“Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible” ~Marion C. Garretty

I, for one, cannot thank my mother enough for all of the love and support she has given to me throughout my life.  When I ask her what she would like as a gift on a holiday or her birthday, she simply requests a nice meal with her family…and to have her garage cleaned.  This Mother’s Day, tell mom to put her feet up and let you do the cooking (we’ve even done some of the prep work for you, so you have more time to enjoy the company).  Also, pick up a bouquet of fresh cut flowers from Nature’s Oasis and a delicious, hand-crafted pastry form Serious Delights bakery.  Our friends at the Wine Merchant would be happy to suggest the perfect wine pairing.

·        Flank Steak Medallions stuffed with locally grown spinach, feta cheese, and pine nuts (great on the grill) $14.99/#

Hints of the spring season are all around us.  Birds are chirping, flowers blooming, there is mud on the carpet, and Sunnyside Farms Market is having a great weekend special.  This Friday (3/19) and Saturday (3/20) only, we’ll give you a FREE pound of 85% lean GROUND BEEF (5.99/#) when you buy a RIBEYE steak.  Celebrate the official beginning of spring !

****DISCLAIMER***

If Mother Nature decides to have a sense of humor and rain/snow on our Spring celebration, we’ll knock $4.00/# off the price of the ribeye steaks.

You don’t have to be Irish to enjoy this aromatic, fork-tender, slow-cooked roast which is delightfully easy to prepare.  The term “corned beef” comes from a time in the English language when grains were commonly referred to as “corns”, including grains of coarse salt, thus the name for this salt-cured beef dish.  Corned beef is made by brining a beef cut, commonly brisket, in a salty solution with a combination of sweet and savory spices.  The artisan-style brining process takes about three weeks.  Although corned beef and cabbage is not considered to be a traditional Irish dish (rather something that was popularized after the colonization of America), it is a favorite celebration meal on St. Patrick’s Day in the U.S.  Sunnyside Farms Market is featuring a house-made corned beef, which will be ready on Saturday, March 13^, $7.99/#.

This guy knows how it feels to get Superbowl party steaks at Sunnyside Farms Market.  Our buy-one-get-one-free special is good through Sunday 2/7/10 (Hurry, while supplies last!)  Choose from our all-natural, choice-grade top sirloin, T-bone, Porterhouse, New York strip or ribeye steaks (limit two purchased steaks per customer).  Superbowl sizzles with steaks from Sunnyside!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter

1 cup minced celery

3 tablespoons minced shallots

1 quart half-and-half cream

2 (8oz) containers of fresh shucked oysters, undrained

salt and black pepper to taste

1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

Directions:

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, add the celery and shallots and cook until vegetables are tender.  Add half-and-half, stirring continuously.  When the mixture is almost boiling, pour the oysters and their liquid into the pot.  Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne.  Stir continuously until the oysters curl at the ends.  When the oysters curl, the stew is ready.  We suggest that you serve this stew with fresh baked bread from Serious Delights bakery.  Enjoy!

If you are like most people, ringing in the New Year is about more than turning a page on the calendar, it is about looking forward to the prospect of new opportunities, prosperity, joy, peace, and good health.   You don’t necessarily have to be a fan of New Year resolutions in order to enjoy a healthy diet filled with foods that are as delicious as they are beneficial.   We are surrounded by foods that are packed with natural allies to help protect us against heart disease and cancer, relieve joint pain, and maintain mood stability.  Salmon, which is famous for its rich Omega-3 content, is a perfect example.  The recipe below will help you get your new year kicked off with a simple, savory salmon dinner.  Our friends at the Wine Merchant suggest that you serve this meal with a glass of Mandolin Monterey Pinot Noir 2007, $14.59 per bottle (which is good for your heart as well as your wallet!)

Ingredients:

·         3 cloves crushed garlic

·         1 Tablespoon basil

·         ½ teaspoon sea salt

·         ½ teaspoon black pepper

·         2 Tablespoons olive oil

·         1 lemon (quartered)

·         4 portions of salmon fillet (6-8 oz each)

Directions:

Mix dry seasonings and garlic, and rub mixture on the surface of the salmon.  Heat olive oil to medium in a sauté pan.  Cook fish (flesh side down first) until it starts to turn golden brown on the surface and gets flaky (around 4 minutes per side).  Squeeze juice from ¼ of the lemon on each fillet.  Enjoy!
