Ingredients

4 apples

½ cup brown sugar

2 tsp. ground cinnamon

4 tbsp. butter

Method

Core the apples, removing core, seeds and stem but do not cut all the way through. Place in a small casserole dish. In a small bowl, mash together with a fork, the brown sugar, cinnamon and butter. Stuff each apple evenly with the mixture. Sprinkle with a dash of more cinnamon.

Bake in a preheated oven set to 350F for 15 minutes, until the apples start to soften and the sugar starts to caramelize.

Serve each apple with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and butterscotch sauce drizzled on top

Ingredients

1 lb. zucchini, sliced

1 onion, sliced

1 clove garlic, minced

½ tsp. basil

½ tsp. oregano

Salt to taste

3 tbsp. butter

1 tomato, cut into 12 wedges

1 cup shredded mozzarella

Method

In a large skillet, sauté first ingredients in butter until crisp-tender.

Gently toss in tomato wedges and mix in. Sprinkle with cheese. Remove from heat; cover and let stand for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Ingredients

5 oz. bag of Spring Mix

2 oranges, peeled and cut into sections

1 cup pomegranate seeds (optional)

1 red onion, sliced into rings

¼ cup EVOO (Extra-virgin olive oil)

3 tbsp. red wine vinegar

1 tsp. sugar

Salt and pepper to taste

Method

On a large platter, arrange spring mix. Evenly place sections of orange and slices of red onions and pomegranate seeds over the salad mix.

In a small bowl, or a canning jar with a tight-fitting lid, mix dressing ingredients until combined.

Drizzle over salad just before serving.

Ingredients

1 lb. Asparagus, ends trimmed so all pieces are approximately the same length (about 8” long)

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed

2 cups Swiss Cheese, shredded

1 tbsp. olive oil

Salt and Pepper

Method

Preheat oven to 400F. Dust counter lightly with flour and roll puff pastry into a rectangle, about 16” long by 10” wide. Place dough on cookie sheet. With sharp knife, lightly score a rectangle within 1” of all sides to create a smaller rectangle. Be careful not to pierce the dough all the way through. This smaller rectangle is giving you a frame to work within. Inside the smaller rectangle, pierce the dough all over with a fork. When placed in the oven, this smaller rectangle will allow the heat from the oven to come through the dough and not “puff” up. The sides will puff up creating a dough border.

Bake in preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until golden.

Remove pastry from oven. Sprinkle Swiss Cheese over inside of rectangle. Place the asparagus spears within the border (alternate ends and tips). Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Bake for about 20-25 minutes, until asparagus is tender. Remove from oven and let cool for5 minutes. Slice tart in half lengthwise and then slice each length into 2” slices.

Ingredients

8 slices white bread, cubed

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 tbsp. butter

8 oz. organic mushrooms, sliced

1 onion, diced

1 stalk celery, diced

7 large eggs, lightly beaten

3 ½ cups milk

½ tsp. salt

¼ tsp. pepper

6 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled

2 Honeycrisp Apples

2 Bananas

2 Oranges

1 cup grapes

1 cup Vanilla Yogurt

Method

Grease a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish. Sprinkle the bread over the bottom of the dish and then sprinkle the cheese.

Heat butter in sauté pan. Saute mushrooms, onions and celery until onions and celery are soft. Evenly distribute mixture over the bread and cheese.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour evenly over bread, cheese and vegetables.

Sprinkle with bacon. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 350F. Remove cover and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let stand for about 10 minutes before serving.

While the Breakfast Bake is in the oven, slice the apples, bananas and oranges into bite size pieces. Place in a serving bowl with the grapes. Drizzle vanilla yogurt over the top of the fruit.

Serve a piece of Christmas Morning Breakfast Bake with a spoonful of yogurt fruit on the side.

Ingredients

1 tbsp. olive oil

1 pkg fresh cut (on the farm) Turnip

4 large carrots, sliced

2 celery ribs, sliced

1.5 lb of mini white potatoes, cubed

1 large onion, chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

1 900ml container of low sodium vegetable or chicken stock

1 ½ cups water

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup whipping cream (35%), optional

Method

In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add turnip, carrots, celery, and onions. Saute, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes or until onions start to caramelize. Add garlic and sauté for 2 minutes. Add potatoes, stock, water, salt and pepper. Bring to boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 30-35 minutes. If soup becomes too thick, add more water.

Remove from heat and allow to cool briefly. Using an immersion blender (or regular blender), puree soup to smooth consistency. If using regular blender, puree in batches. Once desired consistency is reached, taste for seasoning and adjust as necessary.

Optional: For an extra smooth, rich soup, add whipping cream to pureed soup and heat on low until heated through.

Garnish with fresh parsley and chives. Serve with crusty rolls and a salad for a complete meal.
