Ready to savor, you can find them in our produce department. Green zucchini and yellow summer squash, golden butternut squash, dark magenta beets, and more……we love this trend! Versatile, sweet, savory and pretty, they are a top pick for a lower carb or gluten free lifestyle. Bonus, they add nutrients like Vitamin A and C, potassium, fiber and antioxidants. Try one of these tasty ideas… Beets: Spiralized beets can be enjoyed raw or cooked. Quick to cook, add them to casseroles, and soups, or spread evenly on an oiled sheet pan and roast for 10 minutes. Roasted beets, feta and mandarin oranges is an easy side dish. Or, combine raw beets with spiralized carrots, coleslaw cabbage mix, chopped apples and pecans with an apple vinaigrette for a pretty and delicious salad. Carrots: Spiralized carrots are fun to add to chicken soup, use as a base for quiche, or get inspired with a savory side dish like steamed carrots and Full Circle Organic Peanut Satay sauce (in the Asian sauces section). Top that with some chopped cilantro and WOW your family and friends. Zucchini and Summer Squash: We carry “zoodles” and the zucchini and summer squash combo – great for salads, subbing for or adding into pasta dishes (pesto potential!), or steam and top with olive bruschetta and grape tomatoes, or saute with garlic, sliced mushrooms, and top with parmigiana cheese. Butternut squash is usually cooked – steam, roast or sub for regular pasta. Season with garlic and sage, curried with coconut milk, or added to a pretty risotto. You can also find some great recipes on our website, like Shrimp Piccatta with Zucchini Noodles, http://bit.ly/2HQUn25, or, substitute the beet noodles for regular beets in Balsamic Glazed Beets with Pecans http://bit.ly/2HRbsbO. Enjoy! We all know how important a good home-cooked meal is, but we also know what it’s like to get home after a trip to the store and not have all the ingredients we need for that night’s dinner. That feeling is even worse when we choose not to buy something because we thought we already had it at home! Luckily, this can be fixed by realizing what those important staple ingredients are and always making sure we have enough on hand all the time. Olive Oil Olive oil is one of the best cooking oils out there. Aside from having nutritional benefits, you can use it to cook a wide variety of different foods as well as pour it (moderately) over a salad as a dressing. Your Favorite Hot Sauce Whether you’re using it on a container of leftovers or topping your side of rice with it, hot sauce is a versatile staple in many kitchens and pantries across the globe. Always good to have extra on hand! Salt Another versatile staple, salt is used in so many different things that we make. As long as you keep some salt stored up at home, you won’t ever have to have the realization that you forgot something as simple as salt! Flour Flour is a key ingredient when baking. We use it in so many different things, from cookies to bread, that it’s best to make sure we always have some on hand back home. The best kind of flour to get, if you don’t have a specific purpose in mind, would be all-purpose flour. Butter Although not technically a “pantry” item, butter is one of the oldest American cooking and baking staples. Butter not only gets used up pretty fast in a lot of households, but it also can last a fairly long time in the fridge, so you won’t ever have to worry about it going bad if you keep a lot on hand. Anyone can forget a key ingredient at the grocery store. Don’t make the mistake of forgetting something as simple as flour or butter by always keeping some on hand in your home!
