Food and cooking tips

Buy Local Food : It’s easy to take locally abundant foods for granted when they’re in season, but you can enjoy many locally produced foods out of season by stocking up. Storing big baskets of hazelnuts (in the Northwest) or pecans (in the Southeast) will come naturally if you start thinking like a squirrel. Look for foods that keep well, such as nuts, honey, winter squash and sweet potatoes and stock up.


Kitchen Tip : On electric stovetops, use flat-bottomed pans that make full contact with the element. A warped or rounded pan may be a conversation piece, but will waste most of the heat.

2 tb Olive Oil

1 Garlic clove finely chopped

16 oz Can tomato sauce

1 sm Onion - finely chopped

2 tb Fresh Parsley - freshly

Chopped and divided 1 ts Sugar (optional)

1 tb Basil, Oregano, or Marjoram

- finely chopped Pepper - freshly ground Salt to taste (optional) When fresh tomatoes aren't in season, here's a quick way to doctor up canned tomato sauce. In a Non-Stick VISIONS 1-quart saucepan, heat olive oil. Add onion and garlic and saute over medium heat until onion is pale golden. (DON'T BURN IT!) Add tomato sauce and a tablespoon of the parsley and cook on medium-low heat about 15 minutes to blend the flavors. Taste. If too acidic, add a teaspoon of sugar. Add freshly ground pepper to taste and salt, if needed. Finish by stirring in another tablespoon of parsley and your choice of Basil, Oregano, or Marjoram. This sauce came from the cookbook included with the new CORNING Ware VISIONS Non-Stick 1-quart Sauce Pan.
