AUGUST 2024

As summer starts winding down, it’s time to make sure you get everything you can out of it. That not only includes getting time outdoors at the beach, the backyard, or wherever nature calls your name, it also means getting all you can out of the season’s bountiful produce. There is a veritable cornucopia of fruits and vegetables to enjoy and savor. Think crunchy salads, fruit pies, and veggie skewers. It’s a fresh take on summer that you don’t want to miss.

With gratitude,

Jerry

Dessert First

Summer without ice cream? No thanks. We love to indulge in some ice cold scoops during these sweaty months. Right now, we’re craving McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams. We call them ice cream magic makers, because they’ve summoned every little bit of flavor into single serve cups (spoon included). We’re stocked with Double Peanut Butter Chip, Salted Caramel Chip, and Vanilla Bean. And for those of you who love ice cream that you can eat one handed, you must taste Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwiches. These handcrafted treats come in flavors like Cookie Monster, Strawberry Shortcake, and Chocolate Blackout. Vegans, don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten about you. After all, we ALL scream for ice cream! Try Cosmic Bliss Vegan Ice Cream Sandwiches. Made from coconut milk, you’ll relish every bite. 

Best of all, we’ve put these tasty treats right by our front door so you won’t forget to grab ‘em up!

Seasonal Produce

Seasonal Fruits

We’ve got melons on our minds this month. Cantaloupe and honeydew are bursting with juicy flavor. Buy some pre-cut or grab a whole one to cut up yourself. They’re snackable as is, or you can gussy them up with foods that complement their sweetness. Grill some halloumi with a sprinkle of oregano and a squeeze of lemon, and serve with slices of cantaloupe for a sweet and salty bite.

Seasonal Veggies

Tomatoes are the unsung hero of summer. There, we said it! Beefsteak on a burger. Heirloom for a caprese salad. Roma for the grill. These crimson beauties are in abundance this month, so take advantage of it. And where there’s tomato, it’s only natural to find basil. We’ve got it in bunches. Need ideas for using these summer delights? Try the recipes below.

Dig In To These Dishes

  • Gazpacho
  • Summer’s Summer Salad
  • Basil Pesto

The Dog Days of Summer

It doesn’t seem to matter how fancy your barbecue is, someone (make that everyone) will want a hot dog or sausage. And why not? There’s just no denying how delicious they are. Applegate crafts hot dogs made from beef or turkey sourced from suppliers that have met third-party certified animal welfare standards. You sure can taste the difference!

We also carry Niman Ranch’s Bratwurst made from heritage pork, and crafted using traditional German spices. Niman Ranch sources their meat from family farms and ranches that adhere to humane standards. Trust us, you’re sure to be a fan of these brat packs!

Make sure you make room on your grill for some plant based protein as well. Lightlife Smart Dogs serve up all that hot dog flavor without the meat.

Kick It Up With Kraut & Mustard

You can’t bring up dogs and sausages without mentioning sauerkraut and mustard. And when it comes to flavor, Hawthorne Valley’s sauerkraut can’t be beat. Since 1999 they’ve been hand-crafting fermented veggies sourced primarily from organic and regenerative farms in New York. Rich in probiotics, enzymes, and nutrients, their line of kraut has a punch of unforgettable flavor. 

Move over ketchup, we’re looking for something tangier. We are, of course, talking about mustard—but not just any mustard—L’Maison Maille’s Dijon mustard. They’ve been in the mustard game for 270 years, so you know they’re doing something right.

Summer Senses

Looking for some other must-haves this season? Here are some shout-outs:

Summer Snacking

Need a little nosh at 3PM? Looking for a light bite to serve with cocktails? Pair slices of Johnny Breads sourdough with a slather of Meredith Dairy Marinated Sheep & Goat Cheese. Don’t forget to top it off with a drizzle of some of that marinated olive oil on top. It’ll rock your world. 

Summer Sipping

Yellow lemonade is so 2023. Come try our High Tide Blue Lemonade, which has all the lemony goodness with a touch of spirulina.

Summer Soaking

Doesn’t matter if you’re swimming or just soaking in the sun, you still have to make sure your skin is protected. Be sure to grab some Badger Sunscreen for the whole family. 

Summer Sweets

Jolly Llama has taken our staff by storm—especially Lauren—who can’t say enough about how delicious their ice creams and pops are. Come in and treat yourself.

Steve’s Summer Supplement

This month Steve is focusing on muscle pain and stiffness. As we get outside and exercise, our bodies can get stiff and uncomfortable. That’s where Arnica by Boiron comes in for relief. It’s a homeopathic treatment based around the topical healing power of the herb, arnica. Get yourself the dual pack of cream and oral pellets for local and general relief.

*As with any supplement, check with your doctor first for the okay, especially if you’ve got any medical conditions, are on medication, or are breastfeeding or pregnant.

Smoothie Of The Month

What do you call a smoothie that tastes so good you think there’s sorcery involved? The Mango Magic Smoothie, of course.  The blend of almond milk, mango, spinach, and bananas comes together to create a flavor that is otherworldly. Come in and summon one for yourself. 

The Glen Cove Education Foundation works tirelessly in support of their two missions. The first is to raise funds for the Glen Cove City School District, and the second is to engage the community so that they too will invest in the city’s schools. From funding programs for afterschool clubs and outdoor classrooms, to donations for things like touchless water filtration systems and air purifiers, The Glen Cove Education Foundation is an enormous asset to the community and we’re proud to give them our support this month.

Join the RT Team

We’re hiring for the fall.

When it comes to grocery stores, we may be on the smaller side, but what we lack in square footage, we make up for in company culture and teamwork. There’s a reason why our team members know customers’ names, products they prefer, and even what’s going on in their lives. It’s because one of our core hiring principles is finding candidates that are a good match with our culture. Generosity, positivity, and a can-do spirit are some of our top priorities when we hire. We place these values above being able to adhere to a rigid schedule. We understand that you’ve got a life outside of the store, so if we think you’re a great addition to our team, we’ll do our best to work with your schedule. If you’re a parent looking for work hours that align with your child’s school day, or you’re a retiree looking to make some extra money, or a student looking for part-time work, come in and interview with us. We’ll do our best to make a schedule that works for both of us!

Falafel Lunch Bowl
Sometimes you just need an easy lunch idea. Instead of falling back on takeout, put together this easy falafel lunch bowl using already prepared ingredients! Don’t sleep on the salad bar for washed, prepped, and chopped veggies. You could make a simple yogurt sauce with shredded cucumber. We won’t tell anyone if you buy it though. Colorful, fresh, and simple, this is a tasty compromise between ease and quality.

Peanut Butter Yogurt Bowl
The basic recipe consists of peanut butter, yogurt, and maple syrup, but you can get creative with any of your favorite toppings. May we suggest pumpkin seeds, dark chocolate, and your favorite granola? Or consider coconut shreds, sliced banana, and mixed berries. This creamy peanut butter yogurt bowl is perfect for meal prepping during busy weeks. Simply keep the ingredients on hand to make when the craving strikes or you can scale the recipe up and store it in the fridge for up to five days.

Warming Vegetable Soup with Ginger
There are few things more comforting than a hot bowl of soup on a cold night. Think of this as a no-recipe recipe. Got leftover rice from takeout? Need to clean out the crisper drawer before heading to the store for a restock? Mix and match the vegetables in this warming vegetable soup to your preferences, but make sure to include the ginger!

Tropical Smoothie Bowl
Smoothie bowls are a perfect way to inject a little tropical flair, not to mention vitamin C, into these winter days. Does the idea of drinking a meal take away some of the satisfaction? Control the consistency of your blended serving of fruits and go wild with toppings!

This coconut cashew nog is dairy-free and egg-free, which makes it an excellent option for the vegans in your life.

With farro and baby kale, this salad doesn’t have to be relegated to the side. Make it the star of the show with some grilled chicken or scallops. Tarragon has a pungent, bittersweet flavor that holds its own in the salad. If you can’t find tarragon, or don’t love its fennel-like notes, you can always substitute basil, dill, or any other soft herb you like.

Hot Honey Crispy Chicken Sandwiches
You can find a crispy chicken sandwich on every corner these days, but they are not all equal. Making one yourself means you get to have it just how you like it, and you know what’s in it! With some kale slaw and thinly sliced red onion, you’re getting good vegetables and added crunch. The sweet heat of hot honey will keep you wanting more! It may be sticky, but that just makes it finger licking good.

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.

Recipes 

Grain-Free Iced Lemon Blueberry Tray Cake
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
This noodle bowl features a classic peanut dressing and pasta made from chickpeas! Chickapea is more than just pasta, it’s an excellent source of plant-based protein. Add your favorite veggies and this complete meal is a no brainer!

Lime Ginger Sparkler
This refreshing sparkler fits an after work happy hour. You can also replace the alcohol with additional Lime Ginger Nixie for a family friendly drink for your next BBQ. Lime, ginger, and mint come together to create a bold and exciting drink for every occasion!

Recipes 

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.

Bright citrus and tropical coconut combine for the best way to welcome spring or celebrate Pi Day! March is a great month to transition to lighter recipes with minimal prep, so you can start to enjoy longer days outside! 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.

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!

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.*

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!

Charity of the Month – North Shore Sheltering Program

Twenty-four years ago, two homeless men—in separate incidents—froze to death in Glen Cove. It was this double tragedy that brought religious and community leaders together to found the North Shore Sheltering Program. The mission of the program has been simple and one we are very proud to support: No man will ever freeze to death again on the streets of Glen Cove.

Charity of the Month – Girls Rising

This nonprofit organization was created by the Sea Cliff-based all-female rock band, Antigone Rising, to empower and inspire girls and LGBTQ kids to pursue careers in STEAM fields.

Girls Rising uplifts kids and builds self-esteem by sharing personal stories at outreach workshops and live performances. Included at their workshops are inspirational special guests from other STEAM fields to create a panel of diversity.

Recipes

Avocado Kefir Dip

Originally calling for buttermilk, this tangy dressing substitutes Redwood Hill Farm’s plain kefir in this ranch dressing recipe. Nutrient-dense avocados lend a velvety texture and vibrant hue to the dressing. It can be used as a dip for raw vegetables, tortilla chips, or over salad greens!

Homemade Ricotta Cheese

It’s June Dairy Month and what better way to celebrate than with homemade cheese? Making your own cheese might seem intimidating, but this recipe for homemade ricotta cheese couldn’t be easier. There are seldom ingredients as versatile as ricotta with the ability to lean sweet or savory. In less than an hour, you’ll have the perfect base for lasagna, ricotta lemon pancakes, or even a cheesecake! With only a few ingredients, the quality of each will shine through. This spreadable cheese is equally at home dolloped on a grilled bread for bruschetta or folded into a crepe. Add it to your next charcuterie board and impress everyone with your homemade cheese!

BBQ Chicken

With BBQ chicken, there is no need to complicate things. We suggest chicken legs for this recipe, which will feature drumsticks and thighs for a juicy, flavorful dish. Basting the chicken near the end of cooking time ensures great flavor without burning the sugars in the sauce. Use your favorite prepared barbecue sauce to make this a weeknight friendly meal. There’s no need to wait until the weekend to fire up the grill. And with this simple summer staple, you’ll surely be the grill master!

Easy Summer Trifle

Make the most of strawberry season with this Easy Summer Trifle! By layering ripe berries (or your favorite summer fruit), poundcake, and lightly sweetened whipped cream, you create a stunning dessert centerpiece that can be made ahead of time. To make this recipe dairy-free, choose a vegan poundcake and make the whipped cream with coconut cream. Whichever whipped cream you make, be sure the ingredients are well-chilled before whipping! Garnish with mint and powdered sugar for an elegant summertime treat.

In 2014, Living Water for Women established a structured transitional home for women who are struggling with addictions, some of whom may also have been incarcerated.

Living Water’s mission is one that stands to benefit every last one of us: to help disenfranchised and formerly incarcerated women, struggling with addictions, to overcome their weaknesses and nurture their strengths so that they may become vital members of the community.

Crisp-ify your tortillas in the oven and add a mountain of toppings!

Modify it to suit your dietary needs using meat alternatives or dairy-free substitutions.

Boil the noodles, chop the vegetables, whisk together the dressing and you’re nearly there! Buckwheat noodles are packed with protein, but if you’re looking for more, then adding chicken, shrimp or tofu would pair well with these flavors, too. The customizability of this meal makes it perfect for a household of varying diets or preferences.

Recipes 

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? 

Potato and Chard Quiche

Ah, quiche! The perfect mix of breakfast and lunch with a savory egg filling and veggie mix-ins. This recipe is a great bridge to spring with early season leeks and chard, but the potatoes will keep you satisfied and full. Make this ahead of time to enjoy hearty breakfasts all week long or serve with a side salad for a quick lunch. No matter the time of day, this quiche will satisfy. Try substituting your favorite cooking green or adding different herbs to keep things fresh  

Gochujang Glazed Tofu Bowl 

This dish features all the hits: it comes together fast, features a knockout glaze, and packs a variety of nutrients in one bowl! The key component here is the gochujang (red chili paste) glazed tofu baked to perfection, along with fresh veggies, like radishes and cukes to add a fresh crunch. Lime, cilantro and peanuts finish it all off with a bright zip you’ll love! If you’ve grown bored of rice, why not try it over rice noodles or your favorite grain? It’s also great with tempeh, instead of tofu. Customize it to suit your tastes, but rest assured if you’re using this recipe as a base, it will be a winner.

All-Purpose Citrus Spray Cleaner  

Spring is coming and it’s time to throw open the windows and let out that stale winter air. As you start gathering your supplies and getting down to spring cleaning, reach for this more sustainable alternative to harsh chemicals. You may just have these ingredients at home already! This recipe utilizes citrus scraps, imparting their fragrant oils to the solution’s antimicrobial, vinegar base. So, start saving the peels from whatever citrus fruit you may be munching on and bring some freshness to your home! 

Mulligan Stew 

Bring all the best ingredients together in one, steamy pot with this Mulligan Stew! Often thought of as a St. Paddy’s Day entrée, Mulligan Stew was meant for improvising, so throw whatever you’ve got in the pot with the brisket, potatoes and green beans. With such great foundational flavors coming from the garlic, bay leaves, onions, and thyme, you can’t go wrong! This recipe features a bit of stout beer, if you have it, to really up the Irish ante. 

Vegan Crispy Bars 

Chewy and chocolatey, these Vegan Crispy Bars will delight the whole family—whether or not they’re vegan. Melt the peanut butter, syrups, and vanilla together over medium/low heat and pour over rice cereal. Press into a pan and top with silky, melted chocolate. Finish with shredded coconut and you’ll have a treat as good as grandma’s in no time. The most difficult part is waiting until they’ve cooled to dig in!

Charity of the Month – Bayville Village Church Food Pantry 

The Mimi Mernin Food Pantry (aka the Bayville Village Church food pantry) was started as a small outreach service almost 20 years ago and operated out of a small shed at the rear of the church.  Until recently, they solely relied on private donations.  With the onset of the coronavirus, the Food Pantry expanded their services and moved to a conference room in the Village Church. They are currently open Saturdays, from 9am -12pm for drive up/no contact distribution. Presently, they are serving about 50 families/200 individuals per distribution date, offering dry goods, produce, meats, dairy items and more. 

 

2020 Donations 

We can all agree 2020 threw us a few curveballs – which is why it’s even more AMAZING that our customers have truly stepped up to help those in need. Through our Charity of the Month program, we were able to raise over $10,000 for a number of different local organizations.  Community engagement has always been a huge part of this store – it’s important that we recognize the tremendous individuals that make these nonprofits tick, and really see how their work is impacting the neediest in our community.

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. This year, heart health is extremely important, as people with poor cardiovascular health may also be at increased risk of illness from COVID-19. 

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. 

Get those red clothes ready! February 5th is National Wear Red Day, when people across the country are encouraged to wear red to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease.

Charity of the Month – Green Inside and Out

With the mission to empower and educate consumers about better alternatives for low-environmental impact living, Green Inside and Out seeks to educate people on how best to protect themselves and the environment through their daily choices, for the benefit of all. Green Inside and Out seeks to remind us that sometimes things we use every day can be toxic to our health or the environment. Without a clean environment, life on earth, human or otherwise, is unsustainable. 

Founded by Beth Fiteni in 2011, Green Inside and Out is a Long Island based nonprofit that has several programs including a podcast,  radio show on WUSB 90.1fm, an educational blog, and a multitude of campaigns focused on Ecofashion, Toxins, Waste Reduction, and supporting a Vegan Lifestyle.

Soak in the detoxifying powers of not only the fruit but also the apple cider vinegar in the dressing and enjoy this refreshing winter salad.

 

Miso Soup with Silken Tofu Although it comes together simply, you’ll be wowed with the complex depth of flavor created in this soup! Kombu is a sea kelp native to Japan. It adds umami and rich nutrients to this dish. Garnish this brothy goodness with green onions, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes for even more punch.

As a result of our continued support to these and other groups, we were recognized with a Community Service Award by the Glen Cove Chamber of Commerce in November at their 16th Annual Gala—an honor we accepted with great pride.

In addition, we’re happy to report that our second annual year-end Round Up for the Holidays allowed us to contribute  $2,760 ($1,380 from our customers and a $1,380 match made by Rising Tide Natural Market), split evenly between two local charities that help fight hunger in the Glen Cove area: the Finley Middle School Food Pantry, located right across the street from Rising Tide, and the North Shore Soup Kitchen (formerly the North Shore INN), housed in the First Baptist Church in Glen Cove. Both groups support a cause that’s near and dear to our hearts…we’ll always step up to help others get the food they need to thrive.

These are some of the local organizations that we’ve had the pleasure of getting to know since our Charity of the Month program launched nearly three years ago. We hope by focusing on a different charity each month that some of you will get to know these amazing groups, too. They are some of the finest examples of the wonderful spirit of this community that we’ve come across.

As we dive into a new year, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who made it possible for Rising Tide to make these donations, each of which helps a stellar organization continue to do great, compassionate work in this community.

As we prepare for one of Rising Tide’s most exciting years on record (of course we’re talking about our beautiful, new 11,000 square foot store opening across from our current location later this year!) we’re looking forward to more giving, more volunteering, and more community engagement than ever before. If you have an idea for a local nonprofit organization that you think would make a good Rising Tide Charity of the Month, please reach out to us via our website. And thank you, as always, for your support.

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.
