Recipes

Hearty Greens Gratin
from Good Food Matters at Nancyvienneau.com

2-3 bunches greens – collard, kale, broccoli
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
3 cups Half-and-Half
1/2 pound shredded sharp cheddar (can be a combination of yellow and white sharps)

Preheat oven to 350 convection or 375 conventional.

Remove the leaf ribs and tear the leaves into pieces. Place into a large bowl. Sprinkle the leaves with salt, black pepper and nutmeg and toss. Heap the seasoned kale into a 9 inch by 13 inch baking dish. Pour the half-and-half over the kale, taking care that it doesn’t spill over the sides. Top with shredded cheddar, tucking some of the shreds underneath some leaves.

Place into the oven, middle rack, and bake for 45 minutes (convection) or an hour (conventional)

Let cool for 5 minutes and serve.

Makes 8 servings

Ann E Mays would like to thank all of the generous customers who bought pies and cakes from the girls last week! My girls are baking their fingers off trying to make Christmas money for gifts and we truly appreciate your support. We will be taking a much needed vacation this week but will be back with pies, cakes and delicious Christmas cookies on December 4. We look forward to seeing you all then!

Linda with Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has been working hard to be ready for your holiday needs! She sends this note

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has some things to help with your Christmas decorations. This year, in addition to our kissing balls, we also have centerpiece baskets of greenery. They’re selling as fast as I can make them at this time, so place your order soon.

Botanical Harmony Farm has added an Organic Green Tea and Sea Clay soap to their lineup. Amazing antioxidants and pulling power to help clear oily skin yet not leave it dry! Goat milk is nourishing and helps repair skin cells!

They also have a new Eco-Soy Candle in a variety of Fragrances.

“While we don’t use any fragrance oils in our skin care, Phtalate-free fragrance oils along with exceptionally clean-burning, renewable, soy-oil and paper core wicks are a great choice for burning in the home.
We love the scents we have chosen and hope you will too! There will be seasonal favorites, themed gift sets and more to come! We are working hard to be ready for your holiday gifting!”

See you Wednesday!

As always, we thank L & L Contractors for their hospitality and generosity in hosting our market! Please remember them in your contracting needs! They support us so please return the support to them!
