Berry Sauce

You might be thinking…what in the world is berry sauce? Well, it is a simple invention that makes homemade flavored yogurt, strawberry milk, and berry ice cream a piece of cake! All you have to do is mix a few teaspoons of the finished sauce into whatever your heart desires, although I do recommend sieving out the seeds for the optimal berry-flavored milk. Please no more Hershey’s “Strawberry Syrup” which is pure high-fructose corn syrup! This berry sauce is also a great topping on pancakes and waffles. The possibilities are endless!

  2. This sauce is heavenly in yogurt with granola. I froze the sauce in ice cube trays. Stick two cubes in one cup of plain yogurt on the fridge overnight and it thaws perfectly.

Inspired by my friend Amy Bishop with Greenbrier Farms (an organically run farm in S.C.), I am excited to share this tasty curry chicken salad recipe with you today. Chicken salad is traditionally made with mayo and unfortunately mayonnaise isn't exactly a real food. The store bought versions are typically made with refined oils and also contain more than 5 ingredients. The homemade versions are more "real food approved" but oftentimes call for raw eggs, which I am on the fence about, plus we eat mayo so infrequently I don't feel (for me personally) it's worth the time to make it from scratch. So I've tried substituting plain yogurt in dishes like chicken salad, egg salad, and deviled eggs without much success because, frankly, I think plain yogurt is rather plain tasting and the flavor - or lack thereof - was a little too overwhelming in these dishes. So I was thrilled to be introduced to the idea of adding curry to chicken salad, because curry has such a wonderful flavor it totally makes up for what the yogurt is missing.

Cooking a whole chicken is economical, easy, and delicious. Once you decide to give up conventional, factory-farmed meat (that's oftentimes laced with antibiotics and synthetic hormones) and switch to the humanely-raised, organic variety instead, it's no secret that the price goes up. To offset this increase in cost you can do two things - select cuts of meat that are less expensive per pound and/or eat less meat all together (when it comes to chicken, the whole chicken is one of the least expensive per pound). For all those who have never cooked a whole chicken before...have no fear because it's easy to do! And this applies even for people like me who don't like to actually handle or touch whole, raw chickens. :) I normally cook whole chickens in my slow cooker, but have recently become fond of roasting chicken as well (details below). How to Safely Defrost Meat Now before you get started, it's important to make sure you aren't trying to cook a chicken that's currently sitting in your freezer...
