Who says Olive Oil is best used in the kitchen?

 

Many Olive Oil soaps on the market are made with poor quality olive oil, the lowest grade, lowest quality oil. STONEHOUSE decided to turn the tide and use one of our best Extra Virgin Olive Oils to make our soaps and body oils—the first oil of the harvest, rich with anti-oxidants, phenols, and 100% Organic. The result is a wonderfully silky true Olive Oil soap that nourishes your skin as it cleanses. And the silkiness of the foam is ideal for shaving.

 

***Using Olive Oil on skin is GREAT for anti-aging!***

Each bar of their soap we sell is made with 100% pure, unrefined shea butter, which is purchased from a cooperative of women farmers in West Africa.

 

 

Raw Chocolate isn’t only good for your innards…

Roasted Parsnips and Carrots

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

parsnipsandcarrots

(Inspired by The Barefoot Contessa. YUMMY! This will be in my own oven soon).

Is anyone else from our CSA wondering what to do with their parsnips? They seem like an exotic veggie that many are unfamiliar with, but they contain a lot of fiber which is great for digestion and their sweet taste is satisfying without the guilty feeling of consuming something high in calories. The type of fiber they contain is soluble fiber which helps lower cholesterol. They also have a great source of folic acid which may help prevent heart disease, dementia, and osteoporosis. Unlike their relative, the carrot, they do not have beta-carotene. I have previously been led to believe that parsnips are the pale, smaller cousin of the carrot, but parsnips are very good for you and I want to try ‘em out for myself.

Here is a recipe that combines parsnips and its carrot cousin that is simple, healthy, and also delicious looking! I am making this recipe below tonight with my cousin who, like the parsnip, is the pale, smaller one… I will let you all know how it goes. I KID OF COURSE! Well… not really. She is more pale than I am, but I’m part Italiano and to be fair, I just got back from a tropical vacation. She is actually the one who inspired me to make veggies a main component in my diet. If anyone else tries this recipe, let me know what you think. I will be posting up more recipes, so stay tuned!


Ingredients

nocoupons

  • 1 pound parsnips, peeled
  • 1/2 pound carrots, unpeeled
  • 2 tablespoons STONEHOUSE OLIO SANTO olive oil
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic sliced
  • 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt (you can use 1 table spoon, i just generally try not to use a lot of salt)
  • 1  teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoons minced fresh dill or parsley

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

If the parsnips and carrots are very thick, cut them in half lengthwise. (The ones I got from this CSA share were not that thick). Slice each diagonally in 1-inch-thick slices. The vegetables will shrink while cooking, so don’t make the pieces too small. Place the cut vegetables on a sheet pan. Add the olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper and toss well. Roast for 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the vegetables, tossing occasionally, until the parsnips and carrots are just tender. Sprinkle with dill or parsley and serve hot.
