    Everything You Need to Know About Buying Organic

    August 15, 2018

    The organic food market in the United States hit $49.4 billion in sales in 2017- a record. Organic food in 2017 accounted for 5.5 percent of the food sold in retail channels in the United States. Total organic sales in 2017 were $49.4 billion, also up 6.4%, as sales of organic non-food products rose 7.4 percent to $4.2 billion. I know you see the Facebook posts and hear the television teasers, “are you truly buying organic? Stay tuned for our in-depth report!” I wanted my own garden to be ORGANIC, but it is not.  I had to use man-made fertilizer to stimulate my tomatoes. Inception of the Organic Label In…

    Sprouts Brings Fresh Food to Greenville

    June 20, 2018

    Finally visited my first Sprouts Farmer’s Market last week at their Greenville Grand Opening and it did not disappoint! Kailia, with Sprouts gave me and four other enthusiastic bloggers a grand tour. Why Shop at Sprouts Farmers Market? During our tour, Kalia explained how Sprouts targets the “transitional shopper.” I am a transitional shopper – moving from traditional processed foods to more raw, healthy real food. For foodies like me who hunger for a shopping experience, Sprouts delivers fresh produce (many organic choices), meat and seafood, bulk grains, vitamins and supplements, a deli with freshly prepared entrees and sides, dairy, bakery, natural body care items and more. Perusing the hundreds…

    My Garden First Crop

    May 23, 2016

    My garden first crop was 2 yellow crooked neck squash and 1 zephyr squash. Both are delicious!  Both varieties have the same texture and flavor.  The Zephyr is the one with the green tip.  According to “SpecialityProduce.com” Zephyr squash is a relatively new type of summer squash and botanically a part of Cucurbita pepo. A highly productive hybrid variety the Zephyr is a constricted neck type of squash, similar to that of yellow crook neck squash. It was bred specifically to have superior taste, quality and adaptability. Its fruit can be harvested at varying stages of maturity, with the medium size of five to seven inches being the most recommended…

    Products I Love: Ancient Harvest

    April 20, 2016

    My husband and I love to eat pasta at least one night a week.  I am always searching for more healthy pasta options.  Recently, while eating lunch at  THE SWAMP RABBIT CAFE,  I stumbled upon Ancient Harvest.  After preparing it for dinner, we are searching for all their products. Ancient Harvest: Pasta Several pasta shapes were available, I picked up penne and spaghetti.  As a certified NON-GMO product, the ingredients are simple, corn, flour and quinoa flour. Much has been made of QUINOA and its health benefits.   Relativity new to the American market, quinoa was a staple food of the ancient Incas.  Quinoa is called a SUPER-GRAIN OF THE FUTURE…
