Super-sweet carrots from RJ Farms
Crisp, fresh and tasty produce…oh my!.. those carrots right now after the freeze are SO sweet! We’ll have a really good selection of produce…too much to list here. For those of you having beef this holidays, try making your own horseradish sauce (we’ll have fresh this Sat. from Maggy’s Farm) Here’s a recipe for it (Dijon mustard is not necessary if you don’t have any). http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/horseradish-cream-sauce-recipe/index.html You can use it on sandwiches too to add some heat, so good for the sinuses!
