Produce Recipe of the Week: Vegan Kale Pesto
On sale this week (4/8-4/14): Organic Green Kale $0.99 each!
Who doesn’t love pesto?! Especially since it’s nice to have all year-round! Not only does it go well with pretty much EVERYTHING, but it’s very quick and easy to make. You can also freeze it in an ice cube tray and use them in future recipes to come!
Ingredients
2 Cups Kale, stemmed
1 Cup Parsley, picked
1 Cup Basil, picked
1/4 Cup Raw Sunflower Seeds (we also have this in our bulk section!)
3 Cloves Garlic
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1/4 Cup Nutritional Yeast (we also have this in our bulk section!)
Salt, to taste
Method
1. If desired, toast sunflower seeds for 8 minutes at 325 degrees F. They will brown quickly so make sure you keep an eye on them.
2. Add dry ingredients together into a food processor and puree. If herbs and kale do not fit together all at once, add these in batches.
3. While pureeing greens after all have been added, drizzle in oil and lemon juice.
4. Taste and season as desired.
5. After 5 days, freeze in ice trays for convenience.
6. Serve with pasta, bread, or any other ingredient to create a wonderful masterpiece, and enjoy!

PRODUCE RECIPE OF THE WEEK: BRAISED GREEN CABBAGE
On sale this week (3/11-3/17): Organic Green Cabbage $0.99 lb!
St. Patrick’s Day is literally right around the corner and we couldn’t be more excited! Not only do we have organic green cabbage on sale for $0.99 lb, but we also have antibiotic-free corned beef from Garrett Valley Farm! This recipe is perfect for your traditional St. Patrick’s Day meal with your family. BONUS– EPIC Bone Broth is also on sale for $5.29 each! DOUBLE BONUS– We are selling homemade Traditional and Gluten Free/Vegan Irish Soda Bread this Friday Evening (3/15), All Day Saturday (3/16) & Sunday (3/17)!
Ingredients
2 Tablespoons Melted Ghee (for coating baking dish) (we used Organic Valley Ghee)
1 Head Green Cabbage
1 Red or Yellow Onion, peeled and thickly sliced
2 Large Carrots, peeled and cut in 1/4-inch coins
1/4 Cup Bone Broth or Water (we used EPIC Bone Broth)
1/4 Cup Melted Ghee (we used Organic Valley Ghee)
Salt and Pepper
Aged Balsamic Vinegar, to taste (we used O Aged Balsamic Vinegar)
Method
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Make sure rack is set in the middle.
2. Coat baking dish with melted ghee.
3. Cut the tough stem end of the cabbage and split into 6-8 wedges. You want to make sure to keep the core attached so the wedges stay intact after cooking (the core will become super tender during cooking as well).
4. Lay the cabbage wedges in a single layer on the greased baking dish. Toss onions and carrots onto wedges and drizzle with bone broth and the melted ghee.
5. Season well with salt and pepper. Cover tightly with foil and place in oven.
6. Leave cabbage to cook (undisturbed) for 1 hour. After that hour, crack open the foil cover and flip over each wedge carefully. Reseal dish tightly and braise for another hour or until fork-tender.
7. Remove cabbage to cool and store in fridge until you’re ready to enjoy (up to 4 days). When you’re ready to serve, bake cabbage in oven until browned (about 15 minutes) at 425 degrees F.
8. Drizzle with aged balsamic vinegar, serve immediately, and enjoy!

Dry Skin? Moisture Up!
Everyone knows when the seasons change from the harsh, cold winter to sweet, fresh spring due to their skin. Since we’re stuck inside all winter long or we go outside to shovel the snow from our driveways and off of our cars, our skin tends to dry up and crack. Which is never fun to deal with. We all have our parents voices engraved in our minds telling us to put on lotion before we go out in the snow- but most of the time we forget anyways. Thankfully, there are always new products coming out that help our skin when we forget.
Even better news- we have lots of those products on our shelves just for you!
Booda Butter’s All-In-One Moisturizer is made with organic shea butter, fair trade cocoa butter, coconut oil, olive oil, and jojoba oil. If you’re tired of feeling your skin crack all winter long, this “butter” will help prevent that! Bonus- it comes in a full and travel size so you can have it stocked in your house or in your bag.
“Booda Butter has helped keep my hands “crack free” this entire winter. This moisturizer is a definite staple I use year round.” -Susan H.
This skin care company uses a variety of homeopathic ingredients. Their Intensive Skin Repair Salve contains arnica montana which helps relieve itchy dry skin, calendula to help heal wounds, echinacea augustifolia, and sambucus nigra to help decrease swelling and soothe the itch. Their Baby Skin Salve should be in every diaper bag. Not only does it contain sambucus nigra and calendula, but it also has cocoa butter and olive oil to help a baby’s skin stay soft and young!
“My poor baby suffered from bad diaper rash and she couldn’t stop crying. Once we put this salve on, the tears finally stopped and it helped her rash significantly!” -Lynn I.
Earth’s Care is all about the Earth and your body- they are even a 1% for the Planet member! Their Dry & Cracked Skin Balm dives deep in your skin to moisturize at the source. With shea butter, arnica, and cajeput oil, your skin is in good hands! People who suffer from eczema will love their Eczema Lotion. Their improved formula contains colloidal oatmeal which helps protect the skin, along with aloe and almond oil to help soothe itching due to eczema and rash.
“I LOVE the Eczema Lotion. Not only does it help the itch, but it also smells great and doesn’t feel too heavy on my skin.” -Kaitlyn A.
This family owned company specializes in organic topical products. They come in all shapes and sizes- especially in tiny tins for relief anywhere you go! Their Cuticle Care Balm gives you cuticle relief with shea butter, castor seed oil, olive fruit oil, and more. The Badger Balm for Hardworking Hands smoothes and softens your rough and dry skin. Perfect for after long days in the harsh winter weather.
“My cuticles get so much wear and tear that they never look nice during the winter holidays. But now with Badger’s Cuticle Care Balm, my nails look great and they don’t hurt anymore!” -Jennifer M.
This new brand of herbal salves is a great addition to your body care routine. Most of their natural ingredients are grown on their family owned farm in Millersburg, PA. Their Arnica & St. John’s Wort Salve can help relieve the itching and pain due to wound healing. The Calendula Salve helps decrease the unwanted redness and dryness from the winter weather. It helps soothe and nourish for the appearance of healthy looking skin.
“I use the calendula salve everyday on my cheeks to help with the dryness from the ‘winter wind.’ I no longer have red or dry patches on my face and I love it!” -Lindsey S.
