Health & Recipes
The Co-op is filled with folks that have a variety of food and nutrition knowledge, as well as how herbs and supplements can enhance ones health. In this section of our Web site, we'll provide updated information on food and nutrition as well as showcase the many healthy recipes found at the Co-op. Check back to this section often as we'll continue to grow and expand the content. If you have a favorite recipe to share, let us know.
All of our recipes are tested by our Food Education Coordinator Caroline Homan. Caroline works to find recipes that include local ingredients, are easy to prepare and affordable. Plus all of the ingredients in our featured recipes can be found at the Co-op. Bon Appetit!

Herb of the Month: Kava (Piper Methysticum)
In our fast-paced society, we all are affected by stress and anxiety from time to time. Hopping on an airplane or speaking in front of a large crowd are a couple of examples of activities that might have your heart beating a little faster. Beyond a racing heart, stress may lead to muscle tension, insomnia, or even a panic attack. Kava is a great remedy for reducing the many uncomfortable symptoms of stress and allowing you to cope with these difficult situations.
Fresh Berry Pudding Cake
As if by magic, this batter separates into a layer of cake on the top and a layer of pudding on the bottom, with berries throughout (it would be great with peaches, too). Serve room temperature or chilled with freshly whipped cream on top.
Zucchini Ragout with Bacon and Tomato
This French-style zucchini stew is delicious as a side dish, served on top of couscous, pasta, or grilled or toasted bread rubbed with a garlic clove.
