Polenta with Roasted Vegetables
Farmer’s Markets are brimming with the harvest of summer vegetables: zucchini, squash, onions, tomatoes, green beans, cabbage, carrots, beets, and more. With temperatures warming up, a dinner plate of fresh roasted vegetables with polenta is the perfect summer feast.
Choose 4 or 5 vegetables and grab a cast iron pan, and you’ll have the makings of a deeply satisfying meal. Fresh polenta is the perfect accompaniment to roasted vegetables but if your tastes run more towards rice, quinoa, couscous or pasta, that works, too. Read more 
Oro Cacao
Oro Cacao is Spanish for “gold cocoa” which is what you get when you mix the best almonds in the world with deep dark cocoa, sugar, and salt. Marcona almonds from Spain are sometimes referred to as the “Queen of Almonds” because they are sweeter, richer, and rounder than the California variety.
In Spain, macrona almonds are usually blanched to remove the outer skin and then sold in bulk or packaged. Traditionally, Spaniards carefully sauté the nuts in hot olive oil until the nuts reach a light brown color and then drain the nuts on paper towels. While warm, the nuts are sprinkled with salt and served as a snack or appetizer. Read more

Pure. Comfort. Food. Vegetable-centric foods that satisfy on every level.

Anson Mills Stone Cut Oats
Behold the phenomenon of real fresh oats.
Agricultural products depend on soil, seed, farming practices, preparation and enjoying the final product so it goes beyond saying that not all oats are created equal. In fact, it’s more accurate to say that oats – like many other products (think grocery store tomatoes versus Farmhouse tomatoes) – vary tremendously in flavor and it’s not because some are instant, flakes, or steel-cut but rather if the oat has been bred for flavor (as opposed to yield, visual appeal, shelf life, disease resistance, or transport) and grown in soil that uses crop rotation to maximize the nutrients and thus the flavor of the oat. Healthy, nutrient rich soil makes great tasting food. Read more
