Creamy, smokey, sweet, spicy. How do you like all four of those adjectives in one dish? Sounds wonderful, doesn’t it? Now what if I say grits? Wait…wait…don’t click the back botton on your browser. Feel better if I say polenta? If not, you still are going to wait to stay on this page. Because this…
Frieda’s Produce
My Visit to Frieda’s Produce HQ
Food blogging definitely comes with it’s privileges. One of them is my working relationship with Frieda’s Speciality Produce. Each month they ship me a few items to taste and trying out for the blog. Those items have included purple snow peas, Green Dragon apples, Organic Finger Limes, and Angelcot apricots (in that case they send…
Frieda’s Purple Snow Peas
A lot of vegetables I never tried until I was an adult. Thus I can remember the exact moment I tried a new vegetable. I can remember my wife bringing home some snow peas from the store. We never had bought them before and she thought it would be fun to try something new….
Small Batch Angelcot Apricot Jam
I have been really getting into small batch jam making. It’s so much easier than the traditional method of making huge batches at once that make a lot but take a lot of time and make a lot of mess. I like being able to use whatever fruit I have on hand to make a…
Where to Find Angelcots® from Frieda’s
For years I let the apricot be an afterthought in my life. I know it’s sad. I think it may have been from some jam I had years ago that I didn’t care for. I can’t remember ever having a fresh apricot growing up. A few years ago I start expanding my horizons in the…
Baby Purple Brussels Sprouts with Polenta
I have to admit I am a sucker for different colored vegetables. Anything that is different from the “norm” I like to mix green beans with wax, I seek out bags of carrots of many colors, I have even been know to purchase the occasional red turnip. I saw purple and yellow snow peas in…
Happy New Year’s Black Eyed Pea Salad
One of the most exciting things around Eat Like No One Else this year has been my relationship with Frieda’s Produce. They have send me some amazing things from finger limes to Green Dragon apples. I was their Featured Blogger for the month of August! To say thank you to them and use up some…
Meyer Lemon Fudge
They say when life gives you lemons make lemonade. Very wise counsel. But I say when Frieda’s Specialty Produce gives you Meyer Lemons make fudge. I know that’s a little different but hey fudge is delicious, and who says it has to be chocolate. Plus it is Christmas time so fudge seemed very appropriate. I researched…
Green Dragon Apples from Frieda’s
Anyone that know me, knows how I excited I get to try a new piece of fruit. I am searching them out all the time. Sometimes when searching for new produce to try, a name can attract my attention. When I saw the Green Dragon apple on Frieda’s Specialty Produce website, I was intrigued. At…
Purple Sweet Potato & Delicata Squash Hash
What is not to love about the sounds of a potato hitting the frying pan, sizzling way to a golden brown, crunchy perfection? Maybe the fact that there is not a ton of nutrition to be had. Could we do better and still be satisfied? Oh yes, yes we can! The autumn season is the…
