| May 22 | 2023 SEASONAL RECIPES + BREAD/PLANT SALE Warm weather produce is finally starting to roll in, and we couldn't be more thrilled! We may have to wait a bit for corn and okra, but summer squash, berries, cucumbers, and local broccoli harvests are here. For our seasonal recipes I decided on a couple of great breakfast bakes since we are having a 40% OFF sale on all of our frozen Dukes Bread loaves; perfect for casseroles! Photo: Laughing Spatula Blueberry + Cream Cheese French Toast Casserole Goodness gracious this looks like something I could eat every day. Our frozen Dukes Bread (subbed for French bread) is perfect for breakfast casseroles, and we have everything you need to make this scrumptious dish, except cornstarch: fresh local organic blueberries, Dukes sourdough bread ( frozen 40% off ), organic cream cheese, local pasture raised eggs (try duck eggs for this one!), local pasture raised half & half, organic Fair Trade sugar, organic cinnamon, organic vanilla extract, and organic salt. Pure local maple syrup tops off this dish. You can find the full recipe here . Photo: Farmhouse on boone Sourdough Breakfast Strata This is another great breakfast bake that you can make ahead of time and in bulk so that you don't have to think about what's for breakfast every morning. We have everything you need, including vintage refurbished cast iron skillets if you don't already have one (of course, this recipe does well in a regular casserole dish): frozen Dukes sourdough bread ( frozen 40% off ), local pasture raised eggs, local pasture raised milk, organic black pepper, organic herbs (dried or fresh), pasture raised breakfast sausage, local cheddar cheese, and organically grown Bradford Farm spring onions. We have great organic ketchup and local hot sauce that are the perfect pairing for this casserole. You can find the full recipe here . Beef + Chorizo Burgers w/Grilled Seasonal Veggies This recipe comes to you from our local NC pasture raised beef and pork distributor, Firsthand Foods (Durham, NC). It is a creative blend of ground beef and pork chorizo sausage that is sure to be a new favorite this grilling season. Recipe: Combine 1# ground beef, 1# chorizo, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1 tsp salt + 1/8 tsp black pepper in a large bowl. Shape mixture into patties and grill or cook in a cast iron skillet. Build your perfect burger with desired toppings: fresh local tomatoes; organic fair trade avocados; Lusty Munk Mustard; organic ketchup; organic local kraut; Ashe County cheese; Chaza brothers southern hot sauce; and local lettuce. All together on a Dukes sourdough bun! For our non-meat eaters, try this recipe with a plant-based No Bull Burger (Charlottesville, VA). Either way, these burgers go great with grilled seasonal veggies: zucchini, yellow squash, red onion, and red beets. 30% OFF ALL VEGETABLE/MELON PLANTS We have an even better plant sale for you this week.
