…ng is covered under the warranty…) For our first recipe using our Blendtec, we decided to make a delicious asparagus soup to have with dinner. We actually saw a recipe by Giada on The Food Network one day, and my aunt and grandmother had made asparagus soup in the past that was quite tasty. We decided to take our knowledge of a simple asparagus soup, and create a delicious one on our own. *For those of you without a high speed blender, we o…

The recipe we are sharing with you today is one that goes back many, many years in my family. This soup is an altered version of the classic chicken soup that my great great grandmother made. When she made this soup she, of course, didn’t use Trader Joe’s chicken broth, but she used a whole chicken and water to make her own stock. The recipe presented to you today was created by my Grandy Kyp. Using the Trader Joe’s broth reall…

…pe with prosciutto: Prosciutto e melone . Mmmm, it brings back good memories. Here we will be lightly sauteing asparagus in a bit of olive oil, adding in some roasted yellow peppers, wrapping it all up in a slice of prosciutto, and topping with a little bit of zested parmesean cheese (one of the few recipes here in which you’ll see us use dairy.) Ingredients: 1/3 lb Prosciutto, sliced thinly 1 bundle (1 lb) of Asparagus 1 small jar of o…

…y our assistant Kara came over and she tasted it, and loved it as well. A few things you should know about this soup. It really needs cream. Like really needs cream. I know coconut milk is the non-dairy substitute of choice for things that need cream, but I really don’t think coconut milk will cut it for this soup. Recently I have found that I am just not a fan of using coconut milk in soup to replace cream, but if dairy makes you really s…

…bird, seasoned simply with olive oil, salt, pepper, and fresh rosemary. We decided to accompany it with roasted asparagus, and our classic cauliflower rice. This meal was majorly satisfying, and provided some great leftovers, too. Ingredients: 6-7lb Turkey Breast Rosemary Olive Oil Kosher salt & Pepper 1 lb Asparagus Process: For the Turkey If frozen, defrost turkey breast. Best done by placing in refrigerator at least 24 hours in adva…

…stress. Plus of course, not the best food quality (no home cooked meals). Bill and I were really craving tomato soup, and he was sick with lots of nose blowing so I wanted to avoid dairy. This was a good thing, and a bad thing. Good because we have gotten several questions regarding whether our Yorkshire Puddings from Gather would work with coconut milk instead of heavy cream. The unfortunate part was that I really wanted creamy tomato soup, and…

We recently had the opportunity to try some of Tropical Traditions Green Label Virgin coconut oil. We have loved every product that we have tried from Tropical Traditions, so we were really eager to try out their coconut oil. Coconut oil is our staple cooking fat in our home. Coconut oil does not have an overpowering coconut flavor, so it is really ideal for all cooking. The slight hint of coconut flavor adds even more dimension to the dishes…

…iewed it yet, so we got it back out. Bill picked the recipe, and I was so excited to make it: Grilled Salmon and Asparagus Frittata. YUM. It was seriously YUM (not the fake sort of Yum). We picked up some wild caught salmon from Whole Foods, as well as some organic asparagus just for this recipe. Summer time is always the perfect time to enjoy fish, so this recipe was a great choice for us. It was also simple to make, which we always love. &nbs…
