Fields of Gold, Sweet As Sunshine
|
| Illinois is the second largest producer of corn in the country, and this week we have some local sweet corn in from Pembroke Township, Illinois. It’s juicy, sweet, and tender. We found a perfect recipe to put it to good use (it’s also delicious on its own).
Some more sungold and cherry tomatoes from Brennemans Country Store (Sumner, IL) as well as yellow slicers, heirlooms, and roma tomatoes from Good Soil Farmers. Ever heard of Jimmy Nardello? He’s so rad he has a pepper named after him! We have some on our shelves from Sola Gratia Farm (Urbana, IL). Plus, local sweet potatoes from Millers Farm and local cantaloupe from Persimmon Ridge Farm. |

| Recipe of the Week
Y’all, we can’t stop eating this charred corn and quinoa salad. The sweet corn from BSRR Youth Center, plus some avocados, peppers, cotija cheese, quinoa, topped with cilantro and lime is a decadent and nutrient-packed summer meal. Serve with chips or on its own. Yum! |

| Love is all you need! Well…plus maybe a smoothie from 4 Suns Kitchen. We’re sipping Tee’s Treat—fresh Orange Juice, mango, and pineapple. Pretty much sunshine in a cup! Grab one for yourself and give it a sip. |
