Want To Try a Really Great Tomato?

If you haven’t tried Santa Sweets® Authentic Grape Tomatoes, or UglyRipe® Tomatoes, you’re in for a real surprise.  Santa Sweets Grape Tomatoes are so tasty, kids eat them by the handful right out of the package.  Santa Sweets UglyRipe^® Heirloom Tomatoes offer that familiar old-fashioned, hearty tomato taste and meaty, beefsteak flesh like home-grown tomatoes. These tomato varieties can help punch your favorite recipes up, too.  UglyRipes are so succulent, a routine BLT becomes a special event!  UglyRipes raise the standard Caprese salad to a new level.  Try quickly grilling an UglyRipe before slicing to serve on your grilled burgers.  Or serve them all by themselves in wedges with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. The Authentic Grape Tomatoes are the perfect base for a simple but yummy sauce.  Slice a couple of handfuls in half lengthwise, sauté them in olive oil with a dash of salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs, and then pour the contents of the pan — including the juices — over roasted or grilled skinless chicken or turkey breast. Try roasting them whole in a hot (400°F) oven with a little minced garlic, olive oil, a pinch of dried Italian herbs, and a dash of salt and pepper for a few minutes until they soften and the skins pop.  Then pour the entire dish over slices of a grilled beef or salmon steak. For a delectable twist on Caprese salad, try Caprese kabobs:  Thread a tomato, a fresh mozzarella cheese ball about the same size as the tomato, and a basil leaf on a skewer. Continue until the skewer is full.  In a small bowl, whisk together a little olive oil and balsamic or red wine vinegar.  Drizzle this mixture over the kabobs just before serving.  Looking for even more recipe ideas?  Visit www.santasweets.com.

Why Are Santa Sweets Tomatoes So Good?

Santa Sweets was the first company to market grape tomatoes in the United States, so they know a thing or two about their tomatoes.  First, Santa Sweets only selects the most flavorful tomato seed varieties to grow.  Santa Sweets Tomatoes are naturally non-GMO, grown directly in the soil and sunshine of open fields and left on the vine to ripen.  Once ripe, Santa Sweets Tomatoes are hand-picked and hand-packed for immediate shipping. What’s more, Santa Sweets farms are strategically located throughout North America so there’s always a growing season year-round — and they are packed to order and shipped fresh every day.

More than a dozen years ago, the idea for a New Items column was created.  It started life as a monthly column in the Price Chopper weekly ad where two new items were described and pictured.  Over the years, the monthly New Items column has turned into a weekly column and the two items are featured on the Price Chopper website for sixty days after being in our actual weekly ad.  The New Items column will continue to appear in our weekly ad and two items will be featured each week. I am excited to tell you that I will be blogging about the New Items each week as well and look forward to hearing from you. Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy New Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy for men and women is a revolutionary line of nourishing shampoos and conditioners that turn the conventional hair care discussion on its head.  This new approach “feeds the scalp”-not just the ends!  Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy for women deeply nourished the scalp to work where it matters most, creating the right foundation for strong, beautiful hair from root to tip.  The nourishing shampoos and conditioners are clinically proven to help restore the scalp’s natural moisture balance (when using shampoo and conditioner) and give women stronger (less breakage when combining vs. non-conditioning shampoo), more beautiful hair in just seven days! Clear Men Scalp Therapy breaks the “one size fits all” approach to treating dandruff and is a lasting solution to one of the most common scalp issues for men-dandruff. This complete range of shampoos is specifically designed for men and clinically proven to provide 100 percent dandruff protection (no visible flakes with regular use).
