Green Juice
Jump start your day - and year - with this green juice recipe from Breville. Juicing provides a quick, easy and efficient way to meet your daily vitamin and mineral needs. If you aren’t a fan of eating salads, green juices are a great way to consume a ‘salad in a glass’. Use organic whenever possible, especially the apples. Definitely buy organic apples, as non-organic are often waxed to keep them fresher. If you can’t find organic, you can always peel off the waxy skin; however, the downside is that many of the nutritional benefits are concentrated in the skin and outer layers.

Blackeyed Pea Hummus
Some of our fondest 2014 memories involve Simple Abundance cooking classes and our ongoing partnership with the Atlanta Community Food Bank. In 2014, Atlanta chefs taught cooking classes hosted at The Cook's Warehouse that raised over $23,000 for the food bank. Every December, our owner Mary Moore and Sherlock's Decatur wine specialist Don Hackett teach a holiday themed class, this year's class was about "NEW New Year's Day Traditions". The recipe below was featured and is a great snack to share as you kick off 2015!

Crock Pot Hot Cocoa

Posted on December 24, 2014 by admin
Decadent Slow Cooker Hot Cocoa
Serves 8
Put your slow cooker to work for an easy treat that your family and guests will love throughout the holiday season and all winter long! I made this for our family get-together this past weekend, and it was gone in a flash. This is a very rich beverage, swap milk for the heavy cream or use skim milk instead of whole if you'd like to lighten it up a bit. Set up an assortment of toppings such as marshmallows, whipped cream, chocolate shavings, crushed candy canes, and shakers of cinnamon, cocoa powder and cayenne (for those that like a little spice). Include a small bottle of Kahlua or peppermint liquer for the adults. Guests can help themselves - at least while it lasts!
