Charity of the Month
The Finley Food pantry provides fresh and shelf-stable food items to residents of Glen Cove. Staffed by student and teacher volunteers, the pantry goes above and beyond to serve about 200 families – taking special orders, sending food home with students, and making deliveries for families lacking transportation. The Food Pantry has partnered with The Porch Pantry, and is also doing many diaper and formula deliveries to families who are having difficulty finding and purchasing baby formula, continuing to ensure local families get what they need. We’re proud to be donating to this amazing program that makes such a difference in the lives of our Glen Cove neighbors.

Recipes 

Grilled Vegetable Orzo Salad
While burgers get a lot of love this time of year, don’t sleep on grilled vegetables! You get all the same char-grilled goodness, and you don’t have to heat your kitchen roasting veggies. Worried about losing skinny veggies between the grates of your grill? Either roast veggies whole or use some foil to give them a solid surface. Topped with scallions and feta cheese, this orzo salad is perfect for all your summer get togethers! You can eat it right away warm or let it cool and serve it chilled. A big batch of this in the fridge is perfect to have on hand whenever hunger strikes.

Creamy Basil Kefir Sauce
This ultra-creamy basil kefir sauce is the perfect low-lactose addition to pasta, salads, or even flatbreads. Thanks to the Redwood Hill Farm Goat Milk Kefir, your dish will even get a little probiotic boost, too. Yay, microbiome!

Lightly Salted Rice Cakes with Basil Chicken Salad
For a light lunch or satisfying snack, try topping Lightly Salted Rice Cakes with Basil Chicken Salad! Our recipe calls for fresh herbs and Greek yogurt to create a creamy texture and tangy flavor that’s perfectly balanced by organic brown rice. Plus, this pairing is packed with protein and plenty of whole grains to fill you up without weighing you down. Isn’t that delicious?

Gruyere with Potatoes and Asparagus
With an alpine cheese and crispy roasted veggies, this is the kind of snack turned meal we can get behind. Is draping gruyere over roasted veggies the adult version of broccoli and cheese sauce? We think it’s just as good. Include a few pickles to add a zingy bite.

Whether it’s for Mother’s Day or just to appreciate the final weeks of spring, this grain-free tray bake might remind you of a certain baking competition show from across the pond. This quick bread is perfect for breakfast in bed or to go with an afternoon coffee. It would also make a fine dessert if it lasts that long! Lemon and blueberry are such a perfect combination. If you don’t see nice fresh blueberries quite yet, you can substitute wild frozen berries. Thawed works best, but if you don’t have time, baking with frozen blueberries works here too! It just may need a few extra minutes in the oven.

King Mushroom Birria-Style Tacos
Sautéed mushrooms pack a flavorful punch when combined with a melty plant-based cheese! The chicken flavored bouillon contains no meat, but it does add a ton of umami. The beauty of birria-style tacos is that you get a side of dipping sauce! Instead of a traditional consommé, this simplified version uses enchilada sauce, so you don’t have to wait long to enjoy! Feel free to thin the enchilada sauce with veggie broth (maybe mushroom broth!) to get a more typical birria experience. It’s messy, but it’s so good!

Asian Summer Noodle Bowl with Peanut Dressing

Natural Dyed Eggs
Jump into spring with a seasonal project that’s great for the whole family! Marvel over the way boiled red cabbage turns an egg blue and yellow onion skins make a vibrant orange. It’s science and creativity all in one! The longer the eggs sit in their solutions, the more pronounced their color becomes. Try drawing on the eggs with crayons to create dye-free spots or dipping only half the egg. Who can make the funkiest egg of the dozen? 

Cauliflower Cheese Gratin
This gratin is great, because you use the leaves of the cauliflower, and not just the florets. With the same creamy, cheesy sauce as your favorite mac and cheese, this cauliflower dish adds comfort and vegetables to your meal rotation. Sambal is an Indonesian chili garlic paste. In this dish, it cuts through the cream and adds a touch of heat. If you don’t have any on hand, a good substitute would be Sriracha; red pepper flakes can also work in a pinch.

Pineapple Tepache
Have you ever bought a fresh pineapple and wondered if there was a way to utilize all the rind? If you’re a fan of kombucha, try your hand at homemade pineapple tepache. It’s easier and faster to make tepache than kombucha. This fermented drink is full of enzymes like bromelain from pineapple and probiotics from the fermentation process, which can support digestion. Make sure to taste the mixture often to find the perfect blend of sweet and tart. Serve as a refreshing sparkling drink or use it full-strength in your next homemade vinaigrette.

Vegan Power Bowl
Full of colorful veggies, this vegan power bowl really hits the spot. Topped with a creamy peanut dressing, powered by oatmilk, you’ve got yourself a perfect protein-packed lunch like no other.

With a ready-made crust, you just whisk eggs and sweetened condensed milk to create a simple custard mixture. The coconut variety of sweetened condensed milk adds to the flavor of the pie, but you can substitute a traditional sweetened condensed milk with a teaspoon of coconut extract. The fresh juice and zests kick up the flavor on this quick and impressive dessert.

Mini Wild Albacore Tuna Sweet Potato Cakes
With baked sweet potato puree and that healthy pantry of canned tuna, these easy mini tuna cakes are an elegant meal solution for lunch or dinner. Serve on a bed of greens or simply with lemon wedges.

Smoothie of the Month
February is all about the heart – and we love our customers.  It’s a perfect time to sip some heart-healthy happiness with our Heart Beet Smoothie. Made with organic ingredients: Mango, Strawberries, Juiced beet, Turmeric, Cayenne pepper and Coconut water.

Recipes

Beet Velvet Cupcakes
Beets are the perfect source of earthy sweetness without using any refined sugars. The natural color from red beets eliminates the need to use any food coloring to achieve a red color. If you use a plant-based milk instead of water in the recipe, your cupcakes will turn out more pink than red. With the rich flavor of chocolate, even beet-skeptics will find something to love in these beet velvet cupcakes. If you choose to share, no one will know the secret ingredient unless you tell them.

Alpha Omega Salad
Farro is a great grain to have in your pantry. Also known as emmer wheat, farro is a source of protein, fiber, and minerals. Plus, a 20-minute cooking time is nearly half of some other whole grains. Try it hot in soups or sides, or cold, like in this colorful alpha omega salad. It makes packing healthy lunches a snap! Make a batch of the salad and portion it into individual containers for the week. Your future self will thank you!

Caramelized Onion & Aioli Beyond Burger
Elevate burger night by topping Beyond Burgers with caramelized onions and garlic aioli. There’s no shortage of flavor here!

Creamy Vegan Spaghetti Carbonara
Crispy mushrooms and a complex, rich sauce come together to re-imagine a classic dish. Lighter than traditional carbonara recipes, but with plenty of protein to keep you satisfied. This is a smarter way to pasta.

Truffalo™ Wings
Super quick and easy, this game day app combines D’Artagnan’s amazing Green Circle chicken wings with the delicacy that is TRUFF’s Signature Black Truffle Hot Sauce. It will truly take your wing game up to the next level.

Heart Health

American Heart Month

February is American Heart Month, bringing attention to how we can motivate ourselves and each other to adopt healthy lifestyles that may help prevent heart disease. 

Heart disease is the number one cause of deaths for most groups, affecting all ages, genders, and ethnicities. Luckily, there are some simple behavior changes that may prevent heart disease, including not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, controlling blood sugar and cholesterol, managing high blood pressure, increasing physical activity and getting regular checkups. 

Let’s focus on some of the highest recommended supplements that support heart health.

• Bluebonnet Ubiquinol contains the active form of CoQ10, Ubiquinol. CoQ10 is an antioxidant that supports cellular and cardiovascular health.*
• Natural Factors Garlic +Reishi has 4.5 odor controlled garlic cloves per capsule, providing support for the immune and cardiovascular systems.*
• Wiley’s Bold Heart delivers 2000 mg of plant sterols per serving in a vegan solution for heart health.*

Stop by the Rising Tide supplement department and as always, if you have any questions just ask Steve!

Recipes

Cabbage and Beet Ferment
If you’ve never made your own fermented foods, now is a great time to get started. With hearty winter veggies, this cabbage and beet ferment is a great introduction to home fermenting! It’s as easy as combining salt and time with your favorite veggies. Beneficial bacteria will get to work making nutrients more bioavailable and creating a fizzy tart flavor. You can start tasting the mixture after about one week. When it is as sour as you like, it’s done!

Thai Coconut Soup
January is National Soup Month, and this Thai Coconut Soup deserves a spot in your meal plan. This recipe relies on pantry staples, so you can make a batch whenever the mood strikes. Garlic, ginger, and chili flakes bring an exciting depth of flavor that enhances the jarred curry paste. You can always turn up the heat or dial it back by adjusting the curry paste and chili flakes to suit your taste. Don’t forget, the coconut milk adds a nice creaminess that balances the heat.

Recipes

Maple Caramel Popcorn
Like a cross between peanut brittle and kettle corn, this sweet treat is better than anything you might find in a tin. It would be equally at home at your next cookie swap or during a movie night at home. The depth of flavor you get from maple syrup is perfectly balanced with a touch of sea salt and crunchy peanuts. It will feed a crowd, but make sure it’s fully cooled, store it in an airtight container for up to two weeks. We doubt it will last that long though!

Puff Pastry Twists
These elegant puff pastry twists are as easy as they are delicious. They’re equally good at home served as a crunchy side to a comforting bowl of tomato soup as they are on the most elaborate charcuterie spread. Remembering to thaw the frozen puff pastry is the hardest thing you’ll have to handle to pull these off. Feel free to explore additional fillings like prepared pesto, Asiago or Pecorino Romano cheese, everything bagel seasoning, or even cinnamon sugar for a sweet twist.

Shrimp Ramen Noodles
Making a flavorful shrimp ramen is easy when you use the shells! Make sure you buy shell-on shrimp, which are usually cheaper anyway, and make a quick stock. Using the shells to extract even more flavor is the best way to get the most from high quality ingredients. Aromatics like lemongrass, ginger, and garlic add flavor to the wonderful broth. You’ll get more flavor from this 15-minute stock than you will from any flavor packet. Take it to the next level with a soft-boiled egg or sheets of nori to complete the ramen experience.

Hot Cocoa Drink Mix
Whether you’re stocking up for a winter of hot cocoa or you want to make a homemade gift your host will actually use, this hot cocoa drink mix is sure to please. You can scale this recipe up or down depending on how much cocoa you need. For the perfect holiday gift, make a double or triple batch and use decorative jars to elevate this simple homemade treat into a welcome gift. Make sure you include short instructions for your recipient!

SUMMER AIN’T OVER YET: What to Do Before It’s Officially Fall

We’re almost there; we’ve already had our “false fall” where we got our first glimpse of cooler temps, and as school begins and new routines are implemented, we start to feel the warm, laid-back beauty of summer begin to fade. But it’s not over yet! Summer is officially still summer until September 22. Spend the next few weeks checking off your summer wish list items, while also preparing for a successful transition to fall.

Find a body of water. We are blessed in Long Island to be surrounded by water. Make the most of it! Whether it’s a lake, an ocean, a river, or something else, take the plunge. Go fishing, swimming, hop on a paddle board or into a kayak. Take a boat ride; one of our favorites is the ferry to Fire Island, but a short ride on a Port Washington Water Taxi can do the trick, as well.

Try something new. There’s still time to take a detour from the usual to try something you’ve always meant to. Beach yoga? Learn a second language? Take a day trip to an interesting new town? A cooking class? Whatever strikes your curiosity, lean into it this September.

Visit a farmers market. Take advantage of our proximity to local markets while they last. The produce this time of year is remarkable, and dinner made with late-summer ingredients from the local farmers market is simply unbeatable. Click here for some clean, easy to prepare recipes using some of the season’s shining stars.

Go camping. Few things lend themselves to as many late-summer activities as camping. Hiking…check. Kayaking…..check. Grilling….check. S’mores…check. Stargazing….you guessed it….check. Did you know two of the best campgrounds in NY State are located right here on LI? Or if glamping is more your scene, you can enjoy the outdoors in style, right in NYC.

Start a gratitude practice. And do it now before the days get shorter (and you lose the light earlier). You don’t have to get fancy; just jotting down a few things each day that you’re grateful for can help you have a positive outlook and guard against depression.

Do any of these suggestions resonate with you? If not, that’s ok! Just get outside and do the things you love and you’ll have no regrets once sweater season is upon us.
