Back to School Bundle of the Week!

Stuffed Mini Bell Peppers with Fiesta Rice

Here's what people said when we sampled these at the farmers market last week....

 

"Oh my gosh, those are so good and so simple"

"That's a $12 appetizer - what a deal."

"These would be great in the lunchbox."

"I could just eat those for dinner."

Try Certified Organic Streaker Barley Flour

5# bag for $12

   

This special barley variety was first released by the Oregon State University Barley Project and is named “Streaker” due to its hulless characteristics, which means it does not require dehulling after harvest.  Barley flour is high in fiber, and with a nutty flavor, is a wonderful addition to any baked goods.  Just substitute ½ cup of barley flour in place of regular flour in pancakes, biscuits, muffins and breads.

How do you know when a pear is ripe?  . . . Check the neck

 Pears can be green, red or yellow so it's hard to know. Gently press the flesh around the stem.  When it starts to feel soft, the flesh inside is juicy and ripe. This doesn’t apply to Bosc or Asian pears, however, which are crunchy pears. Leave unripe pears at room temperature and they will ripen naturally.

The coveted “Riviera Pear” sold at Harry and David’s is a Comice pear.
