Sun Belle is Here for the Holidays

Fresh berries and vegetables make holiday meals and entertaining festive, more healthful and easy to prepare. The vibrant hues of raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries and red currants dress up any dessert course, make salads pop, and add sweetness and complexity when sauced for poultry, game and lamb. These colors and flavors signal that berries are top antioxidant foods whose neutriceuticals are linked to brain, urinary and digestive health in addition to cancer fighting.

Take a look at Sun Belle's recipes on this site for wonderful holiday meals and entertaining ideas.

  • Greenhouse vegetables, which are mild but full flavored and ripe also contain vitamins and phytochemicals good for health. A quick salad of seedless cucumbers, colored bell peppers and tomatoes, dressed with onions and vinaigrette, is a quick and colorful accompaniment to any main course. These cucumbers and bell peppers, when sliced in wedges, can join Belgian endive leaves to make ideal vehicles for vegetable dip. For a more wintry treat, most of these same vegetables, when combined with greenhouse eggplant, can be sautéed into a savory ratatouille, a Provencal treat at home in the wintry north as well as the sunny south.
  • Corny Blackberry CobblerNothing tantalizes our holiday senses more than fresh baked goods, the smells of pastry, berries and spices wafting through a home, the sight of colorful pies and crumbles and tarts brimming with berries and fruit, and those delicious sweet tangy flavors to end a perfect family repast.
