Watermelon Moon by Shirley Burris
I grew up on a farm where we sold fruits and vegetables. It was a roadside produce ® stand, later to become Stauffer’s of Kissel Hill, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. When I was three years old, my dad died at the young age of 47. He left 11 children. I was the Patty Up youngest. Our fruit and vegetable farm was how my mother continued to support our family. I had many opportunities to watch my older siblings and learn life’s lessons at an early age. One of those lessons was making our work enjoyable and experiencing the rewards that came from working as a team. Recipes There was no distinction between genders. Work was done by boys and girls alike. To supply the farm store with fruit to sell, my brothers took the truck to purchase the melons. The melons had to be unloaded and stacked in the store. This was accomplished by a relay race strategy. (To the left is my brother Roy catching a very large watermelon.) In a relay race, you use a baton, we used a watermelon. Four of Gluten Free, Vegan, Vegetarian and Paleo Compatible my siblings would each position themselves about six feet apart beginning with the one on the truck and ending with the one standing at the place where the melons would be stacked. This required careful coordination just in case the watermelons landed on the ground instead of the outstretched arms of the one waiting to receive and pass it on to the next. The object was to keep the melon moving at maximum speed at all times – otherwise we would be working all night. The melon relay was like the relay of life. It’s not a one person event if you want to be successful. When the pitching and stacking was completed, it was time for the reward - eating watermelon - which for us was our candy. That is how I learned that real food is good - all by itself. We ate our watermelon by the light of the moon standing along mother’s garden. In those days—all watermelons had big black seeds—not like the hybrids we know of these days. We would have a contest to see who could spit the seed the furthest. As you can imagine, I never won any of the games but I don’t remember caring because it was so much fun. I called that time “watermelon moon” and sometimes I even thought the moon looked like a big round watermelon. Through the years, this has become one of my favorite Burris Country Kitchen™ childhood memories and 717.367.7339 lessons—work hard and have www.burriscountrykitchen.com fun—and most of the times it email: [email protected] involved food—really good— wholesome foods—home grown and eaten immediately.

Because my recipe directions for Patty Up® Vegetarian Mix together: Burger Mix calls for an egg or two—I often get quizzed on what to use as an egg ¾ cup firmly packed Patty Up® dry mix substitute.

Melt cheese on top. substitute for the poor egg that is indeed under attack. Crumble mixture into pieces. In defense of the egg—in the grocery store you will most likely find eggs with the words “omega-3” on the label. These eggs are different from regular eggs because they have been enriched with essential 1 head cauliflower, thinly sliced ⅓ cup olive oil + 2 tablespoons polyunsaturated fats, which is done by feeding laying hens a rich diet in omega-3 fats. Enriched eggs Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste typically cost more than standard eggs because of how the feed is fortified. Many qualified studies and ⅓ cup large capers, drained research have been done to prove that these omega-3 eggs are more beneficial to your health than regular 10 tablespoons unsalted butter egg choices. (you can “Google” this for the scientific proof of it all) ½ cup whole grain mustard 6 cloves garlic (optional) Here are some ideas for the Vegan camp for egg substitution: 1 lb. Orecchiette pasta I use a product called EnerG Egg Replacer when I make Patty Up® Vegan style. It is a great ¼ cup roughly chopped parsley 1 teaspoon Alleppo chile flakes product. I prefer not using Garbanzo beans as they tend to have an unfortunate side effect of intestinal gas and bloating. Directions: Heat oven broiler.

It works well in baked goods. The best ratio is one tablespoon of ground flax seeds and Heat ⅓ cup oil over medium-high heat. Cook capers until crisp, 6-8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer three tablespoons of water to replace one egg. I use a coffee grinder to get it into a fine powder—Bob’s capers to paper towels to drain; set aside. Red Mill has an excellent one already ground. Simply wisk it in the water until it becomes gel like. I mix it and keep it prepared in the refrigerator. Wipe skillet clean and melt butter over medium; cook until butter is a deep golden brown, 6-8 minutes. Turn off stove. Stir in mustard, salt, pepper and garlic; immediately transfer to a bowl. Silken tofu —Silken tofu is relatively flavorless but it can make baked goods denser, so it is best used in brownies and some quick bread and cakes. Use ¼ cup of pureed tofu for one egg. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente, about 7 minutes. Drain and rinse Baking soda and vinegar —This is ok for a fluffier baked good. Use 1 teaspoon of baking soda mixed pasta. with 1 Tablespoon of white vinegar for 1 egg. Put pasta in bowl and gently toss cauliflower. Top with Patty Up® Crumbles. Add dressing and sprinkle with Applesauce —¼ cup applesauce for each egg – I recommend this for a substitution for the eggs in my Alleppo. Serves 6-8. directions for the Waffles and Pancake recipe. It is good in baked desserts –just be sure it is compatible with the other flavors in the recipe. Some other options: 1 egg = 2 TBS potato starch 1 egg = ¼ cup mashed potatoes Customer Feedback 1 egg = ¼ cup squash or pumpkin
