Foraging for Goldenrod (Solidago)

Goldenrod or Solidago blooms in late summer/early fall across much of North America. It's beautiful golden flowers reflect the golden sun of late summer. Goldenrod is edible and medicinal and can be used as a natural dye!!

Identifying Goldenrod

Goldenrod is a member of the Asteraceae or sunflower family and likes open sunny areas like meadows, fields, and forest openings. The stems are tall and stiff with tiny golden-yellow flowers in a dense, pyramid-shaped, pluming cluster. It's a prolific perennial and can grow 0.5-2m tall.

The leaves vary slightly depending on the species of goldenrod, but they're long, narrow, and taper to a point. The edges can be smooth or slightly toothed, or slightly hairy on the underside depending on species.

Goldenrod in my area likes to grow alongside New England Aster. They make such a beautiful combination of purple and yellow and can aid in identification. If you see one you just might see the other!

Look-Alikes

Goldenrod can sometimes be mistaken for Senecio species like ragwort (left) and groundsel (right). Some Senecio species contain TOXIC pyrrolizidine alkaloids that can cause liver damage. As always please be 100% certain of your identification before harvesting!! That said, senecio's flowers are generally much larger and much fewer than goldenrod's many tiny flowers. They also tend to bloom earlier in the season than goldenrod.

Harvesting Goldenrod

All of the above-ground parts of goldenrod are edible! Harvest by snipping the top of the stems, leaves, and flower heads with scissors (about the top 1/3rd of the plant). The earlier in the blooming season the better! The later blooms tend to be more bitter and can fluff up like dandelions if you want to dry them.

If you're worried about seasonal allergies you should be safe with goldenrod! Goldenrod is insect pollinated so it doesn't need to release pollen into the air.

Whatever you do DO NOT pull up entire goldenrod plants!!! Goldenrod is a massively important plant for hundreds of pollinators including bees, butterflies, beetles, and wasps. Harvest sustainably, no pulling up by the roots, and only snip the tops you'll use!!

You can use goldenrod fresh or dry it by hanging it upside down for about a week (spread it out for adequate airflow!) or in your kitchen oven by spreading in a single layer on baking sheets and baking 4-5 hours at 170F/76C. Store dried goldenrod in an airtight container.

Goldenrod Uses & Benefits

Goldenrod as an herbal remedy is highly anti-inflammatory, great for the kidneys (prevents and flushes kidney stones, helps relieve minor bladder infections), helpful for minor respiratory issues like seasonal allergies and colds, and helps heal minor wounds and swelling when used externally. It's also edible raw or cooked! The leaves can be cooked like spinach or used in lots of tasty fall recipes like this goldenrod cornbread?!? I need it.

Safety Note: Goldenrod has been traditionally used as medicine and is regarded as very safe. That said, goldenrod taken internally has a diuretic effect. If you have any problems with the urinary system or take a diuretic already, PLEASE ask a medical professional before using. Don't use herbal medicines to treat serious health issues or in fragile populations like babies or the elderly without consulting a doctor. I AM NOT A DOCTOR I JUST LIKE PLANTS.

To use your goldenrod medicinally you can make it into tea, tincture, or infused oil. You can also make a goldenrod salve to apply externally!

Goldenrod Tea:

Add 2tbsp of fresh flowers OR 1tbsp of dried flowers to 8oz hot water.

Cover and steep 15-20 minutes before straining.

This tea can be slightly bitter with a sort of anise/licorice flavor. It's great sweetened with a little honey!

Goldenrod Tincture:

Fill a small jar 1/3 - 3/4 full with chopped fresh goldenrod flowers OR 1/4 - 1/2 full with dried goldenrod flowers.

Fill jar with high-proof (40-60%) alcohol like vodka or brandy.

Cap, label, and store out of direct sunlight at least 4-6 weeks. Strain before using.

Your tincture should be good for a year or more. Take a few drops mixed with a spoonful of honey or water. Can be taken up to 3-5 times daily or as needed.

Goldenrod Infused Oil:

Fill a jar 1/4 - 1/2 full with dried goldenrod flowers.

Pour an oil (sunflower, sweet almond, or olive are good options) over the flowers until the jar is full.

Infuse one of 3 ways:

Slow Way - cap jar and place in a dark, cool spot like a cabinet for 4-6 weeks. Strain.

Solar Way - instead of capping the jar cover it with a piece of cheesecloth or scrap of old t-shirt. Set your jar in a sunny window for a few days up to a few weeks. The sun's heat infuses your oil faster! Strain.

Speedy Way - don't cap your jar and set it uncovered in a saucepan containing a few inches of water. Heat on low for 2-3 hours, watching it carefully!! Strain.

Goldenrod Salve: if you made infused oil you can easily make it into a salve!

Add 3.5oz (100g) of your infused oil and 0.5oz (14g) beeswax to a small jar.

Place the jar into a saucepan containing a few inches of water. Heat over medium low until the beeswax melts.

Let cool and apply to minor wounds, sores, swelling, aches & pains.

You can also make a gorgeous yellow or green natural fabric dye from goldenrod!

Fire Cider Recipe 1:

Fire Cider Ingredients

2 cups apple cider vinegar

1/2 to 1 cup honey

1/2 cup horseradish

8 cloves of garlic, chopped

1/2 onion

1/2 cup ginger

1 sliced jalapeño

1/2 cup fresh turmeric OR 1 tbsp dried turmeric (optional)

1/2 lemon (optional)

1/2 orange (optional)

1 tsp peppercorns (optional)

2 whole cinnamon sticks (optional)

2 rosemary sprigs (optional)

4 thyme sprigs (optional)

Directions

Prepare ingredients and place them in a sterilized quart-sized glass jar.

Pour the apple cider vinegar and honey in the jar until all of the ingredients are covered and the vinegar reaches 1/2 inch from the jar’s top. You can use a glass fermentation weight on top to keep the ingredients submerged, but that is just a preference. Shake well. Store in a dark, cool place for a month, shaking daily. It’s in vinegar, so it won’t go bad! Once done, strain, bottle, and label.

Storage: It’s vinegar, so it keeps all winter and early spring (6 months) if left in a cool dark place. Keeps in the refrigerator for up to 10 months. You can take a dropperful every few hours, or I put 2 -3 droppers full into a big mug of hot water and drink that.

Benefits of ingredients

Honey Fermented Garlic

It’s been a running joke in my friend group that I’m probably a vampire (due to long standing dark color patterns in my wardrobe and pale skin) but my love of garlic is one of my biggest defender points to my humanity. 

Honey fermented garlic is one of those beloved folk recipes that are especially amazing to have during cold and flu season. It’s quite a simple recipe that combines two very common kitchen items into a lovely blend of flavors and benefits.

Why Make Honey Fermented Garlic?

Honey is already well known as a natural home remedy for sore throats and pesky allergies. 

Garlic has a long list of medicinal benefits. Ingesting garlic regularly is able to reduce your chances of getting sick, and beyond that it naturally reduces blood pressure and lowers cholesterol.

By mixing honey and garlic together in this lovely little concoction, you not only make it more digestible through fermentation but you’re also combining two potent natural medicinals into one!

Is It Safe?

Lactobacillus, yeast, and acetic acid bacteria are completely safe!

With lacto-fermentation, it’s nearly impossible to make something that will cause bodily harm upon ingestion, due to the bacteria quickly being able to outcompete pretty much everything else and acidify the mixture to prevent spoilage.

Do not use this remedy, or any remedy containing honey with children under 2 years old. A child at this age contains stomach acid that isn’t fully developed yet, and their stomach acts as a low acid environment.

Instructions:

Peel the garlic, trimming it to remove any discolored parts

Press the garlic clove with the side of a knife to gently bruise it

Optional: Once the garlic is in the jar, add about 2 tablespoons of raw apple cider vinegar to the jar at this point Give the jar a quick shake to coat the garlic cloves with cider vinegar.

Ensures that the surface of the garlic starts acidic, which is a precaution against botulism (not very likely, but if you want to be extra careful here’s a step!)

Fill the jar about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way with garlic, then top it off with honey to within an inch of the lid.

Be sure to leave space at the top, as the mixture will bubble as it ferments and you don’t want it to overflow

Cover the jar with a lid and flip it a few times to distribute the honey. Loosen the lid so gasses can escape during fermentation

Bubbles begin to form in the honey after about 24 - 48 hours. After about 3 to 5 days, the garlic should be well fermented. If you’ve made it in the refrigerator, it will take about 2 - 3 weeks for the fermentation process to complete.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can stress cause high cholesterol?

Ans: Yes, one possible cause of high cholesterol is stress. Stress causes the body to release chemicals like cortisol and adrenaline. These hormones can increase the amount of cholesterol, especially "bad" LDL cholesterol that the liver produces.

Stress can also result in unhealthy coping strategies like eating poorly and exercising less, which can raise cholesterol levels.

2. Can high cholesterol be genetic?

Ans: Yes, there may be a genetic component to high cholesterol. A genetic condition known as familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) causes high blood cholesterol levels.

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is unable to be eliminated from the bloodstream by the body in people with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) due to a gene mutation inherited from one or both parents.

3. How long does it take to lower cholesterol?

Ans: Lowering cholesterol takes quite a few times. While medication can produce more immediate changes, changes in lifestyle may take weeks or months to show results. For specific advice or best home remedy for high cholesterol, speaking with a medical expert is necessary.

4. Can dupixent cause high cholesterol?

Ans: Evidence exists to suggest that some patients taking the medication Dupixent (dupilumab), which is prescribed for eczema and asthma, may experience an increase in cholesterol.

People's reactions may differ, yet, making it critical to regularly check cholesterol levels while undergoing treatment. Check the advice and information of a medical doctor for specific information.

5. Does Xeljanz cause high cholesterol?

Ans: Yes, a higher risk of high cholesterol levels has been linked to the medication Xeljanz (tofacitinib), which is used to treat certain autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis.

Patients taking Xeljanz should talk to their doctor about the possible risks and benefits of the medication, as regular monitoring of cholesterol levels is important.

🍎 🍋 🍒 (jakeli but also in general) 🥥 for syb 😈

a;lfda;sdfk thank you liz <3 <3 <3 answers under the cut for obvs reasons

🍎 Favorite type, looks and personality wise? Please specify the trait.

a very funny question considering *gestures to jacob and eli*

looks wise. apparently her taste in men leans more towards the "rugged mountain man" look. strong bodies, thick facial hair, tired eyes. her taste in women veers more on the femme-presenting side. she likes feeling strong and useful...protective. she's a wife guy. few things would make her happier than providing for another woman <3

but her tastes really don't matter because if you're clever and able to challenge her in some way, then odds are she'll be dtf. good banter is one of the fastest ways to get her to invite you to bed :)

🍋 Deep and slow? Hard and fast? What’s your character’s preference?

assuming she's the one being penetrated? Hard and deep. if she can't feel it or isn't walking funny the morning after then it wasn't enough. she likes the feeling of a cock/strap grinding deep inside her as well as thrusts so hard that they make her teeth rattle. bonus points if it's so hard and deep that all she can do is hang on to something for deer life as she gets mercilessly plowed.

assuming she's the one doing the penetrating? she leans more on the deep and slow side. she likes making her partners feel good and taking her time with them. she's a tease when she's on top and likes it when she's able to get her partner squirming and/or bucking against her to get her to go faster.

🍒 Would your character join a threesome if given a chance?

a;flkjasdf well considering she's part of two ot3s (jakesybeli and kitsybjake) she definitely isn't opposed to threesomes or polyamory. but it has to happen kind of naturally. she's incredibly loyal to her partners (assuming they've mutually agreed on pursuing a relationship), and when she was single, she wasn't exactly looking to be someone's third.

but with kit and jacob? well...she has the pre-established working relationship with (and lowkey crush) on kit, and when both kit and jacob get in cahoots and they both focus their attention on her...well...as if she really stood a chance lmao

and with eli and jacob? well, it's more the boys' history together that really makes it a full triangle of an ot3. i mean. a lot of it really is eli and jacob trying to one-up each other for syb's affection (eli genuinely trying while jacob (still trying) is more like 'haha ok honey i'll let you have some fun, but you are mine'). they're both trying to win her over while also engaging in some major "bitter exes with benefits" behavior <3

🥥 Does your character prefer condoms or bareback?

i mean....when having sex with anyone who had a penis, historically she has preferred they use a condom. she didn't want to get pregnant while earning barely enough to support her already existing family (she literally couldn't afford to have another mouth to feed). eventually she got on the pill but even after that she preferred condom usage because she did occasionally hook up with strangers for one-night-stands and didn't want to run the risk of getting an STI while between her combat tours.

but then she was lightly blown up and shrapnel just shredded her uterus and doctors told her she was infertile. she would have kept her condom preference (just because that's what she's used to) but she was having a dry spell after being discharged and then the reaping happened and she just went "well...might as well engage in risky behavior since i don't expect to survive this."

and considering...well...considering the cult is a "no-sex" one (according to joseph anyway) it's not like jacob had protection on hand when she came to him at the end of her Bad Day(TM). so they did it raw and she got to know what it feels like to have someone cum inside her and it gets her eyes rolling back. i really don't think the two of them ever use protection.

also just to branch this answer out even more (lmao whoops) but in the werewolf au, once she and eli decide to go steady, they get tested, and when they both show each other that they're clean, they start raw-dogging it.

so...tldr: on a practical level, syb prefers protection. on a purely physical enjoyment level....girl loves it raw.

"This isn't necessarily an issue of food safety; adulterated honey isn't typically dangerous to eat. But it does mean that customers are paying top dollar for "raw" or "local" honey with purported health benefits that could in fact be nothing more than a mix of different sugars. And perhaps more important than the possible defrauding of the consumer is the fact that according to experts, adulteration is driving global honey prices down, leaving beekeepers, like Hiatt, barely able to sell their honey for a profit."

How to Choose the Healthiest Cookies in India

Cookies have become an integral part of our daily lives, whether as a quick snack, a dessert with tea or coffee, or a treat for special occasions. While cookies are delicious, finding healthier options that are both tasty and nutritious can be challenging. In this article, we will explore how to choose the healthiest cookies in India. Keep reading till the end for helpful tips and recommendations!

What Makes a Cookie Healthy?

When looking for healthy cookies, the ingredients and nutritional profile play a crucial role. Here are some key factors to consider when choosing healthier cookies:

Whole Grain Flours

One of the essential elements of a healthy cookie is the type of flour used. Cookies made with whole grain flours, such as whole wheat, oats, or almond flour, are packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals. These flours provide slow-digesting carbohydrates, which help maintain steady energy levels and promote better digestion.

Natural Sweeteners

Many traditional cookies are loaded with refined sugar, which can lead to several health issues like weight gain, diabetes, and more. Healthier cookies use natural sweeteners like honey, jaggery, coconut sugar, or fruit-based sweeteners. These natural alternatives help retain the sweetness while providing additional nutritional benefits.

Healthy Fats

Healthy cookies should contain good fats like those found in nuts, seeds, coconut oil, or olive oil. These fats offer essential fatty acids that support heart health and brain function. Avoid cookies that use hydrogenated oils or trans fats, which can lead to higher cholesterol levels and increased risk of heart disease.

Minimal Additives

A healthy cookie is free from artificial preservatives, colors, and flavors. Cookies with minimal processing and made from natural ingredients are always a better choice. Look for labels that emphasize the absence of chemical additives, or those that list only familiar, natural ingredients.

Low Sugar Content

Choosing cookies with low sugar content can help manage blood sugar levels and support a balanced diet. Healthy cookies typically contain less refined sugar and may incorporate sweeteners like fruit, dates, or minimal amounts of raw sugar. Always check the label for added sugar and opt for cookies with lower amounts.

High Fiber and Protein

Incorporating cookies that are high in fiber and protein can be a great way to support digestive health and maintain satiety. Fiber-rich ingredients like oats, flaxseeds, or chia seeds aid in digestion, while protein-packed options like nuts, seeds, or legumes can keep you fuller for longer.

Top Benefits of Consuming Healthy Cookies

Incorporating healthy cookies into your diet offers several advantages beyond just satisfying your sweet tooth. Here are some key benefits:

Boosts Energy Levels

Cookies made from whole grains and natural sweeteners provide a quick source of energy, which can be perfect for a mid-day snack. Unlike cookies packed with refined sugar, healthier options ensure sustained energy without the sugar crash.

Supports Weight Management

Low-sugar, fiber-rich cookies can help curb hunger and satisfy cravings without overloading on calories. This makes them an excellent snack choice for those looking to manage their weight while enjoying a tasty treat.

Promotes Heart Health

Cookies that include healthy fats from nuts, seeds, or olive oil can support heart health by providing omega-3 fatty acids and other essential nutrients. Cookies with less sugar and refined flour also contribute to a heart-friendly diet.

Improves Digestive Health

Cookies rich in fiber from whole grains, seeds, or dried fruits support a healthy digestive system. Fiber aids in digestion, prevents constipation, and promotes overall gut health, making these cookies a great addition to your daily diet.

Versatile Snacking

Healthy cookies are not just for snacking. They can be used in various ways, such as crumbled over yogurt, blended into smoothies, or served with nut butter for a more substantial snack. The versatility of healthy cookies makes them a perfect fit for different occasions and meals.

Top Dog-Friendly Spots and Amenities in Northern Ireland for a Perfect Getaway

Introduction:

How about your dream break or local retreat where both you and your dog feel absolutely at home? From luxury dog-friendly cottages, dog-friendly quaint coffee shops, to dog wash stations for good measure, Northern Ireland provides everything that will make the time truly enjoyable for you and your dog. Whether you are looking for a warm and friendly spot to rest, a quiet spot to have your coffee, or service and freshen up your dog, this guide will point you toward the best options.

Luxurious and Comfortable: Luxury Dog Friendly Cottages in Northern Ireland

luxury dog friendly cottages Northern Ireland take center stage when it comes to truly indulgent stays. Properties delight in high-end amenities, stunning views, and welcoming atmospheres for pets. The added amenity is in the blend of elegance and practicality: a comfortable stay awaits both humans and their canine companions. Choose from a range of beautifully appointed cottages where your dog will be treated like royalty alongside you.

What Happens If You Don’t Express Your Dog’s Glands?

If you neglect to express your dog’s anal glands, there are potential risks and consequences that can arise. These include:

Possible impaction: If the anal glands become full and are not properly expressed, they can become impacted. This can lead to pain and discomfort for your dog.

Infection: When the anal glands are not regularly emptied, there is an increased risk of infection. Bacteria can build up, leading to inflammation and potential abscesses.

Sip and Stay: Dog Friendly Coffee Shops

Enjoying a coffee doesn’t have to be dog-free. Many dog friendly coffee shops across Northern Ireland provide indoor, cozy areas where your furry buddy will be welcomed inside with open arms. These places have outdoor seating or special places for the dog to rest while you enjoy a latte or cappuccino, and it’s quite easy to fit your pet into that part of the daily routine without having to miss your favorite places.

Alternatives to Shortbread for Dogs

If you’re looking for safe and healthy alternatives to shortbread for your dog, there are plenty of options to consider.

Peanut Butter Biscuits: Made with whole wheat flour and a hint of honey, these biscuits provide healthy fats and protein for your dog.

Banana Bites: Made with bananas, oats, and flour, these treats offer a sweet and chewy option.

Carrot Munchies: Made with grated carrots and wheat flour, these snacks provide a crunchy and nutritious alternative.

Coconut Cookies: Made with coconut flour and bananas, these gluten-free cookies are both tasty and healthy.

Charming and Welcoming: Dog Friendly Cafe

Eating out with a dog isn’t always easy, but dog friendly cafe options in Northern Ireland make life so much easier. These establishments welcome pets inside and sometimes even offer treats for your four-legged companions. It’s a great way to enjoy a meal or just have a snack with your dog present in a friendly atmosphere.

Other Safe Vegetables for Dogs

Celeriac is a safe and nutritious choice for dogs, but there are other veggies that offer similar benefits. Adding different veggies to your dog’s meals ensures they get a balanced diet. Here are some safe veggies for dogs:

Carrots: Carrots are full of vitamins A, C, and K. They also have beta-carotene, which helps with vision and boosts the immune system.

Cucumbers: Cucumbers are hydrating and low in calories, perfect for dogs watching their weight. They’re also rich in vitamins K and C.

Peas: Peas offer plant-based protein and are packed with vitamins and minerals like vitamin B, potassium, and iron.

Green Beans: Green beans are high in fiber, helping with digestion. They also have vitamins A, C, and K, plus manganese.

These veggies can be given cooked or raw, but skip seasonings that could harm dogs. Always add new veggies slowly and watch for any bad reactions. Adding a mix of safe veggies, including celeriac, can boost your dog’s health and happiness.

Understanding the Costs: Dog Walking Rates

For dog owners needing reliable care while away, knowing the dog walking rates is essential. Rates can vary based on services offered, such as the length of the walk, number of dogs, and special requirements. Many providers offer competitive rates and personalized services to ensure your dog gets the exercise and attention they need.

How to Choose a Dog Walker

When it comes to finding the right dog walker for your furry companion, there are several important factors to consider. We understand that the well-being and safety of your pet is of utmost importance, so we’ve put together some valuable tips to help you make an informed decision.

Experience and Qualifications: Start by looking for a dog walker who has experience in handling dogs similar to yours. They should have a good understanding of dog behavior and basic training techniques. Additional qualifications such as pet first aid certification can also be a valuable asset.

Reliability and Trustworthiness: Trust is a crucial factor when it comes to leaving your beloved pet in someone else’s care. Look for a dog walker who has a proven track record of being reliable and trustworthy. Checking client references and online reviews can give you insights into their professionalism and trustworthiness.

Choosing the right dog walker is a decision that can greatly impact your pet’s well-being and happiness. By considering these factors, you can confidently select a dog walker who will provide the care and attention your furry friend deserves.

Clean and Fresh: Dog Wash Station

Keeping your dog clean is easier with a dog wash station. These facilities are designed to make washing your pet quick and hassle-free. They provide everything needed for a thorough clean, including specialized shampoos and grooming tools. It’s a convenient option to maintain your dog’s hygiene without the mess at home.

Safe Cleaning Alternatives for Dog Owners

While Dettol may pose risks to dogs, there are alternative cleaning products that are safe to use around our furry friends.

One such product is Safe4 Disinfectant Cleaner, a pet-friendly disinfectant that is free from aldehydes, phenols, and alcohol. This non-toxic and non-irritant cleaner is highly effective without harming our pets.

“Safe4 Disinfectant Cleaner is a reliable and safe option for dog owners. It kills germs and bacteria effectively, giving us peace of mind while keeping our dogs healthy.”

For general cleaning of floors and surfaces that our pets frequent, it is recommended to use low-fragrance detergents. These detergents are gentle on our pets’ sensitive noses while effectively removing dirt and grime.

The unofficial end of summer is almost upon us as we prepare to kick back and relax around the barbecue this long Labor Day weekend. Labor Day commemorates the efforts of those who fought for workers' rights during the labor movement of the late 19th century and the benefits and protections we now enjoy as a result.

The first Labor Day celebration took place in New York City on Sept. 5, 1882, with thousands of workers marching in a parade organized by local union and labor organizations. A big outdoor barbecue to symbolize the group camaraderie and unity quickly became a central feature of these large annual gatherings. In fact, the first notable Labor Day barbecue took place in 1888 when the Volunteers Firemen’s Association roasted a 1,200-pound ox in a Bronx neighborhood park.

Over one hundred and thirty years later, the Labor Day barbecue tradition is still going strong as backyard chefs across the U.S. prepare cookouts for family and friends. In keeping with this spirit and in tribute to workers and farmers everywhere, here are some classic grilling ideas to get you cooking with coal this holiday weekend!

Grilled T-Bone Steak It may not be a whole ox, but T-bone steak gives you the best of both worlds with a strip loin on one side and a filet mignon on the other. The bone in the center of the cut is especially useful when grilling, as it helps hold in the flavor and juiciness of the meat as it cooks:

Ingredients

T-bone steaks from Great Joy Family Farm or SOVA Farms

Arlotta Food Studio olive oil

Maplebrook Farm or SOVA Farms butter

Fresh herbs from the farmstalls, finely chopped to mix with butter

Fresh Caradonna Farms chives, finely chopped

Coarse salt & freshly cracked black pepper

T-Bone Grilling Instructions 

Preheat grill to high at 450°-550°.

Brush both sides of the T-bone steak with olive oil.

Season both sides of the steak with sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper.

Place steaks on grill and cook for 4 minutes.

Give the steaks a quarter turn and cook for 2 minutes.

Flip steaks over and cook for 2 more minutes. This entire cooking process will render a rare to medium-rare internal temperature.

Remove steaks from grill and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes.

Pour melted herb butter over top of steaks and sprinkle with fresh chives.

Slice and serve hot.

Fresh Corn Salad This fresh corn salad incorporates the very best of the season’s farm-fresh produce and positively bursts with the essence of late summer. It pairs perfectly with grilled options and balances out heavier main dishes. Plus, it requires zero cooking!

Ingredients

3 cups raw corn kernels (from about 4 Norwich Meadows Farm cobs) 

1 medium Great Joy Family Farm tomato, chopped (about ½ cup) 

¾ cup chopped Caradonna Farms green onion 

1 cup quartered and thinly sliced Norwich Meadows Farm cucumber (preferably English cucumber) 

½ cup chopped Caradonna Farms fresh leafy herbs (choose from basil, dill, mint, parsley and/or cilantro) 

½ cup chopped Great Joy Family Farm radishes 

1 medium Norwich Meadows Farm jalapeño, very thinly sliced 

¼ cup Arlotta Food Studio extra virgin olive oil 

1 tablespoon Arlotta Food Studio wine vinegar 

2 medium Caradonna Farms cloves garlic, pressed or minced 

½ teaspoon fine sea salt 

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste 

⅓ cup crumbled Maplebrook Farm feta cheese

Grilled Plums Your barbecue is already pre-heated so why not conserve some of that energy by using it to grill Caradonna Farms plums or other sun-ripened stone fruit for dessert? The heat will caramelize the fruits’ natural sugars and enhance their embedded sweetness.

Grilled plums are delicious when drizzled with Goode and Local By Don Rodrigo or SOVA Farms honey and enjoyed as a simple light dessert. They will also pair wonderfully with ice cream, Maplebrook Farm ricotta cheese or yogurt. Grilled plums can also be strewn with fresh rosemary or sage, sprinkled with flaky salt, and served as a sweet and savory accompaniment to your grilled main dish.

As we celebrate Labor Day and the unofficial end of summer, we hope you enjoy the last true weekend of grilling season before the weather begins to turn and fall arrives in all its glory. We look forward to seeing you in the farmers market!
