Viva Brazil

In just a few months, the 2016 summer games will convene in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the first time the event has been held in South America. In anticipation of this big occasion, we're headed on a virtual trip to Brazil via our kitchen. We've uncovered three traditional recipes as part of our culinary exploration: Feijoada, (a Brazilian Bean and Meat dish), Salada de Batatas, (a Brazilian Potato Salad), and Brigadeiro, (a Brazilian sweet treat). We've adapted them to our "northern" kitchen and have been enjoying their fabulous flavors. We think you'll like them, too! Bom apetite! I'm sure you've all survived the deep freeze earlier this week. It seems as if winter has finally caught up with Michigan. We like to look at it as an opportunity to prepare and enjoy some of those cold weather comfort foods that are so welcome this time of year. Gather the family around the table for delicious soups and stews, and embrace the frost outside! FRESH BREADS! Many of you enjoyed visiting ACORN FARM last Friday to visit with local baker, Linda Skemp of ABUNDANCE BREADS. You can expect to see her in the store from 11 am to 2 pm for the next few Saturdays, featuring a different selection of breads each week. This Saturday she'll be bringing Carrot Quinoa, French Onion, and Banana Muesli. She's a terrific baker and was inspired to perfect her craft right here at ACORN FARM! SPRING CLASS SCHEDULE We've been enjoying our virtual trip around the world via our cooking classes this winter. We've learned to prepare a variety of new dishes! If you'd like to take a class or two, you can look for our SPRING SCHEDULE due to arrive in your Inbox during the first week of March. It's time to start looking at your calendars!
