tomato salad

this was for dinner last night!

my greens in the garden are looking good.but, last night we skipped the greens and had a salad of tomatoes, vidalia green onions, cucumbers and amazing greek evoo and 12 yr old balsamic vinegar from italy (both available @ hillbilly) i sprinkled on a little "farm" cheese from cackleberry farms.

also, oven roasted grateful growers pork chops and sauteed yellow squash. yummy!

What to do with Grateful Growers Chorizo? Make tacos! Cook chorizo in a skillet and add your favorite toppings to a tortilla. I used Cackleberry cheese, tomato, avocado, cilantro, lime and salsa. All from Hillbilly of course! On the side, I cooked a big pot of black beans. This meal also makes great leftovers.

Last night, we had Chicken Wings from Baucom's Beef. I marinated them in half Marguerite's BBQ Sauce and half Hood's Best Mustard Sauce (both sold at Hillbilly - copied the idea from Kendra and John) Cooked them on the grill - delicious!! We chowed down. My kids LOVED them. Had LOCAL asparagus and roasted parsnips, sweet potatoes, carrots and new potatoes. What a wonderful spring meal - sat outside... enjoyed it!

we had a wonderful day sat. at our spring festival! thanks to everyone that made it happen. we are so fortunate to be able to carry the products of local farmers and food producers. we love to know where our food comes from. we like to know what is in what we eat and meet the people that produce it. thanks to baucom's beef, grateful growers, baker's blessing, queen city sweets, blowin smoke bar-b-que sauce, cackleberry farms, uncle scott's root beer. lot's of great food samples......

Grateful Growers Ground Pork Asian Burgers - seriously these are the BEST... My family's favorite burger. What a great change and they are so juicy and delicious.

1 lb. ground pork
1 egg beaten
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper

Make 4 patties and grill about 7 - 8 minutes each side with grill open. (Get the grill really hot and then turn it down to medium right before you put them on)

Serve on a bun with hoisin sauce and coleslaw.
You can use regular slaw or give it an asian flair with some chopped red bell pepper, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, cilantro and peanuts.
Also great with Sirachi sauce if you like it HOT.

You can also make them with the traditional fixins!

Enjoy! Krista
