bites will give you the taste of fall, without all of the guilt. These energy bites made with pecans and flavored with cinnamon have that familiar flavor of Thanksgiving dessert! And because they are full of protein and “good” fats, they will give you sustained energy to get you through these busy holiday months!   Pecan Pie Energy Bites:   Ingredients 1 1/2  cups pecans 1/2 cups almond, cashews, or walnuts 10-11 medjool dates, pitted 2 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/8 tsp sea salt Pecan halves for garnish (optional) Instructions In a food processor, process pecans and almonds until a fine, grain like consistency. Add dates, cinnamon, vanilla and sea salt and process until a dough begins to form. Roll the mixture into balls and then press a pecan on top of each. Chill for about 10 minutes or so to set. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week. Adapted from bewholebeyou.com Read More

Linguine with Shrimp Arugula Mascarpone Cream Sauce

Post and images by guest blogger, Rebecca White, of A Pleasant Little Kitchen.  Visit her full blog or find out more about her here.  Every meal starts with an empty plate. It’s up to us to fill it with something wanted. Most of the time this meal changes—three times a day. Of course there are favorites, easy repeats or leftovers that make it into the meal rotation and we are content. However it’s undeniable that the empty plate beckons…daily. I’m the type of person that is moved to fill this beckoning with special ingredients, new recipes and familiarity. That’s why I shop at Market Street. Not only can I acquire those unique elements I crave for meals but I can also find the familiar. It feels like home. Linguine with Shrimp, Arugula and Mascarpone Cream Sauce has become one of my favorite meals. It combines some of my favorite ingredients (cheese and cream) with a bit of specialty elements (more cheese and spicy greens) and finally a familiar element (shrimp and pasta). Be it weeknight or weekend, for your family or for a friend’s family--- this meal is packed full of flavor, takes minimal time to cook and creates enough to feed a family of five (with plenty of leftovers). What makes it flavorful? • garlic infused butter • mascarpone and parmesan cheese • arugula • lemon juice • red pepper flakes (optional element of heat) Why does it take little time to cook? • two pans are required (for pasta and sauce) • only one ingredient to chop—garlic! • The protein, shrimp, takes minimal time to cook. • the pasta and sauce cook simultaneously It can feed a family of five? • 1 pound of pasta + 2 pounds of shrimp + mascarpone, parmesan and 4 cups of arugula = 3+ pounds of carby, flavorful, protein-filled deliciousness I hope I have convinced you to incorporate this meal into your three-times-a-day empty plate pattern. It’s outstanding. What are you waiting for? Pop on over to your second home, Market Street, and stock up on the ingredients to make this flavorful, simple and comforting meal of pasta, cheese and shrimp. Linguine with Shrimp, Arugula and Mascarpone Sauce Yields: 6 servings    Ingredients 1 pound linguine 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 5 cloves garlic, chopped 1/2 cup water 3/4 cup heavy cream 8 ounces mascarpone 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) 2 teaspoons kosher salt 2 pounds shrimp zest of 1 lemon juice of 1 lemon 1 cup parmesan, freshly grated 3 cups arugula    Directions 1. Melt the butter in a sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. After 2 minutes, add the salt, cream and mascarpone. Stir until the cheese is melted and combined with the cream. 2. Increase the heat to medium and bring to a simmer. Reduce to medium-low and let the sauce simmer for 15 minutes, uncovered. 3. Add the shrimp, lemon juice and lemon zest to the sauce. Stir well to combine. Continue to simmer until the shrimp is cooked all the way through, about 6 minutes. Stir occasionally. 4. Once the shrimp is cooked add the parmesan and arugula. Stir well to combine. 5. Meanwhile bring a large pot of water to boil and cook the linguine. Strain the pasta and place back into the pan onto the stovetop over medium-low heat. 6. Pour the shrimp over the pasta. Toss to incorporate. Let the pasta and sauce warm through for five minutes. Serve warm.     Read More
