Dietitian Spotlight: Veggie Noodle with Pistachio Red Pepper Sauce

Veggie noodles are the pasta lover’s healthy alternative. Some people could eat pasta every day, and now you definitely can with healthier benefits. You can easily transform all sorts of vegetables into noodles. Some of the most popular are zucchini, carrot and squash noodles; the list could go on and on though. Using veggie noodles adds more vitamins, minerals, fiber and flavor into your diet that are lacking in regular pasta noodles. Not to mention, they’re a great gluten-free option while minimizing your carbohydrate intake. You’re probably wondering how in the world you can make a noodle out of a vegetable. One way would be to use a spiralizer, but if you don’t have one, we carry already prepared veggie noodles to help make this recipe easier and quicker. Another great component of this recipe is the pistachios. Pistachios actually have great nutritional value and are an extremely versatile product.

They will provide your body with good fats and several antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and fiber. They are, however, high in calories so be aware of portion sizes. While they do provide several nutritional benefits, they’re still a nut and may cause an allergic reaction for those that are allergic so be mindful when consuming them.   Veggie Noodle with Pistachio Red Pepper Sauce   Ingredients: • 1/2 cup pistachios • 2 tbsp olive oil • 1 cup onion, diced • 4 garlic cloves • 1, 16 ounce jar roasted red pepeprs • 1 cup mushrooms • 2/3 cup low sodium chicken broth • 1/2 cup feta cheese • 1 pound veggie noodle • salt and pepper • 1 tsp dried oregano • 1/2 tsp dried basil   Directions: 1.

Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Process ingredients until combined and smooth. 3. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and reserve up to 1/2 cup of pasta water. Toss pasta with red pepper sauce, adding pasta water to thin sauce to desired consistency. 4. Serve and garnish with remaining feta cheese and crushed Wonderful Pistachios. Read More

Pummelo Gluten-Free Crisp

Coffee Cake Muffins

Post and images by guest blogger, Rebecca White, of A Pleasant Little Kitchen.  Visit her full blog or find out more about her here.  My children get a lot more excited when I'm baking then when I'm cooking. Even in their young years they know baking = treats, while cooking = dinner. When I cook, I don't get as many assistants. When I bake, both little bodies want to help. I like my kitchen buzzing with conversation and activity-- it's what makes the space pleasant. Christmas. It brings out the sentimental, ritual and tradition seeking part of my inner being. I want the days to be filled with expectation and a sense of coming joy. As a young family, we already have a few holiday rituals in place-- however there is still a slot to fill in the kitchen tradition department. We are missing the "baking together" holiday tradition. This fall I started to brainstorm what exactly this goodie could be. It needed to have cinnamon, cloves and brown sugar. Cleanup needed to be fairly easy. Most importantly, the kids needed to be a part of the process. I landed on a baked good that could not only could be eaten for breakfast, but could also be considered a treat (did I mention freezer friendly too?). It's my intention that it will become a recipe my children anticipate yearly, and hopefully pass on to their little assistants. Coffee Cake Muffins. Fluffy, buttery, cinnamon-y, the kind of baked goods that make people smile and not secretly wish they never received it (you know what I'm talking about). Luckily, I had almost everything needed to bake in my pantry from weekly (okay, bi-weekly...it's just so much fun!) trips to Market Street. Pasture raised eggs. Normally I go for Vital Farms, but have noticed another brand of these beautiful eggs available, Handsome Brook Farm. Unsalted butter. There is always a nice selection of butter. Challenge Butter is appealing because it is not treated with rBST and the price point is attractive. And the other pantry basics of sour cream, sugar, flour and spices. The only thing missing was cupcake liners. After school I took the little ones to the bakery aisle at Market Street and had them pick out the liners they felt were the most “Christmas-y.” I had to agree to pink and blue, even though I begged for red. We were now ready for the test kitchen. Coincidently, a recipe test for the coffee cake muffins occurred the night we were decorating the Christmas tree. The house was a buzz. Football was playing and Randy was retrieving Christmas treasures from the attic. Katherine and Eli couldn't decide what was more entertaining-- going through boxes of Christmas decorations or helping with the muffins. They kept ping ponging their way between the kitchen and living room. It didn't matter. The fact that both activities got them excited and they were participating in both was all I needed. This is how traditions start. Serendipitous moments you want to repeat. The muffins came out of the oven. My audience cheered. I smiled. To keep little paws from their dessert, we hopped into the car for Tex-Mex. Once back home we put on Christmas pajamas, decorated the tree and nibbled on coffee cake muffins. I can't wait to do it all over again, next year. And the next. And the next.    Coffee Cake Muffins Author note: My daughter suggested adding icing to this muffin. I agree with her. These muffins are freezer friendly.   for the batter Ingredients 1 1/2 sticks room temperature unsalted butter 1 1/2 cups sugar 2 cups flour 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon cinnamon 2 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 3 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/2 cup sour cream brown cinnamon streusel (recipe below)   Instructions 1) Heat the oven to 350 degrees. 2) In a bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and baking powder. Add the salt. 3) With a stand mixer (or an electric mixer) cream the butter and sugar for 3 minutes. 4) Add the eggs one at a time while continuing to mix. 5) Slowly mix in the flour mixture in small batches to the creamed butter and eggs. 6) Once the flour is well incorporated add the vanilla extract and sour cream. 7) Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Place a small scoop in each liner and then add a sprinkle of streusel. 8) Add another small dollop of batter on top of the streusel. Top again with streusel. Continue this process until batter is gone. Be sure not to fill the cupcake liners full of batter. Aim to fill them a little less then 3/4 full. 9) Place in oven and bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the muffins are cooked through. 10) Let cool and serve.   for the streusel Ingredients 1/2 stick unsalted butter (cold), cubed 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt   Instructions 1) In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients for the streusel. Mix well by hand. Place in the fridge until ready to use. Read More

Overnight Lemon Garlic Potato Salad

  The end of April is fast approaching and we can’t conclude our white and brown month without talking about the ever popular starchy vegetable - the potato. Did you know that potatoes are the number one vegetable in the American diet? According to the USDA, the average American eats around 48 pounds of potatoes per year, and only half of that is fresh potatoes. To take it one step further, the majority of potatoes are eaten in the form of deep-fried french fries. These statistics are shocking and have greatly contributed to potatoes developing a bad reputation, especially for people controlling their blood glucose levels.    The dietitians have decided it is time to debunk some of the myths associated with potatoes and discuss how they can actually be included in most healthy diets, even a gluten-free diet! Potatoes are naturally gluten-free and provide important vitamins and minerals required for the body to function properly. Sometimes foods like potato salad can be off limits for people with Celiac Disease because of hidden gluten in products or cross contamination during the manufacturing or preparation process. This new take on potato salad is naturally gluten-free and is a great option for people with Celiac Disease. The swap of dijon mustard for mayo provides great low-calorie flavor as well, perfect for those who are watching their waistline!     We hope this recipe is a breath of fresh-air for our guests, especially with picnic season quickly approaching. You can take this salad to your next family barbecue, party, or simply have it for dinner this weekend! The great thing about this recipe is that you can do preparation the day before. Plus, if you cook potatoes, store them in the refrigerator for 24 hours, and then simply reheat them, the glycemic index is lowered from high to low or moderate. This is a great technique for people watching carbs or blood sugar levels. You can also maximize the nutrients you receive from garlic by chopping, dicing, mincing, or crushing garlic and letting it sit for 10-15 minutes prior to cooking with it. This allows you to retain ALL the nutrients available! In addition to the fact that it's delicious, these wonderful health benefits are extra reasons why you should give this recipe a try. Potatoes might have developed a bad reputation in the nutrition world, but we hope we've changed your outlook a little bit. You can still enjoy potatoes in a well-balanced diet - they are a great way to Color Your Basket white and brown this month!    Overnight Lemon-Garlic Potato Salad Ingredients: 1 1/2 pounds new potatoes 1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes 2/3 cup olive oil 2 teaspoons lemon zest 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 1/2 cup chopped lightly salted, roasted pecans 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil   Directions 1) Cut into 1/4-inch-thick cubes. Cook potatoes in boiling water to cover 30 minutes or until tender; drain and cool 20 minutes. TIP: to lower glycemic load, let the cooked potatoes sit overnight in your refrigerator.  2) Meanwhile, whisk together olive oil and next 6 ingredients; let stand 30 minutes.  3) Toss the potatoes with olive oil mixture; sprinkle with pecans and basil.     Recipe from SouthernLiving.com   Read More

Dietitian Spotlight: Ricotta Flatbread

Spare the headache of waiting for a table or braving the crowded restaurants - whether it's for girls night or date night, this recipe for Ricotta Flatbread with Pomegranate Salsa is a delicious treat. It doesn’t require a ton of ingredients or lengthy prep time.  Plus, it's packed with many healthy benefits. The base of this dish is Flatout flatbread which can be found in the deli section at your local Market Street store.  Using a flatbread is a good source of complex carbohydrates. This means it is more likely to keep you feeling full and satisfied long after your dinner is over. Flatbread is also higher in fiber.  Choosing foods high in fiber will help to keep you regular and can maintain blood sugar levels.  It is recommended that men should consume at least 35 grams of fiber and women should consume more than 25 grams. On top of the flatbread sits the reduced-fat ricotta cheese. We're big cheese fans, so we were excited to be able to incorporate a lower fat cheese option that is also high in protein.  This protein combined with a complex carbohydrate (flatbread) will further keep your after-dinner hunger at bay.  Ricotta also has many essential nutrients, such as calcium, vitamin A and vitamin B-12. Add the pomegranate salsa and it's a perfect pairing  Pomegranates give a sweet flavor to balance the savory ricotta cheese and flatbread, while containing additional health benefits.  They are packed with antioxidants that can help to prevent chronic diseases (i.e. diabetes, heart disease, cancer). The benefits do not stop there.  They have high amounts of vitamin C, vitamin K, potassium and provide another great source of fiber.  By themselves, the sweet flavor can also feel like you’re indulging in a dessert without the excess calories, fat and sugar. Have a little fun and spend some quality time together making this recipe! The combination of ingredients will make your taste buds happy, while you reap the health benefits.    Ricotta Flatbread with Pomegranate Salsa Ingredients         ½ cup pomegranate seeds (fresh or frozen)         ½ cup dried, sweetened cranberries; roughly chopped         1 shallot; finely chopped         1 tablespoon olive oil         1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar         1 tablespoon honey         2 tablespoons chopped, fresh parsley         1 tablespoon fresh orange zest strips         Pinch salt         1 Flatout flatbread         8 ounces reduced fat ricotta cheese         ½ cup baby arugula Directions      Place baking stone or sheet pan in oven and heat to 450°F.  Combine pomegranate seeds, cranberries, shallot, oil, vinegar, honey, parsley, orange zest, and salt in a bowl.      Place flatbread on baking stone or pan.  Toast until warm and edges are lightly toasted- 5 to 10 minutes.      Spoon ricotta over warm flatbread and spread lightly.  Arrange arugula over ricotta.      Cut into serving pieces.  Top each slice with pomegranate salsa.    This blog was written by Zelle Morefield - a Texas Tech dietetic intern working with us.  She is also completing her Master's degree in Clinical Nutrition through Texas Tech.

Breakfast Quesadillas

Post and images by guest blogger, Rebecca White, of A Pleasant Little Kitchen.  Visit her full blog or find out more about her here.  We are a quesadilla family, hopefully you are too. Didn’t finish all the steak last night? Roasted cauliflower still not eaten? Leftover chicken? Only cheese and tortillas in the fridge? Not a problem. Make quesadillas. Grab some homemade flour tortillas at Market Street, add some Organics shredded cheese (Mexican blend is my favorite) and if there’s a bit of time, sauté a Texas sweet onion or two. What about eggs? Glad you asked. Eggs are a perfect addition to the quesadilla formula. Combine scrambled goodness with crispy bacon, cheese and maybe some green chiles or avocado slices. Serve warm topped with cilantro and sides of sour cream and salsa. Breakfast quesadillas have become a regular in A Pleasant Little Kitchen because they are a tasty, satisfying meal that no one complains about. Plus, quesadilla fillings and toppings can be individualized to each eater’s taste, which helps us out. My family tends to be very opinionated about their food... who would have thought? Recently when shopping for breakfast quesadilla night at Market Street, I looked down into the cart and sighed. The Handsome Brook Farms Pastured Raised Eggs, Pederson’s bacon and tortillas looked lonely. They needed company. So in went the fresh tomato salsa, verde cilantro salsa and creamy jalapeno dip from the chilled prepared case (next to the salad bar). That’s better. What a good decision. Adding this kind of topping variety made the meal even better. Everyone had fun selecting their toppings and it made quesadilla night even more enjoyable. The quesadillas became even more individualized. A few other reasons I love breakfast quesadillas: It works for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. The whole family can get involved with the cooking process (like cracking and scrambling the eggs, and building the quesadillas). Scrambled eggs and bacon can be cooked ahead of time for a quick dinner prep. Leftover quesadillas make great packed lunches for littles the next day. Add breakfast for dinner to your monthly meal rotation, and make sure it’s in the form of a quesadilla. Breakfast Quesadillas Servings vary   Author note: This is a basic recipe without measurements to allow you to make as many or few quesadillas as needed. I typically account 2 eggs and 2 slices of bacon per person for this recipe. If you want to get fancy with the quesadilla filling, consider adding slices of avocado or sautéed bell peppers and onions.   Ingredients scrambled eggs cooked bacon, rough chopped flour tortillas Mexican style shredded cheese Market Street’s chilled salsa (available in the food-to-go department), optional topping sour cream, optional topping   Directions 1. Heat a medium sized skilled over medium heat. 2. Place one tortilla into the skillet. Add a layer of cheese, then a layer of scrambled eggs, then a layer of chopped bacon. Top with a final layer of shredded cheese. 3. Place a second tortilla on top of the egg and cheese layers. Cook until the bottom layer tortilla is golden brown. With a spatula, carefully flip the quesadilla. Cook the remaining side until golden brown. 4. Put the quesadilla onto a cutting board and let cool for 3-4 minutes, then quarter. Serve warm with a side of salsa and sour cream. 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.

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.

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

Dietitian Spotlight: Hamburger Minestrone Soup

There is nothing like a warm cup of soup on a chilly night. But, sometimes the canned version just doesn’t cut it. Besides, canned soups are often overloaded with salt, so why not make your own? This Hamburger Minestrone Soup is full of protein from the meat and beans, as well as lots of fiber from the vegetables, beans and whole grain pasta! And since December is Color Your Basket Rainbow month, this soup made with many different vegetables and beans is sure to color your basket! Fiber is a popular topic these days and for good reason! It is a type of carbohydrate found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and beans. However, unlike other forms of carbohydrates that are broken down into sugar molecules, fiber passes through the body unchanged. Because of this, fiber helps to promote regularity and prevent constipation, as well as regulate how the body uses sugars. High intake of dietary fiber has been linked to a lower risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, diverticular disease, breast cancer and constipation! Unfortunately, Americans typically don’t consume the recommended amount of fiber needed to reap the benefits that fiber can provide. The bottom-line is that we could all stand to consume more foods that contain fiber, as these foods also contain many other nutrients that promote health and well-being! This soup is a great place to start, and all the flavors will leave you so satisfied that you will forget how great it is for you!       Hamburger Minestrone Soup Prep time 5 mins Cook time 25 mins Total time 30 mins Serves: 6 servings   Ingredients     1 cup uncooked small elbow macaroni (or other small shell pasta)    1 pound 93% lean ground beef    1 cup chopped yellow onion    1 (32-ounce) carton beef broth, low sodium    1 (16-ounce) Signature Kitchen frozen mixed vegetables    1 (16-ounce) Signature Kitchen canned dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed    1 (14.5-ounce) Signature Kitchen can diced tomatoes, undrained    1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste    2-1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning    1 bay leaf    Salt and pepper, to taste    Instructions 1) Cook pasta according to package directions.

Crumble beef while cooking with a wooden spoon or spatula. Drain off grease in a colander and return to dutch oven or saucepan. 2) Add remaining ingredients and stir well to combine. Bring to a boil.

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.
