A Fantastic Fall Appetizer: Tomato Jam By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Sep 22 2009 An unusual and delicious savoury jam that you can use in a variety of ways. The thing I liked best was an appetizer I made of crostini with a slice of brie and a spoonful of homemade tomato jam. The crispiness of the crostini with the creaminess of the cheese (you could use goat cheese, too) and the deep, luscious flavour of the jam was addictive. + READ MORE

Refreshing Watermelon Summer Rolls By Sara Novak IN Food & Health Jul 13 2009 I live for summer rolls and can't help but to order them nearly every time that I go to a Thai restaurant. But you really don't need to go to a restaurant to order them because they are super easy to make at home. In a recent issue of Body and Soul magazine, I found an even better take on this old favorite in the form of a kiwi summer roll. The texture of the seeds with the rice noodles was excellent but we simply don't grow kiwi in South Carolina. + READ MORE

A Ramp, Bacon and Ricotta Tart for Spring By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health May 6 2009 I really wanted to make this part of my series on farmers' market dinners, but sadly, there were no ramps when I went to the market last week. Given that the ramp season is so short, I ended up making this tart anyway. It's still a good savoury tart for spring and you are still getting lots of nutritional value from the spinach. + READ MORE

Make Soft, Spreadable Cheese at Home By Sara Novak IN Food & Health Apr 1 2009 I love when I find a great local cheese to enjoy. We have two wonderful creameries nearby, Split Creek Farms and Happy Cow. Both produce some really good cheese, in fact Split Creek Farms often wins some impressive awards for the best goat cheese in the nation. But the fact of the matter is that it can sometimes be difficult and pricey to find good local cheese. That?s why I learned to make my own. This spreadable cheese is great for guests because you can put it out as an appetizer with whatever cracker, fruit, or bread that you like. + READ MORE

Try Some Samosas, Kenyan style By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Apr 1 2009 I was a bit surprised at first to see how much Indian inspired food there was on my recent trip to Kenya. After a bit of reading, I discovered that when the British colonized Kenya, they brought indentured Indians with them to build the Kenyan-Uganda Railway. Obviously they kept some of their food ideas. + READ MORE

Make Some Inexpensive Chicken Wings for Super Bowl Sunday By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Jan 27 2009 It's always fun to get a bunch of people together to watch a sporting event. These parties are usually pretty relaxed casual affairs, and the food often reflects that. Nobody wants delicate, nuanced flavours and fine wine. They want a bowl of spicy chili and a bottle of beer. I was looking for something a bit lighter as well as inexpensive to eat, so I decided on chicken wings. + READ MORE

Organize Your Time by Using Your Crock Pot By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Dec 22 2008 My daughter has been encouraging me to try doing ribs, even though she doesn't normally eat meat. Most of the recipes I found were had really sweet barbeque sauce or ketchup bases. What I really wanted was a sticky Asian style rib, so I just made it up as I went along. The meat fell off the bone and it was tender and delicious. + READ MORE

Make Your Own Tortilla Chips By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Nov 26 2008 Everyone is talking about hard economic times and we at Planet Green have been getting recession ready for many months. My daughter that suggested tortilla chips were something she would like to learn how to make, so I asked Rebecca Vandevelde, who has worked in Mexican restaurants, for some help. She sent me instructions that were so well thought out and articulated, that I'm just going to turn the rest of the post over to her. + READ MORE
