General cooking tips

Buy Local Food : Cultivate an awareness of how far your food travels. When Rich Pirog, Food Systems Program Leader for the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University, tracked the miles traveled for 16 types of produce, he found that locally sourced fruits and vegetables such as apples, lettuce and tomatoes traveled an average of 56 miles, compared to 1,494 miles — nearly 27 times farther — for the same fruits and vegetables delivered through conventional retail channels. Things get stickier with combination foods, strawberry yogurt for example. Pirog came up with 2,216 miles by adding up the distance traveled for the yogurt’s milk, sugar and strawberries. That figure could be slashed by 90 percent if you buy plain yogurt and stir in some locally grown honey and fruit.


Buying an Oven : In gas appliances, look for blue flames; yellow flames indicate the gas is burning inefficiently and an adjustment may be needed. Consult your manufacturer or your local utility.

1 md Onion; diced

1 Green bell pepper; chopped

2 c Frozen corn kernals

1 sm Can green chilies, chopped

1 c Tomato sauce

2 tb Chili powder

Salt and pepper; to taste 4 c Cooked kidney beans; mashed

1 1/2 c Cornmeal

1/2 c Unbleached all-purpose flour

3 c Water

Heat the water or oil in a large pot over medium heat and cook the onion for 10 minutes. Add the green pepper, corn, green chilies, tomato sauce, chili powder, and salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes. Add the mashed beans and cook 10 minutes more over low heat. Remove from the heat and set aside. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and water in a large saucepan and cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens, stirring constantly with a wire whisk to keep the cornmeal from lumping. Spread half the cornmeal mixture over the bottom of a nonstick baking dish. Spread the bean mixture over the cornmeal mixture, and then add the remaining cornmeal mixture on top, spreading to cover the beans. Bake for 45 minutes or until the cornbread is golden.
