Well hello again! If you have wondered where I have been, I had to take some time off in order to concentrate on the many other hats I wear as a small business owner! So I am glad to get an opportunity to write to you all again :)

Since we last wrote to you, we have been super busy in our kitchen canning the delicious Summer produce! It would be very difficult for us to choose a favorite from our stash. LOL We really enjoy eating them all! Here are a few samples of some of our newer selections.
Our very popular Perfect Pizza Sauce is "perfect" for homemade pizzas. Try one of our pizza crust mixes and for extra seasoning, grab one of our in-house pizza seasoning blend packs. YUM!
These Sweet Curry Spiced Pickles are perfect to eat straight from the jar or add to your homemade chicken/tuna salads. They will definitely not last long before you eat them all!

Well it is time for this week's Blog recipe!
If you enjoy the recipes we share, be sure to let us know!
If you are like us and are growing a garden, then you probably have squash and zucchini coming in by the boat load LOL! Here is a delicious way to prepare them in a different way then you may have done before. This recipe comes from our friends at Rada. If you need a GREAT knife to use for cutting these, look no further than our large selection of Rada knives right here at the store!
Zucchini Chips
Ingredients you will need:
2 large zucchini, sliced into 1/4″ chips
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
2 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Optional seasonings (1/4 teaspoon): choose one of our Troutt Old Time General store seasonings! You can find them instore or on our WEBSHOP under the in-house seasoning category
Preheat oven to 450°. Wash the zucchini and slice up your zucchini into quarter inch slices. Crack two egg whites into one bowl. Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and seasoning in another bowl. Dip the zucchini chips, one by one, first into the egg whites then into the dry mixture. Place your chips on a baking sheet. You might want to place foil or parchment with spray over the top. Bake for 7 minutes. Then turn the chips over and bake for another 7-9 minutes or until golden brown on both sides. Serve them while they’re hot!
So delicious!! We can't wait for you to try these!
