Tasty Food Additions

Here's a couple picks from our recent trip to the New York Fancy Food Show. We taste test everything before we bring it in and only pick the best of the crop. (I know, it's a tough job - but somebody's gotta do it!) Let us know what you think about these two little gems.


Stonewall Kitchen's Artichoke Pesto - made with the freshest ingredients, this pesto is wonderful to add to pasta, spread over pizza or blend into couscous.



Stonewall Kitchen's White Bean Dip - eat this one right out of the jar. It's a wonderful blend of mild white beans with a kick of lemon and chili pepper. Delicious, nutritious and flavorful! We brought this one in a few weeks ago, and it's quickly rising the charts to our best seller list!

Here's a quick little recipe you can whip up for that next get together with friends...
