Easy Squash Casserole

July 10, 2016 · by Tucker Farms in Recipes

Squash casserole. It’s another summer staple. But this ain’t your momma’s squash casserole. This version is light, healthy, and low-fat. And satisfying. We promise you won’t miss that gunky canned cream of [something] soup, the gobs of cheese, the rich sour cream, or the buttered butter […]

We’ve been eating A LOT of tomato sammies lately. I mean, like, at least one a day and sometimes two or three … ’tis the season, right?! But since we can’t eat a sandwich at every meal (can we?), we’ve been making a lot of […]

July 3, 2016 · by Tucker Farms in Recipes

I love a good soup. Love it. Especially a creamy one that is full of flavor and that I don’t have to chew. And one that can be served hot or chilled? Even better. We are overwhelmed with squash right now, so we are cooking it […]

Who doesn’t love a fritter? Or a Johnny Cake? Hushpuppies? I think we can all agree that crispy, fried cornmeal products are a staple in any Southern kitchen.   But THESE fritters? Y’all … they are crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, and […]

Swiss Chard Salad

June 7, 2013 · by Tucker Farms in Recipes

Radishes

May 19, 2013 · by Tucker Farms in Recipes

Radishes.  They are a strange little vegetable.  The cool, crisp, juicy texture is a stark contrast to the spicy, earthy  “bite” that hits your tongue after the first bite.  Kikki has always been a little perplexed and put-off by the radish.  The flavor-texture combo just […]

Roasted Potatoes with Basil & Arugula Butter

May 19, 2013 · by Tucker Farms in Recipes

Craig loves crispy, fried potatoes, but those are messy, greasy, and not very healthy.  So, we tried to capture the crispiness of fried potatoes by roasting them in EVOO with only a tablespoon of butter.  We also added some basil, arugula, and garlic for flavor […]
