Golden Dressing

This dressing is so good you might just find youself drinking it. And why not, when it’s packed with B vitamins, amino acids, and healthy oils?  This recipe is adapted from the  Hollyhock cookbooks. It’s an easy recipe to whip up and double (or quadruple, so you have enough to pour yourself a glass!). Just […]

They’re clearing garbage and old farm machinery from the woods. They’re planting cover crops and the seeds to […]

The first Eat for Equity dinners in Boston were all hosted at the cooperative house where I lived. And in Minneapolis, […]

Chocolate Chip Cookies

You might be thinking, “Just another chocolate chip cookie recipe?” And that’s fine. Go ahead, don’t make these delicious cookies, with a great balance of crisp and chew. But you’ll be missing out. Our trick is to use a blender to cream the butter and sugar and whip the eggs, which helps give the cookies […]
