It’s almost time for the big game to start and your guests are on their way. If you are like me, you don’t want to spend all your time in the kitchen and miss out the fun.
I still want to serve the gang food that tastes good and is good for them. That’s why I feature Idaho® potatoes as a big part of my game day menu.

Idaho® potatoes are part of a heart healthy diet. These nutritious spuds are fat free with no cholesterol.

Did you know that one Idaho® Potato contains 45 percent of your daily requirement of vitamin C and more potassium than a banana!

Eating Idaho® potatoes gives me a great boost of energy from simple and complex carbohydrates. Something I can use to keep cheering all game long!
That’s why when it comes to potato dishes I only serve my guests genuine Idaho® potatoes. Hi Spuddy Buddy!

Idaho® potatoes are consistent in quality season after season. Their russets bake up fluffier because of the lower moisture content. That makes an Idaho® Potato bar with all the fixings like cheese, broccoli, chili, onions and low fat sour cream taste so good.

Homemade chips made with thin sliced Idaho® potatoes offer guests and family a healthier treat because Idaho® potatoes actually absorb less oil due to their skin make up.

Even fries shrink less and stay crisper because of Idaho® potatoes overall texture.

Today I’m offering a healthier potato salad made with veggies, honey and mustard. I skipped the mayo and of course, used Idaho® potatoes!

Nuts About Wild Blueberry Smoothies #WildYourSmoothie #ad

Nuts About Wild Blueberry Smoothie
Nuts About Wild Blueberry Smoothies

“By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by the Wild Blueberry Association of North America and I am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time.”

Be Nuts About Wild Blueberry Smoothies. This delicious drink is packed with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. A healthy start to your new year.

Do you love blueberries? I do too. I eat those little blue gems baked in muffins, breads and pies. I also toss a few in my pancakes, on oatmeal and salads.

Did you know there are two kinds of blueberries on the market? Most of us are familiar with cultivated varieties of blueberries found in the produce section. If you like those berries, you are going to love their wild cousins.

You never heard of wild blueberries? Then you are in for a treat!
These special berries have a more intense blueberry flavor and twice the antioxidants of regular blueberries.

This is what makes Wild Blueberries so special:

  • More Intense Blueberry Flavor:Wild Blueberries have a more intense flavor than regular blueberries. Wild Blueberry plants grow wild and are genetically-diverse with thousands of interlocking plants spreading naturally across fields called barrens. It’s this diversity that gives Wild Blueberries their complex and delicious flavor — an extraordinary mix of tart and sweet.
  • Leader in Antioxidants:Wild Blueberries have twice (2x) the antioxidant capacity of larger, cultivated blueberries. A growing body of research shows the potential health benefits of Wild Blueberries including gut health, diabetes, cancer and brain health.
  • Frozen at Harvest:The Wild Blueberry crop (99% of it) is frozen. These potent little berries are individually quick-frozen (IQF) at harvest, locking in their nutrition and taste. It’s nature’s pause button.
  • Unique Heritage:Wild Blueberries come from a special place. They are called “Wild” because they are. Wild Blueberries are not planted and occur naturally in barrens and fields in Maine and Eastern Canada that have been here for 10,000 years.
  • Where to Buy:You can find Wild Blueberries in the frozen fruit section of your local grocery store; just make sure the package says “Wild.”

Frozen Wild Blueberries are simply a perfect ingredient for any smoothie. Because they are frozen, you don’t need any ice! Thick, rich wild blueberry based smoothies are a great way to start your day or a quick treat anytime.

Nuts About Wild Blueberry Smoothies mixes sweet, tart wild blueberries with almonds, hazelnuts, hemp hearts and grape juice. A dollop of plain yogurt rounds out this smoothie. No added sweetener is needed!

Enjoy!

Beef Stew with Barley #bestbeef

Beef Stew with Barley #bestbeef

For best results use Certified Angus Beef ® brand

Soup season is my favorite time of year! I love to braise a roast or beef cubes in a savory beef stock with a bit of wine, mirepoix and simple seasonings. A base like this can turn into beef and cabbage, beef noodle soup or one of my go to meals, a hearty beef stew.

Beef Stew with Barley is one of my must have dinner soups. Big steamy bowls of tender beef, mushrooms, carrots, barley and more in a rich beefy broth. A real chill chaser.

My mouth waters just thinking about it! That says a lot because I wasn’t always a big beef eater.
My Mom always cooked her roasts until the meat resembled something more like jerky. Not very appetizing.
I blamed the cooking method for my lack of enthusiasm about beef. Actually it wasn’t the method. It was the beef. Once I tried Certified Angus Beef ® brand things changed.

Certified Angus Beef Brand logo

I only buy Certified Angus Beef ® brand steaks and roasts. Weis Markets always has a great selection of Certified Angus Beef ® brand.

Try this Beef Stew with Barley recipe from the Certified Angus Beef ® brand Kitchen. I’m certain it will soon become one of your favorites too!

Beef Stew with Barley #bestbeef

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 pounds Certified Angus Beef ® sirloin tip, cut into 1 1/2-in. chunks
  • 1 pound crimini or button mushrooms, cleaned
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, rough chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon or large pinch of kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 large carrot, diced
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 1 1/2 cups (or half a bottle) pinot noir
  • 3 cups low sodium beef stock
  • 1 large bay leaf
  • 1/2 cup quick cooking barley
  • 1/2 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Add mushrooms, spinach, garlic, tomato paste, thyme and oregano to food processor. Pulse lightly until vegetables are roughly diced and mixture comes together.
  • Pat cubed meat with a paper towel to absorb excess moisture; this helps beef brown when seared. Season beef with salt. In large Dutch oven or pot on medium-high heat, add one tbsp. olive oil. Working in batches so as not to crowd the pot, brown beef a few minutes on each side. With slotted spoon, remove browned beef and reserve.
  • Add remaining olive oil to Dutch oven, and then the diced onion, carrots and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes. Turn heat down to medium and add mushroom mixture, mixing well with wooden spoon. Place meat back in pan; then add the wine and stock (liquid should cover meat and vegetables). Add bay leaf, cover pot and place in lower part of the oven. Cook for 40 minutes.
  • While beef is stewing, add barley and 2 cups water to a medium pot. Bring barley and water to a boil; lower heat and simmer 10 minutes or until tender. Strain any excess liquid.
  • After 40 minutes, remove pot from oven and stir cooked barley into stew. Return pot to oven so stew can continue to cook 10 more minutes, or if time permits, up to an hour. The longer stew cooks, the more tender the beef will become.
  • Serve stew in a shallow bowl and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
