It`s Friday, so we`re sharing a fun fact!
Did you know, "Onions have been a part of the human diet for more than 7,000 years. Archeologists have discovered traces of onions dating back to 5000 B.C., found alongside stones from figs and dates in settlements from the Bronze Age."

Shop smarter! Choose foods that fill you up!
"Even though a 3-pound bag of apples may cost $4.00 versus $2.50 for a large bag of chips, consider which will satisfy your hunger longer. One study found that unsatiating foods leave people wanting to eat more often, which may translate into greater food costs."

"Save your Parmesan rinds (or any hard cheese rind) after you finish off the cheese and store it in a sealed bag in the freezer. It can be used to add intense flavor to broths, soups, and stews by adding it to the simmering liquid for 20 to 30 minutes ..."

While beans and other legumes are often the first choice when cooking without meat, cauliflower is another option.
You can serve it buffalo style, chop it fine for a taco meat substitute, or turn it into a pizza crust. How are you adding cauliflower to your weekly meal planning?

Sunday happens to be National Apple Dumpling Day! Stop by the market on Saturday to grab some apples for making and enjoying some dumplings on their special day! We`ll have freshly picked Georgia and North Carolina apples available for purchase.
From 10 AM until 2 PM we`ll be at Ebenezer Baptist Church. How do you like them apples?

"To slice avocados for salads or guacamole, split them in half, remove the pit by whacking it with the heel of your knife and twisting it out, then slice it directly in the skin using the tip of a paring knife or chef`s knife. When you then scoop it out with a spoon, you`ll have slices ready to go, with less mess than trying to fiddle with slippery peeled avocado on a cutting board."

Why does our market exist? While we have many goals, one is a desire to diminish food insecurity in our small space in Georgia. That's why we work so closely with SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program). What does SNAP do? Read and find out!

Explore Georgia's SNAP program: eligibility, benefits, impact on food security, and community support. Learn how it fights hunger. It's time for a Tuesday Tip! Need to make sure your meatballs are perfectly seasoned before cooking?
" ... when making meatloaf, sausage, or meatballs, take a small chunk of your mixture and fry it in a skillet (or even faster, microwave it for 10 to 15 seconds) and taste. Adjust seasoning levels in the mixture accordingly."

We didn't share a salad recipe yesterday, as we had an informative article we wanted to share to help celebrate National Guacamole Day. Hooray!
Today's salad recipe works across the board. Avocados are a main ingredient, it's a salad, and it's meatless! Enjoy!
