PHILADELPHIA’S THIRD GIANT HEIRLOOM MARKET™ – FEATURING UNDERGROUND TAPROOM – TO OPEN NOVEMBER 15 IN NORTHERN LIBERTIES
Popular with neighbors in Graduate Hospital and University City, new urban-focused format advances company’s strategic growth
CARLISLE, Pa. (October 24, 2019) – GIANT Food Stores announced today it will open its new GIANT Heirloom Market™ in the Northern Liberties neighborhood of Philadelphia on Friday, Nov. 15 at 8 a.m. The two-level 13,000-square-foot store, at 1002 N. Second St., is the third GIANT Heirloom Market to open in the city this year. Highlights of the new location include an underground taproom and gaming area, a first for the company.
“Much like Philadelphia’s story continues to unfold, so does the story of GIANT Heirloom Market, and our new store in Northern Liberties is the next exciting chapter,” said Nicholas Bertram, president, GIANT Food Stores. “We continue to learn, and our new location will bring new innovations while featuring what customers love most about GIANT Heirloom Market - fresh produce, locally made products and our Nature’s Promise brand.”
Tommy McClain, a grocery veteran with more than 20 years experience, has been named manager of the Northern Liberties GIANT Heirloom Market. McClain, who joined GIANT in 2016, has played an integral part in the opening of both the Graduate Hospital and University City locations.
“Northern Liberties is always buzzing with activity and that’s especially true at the corner of North Second and Wildey Streets as we get ready to open the doors to our newest GIANT Heirloom Market next month, just in time for the holiday season,” said McClain. “We’re looking forward to getting to know our new neighbors, introducing them to all that GIANT Heirloom Market has to offer and serving families in Northern Liberties.”
The Underground: A Place to Sip, Savor and Socialize
Unique to the Northern Liberties GIANT Heirloom Market is “The Underground,” a taproom in the lower level. Windows in the floor of the grocery store on the main level will offer a peek into the taproom below to encourage shoppers to check out The Underground. This space will offer more than 40 craft beers, wines, hard seltzers and hard kombucha on tap, plus a gaming area with classic arcade games, shuffleboard and a Scrabble Wall. Customers can sample an ounce or order a full pour of their beverage of choice from touch screens above each tap. All offerings in the taproom are also available to go.
“As we created each GIANT Heirloom Market, we listened to the community and let their feedback guide our plans,” added McClain. “In our conversations, they told us they enjoyed having that third place away from home and work – a place to unwind, get a casual bite with friends, maybe have a drink or play a game. The Underground is our response to their wishes.”
Focus on Fresh and Local
Situated across from the Piazza, the store will offer this energetic neighborhood a wide selection of high‐quality, fresh, local, and seasonal foods, convenient grab-and-go meals, and a large gluten-free section. The curated selection of wine and beer comes complete with a rapid bottle chiller. The store will also highlight GIANT’S private-label brand Nature’s Promise®.
Like the first two GIANT Heirloom Markets, the Northern Liberties location will feature Philadelphia‐area food purveyors including:
· Claudio Specialty Foods
· High Street on Market
· Isgro Pastries
· One Village Coffee
Additional features of the store include:
· Boar’s Head deli products
· DIY olive oil and vinegar blending station
· Easy self-checkout stations, all named after local streets
· Gourmet cheese section with pairing recommendations
· High Street on Market pretzel cart
· Kombucha on tap
· Large produce and plant-based food departments
· Sampling stations
To meet the needs of its on-the-go customers, the store will also offer a number of technology-driven conveniences. Through GIANT DIRECT, customers can access tens of thousands of items found in GIANT stores, all of which can be easily ordered online for next-day pickup or delivery. Customers can also find meal inspiration, build a shopping list and check items off as they shop with the Scan It! Express mobile app, saving time and money.
The store will operate 7 a.m.-10 p.m., seven days a week and will also employ a talented team of more than 50 partners who are passionate about food and are willing to help customers find fresh quality products.
The Story of GIANT Heirloom Market
GIANT Heirloom Market is a new store concept, format, and product mix specially designed for urban neighborhoods. GIANT Heirloom Market was the result of intense local focus group sessions, market research, and format exploration. While listening to the community’s needs to determine the store’s product variety, inspiration was also found abroad at contemporary, small grocery stores throughout Europe and Amsterdam.
The GIANT Heirloom Market format blends modern innovation and community focus, while delivering the quality expected by GIANT, to bring real, better-for-you food to its neighbors. Although GIANT Heirloom Market has a smaller footprint than other GIANT stores, the product selection, store layout, and technological upgrades have been thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of today’s city-dwellers.
The first GIANT Heirloom Market opened January 25 in the Graduate Hospital neighborhood in Philadelphia at 2303 Bainbridge Street and the second opened August 2 in University City at 3401 Chestnut Street. One more location – in Queen Village at 201 South Street – is also planned.

We all love eating a snow cone, but we also know that these snow cones are really unhealthy and full of sugar. And, that those people that are on a diet, or that has diabetics can’t really eat and enjoy a snow cone. However, luckily there are some great ways that you can make a healthy snow cone from real fruit, without adding extra sugar.
And, the best thing is that you don’t really need to have one of the best snow cone machine for home use to make these healthy snow cones. You can also use your blender for making the crushed ice.
The first way that you can have a healthier snow cone, is by adding fruit juice instead of the normal snow cone syrup. There are many different fruit juice flavors that you can use that are healthy.
You just need to look at the supermarkets for the concentrated fruit juices that are sugar-free. There are also some juices that you can use that are safe for people with diabetics. If you don’t find many flavors in the shops that are sugar-free, you can always look online and buy concentrated, sugar-free fruit juices online.
Making your own fruit juices
If you love making your own fruit juices, and you have some great recipes, then you can always use these recipes for your snow cones. And, if you don’t have your own recipes, you can always search online for the best possible juice recipes that you can make yourself.
When you search for these recipes, you just need to remember that you want to make concentrated fruit juice and not the normal fruit juice. The crushed ice, is the substitute for the water that you added to the fruit juice.
Using fresh fruit
If you love making smoothies, you can use these recipes for making your healthy snow cones. You are blending fresh fruit with some honey and add it over the crushed ice. With this option, you can make many different flavors and enjoy a snow cone, without all the sugar and kilojoules that you are consuming.
You can use fruit like watermelon, strawberries, grapes, peaches and even oranges. For the best taste, you need to freeze the fruit, before you blend them and adding it to the snow cones. These fruits are just a couple of examples that you can use. There are so many different flavors and combinations that you can use. Many people think that they need to have the best snow cone machine to be able to make snow cones, but you just need to have a great blender and some great concentrated juices or syrup.
We all like eating a snow cone during the hot summer days, but not all of us like the sugar and the kilojoules that come with enjoying a snow cone. But, you can always skip the syrup that snow cones are made of, and replace it with healthy fruit juices or even fresh, blended fruit. This will make just as great snow cones as the normal snow cone syrup that you can buy. But, with the difference that with the fruit juice, you are only eating a healthy version of the snow cone.

Traditional food in Tanzania is very different from what I am used to in the United States. Today, Pina the housekeeper/cook at the MAD guesthouse gave us a cooking lesson. Mary (one of the MAD students) and I went shopping at the local vegetable stand for the ingredients. We made Chipsi na Mayai (Tanzanian Omelette). It is an omelet with French fries cooked in it. Similar to a Spanish tortilla. First, we peeled the potatoes, cut and fried them. Then we cracked eggs into the fries. It was an easy meal to cook and was delicious! I’m excited to go home and show my friends and family my new skills.

When I was 12 years old I am very fond of eating chocolates and ice creams like all the kids. But my mom won’t allow me to eat more than one chocolate a day. I do not the reason when I was a kid but now only I come to know that chocolates and ice cream increases our fat which leads to obesity. But still there are many people who cannot eat what they want due to their fat. Maintaining diet is a very difficult job. Diet pills are the effective way to reduce your fat. The new diet pill named atro-phex is now a leading fat reducing pill in the market. Atro-phex pill burns the fat very fast and the five complex of the pill is very effective. If you intake these pills then you can feel the changes in your body within a week. You become lean so faster and the new look will surprise your relatives and neighbors. Atro-phex pills are less in cost and they also offer 100% money back guarantee.


Read any restaurant review in your local or national newspaper and it will tell you about the presentation and the quality of the meal, the culinary skill that has gone in to it, the decoration and comfort of the restaurant, and the customer service.
What you will rarely find is any reference to the hygiene standards and the likelihood that any meal consumed there will leave you with a debilitating illness. Of course, it is entirely likely that the reviewers have, very sensibly, already decided that they wouldn’t go to any restaurant that didn’t have a high hygiene rating. That’s certainly what I would do.
Food safety officers from local councils inspect restaurants and take-aways to check that food is safe to eat. At each inspection, they will be checking how hygienically the food is handled, the physical condition of the premises, and the processes used ensure good hygiene is maintained. That’s the basis on which an assessment is made and a rating is given.
Ratings go from 0 (urgent improvement is required) to 5 (hygiene standards are very good). Every business selling food should be displaying a sticker telling you the rating although, extraordinarily, this is still voluntary! You can also find out the latest ratings for any food premises in the UK at www.scoresonthedoors.org.uk/ where you can also find an App for your phone.
What has shocked me this week is the revelation that a company that describes itself as ‘a top 100 FTSE listed company’, ‘a world leader in online and mobile food ordering’, and ‘on a mission to create the world's greatest food community’ has so little regard for your health.
The company’s platform includes and promotes more than half of the restaurants and take-aways in the country with a ‘0’ rating. But it doesn’t tell you that these restaurants have been independently rated as requiring ‘urgent improvement’ to their hygiene standards if they are to remain in business.
However, you will find ratings for each premise which run from 0* to 6*, with the vast majority rated 4-6*…including those restaurants independently rated ‘0’ for hygiene and food safety. Yet, as industry experts have confirmed, it would be quick, easy and not expensive for the platform to display these independent ratings. I leave you to speculate about the reasons why the company has chosen not to do so.
There are lots of excellent restaurants and take-aways whose owners and staff take food hygiene very seriously and who should not be undermined by those who show such a callous or unprofessional disregard for our health. Choose them for your next meal.
Meanwhile, until this ‘world leader’ takes our health seriously, my advice is JUST don’t EAT!


Here is a video that explains in the most simplistic way, (the way only a kids show can do it) about the process of making chocolate and the fermented cacao bean. Remember our cacao beans after drying in the warm sunny Caribbean sun are then packaged and shipped to you guys, keeping it a raw food.
Archive for the ‘Cacao’ Category
This is a Colombian dish, sort of like little cocoa cakes. Again, notice the use of salt along with the cocoa, to bring out its full flavor!
Preheat oven to 375F. Beat butter until creamy. Add agave nectar and continue to beat until light and very fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, again beating well each time. Combine cocoa, flour, baking powder and salt. Mix dry ingredients then add to egg mixture. Add milk. Beat until smooth. Add vanilla and beat well.
Transfer resulting batter to greased, floured muffin tins. Each cup should be about 2/3 full. Bake 20 minutes until toothpick comes out clean. Remove from tins and cool on wire racks.
Cacao nibs are the roasted, chopped bits of cacao seeds that are the fundamental element of chocolate. They have a strong chocolate aroma and nutty nuances. In this candy, they are caramelized with sugar to produce a crunchy, darkly sweet snack that is addictive on its own, and a great addition to truffles, barks, and brittles.
1. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Place the butter on a dish or slip of parchment near the stove.
2. Place the nibs and the sugar in a small saucepan and heat them over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Soon the sugar will start to stick together and form larger clumps. It is normal for the mixture to give off a little smoke during the cooking process.
3. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until the sugar liquefies and there are only a few specks of unincorporated sugar. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the butter immediately, stirring well.
4. Scrape the candied nibs onto the prepared baking sheet, separating them as much as possible. Allow them to cool at room temperature before breaking them apart by hand. Store in a dry Ziploc bag or airtight container. Do not refrigerate.


There are many ways to make pizza, and each variable presents a distinct contribution to the pizza’s overall taste. One major variable is the oven in which you make pizza. The most common types of ovens are gas and electric. Let us understand the differences between the two.
- Electric pizza ovens – An electric oven is more modern and easier to use, but more expensive to purchase outright. It is large and can accommodate different types of pans. It renders the pizza a uniform, similar taste, so it may not be ideal for specialized crusts, types, and flavours. It requires less time and labour to operate overall, which makes it perfect for busy restaurants.
- Gas pizza ovens – A gas oven costs less than an electric oven. It’s more popular because it’s cheaper to buy and maintain. Gas ovens may be harder to operate and require more labour and time, but they offer versatile options for pizza making. They’re excellent for home use or small restaurants.
Gas is generally cheaper but not available everywhere like in cruise ships, while electricity is readily accessible but regulated by local utilities. Each oven presents unique advantages, so the final decision depends on your personal preference. Electric ovens are ideal for mass-produced pies with standardized flavour. Gas ovens make custom orders easier and they add a different flavor and texture to the crust.
But whichever you choose, Thermarite pizza stone is best and versatile for all types of ovens.
Thermarite is a high density, specially formulated Cordierite that is super-heated to over 2,000F and is engineered to last: high durability, high heat transfer, and absorbs more moisture giving you the best crispy crust. It also does not give odour when heated as it vaporizes all organic matter. Thermarite shields the pizza from the intense heat of the grill and is excellent for both gas or charcoal grills and ovens.

Smoked Salmon on Potato Pancakes
Potato pancakes make a wonderfully delicious bed for Salmon. This time I used a package of smoked Nova.
What you'll need:
For the pancakes I used instant mashed with enough water to soften them up a bit. A little flour and a couple of eggs. Mix together in a bowl. Then fry them up in oil in a skillet until they're golden.
When done, arrange the pancakes on a plate then top them with the salmon. Add a dollop of sour cream and a healthy spoon of caviar on top of that. Garnish the plate with lemon, onions and capers.

A few nights ago I was sipping on Cabernet and wrapping wontons with one of my best friends when it finally dawned on me… cooking is a lot like crafting. I like both to be aesthetically pleasing while also being of substance. And they’re both fun. It’s the care put into each step that makes something truly awesome in the end. This realization made me think, “Man… if I treat cooking like a DIY tutorial, I can make anything.”
And then the wine buzz wore off and I realized that ingredients like “pork rind jelly” (thanks, Emily!) still freak me the heck out. Not because I wouldn’t eat it (please), I just don’t know where to find such a thing. I mean the Asian store for sure, but I’d be in way over my head. My word of advice to fellow novice cooks… start with simple recipes and work your way up or you’ll psych yourself out like I tend to do.
Anyway, I am lucky to have a boyfriend (who shall be dubbed “E” from this point on) who loves to cook and has somewhat eased my insecurities in the kitchen. Early on in our relationship I assumed the role of sous chef, and I dig it! It’s so fun watching the wheels in E’s head spin as he scans our inventory, sometimes picking out the most random combos.
Me: “Seriously, what are you planning to do with that bottle of Pepsi and an apple?”
E: “HUSH OH YE OF LITTLE FAITH” (not a direct quote but more or less) (and also in my defense I was more curious than questioning)
Our meals are never crazy elaborate but they’re healthy/inventive/fun + collaborative, making cooking one of our favorite things to do together. However, he does question my combinations of food sometimes (what’s wrong with chicken salad + brussels sprouts + a side of rice? NOTHING), so I like to experiment while he’s away on business and then hit him with an awesome recipe when he comes back home. POW!!!!!
Which finally brings me to: Honey Sriracha Tofu + Roasted Brussels.
I’ll give you my recipe for the roasted brussels in a bit. Real simple, can’t mess them up if you tried…. unless you get super distracted. USE YOUR TIMERS, (E) PEOPLE.
As for the tofu, the recipe actually comes from a delightful blogger named Caroline aka Pickled Plum. I loved her recipe because:
A. It’s delicious
B. The recipe is super simple and easy to follow
C. The results turned out great. Any Pinterest recipe that turns out as-advertised is awesome in my book!
Keep reading for my fail-proof brussels and some result pics. Make the brussels first because they take longer than the tofu. Click here for her Honey Sriracha Tofu recipe.
Roasted Brussels sprouts
– 1 pound of brussels
– 1 tablespoon minced garlic (or more if you want it to be extra yum)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– sea salt to taste (I used garlic salt because it has garlic in it and I can’t get enough)
– cracked black pepper to taste
– lemon juice to taste
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees
2. Wash and then trim bottom of brussels sprouts, slicing each in half top to bottom (or quarters if you have huge ones)
3. Place chopped brussels in large bowl and mix in the rest of the ingredients, tossing thoroughly
4. Spread evenly on foil-covered baking sheet and pop in the oven for 20 minutes (or more if you like them super crispy… just check on them from time to time)
Thanks for the delicious recipe, Caroline!


Char Koay Teow
The forever aromatic, rich garlic and famed Penang Char Koay Teow makes foodies all over Malaysia hold this delicious dish in owe. Around the world you can find Char Koay Teow eating house bearing the tile “Penang Char Koay Teow” so as to attract customers based on the pledge of a snack of Penang famous street food. The mystery behind a plate of appetizing Char Koay Teow depends on the heat of the wok: the higher the heat, the more savory the koay teow. The flat rice noodles are fried in an iron cast wok over very high temperature to be able to produce a marginally burned and smoky spicy. Experienced cook will add oil into the wok and followed by a small amount of minced garlic and fresh prawns. Next, noodles are added in, followed by a dash of seasoned soy sauce, egg, chives and bean sprouts. The final ingredient is the cockles. There are some restaurants will add crunchy bits of lard and slices of pork sausage in their Char Koay Teow. So, muslims need to pay attention for the halal sign before ordering your food. In Penang, Char Koay Teow with big prawns normally cost RM7.00 to RM9.00 per plate.
Chee Cheong Fun
Chee Cheong if pronounced in Cantonese means intestine of the pork, whereby Fun means the rice noodle. Many people will be curious why this delicious food consist of such funny combination. I would think that because the appearance of this snack looks familiar to the intestine of pork in some ways. Chee Cheong Fun was elected as the 7th Must Eat Hawker Food through an online pool on the VisitPenang website in 2009. Chee Cheong Fun is made of rice flour that is steamed and rolled up to approximately 10cm length, hand-sliced and served together with a mixture of different pastes and sauces. The sauces and pastes consist of shrimp paste, a reddish sweet sauce, chilli paste, sprinkled with roasted sesame seeds to bring up the aroma and as a garnish as well. Among all the sauces and pastes, shrimp paste (called hae ko in local dialect) is the most popular flavor among all and often receives great demand from the customers because of its unique taste of fishy flavor without leaving stubborn fishy odor in your mouth. Normal price of a plate of Chee Cheong Fun cost about RM2.00 to RM2.50.
No Penagites will be ignorant of this remarkable food if are asked of it. Penang Assam Laksa is a Halal dish and was ranked the 7th in CNN’s “World’s 50 Most Delicious Foods” in 2011. A perfect trip to Penang is always completed by trying this heavenly taste of Penang signature. Asam Laksa is the only noodle dish in Penang that has a fish-based soup. The soup base is cooked with boned mackerels and stewed together with chilies, lemongrass and assam (tamarind). This spicy appetizing soup is served with thick rice vermicelli and often garnished with finely chopped ginger flower bud, cucumber, onion, red chilies, mint leaves, and sprinkled with the savory shrimp paste ( called hae ko). Normal price for a bowl of Penang Laksa is about RM3.00.
We have tasted the hot, spicy and salt dished as above. What about sweet dessert? Chendol is definitely an answer for the dessert fans. Cendol is a rejuvenating dessert that gives a sweet relief from the tropical Penang heat. Cendol has a colorful look – green, red and crystal ice.
The Cendol noodle is made from rice flour and gets it natural green color from a local herb called “pandan”. A bowl of Cendol is firstly filled with finely trimmed ice, red beans and the molasses is added into the bowl. Next, add one or two big scoop of Cendol into the bowl and finally followed by a small amount of fresh coconut milk. A bowl of Cendol cost about RM1.50 to RM2.00.
Roti Canai is a national favorite in Malaysia. The Roti Canai is very much like Danish pastry, is soft, buttery and fluffy on the inside but crispy and flaky on the outside. It is made from eggs, wheat flour, vegetable fat and water, the dough go through an excessive flow of kneading , tossing, spinning in the air until it becomes a very thin sheet. Then, it is folded into a circular shape. Roti Canai is normally served with dhal, chicken curry or anchovy sambal. A plate of Roti Canai usually cost around RM1.00.

The first official International Coffee Day takes place on the 1st October, as appointed earlier this year by the Executive Director of the International Coffee Organisation. Didn’t know that was a thing? No, us neither, but we’ll hop on board any opportunity to celebrate coffee!
So what actually is International Coffee Day?
Quite simply, a day to celebrate all things coffee, and to support the millions of farmers who depend on your morning pick-me-up to make a living. The ICO have even teamed up with Oxfam to form a campaign based around the Neapolitan tradition of ordering a ‘caffé sospeso’ – paying for two coffees but only receiving one. This kind gesture means that there is a paid-for coffee available when a person in need comes into the coffee bar.
The campaign, “Caffé Sospeso Against Poverty” will enable coffee lovers to show solidarity with smallholder coffee farmers by donating the value of an additional cup of coffee to Oxfams’ work with farmers. You can look out for all kinds of events taking place around the UK to celebrate International Coffee Day (including special deals and offers!), or why not extend International Coffee Day into a Coffee Week with some of these delicious recipes and reasons to love coffee!
- Coffee was discovered by goats
No, not really, but according to many historians coffee was discovered in Ethiopia after a herder discovered increased energy and ‘dancing’ in his goats after they consumed coffee plants!
- Drinking coffee can boost your metabolism
Studies have shown that caffeine can cause an increase in metabolic rate by 3-11%, likely to be caused by the stimulant effects of caffeine on the nervous system, which sends signals to fat cells telling them to break down fat. However this increase in metabolic rate is sadly only a short term effect of coffee consumption! Still, worth a try…
Studies have shown that experiencing the scent of coffee stimulates different levels of activity in 17 genes in the brain. In fact, there are around 800 compounds in coffee and many of these are powerfully linked to scent! Trying to cut down on your caffeine intake? Scent your home with our Cappuccino lamp fragrance instead – its’ mouth-watering scent alone should help you to jump out of bed in the morning!
- Coffee is actually a fruit!
Coffee beans are the seeds of the coffee plant, a red or purple fruit that is often compared to a cherry. Despite their seed status, they’re referred to as ‘beans’ due to their shape!
- There have been FIVE attempts to ban coffee!
- Coffee was initially banned in Mecca in 1511 as leaders believed it stimulated radical thinking.
- Later on in the 16th century when coffee arrived to Europe clergymen pressed for it to be banned, accusing it of being ‘satanic’. However, Pope Clement VIII took a taste, loved it, and suggested it be baptised. Following the strength of this papal blessing, coffeehouses rapidly became fixtures throughout Europe.
- Coffee became a taboo for the third time In 1623, when Murad IV took to the Ottoman throne and quickly forbade it, even enforcing penalties for those caught with coffee! Punishments included being sewn into a leather bag and thrown into the waters of the Bosporus for second-time offenders.
- Coffee was banned once again in Sweden in 1746, where a considerably stricter stance was taken, with ‘coffee paraphernalia’ including cups and dishes also being banned!
- In 1777 Frederick the Great of Prussia also declared outrage over coffee, claiming that it interfered with the countrys’ beer consumption! According to him, beer was far superior to coffee, proclaiming that “His Majesty was brought up on beer”.
- Coffee improves your performance when working out
Top tip: drink a cup of coffee ahead of your workout! Caffeine increases levels of adrenaline and releases fatty acids from fat tissues, helping you to get the most out of your workout!
- Coffee is a great palate cleanser
At Ashleigh & Burwood we spend a lot of time testing fragrances to make sure we supply you with some of the most delectable scents on the market, which is why coffee beans have become our best friend! When testing and comparing fragrance samples it can become difficult to distinguish between different scents, smelling a small dish of coffee beans helps to cleanse the palate – similar to sampling sorbet in between meal courses!
- Coffee is the second hottest commodity in the world!
Second to oil, coffee is the most traded commodity in the world and judging by all of its benefits and uses it’s easy to see why!


Free Homemade Dog Food Recipes
After posting: Surprise…Surprise… the Best Food for Dogs Is Homemade Food A friend forwarded me the following, which includes this free download collection of dog and cat foods at Free Dog and Cat Food Recipes. (Have added a few comments in italics… plus some extra links and recipes. …Ask Marion)
The current crisis in our pet food supply has many of us looking for homemade dog food recipes for our beloved pets. I have been cooking for our dog for many years and find that he likes mostly the same foods that we do. Each animal has his own preferences, just like we do. For instance, our Oscar will not eat tomatoes, but Bonnie loves them. Use these recipes as a starting place for homemade dog food recipes. Then, as you discover your pets preferences you can customize them more. One caution: you should not serve onion or chocolate to dogs as they contain substances that can be toxic to dogs.
Some veterinarians prefer raw meat for our pets. I prefer to cook the meat because of concerns over E Coli and other bacterial contamination. If you wish to use raw meat, do not use ground meat. The grinding process increases the possibility of contamination by providing more surface area for the bacteria to grow.
Dogs are omnivores so veggies (fresh and cooked… just no onions or avocadoes), rice, barley, potatoes, etc in addition to their meat, is good for them, but they require more protein than humans. Cheese and eggs are also good for them. Some even like fruit, especially apples, but no raisins or grapes! As Diane Watkins notes above, animals like people have individual tastes… and like people eating the same dry or even canned wet dog food daily is pretty boring as well as leaving them under-nourished.
Our dogs really don’t like or eat fruit, so we give them a natural high-quality supplement and add raw carrots (won’t eat cooked carrots) and sugar peas to their snacks. We also feed them natural all meat chicken and duck strips or sticks as snacks. And we add veggies that we are having for dinner to their plate. We often just fix them whatever meat is on sale in the broiler or bbq, add brown or white rice mixed with some meat juice and cooked veggies (favorites are peas, yams and sometimes kernels of corn), but if I am fixing something that would be good and healthy I adjust that by not using the no-no foods and often less salt.
Just make sure you observe the absolute no-no list. It is funny (not haha funny) but the people who will argue or take the stand that cheap (or any) commercial dog food is the way to go and won’t feed their pets real food are sadly usually also the people who will feed their dogs the few items of so-called people food that will harm or kill them!
The “Not So Safe Food For Pets” List
The following foods are not safe for dogs, cats, potbellied pigs, or guinea pigs. Never give the following foods or beverages to your pets:
- Alcohol of any kind
- Anything with Caffeine
- Bones from Ham, Chicken, or Turkey (any fowl)
- Candied Yams
- Casseroles (unless you absolutely know that none of the no-no foods are in them)
- Chocolate and Cocoa (this includes things like brownies and chocolate chip cookies) and dark chocolate is the worst… exactly opposite from people.
- Jell-O Molds
- Macadamia Nuts (this includes things like cookies and pies) and go easy on nuts in general
- Pecan Pie
- Potato Skins
- Careful of processed Pork Products because of the nitrates, especially ham.
- Stuffing, unless you made it from scratch yourself. (it usually contains onions, which is very harmful to pets)
- Anything with onions in it (and garlic should be fed in moderation)
- Anything with Xylitol in it
- Grapes or raisins
- Raw eggs – this is only on the list because of possible exposure to salmonella bacteria, not because the raw eggs are bad for them. (It is the same as concerns over E Coli and other bacterial contamination with raw meat, even though the raw meat is great for them!)
- Baby food if it contains onion powder
- Milk (and American Cheese) can be a problem for some dogs. And be aware that some animals can be lactose intolerant like some people.
- Avocados – especially for birds and cats
- Sage as well as many other herbs contain essential oils and resins that can cause gastrointestinal upset and central nervous system depression to pets if eaten in large quantities. Cats are especially sensitive to the effects of certain essential oils. (Often used in dressing and stuffing)
- Also keep them away from any rising bread dough or other rising dough. It can kill them and kill them very quickly.
Canine Meat and Grain Menu
2 cups cooked brown rice
2/3 cup Lean beef
2 teaspoons lard — or veggie/olive oil
1/2 cup vegetables — no onion*
Mix all together. You can serve the beef raw if you use chunks of beef. Do not serve ground beef raw, the grinding process increases the chances of bacterial contamination. Use any vegetables you like. You will find over time that your dog will leave any vegetables he does not like. Mix the above. Serve slightly warm, but not hot.
Chow Chow Chicken
You must remove the meat from the bones in this recipe. Chicken bones can easily splinter and cause choking problems in dogs.
2 chicken thighs — or white meat
1 stalk celery — sliced thick
3 carrot — peeled and halved
2 small potatoes — peeled and cubed
2 cups rice — uncooked
Place chicken pieces in large pot. Cover with cold water (5 -6 cups). Add carrots, celery, and potatoes to water. Add salt to taste if you want. Cover and simmer on low heat about 2 hours until the chicken becomes tender. Add the rice, cover and cook over low heat for about 30 minutes until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Remove soup from heat. Pull the chicken meat off the bone ( it will practically fall off), discard bones. Return shredded pieces to pot. Stir well. Let cool. Store in the refrigerator or freeze.
Meaty Dog Biscuits
Use beef, chicken or lamb strained baby food for these biscuits.
2 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup powdered milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 to 10 tablespoons water
2 jars baby food meat, strained
Mix all ingredients together and knead for 3 min. Roll out to about 1/2 inch thick. Use a dog bone shaped cookie cutter, and place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 min.
Makes approximately 2 dozen doggie biscuits
Bacon Bites for Dogs
6 slices cooked bacon — crumbled
4 eggs — well beaten
1/8 cup bacon grease
1 cup water
1/2 cup powdered milk — non-fat
2 cup graham flour
2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup cornmeal
Mix ingredients with a strong spoon; drop heaping tablespoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet. Bake in a 350 oven for 15 minutes. Turn off oven and leave cookies on baking sheet in the oven overnight to dry out.
Ace’s Favorite Cheesy Dog Biscuits
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/4 cups grated cheddar cheese
1/4 pound margarine (I would substitute butter) – corn or olive oil
1 clove garlic — crushed
1 pinch salt
1/4 cup Milk — or as needed
Grate the cheese into a bowl and let stand until it reaches room temperature. Cream the cheese with the softened margarine, garlic, salt and flour. Add enough milk to form into a ball.
Chill for 1/2 hour. Roll onto floured board. Cut into shapes and bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes or until slightly brown, and firm.
Makes 2 to 3 dozen, depending on size.
I hope that these free dog food recipes will inspire you to cook safe and healthy food for your pet.

Peanut Butter Dog Treats
2 tbsp corn oil
1/2 cup peanut butter (make sure you are using organic or non-tainted peanut butter)
1 cup water
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 cups white flour
Preheat oven to 350F. Combine oil, peanut butter, and water. Add flour 1 cup at a time, then knead into firm dough. Roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness and cut with small bone shaped cookie cutter. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. For hard and crunchy treats, leave them in the oven for a few hours after baking. Makes about 3 dozen.
Simple Roasted Organs
(This is a great recipe to make up for Thanksgiving to feed your canine friends… you can substitute chicken for the turkey and add a few turkey scraps at carving time, or just bake the liver and giblets and add the warm turkey as you carve… just go easy on the skin and watch for bones.)
This dish can actually double up as a treat, or healthy topping to your pet’s usual meal. Turkey giblets (hearts, livers and kidneys) are available from butcher shops and many natural food markets – and also come included with most Thanksgiving turkeys!
This recipe is super-simple and just about all pets love it! Since this recipe is cooked, turkey necks should not be used.
Up to 1 lb Turkey scraps, organs/giblets (don’t include bones)
6 tbsp Olive Oil
½ tsp Dried or Fresh Rosemary
1 Clove Garlic, crushed or finely diced (optional)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Arrange the organs on a baking sheet. Slowly pour on the olive and gently shake the pan so that the oil is evenly distributed. Sprinkle on the rosemary and crushed garlic. Place in the oven and cook for about 35 minutes, until golden brown. Cool before serving and refrigerate any leftovers for up to 3 days.
For cats, dice the organs finely with a sharp knife before serving. This technique also works well to create bite-sized training treats that are a little bit different.
** On a side note… We do buy a breed specific vet approved kibble that we set out when we are gone… and there is always some in a bowl next to each of the water bowls spread around the house and patio. Our dogs think it is a treat, but because it is always available and not their main food source, they do not over eat and only touch it when they are hungry because we’ve been gone or it strikes their fancy. Two of our four play a little game with it where they toss one small nugget up in the air at a time and then juggle it between their paws until they finally toss it up a second time, catch in their mouth(s) and finally eat it. They definitely use up more calories playing with it, than they get from eating it that way. We also feed them ‘natural’ duck and chicken strips as well as a natural supplement, but 90%+ of their food is “real” so-called human food. Each dog and all breeds are different, but we have noticed that since there is never a food shortage at out house for them and they eat well, that they only eat when they are hungry and save or let it sit until they are.
Some things to consider… Pets can have or develop allergies to food like dairy products, grains or a specific item, just like people. Bur they would have those same allergies and possible to a worse degree if you were feeding them commercial pet food. The breed specific pet food that we buy (and many kibbles) address tartar. Brushing your dogs’ and cats’ teeth is important, especially certain breeds and even more important without kibble.
As for snacks… generally if you feed your pets well, they will eat and beg for less snacks. As I mentioned above we use kibble and chicken and natural duck strips, sometimes with yams, as snacks for our pups and make homemade biscuits. We let them lick a little ice cream (no chocolate, coffee or with nuts) now and again, sometimes sprinkle freshly grated cheese on their food, and for their birthdays, I make a carrot cake or a cheese cake. Everyone of our 4 gets a little sliver; 2 prefer carrot and two prefer cheese cake. But generally we stay away from the sweets. (It is funny how the people who know the least about the benefits of feeding their pets natural or human food and protest the loudest, are usually the same people who feed their pets bites of a lot of junk food, sweets and items from the “no-no” list (above).
Someone passed me an article after I posted this one with some good information as well as the argument that if you feed your pet real food that it will cause undesirable behavior. Saying that:
Dogs are opportunists. Counter-surfing, garbage diving, begging, stealing from plates, food guarding, nipping: these are all behaviors that will continue if allowed.
It’s not a matter of human food; it’s a matter of training. If you don’t want your dog begging at the table, don’t feed him at the table; put the table scraps in his bowl. And since most dogs find human food far superior to their regular dog food or dog treats, you can actually use human food to train desirable behaviors to counteract undesirable ones.
It can be argued that the feeding of commercial dog food encourages unwanted behaviors. A dog that is voracious will have little self-control around food, and a lot of manufactured dog food lacks the nutrients and/or quality protein to keep a dog sated. The authors of Not Fit For a Dog! believe feeding manufactured pet food can lead to a variety of unwanted behaviors such as (but not limited to) “constant food soliciting/hunger; increased aggression/irritability/hyperactivity”( p.145). As well, there is strong evidence that commercial dog foods are largely responsible for many of the medical conditions that can require dogs to be put on medications that cause an increase in appetite (i.e. Prednisone).
From personal experience, our four eat only when they are hungry and when we say “NO”, they sit and wait until they are given a bite or food is set out in their bowls are set out.
To me the bad behavior argument is like saying, I only feed my kids TV dinners so that they don’t ask me to fix a real mea! And as for my friends and guests… they know it is a house with dogs and it is the dogs who live there… not them. ** Ask Marion~

Save a Life…Adopt Just One More…Pet!
Everyday we read or hear another story about pets and other animals being abandoned in record numbers while at the same time we regularly hear about crazy new rules and laws being passed limiting the amount of pets that people may have, even down to one or two… or worse yet, none.
Nobody is promoting hoarding pets or animals, but at a time when there are more pets and animals of all types being abandoned or being taken to shelters already bursting at the seams, there is nothing crazier than legislating away the ability of willing adoptive families to take in just one more pet!!
Our goal is to raise awareness and help find homes for all pets and animals that need one by helping to match them with loving families and positive situations. Our goal is also to help fight the trend of unfavorable legislation and rules in an attempt to stop unnecessary Euthenization!!
“All over the world, major universities are researching the therapeutic value of pets in our society and the number of hospitals, nursing homes, prisons and mental institutions which are employing full-time pet therapists and animals is increasing daily.” ~ Betty White, American Actress, Animal Activist, and Author of Pet Love
So if you have the room in your home and the love in your heart… Adopt Just One More Pet or consider becoming a Foster parent for pets… Also check out: Little Critter: Just One More Pet

Great Book for Children and Pet Lovers… And a Perfect Holiday GiftOne More Pet Emily loves animals so much that she can’t resist bringing them home. When a local farmer feels under the weather, she is only too eager to “feed the lambs, milk the cows and brush the rams.” The farmer is so grateful for Emily’s help that he gives her a giant egg... Can you guess what happens after that? The rhythmic verse begs to be read aloud, and the lively pictures will delight children as they watch Emily’s collection of pets get bigger and bigger.

Are you thinking of throwing a party but have no idea what to do for food? How about a BBQ service that offers WHOLE HOG pig roasts with a cool billiards theme?
They do it all. When I was the DJ for a party they did last year, I was blown away. 3 Ball has the most impressive custom-made smoker, “Smokezilla,” that I ever saw.
3 Ball BBQ menu is also out of this world. Not only do they carry the best in traditional BBQ entrees, but they also have “Global-Cue” categories featuring Brazilian BBQ on skewers and Korean BBQ dishes. I personally couldn’t get enough of their scrumptious seafood gumbo!
ANY SIZE PARTY – If the idea of too much food from a massive HOG isn’t what you are looking for for your smaller backyard BBQ, how about a smaller suckling pig with some other pork platters and sides? They really aim to please.
If you want to book them for a party, check out 3BallBBQ.com, or call 518-522-7102.


The DC, Maryland, Virginia (DMV) region has its own unique food culture, and one of the most iconic dishes is chicken wings coated in sticky, sweet Mumbo Sauce. This tangy, spicy condiment has its roots in the African American neighborhoods of Washington DC in the 1950s and has become an integral part of the area’s culinary tradition.
A Taste of DC’s African American History
Mumbo Sauce likely originated from Argia Collins, who ran a popular chicken wings carryout restaurant in DC in the 1950s. She reportedly mixed ingredients like molasses, vinegar, and cayenne pepper to create the orange-red sauce that customers couldn’t get enough of. The name may come from the word “mambo,” referring to the popular Afro-Cuban dance music of the time.
Over the decades, Mumbo Sauce became a signature flavor across DC’s many wing and carryout establishments. It represents the influence of African American chefs and culture on DMV cuisine. The sauce is both sweet from molasses and tangy from vinegar, with a mild heat from spices like cayenne or paprika.
Mumbo Sauce’s Lasting Popularity in the DMV Area
Today, Mumbo Sauce remains an iconic condiment in the DMV area. Chicken wings served “extra Mumbo” are a staple late-night meal, and the sauce is drizzled over everything from fries to pit beef sandwiches. National Mumbo Sauce Day on June 1st celebrates this distinctive regional flavor.
While you can find bottled Mumbo Sauce in grocery stores, locals know the best Mumbo experience comes from carryouts and restaurants around DC, Maryland and Virginia. Each puts their own spin on the classic recipe with secret variations passed down through generations.
Some spots famous for their signature Mumbo Sauces include:
- Yum’s Carryout – A DC icon since 1952, with a thicker, spicier Mumbo Sauce. Check out their sauce on Instagram.
- Just Chicken – Beloved Baltimore spot uses more molasses in their Mumbo for extra sweetness. See their Mumbo wings on their website.
- Roaming Rooster – Food truck Mumbo Sauce has fresh ginger and other secret ingredients. Find their location on Facebook.
Where to Find the Best Mumbo Sauce in the DMV
Some other top spots to get your hands sticky with Mumbo Sauce include:
- China Boy – Popular late-night spot for “Mumbo fries” loaded with sauce and toppings. Check out their menu here.
- Sweet potato Kitchen – Vegan Mumbo Sauce made with maple syrup and smoked paprika. Order online here.
So next time hunger strikes in the DMV, get a true taste of the region’s history and culture with Mumbo Sauce ladled over crispy fried chicken or fries. It’s a quintessential DC-area flavor you won’t want to miss!

Cook Time: 15 minutes
Once I got sick of food-prepping in this manner, I started to think more about how I actually wanted to eat. Thankfully, I have a great role model – my mom. I was 13 years old when my dad got bypass surgery because he had eaten fatty food all his life. Food is king in our household and my dad was spoiled. When he got out of surgery, he refused to eat “healthy” food. So instead, my mom got creative and started making healthy delicious home-cooked meals by “mocking” her recipes with leaner meats and more vegetables.
This recipe was my break away from the norm and an homage to my mom. These high protein chicken meatballs are made with chicken breast and spinach at the core. But they’re far from boring. Instead, they’re chock full of lean meat, fiber and flavor. Not to mention they’re ridiculously moist and delicious!!
Pair with your favorite tomato sauce or dip them in some hot sauce. From using them as a main course to a high-protein snack, I bet you’ll go back to them time and time again as a staple in your healthy diet repertoire.


Farmed in the Galician estuaries, it is a highly-valued variety in the food preservation industry.
It is a bivalve mollusc that lives in salty waters, at around 5-30 centimetres from the surface in sandy beds. They feed on small living organisms through the filtering of water.
They are purchased in season and from the fish market, and undergo a purification process to eliminate the sand and preserve their authentic taste of the sea.
Packaged one by one in tins, perfectly clean once their gills are removed. Unseasoned with an exquisite canning liquid.


Homemade Fruit Rollups
I’ve been on sorta a health kick lately and who doesn’t want their kiddos eating healthy right?! Well, these homemade fruit rollups are super simple and I love that they only have 2 ingredients…I mean really, have you read the ingredient list on a “healthy” package of fruit rollups or fruit snacks? Most of them have things I cannot even pronounce and have no idea what they are in them. Enjoy this healthy and easy recipe..your kids definitely will!
Homemade 2-Ingredient Fruit Rollups
3 Cups of Fruit (I used Strawberries)
- Preheat oven to 170
- Line a cookie sheet that has a lip with plastic wrap (be sure to overlap your sides). I know it seems strange but yes, plastic wrap. You are dehydrating it and the temperature is so low that you can touch the pan the whole time as it never really gets hot.
- Prepare Strawberries (cut stems)
- Puree your fruit in food processor until smooth consistency.
- Add sweetener of your choice (I used sugar) and sweeten to taste.
- Pour mixture on to prepared cookie sheet about 1/8″ thick.
- Bake for 6-8 hours. Wait until your center is no longer tacky.
- Lift plastic wrap out of cookie sheet and place on the countertop to cool.
- Flip over onto parchment paper.
- Remove plastic wrap.
- Cut into strips and roll.

It can reduce the level of bad cholesterol and raise the level of good cholesterol. It also plays a role in the prevention of colon cancer.
Good nutrition can go a long way in relieving some of the common discomforts of pregnancy. Avoid fried foods, excessive spices and too many fatty foods to help combat the heartburn that often comes along when you are pregnant. Eat fiber rich foods to increase intestinal movement and avoid constipation.
When it is time to eat try to sit down and enjoy your meal. When you eat meals standing up or while on the go your body does not digest all of the food the way that it should be doing and you will have a harder time getting the extra weight off.
