This post is short, sweet and to the point… Stonewall Kitchen Spicy Corn Relish. Without exception, Stonewall Kitchen’s Spicy Corn Relish has been our best selling, and for good reason. The tangy, spicy, sweet flavor of this relish is most unique and absolutely top-notch. Recently I simply added one can of black beans for a [...]

Easy Polenta Bites
Posted in on the side, tagged polenta on September 6, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Polenta is an Italian staple made from cornmeal. Ever cooked it? Ever even heard of it? I must admit, I’d have to say no to both of these questions before recently. Ok, I had heard of it, but had no idea what it was. While there are several varieties of Polenta available, Good Earth carries [...]

It’s August. It’s vacation time. Literally moments before Dave left for the lake, he told me about a delicious recipe he’d created. I listened intently while taking mental notes of the ingredients and directions. He took off for a well-deserved vacation and I quickly grabbed a sheet of paper and wrote down the details. Here [...]
Perfect for a Sunday Brunch

It’s that amazing time of year when delicious fruit is in abundance. Right now Good Earth’s local cantaloupes are simply divine! I’m often asked to pick a ripe cantaloupe for our customers. The best way I’ve found is to look and smell; it should have an orange-gold color and smell nice and sweet. If a [...]
Caprese Salad with an Asparagus Twist

Ok, can we all acknowledge that was one of the coldest/rainiest/most-bone-chilling Springs we’ve had in a long time? Most of the staff were wearing long sleeved shirts and hoodies at the store until about 2 weeks ago. Thank goodness for higher temperatures. The BEST part about the warmer weather is that it means amazingly delicious [...]

Posted in featured product, off the shelf, on the side, tagged olive oil on April 8, 2011 | 1 Comment »
There are several items at Good Earth that I simply plow through in a very short period of time and Olive Oil is one of them. I use it almost daily in my cooking, not only because I love the taste, but because it’s good for me. Ok, it’s primarily because I love the taste. [...]
Teacher’s Pet – My new favorite
Posted in featured product, on the side on January 12, 2011 | 2 Comments »
I know, I know, I’m not supposed to have favorites. The truth is I genuinely love all of the products we sell. I am happily working my way through the entire store tasting everything I can – all for you, the customer. No really, it’s my pleasure. And yet I currently have a standout favorite [...]
Thanksgiving Classics, pt. 2 – Green Beans with red wine shallot dressing
Posted in on the side, tagged green beans, Thanksgiving on November 12, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
This recipe is definitely a family favorite in our home. In fact, it’s Elise’s “choice vegetable” when I make her birthday dinner. The best part is that it’s so very simple. As anyone who has made a Thanksgiving meal knows, there is a whole lot to do. Simplicity is a welcome feature in my opinion! [...]
Thanksgiving Classics, part 1 – Sweet Potato Casserole

Now that November has arrived, I thought I’d take the next few weeks to highlight a few “classic” Thanksgiving dishes. (By the way, this is by far my MOST favorite time of the year! The leaves are turning, college basketball has begun, and I’ve already started listening to Christmas music – in the privacy of [...]
Apple Potato au Gratin – version 2.0
Posted in on the side, what's for dinner?, tagged apple, potato on October 13, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Ever try a recipe and it just didn’t turn out right? Yep. Me, too. I made this recipe about a month ago according to the directions but it really wasn’t right – at all. It called for too much liquid and not enough cooking time. The result; soupy, crunchy potatoes. Blech. So I revisited the recipe [...]
