Labor Day Dinner

Today, mom has invited us over for dinner, which she toils over every time, holiday or not, guests or not. She willingly inserts extra steps into every recipe just to make it that much healthier and that much more flavorful. Today it is the Korean dish Bibimbap. I have attempted this dish once and will again one day, when I’m ready for it. Every ingredient must be chopped and prepared, carefully seasoned to respectfully blend all to a perfect balance of flavor. There is not a whole lot of room to screw up if you are accustomed to enjoying a really good Bibimbap. Any mediocre take on it, just won’t satisfy in the same way. Most likely, she has left out the beef, which she has been doing in a lot of her recipes lately. Despite this, I can be sure it will be just as amazing and healthy too.  Though a western menu, many of Tasteatery's dishes are inspired by this intricately prepared dish, from the Salad Bowls to the Create Plate concept. We thank mom for her inspiration and for her labor today.

Five Year Old Eats Greens!

Like most moms, I am used to sneaking greens into Genevieve’s meals, or bribing her to eat her veggies.  Lately, however, the lil’ five year old has been munching on kale and spinach leaves (plain!) and begging for Hulk Smoothies.  I really am quite perplexed and ecstatic.

We are working hard to bring you healthy, convenient and environmentally-conscious food all the time!  The counter is being reorganized for the Smoothie menu expansion and the menu is being finalized so the menu boards can be hung up soon.

You may be dismayed to find that we will be discontinuing our burrito menu, but fret not! many of the same ingredients from our burrito bowls will still be available through the CreatePlate section to make your own. Thank you for your patience as we continue to work on getting you the yummies!!

Kinderhook and Hawthorne Valley Farms

This time on our visit to Kinderhook, we toured the farmstay, where you are invited to rent from May til October.  It is a great getaway to relax and soak in the beautiful scenery... oh so tempting...

Hawthorne Valley Farm was another stop, where we enjoyed perusing the Farmer's Market, complete with bio-dynamic products and local produce.

The girls never grow tired of interacting with the animals and we are continually in awe of the dedication of these eco-friendly farmers.
