Grocery List for
Four:
Frozen, Grocery,
or Dairy: 1 12-inch ready-to-bake pizza shell; 1 bottle of Italian salad
dressing
Produce: 1/6 oz.
fresh thyme (one tablespoon); 1/6 oz. oregano (one tablespoon); 1 head
garlic; 1 bag salad mix
Dairy: 4 fl. oz.
ricotta cheese
Cheese: 1/4 cup
marscarpone; 8 oz. smoked mozzarella; 8 oz. olives
Before you start:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
20 minutes ahead:
Prepare pizza: Coarsely grate the smoked mozzarella. Chop thyme, oregano,
and 2 garlic cloves. Blend ricotta and mascarpone until well combined.
Spread the ricotta mixture evenly onto pizza shell. Sprinkle grated mozzarella
onto ricotta; then sprinkle the fresh herbs and garlic onto the mozzarella.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until bubbly.
5 minutes ahead:
Empty the contents of the salad mix into a large bowl. Slice the olives
and add to the greens. Add dressing to taste.
Dinner’s ready: Cut pizza into 8 slices and serve with the salad.
The Dietitian says:
Use part-skim or fat-free mozzarella and ricotta cheeses and substitute
fromage blanc or light cream cheese for the mascarpone. Or make the full-fat
version once in a while as a special treat. Each cup of salad greens provides
a serving of vegetables!
Meet Terry Appleby
Around here we call him the General. The Big Cheese. The Head Honcho. The Big Apple. Sir. Or just plain ol’ Terry. He answers to about anything, with a typical smile and affable manner. Terry is the Co-op’s General Manager, and he carries the responsibility of a $66 million business and more than 300 employees on his shoulders. His door is almost always open, and if it’s closed all you have to do is knock. Terry has spent his entire professional life serving the cooperative cause, working for PCC Natural Markets in Seattle before coming to our Co-op more than 15 years ago. You’re liable to find Terry doing everything from shoveling snow and parking cars at the Hanover store to speaking to graduate students at Dartmouth College to dressing up as Cocoa the Cow and giving balloons away at Dairy Day.
Grocery Department
Walk into the cereal section of a big-chain grocery store and there is one thing you’ll notice that they all have in common: high-sugared cereals, located down low on shelves near the floor. Why?
