DARK CHOCOLATE

With Valentine’s Day on the horizon flowers and chocolate are greeting everyone brave enough to venture into a retail store these days. They do after all, communicate love.

While flowers communicate love, the right kind of chocolate can actually love you back. Consider these benefits of dark chocolate from Dr. Axe:

1. Protection from Disease-Causing Free Radicals
2. Potential Cancer Prevention
3. Improved Heart Health
4. Good for Overall Cholesterol Profile
5. Better Cognitive Function
6. Improves Blood Pressure
7. Antioxidant-Rich Super food
8. Potential Vision Booster
9. Protects Skin Heath

Sounds to me like we should all be eating more Dark Chocolate!

GROWER & MARKET NOTES

If you enjoy baking bread you’ll love an article Richter Farms came across last week. A team of researchers performed DNA sequencing on 500 sourdough starters from four continents. The findings were interesting to say the least! Click HERE for the full article.

Sherrie of Nana’s Tea Cakes was SO EXCITED to get her first Market check that we made a moment of it. Thanks to everyone who has welcomed her to M#D with your orders. If you were one of the fortunate ones to get one of her samples yesterday you get what all the fuss is about.

Last week we shared CREAMY TACO SOUP with you. It turns out that the broth/cream cheese combo supports a lot more than just southwestern flavors. One person modified the recipe and got a big surprise when the Mr. of the house actually complimented a dish with collards. It’s crazy what a little kitchen imagination can do! Without further adieu . . .

CREAMY COLLARD SOUP
This is a keto/low carb recipe!

1 lb ground meat
1/3 lb bulk hot sausage
1 medium chopped onion

1 bunch collards, washed and shredded or chopped
1/3 head cabbage, shredded (savoy type works especially well)
1 8 oz brick cream cheese, softened

½ tsp Thyme
½ tsp Parsley

2 ½ quarts Beef Broth
Salt and Pepper to Taste

1. Brown meat and onions
2. Add 2 quarts broth, collards, cabbage, thyme and parsley. Bring to boil then simmer till vegetables are soft.
3. Use an immersion blender to blend cream cheese with reserved broth. Add to soup mixture Continue heating on low till it simmers. Do not boil and do not continue cooking or it will affect the taste of the cream cheese. Salt and pepper to taste.
4. Serve with gladness.

We thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible!
