Recipe: Duck Bacon and Spinach Salad

by 0 comments

This modern twist on the classic warm spinach salad is memorable and delicious. It takes the same components – spinach leaves, crisped bacon, red onion, eggs, a hot vinaigrette – and goes many steps beyond by adding texture and flavor contrasts with tangy Granny Smith apples, dried cherries, crunchy toasted walnuts, bitter frisee, smoked sea salt and creamy fresh goat cheese.

Duck Bacon fits the bill for a healthier bacon

by 0 comments

Unlike other types of poultry bacon, Maple Leaf Farms Duck Bacon doesn’t compromise on taste or texture. Made exclusively with boneless duck breast meat, this duck bacon is thick sliced and naturally Applewood smoked for terrific flavor, yet has 57% less fat than traditional pork bacon.

Good Luck Foods for Chinese New Year

by 0 comments

Chinese New Year, also called the Lunar New Year, is a time to enjoy culinary traditions with friends and family. Many symbolic foods are served to bring luck, wealth and a long life. Tangerines and oranges, for example, are displayed and eaten because the Chinese words for “gold” and “orange” sound alike, while the word for “tangerine” sounds like “luck.” When possible, the leaves are left intact because they symbolize longevity.

Mollie Stone’s Ice Cream is a sweet new tradition

by 0 comments

When we decided to make ice cream, we wanted it to have a rich and creamy taste that would transport your taste buds to an old-fashioned ice cream parlor. We found a decades-old traditional recipe that accomplishes exactly that. Our ice cream is made locally in San Leandro using milk sourced from California farms. It is available by the quart at Mollie Stone’s, along with ice cream cakes that are perfect for any occasion, or “just because.”
