Looking for a quick and flavorful dinner? This Honey Glazed Salmon is here to save the day—especially when made with Falcon Ridge Farm’s fresh, locally harvested honey. Paired with tender, flaky salmon perfectly balances sweet, savory, and satisfying. Pair it with your farm-fresh greens for a healthy, family-friendly meal. Let’s cook!

You’ll need:

For the Salmon:

• 4 (6 oz) salmon filets
• ½ tsp kosher salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
• ¼ tsp blackening seasoning (optional for extra depth)

For the Sauce:

• 3 Tbsp butter
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ cup honey
• 3 Tbsp water
• 3 Tbsp soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
• 2 Tbsp lemon juice

To make: 

Pat the salmon dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and optional blackening seasoning. Set aside.

Preheat your oven’s broiler and move the rack to the middle to avoid burning. Melt butter and olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in garlic, honey, water, soy sauce, sriracha, and lemon juice. Let it simmer for about 30 seconds.

Add the salmon skin-side down and cook for 3 minutes, spooning sauce over the top as it cooks.

Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil for 5–6 minutes. Baste once more halfway through. The salmon should be caramelized, cooked through, and flaky.

Serve with farm-fresh produce and enjoy!

There’s nothing quite like the sweet, juicy taste of fresh blueberries, and this blueberry cobbler recipe perfectly captures their summery flavor. With a hint of lemon zest and creamy bits of cream cheese, this dessert is sure to be a hit at any gathering. Best of all, it’s easy to make and pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

You’ll need:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3 cups fresh blueberries
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 4 oz cream cheese, cold and cut into bite-sized pieces
• Powdered sugar for dusting
• Vanilla ice cream for serving

To make:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Brown the Butter: In a 10″ cast iron skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and continue to stir until it goes quiet and turns brown. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Pour the browned butter into a mixing bowl and let it cool for about 15 minutes. Do not clean the skillet, as it will be used to bake the cobbler.
3. Prepare Dry Ingredients: While the butter cools, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
4. Prepare Blueberries: In another bowl, combine the blueberries, lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Set aside.
5. Make the Batter: Once the butter has cooled (it can be a little warm but not hot), add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl. Whisk to combine. Then whisk in half of the dry ingredients, followed by the milk, and then the remaining dry ingredients. The batter should be the consistency of thin pancake batter.
6. Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the batter into the same skillet used to brown the butter. Scatter a handful of blueberries on top, then evenly disperse the cream cheese pieces throughout the cobbler. Top with the remaining blueberries.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 30 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!

It’s strawberry season again here at the farm! Whether you’ve gotten our strawberries in your farm box or picked them up at our farmer’s market booth, this recipe combines juicy, sweet strawberries with a buttery, crispy topping that speaks to the soul. 

Ingredients:

Filling:
5 heaping cups of farm-fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
1/4 cup granulated white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 Tablespoons cornstarch

Topping:
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
2/3 cup granulated white sugar
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. This ensures that our crumble will bake evenly and get that perfect golden crust we love.

Grab a deep pie plate or a large baking dish. Grease it with butter or cooking spray to prevent any sticking. There’s nothing sadder than a crumble that won’t leave the dish!

Strawberry mixture:
In a large bowl, combine chopped strawberries with sugar. This sweetens the strawberries and brings out their natural juices, making our crumble extra flavorful.

Add a sprinkle of cornstarch and a dash of vanilla extract to this. The cornstarch will help thicken the strawberry juices, creating a lovely syrup as it bakes, while the vanilla adds an aroma and depth of flavor that elevates the dish. Stir until every strawberry is coated, then pour it all into your prepared baking dish.

Topping:
Whisk together flour, oats, a blend of brown and granulated sugar, a pinch of salt, and a touch of cinnamon in a medium-sized bowl. 

Pour the melted butter over the dry mixture. Stir it in until everything looks moist and well-coated. This will give our topping that irresistible golden brown color and a crunch that contrasts beautifully with the soft, juicy strawberries underneath. Sprinkle this crumb mixture over the strawberries. 

Slide your dish into the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. It’s done when the fruit bubbles and the topping turns golden brown.

Allow it to cool slightly, then serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!

Broccoli is a versatile and nutrient-packed vegetable. Broccoli, known for its high vitamin C, vitamin K, and fiber content, among other nutrients, is a staple in healthy eating. This simple dish combines the savory flavors of garlic and Parmesan with the natural, earthy taste of broccoli, making it a hit with the whole family.

Ingredients:

• 2 heads of broccoli, cut into florets
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
• Red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C), ensuring it’s hot and ready for roasting.
2. Prep the Broccoli: Wash the broccoli heads and cut them into bite-sized florets. Pat them dry to ensure they roast properly.
3. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper, ensuring each piece is well coated.
4. Roast the Broccoli: Spread the broccoli on a baking sheet in a single layer, making sure there’s space between the florets for even roasting. Place in the oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the stems are tender.
5. Add the Parmesan: Once the broccoli is roasted, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the hot florets. The heat will help the cheese melt slightly, adhering to the broccoli.
6. Final Touches: Before serving, add a zest of lemon over the broccoli for a fresh, citrusy note and sprinkle red pepper flakes for a little extra heat, if desired.
7. Serve: Serve the broccoli hot as a side dish or incorporate it into a main meal. It pairs wonderfully with both meat and vegetarian dishes.

Additional Tips:

• Nutritional yeast can be used instead of Parmesan for a vegan version.
• Pair this recipe with grilled chicken or fish, or incorporate it into a pasta dish.

As the New Year approaches, many traditions and customs are celebrated across the globe to welcome a fresh start. In the Southern United States, a popular tradition is serving up black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day for good luck and prosperity throughout the coming year. Whether you’re a staunch follower of this age-old practice or simply appreciate a delicious side dish, this easy black-eyed peas recipe is sure to become a staple in your holiday or weeknight dinner repertoire.

To make:

Before soaking, carefully inspect your dried beans for any impurities such as leaves, twigs, or broken beans, and give them a good rinse. Place the beans in a large bowl and cover them with 4 inches of water. While not mandatory, soaking the beans overnight will reduce cooking time. 

Drain the soaked beans and rinse them under cold water. Transfer them to a large pot, covering them with 4 inches of chicken stock. Simmer, covered, for approximately 1 hour, checking for tenderness after 45 minutes. Adjust with more broth or water as needed. We like to add a ham bone during cooking for a punch of flavor.

Once the black-eyed peas are tender, season them to taste and add any desired extras. Consider incorporating spinach or other greens during the final 5 minutes of cooking. Season to taste. 

Serve them up with collard greens, glazed ham steak, skillet cornbread, and mac & cheese for a satisfying meal!
