Reduce heat and simmer covered for 35 to 50 minutes. (I like 45 minutes myself.)
Or, just until those kernels puff open. Then, uncover, fluff with a fork and simmer 5 more minutes.

(It all depends on how long the kernels are.)

Find Extra Savings on sweet fancy Navel oranges, Clementines & more at WinCo Foods.I have to say it was so nice having the Produce Girl fill in last week to give me extra time to help all of you with your Thanksgiving produce – but ‘orange’ you glad I’m back? Well, I sure am. I am just so excited to tell you about the extra savings you will find on large sweet fancy Navel oranges, bagged Clementines & Gold pineapples this week; even if you are experiencing cooler weather, one bite into these & you will feel like its summer all over again!

Since we’re on the topic of warm weather (a.k.a. swimsuit season) you’ll love to know about our extra low prices on avocados, fresh mint, cucumbers & green peppers; your friends will turn green with envy when you tell them all the ways you are warding off unwanted belly fat. I know I tend to get off track a bit but I just can’t help it – all this fresh produce makes me feel like a kid again! Which, you guessed it, reminds me to tell you to eat lots of watercress, eggplant, apricots, blood oranges, and cucumbers which all help to fight the aging process.
While you’re out shopping for holiday deals, make sure to take a minute to check out the amazing prices on cantaloupes, personal watermelons & honeydews. And if you’re already thinking about the big holiday dinner – or like me, & want to throw a roast in the slow cooker to save from having to cook after a day’s worth of shopping; be sure not to forget Russet baking potatoes, carrots, mushrooms & yellow onions to really save time.

I really must head back to check on all the new items coming in, so I will move forward with a few healthy tips that the Produce Girl left for this week:

Proven cancer fighters:
Bok Choy, broccoli, cauliflower, and brussel sprouts which contain Brassinin; tomatoes for their lycopene; strawberries which are high in antioxidants, and artichokes which are packed with 3 cancer fighting elements.

Natural pain fighters: bananas, watermelons & pineapples.

That’s a wrap (don’t mind me, that’s just a reminder to pick up gift bags & wrapping paper a few aisles over =)); Stay healthy, hang some lights, put up a tree, and enjoy the holiday season – I’ll see you soon!

Find delicious pears at everyday low prices at WinCo Foods“Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell, Jingle Pear Rock”…Wait a minute! You caught me again friends. I was standing here next to the Northwest pears and couldn’t help but notice that they resemble holiday bells; their low prices will be music to your ears and make your tastebuds dance. And this doesn’t just go for pears – produce of all shapes & sizes are making me sing green tag savings, including: four flavors of Sunkist fruit blends, fancy navel oranges, Butternut and Danish squash, Braeburn apples, roma tomatoes, broccoli crowns, personal watermelons and pineapples.

All of this caroling brings to mind one of my favorite songs “Sing for Your Supper”; while I won’t be earning any meals (I can’t ‘carry a tune in a bucket’, a cart, or anything else for that matter =)), I can give you some ideas that will fill your basket with great deals for your holiday dinner. Three pound bags of baby red potatoes as well as five pound bags of yellow onions make this delicious and easy cheesy Au Gratin Potatoes recipe. Bagged green beans, packaged greens, cucumbers, Zucchini and bell peppers make quick and healthy appetizers that everyone loves. One of my personal favorites is rolling out some sliced ham, spreading on some cream cheese and wrapping it around pickled asparagus – yum! Now I know that some of you have picky eaters in the house that don’t always love holiday traditions like Brussels sprouts; and to you I suggest this oven roasted version from Our Best Bites – it may just change their mind.

Oven Roasted Balsamic Brussels Sprouts Recipe from Our Best Bites

Now here’s an idea that may be a little different than the normal way you cook your bird, but try stuffing your turkey with a dark red Texas grapefruit this year; poke it with a fork first to let out the juices while it cooks – it’s wonderful! Citrus Brines are also popular and with everyday low prices on lemons and limes, you could try a few different kinds. Well friends, before I go ‘backstage’, I want to make sure you don’t forget persimmons and pomegranates – they’re one of the most popular produce picks this season. And now I must go, I hear the California Raisins (or in this case, red seedless grapes) calling me back to the department. So before they are ready for their encore, I’ll wish you a very happy holiday, I look forward to seeing you soon!

     Wow! What a busy week it has been, hasn’t it friends? The hustle and bustle of the holidays has me making a list of savings and checking it twice; sometimes these extra savings are unbelievable, even to me! For instance: sweet navel oranges, clementine mandarins, gold pineapples, Fuji apples, Braeburn apples, and tropical mangoes are all on green tag special this week which will give you a ‘go’ on a delicious fruit salad, just in time for all your holiday parties! Also, last week I shared my tip of stuffing a turkey with a dark red Texas grapefruit; if you weren’t convinced how delicious it tastes then, you might be after seeing this fruit coming in. And here’s another tip if you’re in charge of the turkey this year, try adding chopped apple to the stuffing – it helps it stay incredibly moist. I especially liked this Chestnut and Apple Stuffing recipe, it’s perfect when dinner is ready and you are ‘roasting’ near an ‘open fire’.
Look for delicious red grapefruit at WinCo Foods.

     Doesn’t that sound relaxing? Now I know most of us won’t be roasting near an open fire, but I do have visions of your homes ready for the holidays. I see the dinner table packed with holiday items like peppers, cucumbers, yellow onions, mushrooms and avocados. I imagine green tag specials this week on ten pound bags of russet potatoes and five pound bags of red potatoes will have many of you placing mashed potatoes in the center. I’ve also seen many of you shopping for the classics like yams and bagged green beans but don’t forget other delicious ideas like Eggplant and Danish Squash – this easy Baked version is made with Maple syrup and may make dessert wait until leftovers!

     Now I know that every one of you has a different way to celebrate this time of year, but the possibilities seem endless with produce! Of course, being The Produce Guy along with recipes and meal ideas, I have a couple of great gift idea too. I personally love receiving ready to eat gifts; how about a box of oranges and a jar of pickled asparagus? Or be sure to pick up a Fuyu persimmons, they won’t be around much longer – unless of course you make this delicious Spiced Persimmon Butter. Look for the cinnamon, ground cloves & even agave syrup in our neighboring department, Bulk Foods. Well friends, it’s that time again; I may not have Rudolph to tend to, but I do have some bright red Price Shocker signs to prepare so I’ll see you soon!
