Farm to Table Recipes

Ingredients:
Cheesy Stuffed Banana Peppers (Gluten Free)
yields about 10 (medium to large) banana peppers

1-8 oz. package cream cheese
1 cup plain greek yogurt (Chobani is my favorite!)
4-6 cloves garlic, minced (We love garlic, so we always go for 6 – you decide!)
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. salt
1 cup shredded mozzarella (or Italian blend of cheeses)
1/2 cup grated parmesan, more for sprinkling
10 medium to large banana peppers

Preheat the oven to 400ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Put on some gloves (and wear a mask if you have bad coughing fits like me). Rinse the banana peppers to remove dirt, and cut off the stems. Open up the banana pepper length wise by cutting down through the center of the pepper (only on one side – do not cut it in half!). Remove the seeds as best as you can (or else they’ll be SUPER hot). Place on a paper towel to dry slightly while you mix the stuffing.

In a medium bowl, stir the cream cheese and yogurt together until smooth. Add the minced garlic, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper, stirring until well combined. Add the mozzarella and parmesan, stirring until evenly mixed.

Scoop the cheese mixture generously into each of the peppers, stuffing it down into the tip of the pepper, all the way to the top. Place each pepper, open side up, on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the opening with parmesan cheese.

Bake at 400ºF for 25-30 minutes, until the peppers are soft, and the cheese is browned. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Champaign, OH:  This Market Site

In the message that was just sent, there were a string of question marks. No idea where they came from. Often, certain word docs that are sent to me, do not translate well into this Weblog format.

Sorry…there should have been no question marks. I have no control once the post has been sent.

Champaign, OH:  Message From Swisher Hill Herbs

Good Morning, market customers!

Charlene sent me this blurb about her products, the cold weather, and how they go together. She also is cross promoting with a fellow vendor in her blurb.

In the coming weeks, look for more blurbs, from the individual vendors, and what products they may be talking about for the week.

Today, we give the spotlight to Charlene of Swisher Hill Herbs…

Cold weather and Holidays are right around the corner! Time to stock up on Swisher Hill Herbs favorites and start warming the kitchen with the sweet aroma of hot mulled cider. How about Bearcat Chili, White bean chicken Chili, Nanas Chili , a large pot of Mediterranean vegie Soup or Meatloaf for dinner. Check your spice cabinet, need jar or refills of apple pie spice, ground cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla beans (make your own vanilla). The Oberly Bros have Whole wheat flour to stock your pantry. Great for cookie baking. When you make your grocery list this week, shop the market first!

Thanks for the information!

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
Cosmic Pam

Thank you for shopping with us!

The Cumming Harvest - Closed:  Lettuce Bowls at the Market tomorrow

I’m sorry for this second email but I wanted to make sure I didn’t miss anyone.

As some of you know, I work with the Coal Mountain Elementary School garden. Throughout the year we hold fundraisers to raise money for seeds, soil amendments, and misc garden supplies so we can continue to build and improve the garden for the kids. This year we are selling lettuce bowls, filled of Romaine and Buttercrunch lettuces. These are easy to care for and provide you with a fresh salad as you need it. Just clip mature leaves and the rest of the plant will continue to grow. Keep in a cool shady spot and water as needed to stay moist. I will have these at the market tomorrow so please consider getting one to help out our school garden. Thank you!
