​TODAY'S RECIPE & NUTRITION TIP! Pork Chops with Apples from Pioneer Woman's 60 Easy Apple Recipes to Make after a Trip to the Orchard.  There's a reason why pork and apples go so well together—they balance each other out perfectly! Sweet, savory, tart, and just the right amount of caramelized onions make this dish irresistible. Find your Pork Chops from The Stafford Farms and Apples and Onions from Scenic View Orchards!

Did you know? ​It takes the energy of 50 leaves to produce one apple. Apples are full of fiber and can help you feel full on fewer calories – which can ultimately help in weight management. Plus, fiber fights cholesterol and lowers your heart disease risk. Learn more about apples and their health benefits from Apple Holler's Fun Facts!

This simple recipe highlights the flavors of the vegetables with a touch of added sweetness. Together, they each make the other even more beautiful.

Did you know? "Eating unfiltered, unheated, raw honey produced within your area, (50-mile radius or less) is like receiving a natural anti-allergy shot! Quercetin, a component of honey, has been found in studies to reduce inflammation and pollen allergy symptoms. It stabilizes the cell membranes that release histamine, which triggers allergic reactions. Raw honey also contains bee pollen and bee propolis, which boosts the immune system, and builds immunity to allergens." Learn more,  read "6 Amazing Benefits of Local, Raw Honey."

Bourbon in a glass and grass. ~ I love honest open smiles, kisses from a child, tomatoes on the vine and onions."

TODAY'S RECIPE & NUTRITION TIP!  ​ Plum & Cider Pot Roast Duck from Delicious' 46 reasons why duck shouldn't be a dish you only order when dining out.
Plums with a Duck? Certainly! Find your DUCK from Maryland Duck Company next week when James returns, your plums at Pong's Orchard or Scenic View Orchard, and your potatoes, garlic, shallots at Homewood Farm, Bold Love Farm or Five Points Farm Market & Greenhouse!

"Duck, while often associated with a high fat content, is more nutrient-dense than you might think. It contains mostly healthy unsaturated fat, yet still has a rich, meaty flavor. Most cooking methods involve preparing the duck so that the majority of the fat is rendered off, leaving crispy skin and lean meat. The rendered duck fat can be used as a healthier alternative to butter or other animal fats used in cooking. Duck meat is extremely flavorful. It's an excellent source of protein and healthy fat as well as micronutrients including selenium, iron, and niacin. Duck eggs are also nutrient-dense with a similar nutrient profile to chicken eggs (with higher amounts per egg because duck eggs are larger than chicken eggs.)," ~ Duck Nutrition Facts & Health Benefits from VeryWellFit.com.
