About Duck Fat

2012-02-01T17:00:00.000-08:00

Ducks carry all their fat right under their skin. The skin and fat trim can be rendered into a smooth very creamy and delicious fat. This fat is great for all sort of culinary uses. Cooking the skin and fat at low to medium heat until the skin is crispy and golden, straining the solids from the fat and storing in the refrigerator for around 4 months.

Alternately, you could make the fat solid in the fridge and the cut into smaller portions and freeze in an airtight bag for quick use later on. You can also use the fat that renders from roasting a whole duck in the same way. There is some debate for how long you can keep fats. If you do not scorch the fat, it can be strained and reused. When reusing fats, if it is not clear and gives off an offensive odor, it has probably been scorched and should not be used. Your nose will always be the surest way to keep from eating or using rancid foods.

here’s what’s new at Wheatsville this week.

Westsoy Organic Unsweetened Soymilk

With all of the new nut and seed milks available these days soy seems to have fallen from favor, but let's not forget the stellar qualities that have long made it a staple food for entire cultures and cuisines. Roughly similar to cow's milk, one 8oz cup of soy offers approximately 9 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber; unlike cow's milk, it has little saturated fat and no cholesterol. Like dairy milk, most soymilk is enriched with calcium and vitamins. Westsoy is proud to be Non-GMO Verified, and to offer all the goodness of soy without sugar or sweeteners.

64oz, Reg. $4.69

Popcorn Indiana Wasabi Popcorn

Light up your taste buds with this exclusive gourmet blend of unexpected flavors from Popcorn Indiana’s Reserve collection. The spicy kick of wasabi, also known as Japanese horseradish, is balanced with a touch of the sweet, mellow tang of soy sauce, then tossed with crunchy, fresh popcorn. Snack-aholic warning: this stuff is addictive!

Bobo's Gluten-Free Oat Bars; Maple Pecan, Chocolate Almond, and Lemon Poppy Seed

Hello Wheatsville friends and fans!

Thanks for coming in and shopping with us last week during our Owner Appreciation Days! We had a lot of fun and were happy to see so many familiar faces. And to our 43 new owners who joined our co-op last week - WELCOME! We are so happy you chose to join us!

January Notes:

You may see some new tags in the store near products made by co-ops. We created these in order to raise awareness for the role co-ops play in our food chain. This is just another small way you can help support a co-op economy.

You'll also find a Just Label It! petition at the front of the store on the Hospitality Desk. The petition is asking the FDA to mandate labeling of genetically engineered foods on product packaging. You can sign at the desk or on-line. The petition has already gotten over 500,000 signatures and is well on the way to meeting the goal of 1 million. Please add your voice and help us get GMO's labeled.

We're also very happy to be sponsoring People's Community Clinic through our Community Action Wednesday Program and Children's Book Drive this month. Please donate your gently used English & Spanish children's books in the bins at the front of our store until January 31st. The books will be distributed to children in the clinic's waiting room.

WHEATSVILLE'S ONE BIG THING

Every week, Wheatsville staff picks the product we're most excited about right now!

This week's One Big Thing is... Johnson's Backyard Garden Carrots!

Why do we love them?

1. They're local!

2. They're organic!

3. They're so sweet & tasty!

Texas Grown

"Do unto those downstream as you would have those upstream do unto you." – Wendell Berry

We whole-heartedly concur with that statement, which is why we support sustainable, local agriculture. While it might not be immediately apparent, winter in Texas is a great time to eat local produce! The weather is mild and rains more abundant.

You won't see any Texas berries or peaches, there are plenty of citrus and cool weather greens to be had. Our Texas-grown Organic Rio Star Grapefruit is a perfect example. Grown in Hidalgo County, the heart of Texas citrus country, these big red beauties are a state treasure.

A bit closer to home, Johnson's Backyard Garden is cranking out some incredible beets with greens in red, gold, and Chioggia varieties. The great thing about buying beets with the greens attached is you can eat the greens, too! Did you know that chard and beets are very closely related? So close, in fact, that they can cross-pollinate. I like to combine both beet and greens in a single dish, like this simple recipe I found on Epicurious. It can be cooked in a single skillet and only takes a half hour! The recipe can easily be tweaked with different herbs or spices. Give it a shot.

- Adam, Produce Manager

Zhi Tea

Rub your wings, roast for about 15 minutes to dry out the skin. Baste them and cook for 10 minute intervals for about thirty minutes.

Shine On

Shiner Wild Hare Pale Ale is here! Shiner Wild Hare is a classic American Pale Ale made with American two-row barley with a blend of Munich and Caramel malts for rich malt flavor and clear amber color. US Golding and Bravo hop varieties are used in the kettle and fermenter for crisp bitterness and assertive fresh hop fruit and floral aroma. More than a pound of hops is used to produce each barrel of Shiner Wild Hare.

Texas Sake Company

If you have yet to try the amazing sake from Austin's own Texas Sake Company why not get a bottle now? Austin's new Texas Sake Company makes sake in small batches using traditional methods.

WHEATSVILLE'S ONE BIG THING

Every week, Wheatsville staff picks the product we're most excited about right now!

This week we're loving Equal Exchange Coffee! Why?

1. Equal Exchange is one of the founders of the fair trade movement.

2. Equal Exchange is a worker-owned co-op that values both farmers and consumers.

3. It's on SALE! Only $9.99/lb. reg.$11.49/lb. for some of the best beans money can buy. WOW!!!

Local!

"How can I describe it? Good food is like music you can taste, color you can smell"

– Chef Auguste Gusteau (from the movie Ratatouille)

This week, we're featuring two colorful and delicious local produce items: Bagged Spinach from Oak Hill Farms in Poteet and organic one pound bagged carrots from Johnson's Backyard Garden in Austin. Both are great raw or cooked.

The spinach has a really "meaty," substantial texture to it that makes it great for salads and the flavor is great, too. We think you'll agree that $3.99 for a 10 oz bag is a pretty good deal.

The carrots from JBG are a favorite for good reason: they're sweet, juicy, and crunchy. Word is Dan's daughter Jojo won't let him in the house unless he's carrying a bag of them! Give them a shot yourself, but be warned! They may be habit forming!

- Adam King, Produce Manager

Hot & Toasty

The Deli's Getting Hot with a New Menu of Toasty Sandwiches!

We are super excited about our brand new hot sandwich oven behind the Deli Counter! To celebrate its arrival, we are offering a menu of six hot and toasty sandwiches for you! Try our classic BLT on toasted local sourdough, or our cheesy Caprese with melted mozzarella, house-made pesto, fresh veggies and oil and vinegar! The Italian will fill you up, piled high with two kinds of salami and honey maple ham on local toasted ciabatta. Our Smoked Ham & Swiss comes with stone ground mustard, lettuce and tomatoes on local rye bread. Try my favorite, the Tuna Melt, which melts sharp white cheddar over our house-made tuna salad. Or have a WV Turkey Club, featuring oven-roasted turkey, crispy bacon and ripe avocado with veggies on organic wheat bread. Come on in to read the menu for all the details! We'll be working on even more hot sandwich selections to come, but for now, just head on over and try one!

Local Meat & Poultry

Wheatsville is now stocking Maple Leaf Farms White Peking Ducks. They are antibiotic free and certified humanely raised by their Trident Stewardship Program. Find recipes and learn more about Maple Leaf Farms beliefs and farming practices on their website.

We can offer boneless breasts and leg quarters as well as the whole bird. Remember, when roasting a duck it needs to be elevated in your pan or pot. Ducks have a lot of fat, and it renders while roasting. Duck fat is also very delicious. I recommend using every drop of your rendered duck fat. One way to use it, and this is pretty decadent, is to make risotto while roasting and use the duck fat for your risotto liquid. French fries fried in duck fat are also amazing.

Don't forget to stock up on some freezer items for Owner Appreciation Days. Take a chance on trying out that Windy Hill Farms Goat Stew meat you've been waiting to try. By all means pick up some of the Brangus Grass Fed and Grass Finished Ground Beef or Stew. This beef is incredible. Not only does it taste great, but it is being raised responsibly for the greatest health benefits to those that eat it and raise it. These are limited supplies so stock up.

The Applegate Farms Great Organic Hot Dog has moved to the freezer for a much better price of $6.99.

Keep an eye out for the Dewberry Hills Chicken. We love Jane and Terry and what they are doing to raise a great local chicken. We have recently started selling fresh livers and hearts and chicken feet. Dewberry Hills is a smaller farm than Buddy's and these parts are somewhat limited. If you want us to put some aside for you, feel free to call, otherwise, they come in on Wednesdays and are usually gone by the weekend.

Kidding Season

This time of the year is kidding season for most goat dairies. Cheese production wanes because the majority of the milk goes to feeding the kids. Also if the does are not allowed to breed there will be no milk production later in the year. The cheese produced with this milk is creamier and richer because of the increased butter fat. So expect to see decreased levels in our stock of Wateroak and Pure Luck goat cheeses. We are lucky enough to have received a small order of Pure Luck Dairy's cheeses. We have chevre, Hopelessly Bleu and a bit of June's Joy. Get it while you can.

Remember, it is Owner Appreciation Days at Wheatsville. Owners save 10% off any one shopping trip through January 22^nd.

Plant a Seed

It's Not Too Early to Start That Spring Garden in Central Texas!

Wheatsville's Got Your Heirloom and Organic Seeds for $2.29 a pack!

Many flowers actually benefit from one last freeze – sweet peas, for example! Sweet peas are a beautiful decorative addition to any garden, but unlike other peas, they are purely ornamental and poisonous if eaten. Other wildflowers share this characteristic, that they actually require a freeze for proper germination!

Other plants, like tomatoes and peppers, can be started indoors as early as February to ensure that by March, they are big and hardy enough to be transplanted directly into the ground.

Stop by Wheatsville's Seed Savers Exchange rack for all of your favorite seeds – all IN SEASON! Also, check out our new Austin area planting guide, with monthly tips on preparing your soil, as well as a simple guide to which seeds are best to plant each month right here in Austin!

Wine Buyer's Pick Pack

The Owner Appreciation Days Wine Buyer Pick Pack combines some of our favorite wines together in one of our Wheatsville 6 bottle bags for an incredible deal. Combine the deal on the wine itself with the 10% off for buying six bottles at one time AND your 10% one time Owner Appreciation Days discount and that amounts to a whopping savings of $17.40. Plus the bag is free!

Featuring, Kenwood Vintage Red, Magnate Red, Parducci Pinot Noir, Blackberet Red, Casal Garcia Vinho Verde, and Lagaria Pinot Grigio!

The spotlight is on food co-ops for the world premiere of Co+op, stronger together's video series celebrating 2012 International Year of Cooperatives and hosted by celebrity chef Kevin Gillespie.

Watch and you'll quickly discover the many ways food co-ops, their shoppers and owners, and their communities are stronger together.

People's Community Clinic

We're also very happy to be sponsoring People's Community Clinic with our Community Action Wednesday Program and Children's Book Drive. We will donate 1% of total store sales to PCC every Wednesday in January and we are also accepting gently used English & Spanish children's books to be used in their waiting room. Donations can be dropped off in the bins at the front of our store until January 31st.

WHEATSVILLE'S ONE BIG THING

Every week, Wheatsville staff picks the product we're most excited about right now!
This week's One Big Thing is Citrus Cups!
Why do we like them?
1. Freshly prepared, peeled and ready to eat in our produce department!
2. For only $2.49 it's a great breakfast, snack or dessert!
3. Sunshine in a cup! You know, if sunshine were cold and juicy.

Celebrate Citrus!

Celebrate Citrus! On Saturday and Sunday, we're hitting you with a citrus-sampling blitz! It's citrus season and now is the best time to eat it. You can buy an orange most any day of the year but they won't taste like they do right now. Specialty items like blood oranges, Cara Cara navels, tangelos and tangerines are only available for a limited time. We want you to find a new favorite or rediscover an old one. We'll be sampling most every citrus item on our shelves so if there's something you've been thinking about trying, stop by and give it a shot!
Johnson's Backyard Garden in East Austin is growing strong and in addition to fabulous organic carrots, cauliflower, spinach, beets, kale, collards, parsley, cilantro, and radishes, Johnson's has produced some of the most incredible broccoli you have ever tasted. The stems are so sweet and tender – don't toss them out! The florettes are deep dark green and packed with goodness. I come from New Mexico and the idea of locally grown organic broccoli just trips me out. We are so fortunate to have a farm like JBG serving Austin!

Lightnin' Lemons

The most glamorous culinary ingredients of these winter months are undoubtedly citrus fruits, which are in peak season, absolutely gorgeous, and sweeter than ever right now. This is the time of year to add juicy orange sections to salads, eat a whole, sweet red grapefruit for breakfast, and give everything you eat an extra squeeze of fresh lemon, just because. Wheatsville is celebrating the many joys of citrus this weekend and the Deli is stepping up to bring you many of our dishes that star lemon, lime, and orange!
From our Bakery's Lightnin' Lemon Corncake, Orange Poppyseed Muffins and Citrus Glazed Scones to our Kitchen's Lemon Parmesan Tortellini, Curry Lime Chicken Salad and Lemon Scented Quinoa, we're on it!
We'll also have our fantastic, caffeine-free Gingerade, made with fresh ginger, spices and a blend of lemon, lime and orange juices – get it hot or iced! It's an allergy-destroyer and tummy-tenderizer all in one, and boy does it taste good too – stir in some local honey and cayenne for an extra immunity booster, and celebrate the wonders of citrus with us!
Click here to read about all of our Deli deals & specials!

Local, Sustainable

We have some exciting new pork & bison sausages from Pederson's, a local farm and longtime friend of Wheatsville. The Bierwurst is a german style sausage traditionally used as a sandwich sausage, while the Jalepeno lends some southern flare to the procedings.
We also have local, sustainable, humanely raised Boer Goat and Brangus Beef (both ground and stew meat) from Windy Hill Farms in Comanche, TX. Both are completely grass fed and great for all sorts of dishes. Goat in particular lends itself well to curries and Ty Wolosin shares his favorite Goat Curry recipe with us. It's the same popular recipe you'll find him sampling at all the farmer's markets around town. Keep in mind, the Brangus Beef is harvested one steer at a time, so supplies will be limited and spotty. Make sure you get it while you can, find it in our freezer section.
On Coop Deals we have Applegate Farms Homestyle Chicken Tenders in Reg. and Gluten Free.
Look out later in the Week for whole and parted all natural Peking Duck.

Master Cleanse

Come celebrate citrus and Owner Appreciation with great deals on the vitamins aisle! When I think of citrus I think of the amazing cleansing properties inherent in citrus. Think of all the citrus in natural cleaning products. This is why the lemonade diet, or "Master Cleanse" is so effective. If you are considering doing this tried-and-true cleanse, we have the original "Master Cleanser" book and the "Complete Master Cleanse" book on the vitamins aisle. Cleansing is something many of you might be considering this time of year, as a way to jumpstart the new year. To help you with your cleansing journey we have many cleansing kits on sale right now.
Renew Life truly makes excellent products for cleansing. There are one-week, two-week, and 30-day cleanses to choose from. Also, you'll find cleansing kits for specific areas of concern: liver, kidney, parasites, candida, kick-starting a diet, a whole-body cleanse, and a cleanse for first-timers.
Also, brand new(for us) and on sale are the cleansing kits from Garden of Life: The Perfect Cleanse, a 10-day cleanse, and the RAW Cleanse, a 7-day cleanse. An effective cleanse leaves you feeling lighter and more energized, can greatly reduce allergies, improve digestion, clear-up the skin, improve body odor, and best of all, leave you feeling truly empowered. And, we have some of the best products on the market to aid in an effective cleanse.

1/2 cup coconut milk

1 tomato, chopped

1/2 cup peas

1 cup chopped potato

Kosher salt and cracked black pepper

Cilantro, chopped (optional garnish)

Scallions, sliced (optional garnish)

Preheat oven to 325°F. Heat a large drizzle of vegetable oil in a braising dish over medium-high heat, remove goat from marinade (reserve marinade), and sear in batches until meat is brown on all sides. Reserve meat. Add onion and green pepper to braising dish and cook until beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add goat, reserved marinade, and chicken stock to the onion/pepper mixture and bring to a simmer. Cover with lid and place in preheated oven until goat is tender, about 3 hours. With ground it should only take 30 min.

When goat is tender, remove from the oven. Add coconut milk tomato, peas, and cooked potato, and simmer over medium heat until potato is tender and liquid is thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve over rice, garnished with cilantro and scallions with lots of cold beer. Keep in mind the Brangus is strictly while we can get it, there is limited supply right now so grab it while you can.

The yolk of a quail egg is usually a darker orange than typical commercial chicken egg yolks, with a higher yolk-to-white ratio. One-third the size of a large chicken egg, their small size makes them a good food for children. Our quail eggs come from Munkebo Farm, a permaculture farm located in Manor, Texas.

WHEATSVILLE'S ONE BIG THING

Every week, Wheatsville staff picks the product we're most excited about right now!

This weeks 'One Big Thing' is Cara Cara Navel Oranges

Why do we love them?

1. It's citrus season and they are a delectable addition our line up!

2. They're a great source of vitamin C to replenish you from your eventful holiday season!

3. They have a unique, tangy flavor profile to titillate your taste buds!

Eat Your Fruits & Veggies

If you've made New Year's resolutions to exercise more and eat better, you're not alone. Most of us at least make a half-hearted attempt to prepare more meals for ourselves, maybe bringing lunch with us to work instead of eating out. I discovered this great salad-in-a-jar idea from Life Hacker that'll help on that last point. Basically, you take a canning jar, put your dressing at the bottom, layer hardier ingredients like nuts, quinoa, carrots, etc on top of that, and topping it off with the greens. The idea is the dressing and greens are kept separate and permit storage for several days. Grab one on your way out the door and just shake it up when you're ready to eat it. Try it out! We like Austin Organics' Salad Trio and Crazy Greens Salads, grown right here in Austin just for Wheatsville, but you can roll-your-own too. A salad can be made an entrée by adding protein, berries, sprouts, nuts, or grains. Make up a batch of salads on Sunday night and you're set for the work week! Here's to keeping that resolution this time.

It's citrus season! Citrus is a godsend to us in the wintertime. Trees lose their leaves, days shorten, nights get cold, and we have these great little chunks of sunshine to help us get through the day. Besides getting a good dose of Vitamin C which is essential in fighting off the common cold, citrus is delicious and beautiful. You can buy an orange most any day of the year but if you are like me and you prefer to eat fruit at the peak of its freshness and taste, try some citrus now. On January 14^th and 15^th, we're having a Citrus Celebration at Wheatsville. We'll have samples of most every variety of citrus we carry, so come by and rediscover an old favorite, or make a new one!

Our favorite variety of citrus this week is the Minneola Tangelo. Minneolas were developed in 1931 and are a cross between a Duncan grapefruit and a Dancy tangerine. The skins are relatively thin and easy to peel and the flesh is very juicy and tasty. Good for juicing or eating out of hand, they've got a stronger flavor than a Satsuma but are not overpowering.

Tasty 2012!

Welcome to a New Year full of Tasty & Healthy Treats from your Deli!!

We hope you enjoyed a deliciously relaxing holiday with family and friends! Resolved to eat well and get fit in 2012?! Our make-your-own salad bar is the place to do it! With a variety of greens and fixins like chopped veggies, seeds and all sorts of nibbles for just $7.99/lb, you can mix-n-match your salads to keep it fresh every day, and make that resolution last! Also, we have healthy veggie dishes like Lively Beets and Carrots, Lemon-Miso Kale and Greens with White Beans to keep mealtime a pleasure!

Cheese Tidbits

Texas Daily Harvest Cheese Curds are back! These are great eaten straight out of the bag, or used as an ingredient in one of your favorite cheesy dishes.

Citrus season is in full swing and Wheatsville will be celebrating with lots of samples on January 14th & 15th. Join us and celebrate our super selection of seasonal succulent citrus! Below are links to recipes and a blog on pairing Blood Oranges and Cheese.

Cheese Donuts With Meyere Lemon Confit

Goat Cheese and Citrus Salad

Blood Orange and Cheese Pairing

Windy Hill's Brangus Beef

We are proud to have Windy Hills Farms Brangus Beef from Ty Wolosin in our freezer! This amazing beef is grass fed and grass finished on alfalfa. The meat qualities of Angus mixed with the robust adaptability of the Brahma makes a great combination for the crazy Texas climate. Although it is grass fed, it cooks up more like grain finished beef. They only harvest one steer at a time, so supplies will be limited. We will have some stew meat later in the week and we have ground now. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed.

We have some Applegate Farms breaded Chicken Tenders, also in Gluten Free, on special.

Look for some more options in the Dewberry Hills Chickens. We now have hearts and livers and feet and we will have parts available as well.

With the new year keep your eyes out for some exciting new products like Bison Sausage from Pederson's.

Gold Label

New Year, New Look – Same Great Product in Bulk Teas!

If you've shopped bulk teas in the last few days of 2011 you may have noticed NEW gold labels on all of our wonderful organic and fair trade teas! Have no fear! These are still all of your same favorites at all the same prices, but like our friends at Frontier Co-op (our biggest supplier of bulk teas), we wanted to highlight the wonderful Organic Fair Trade tea selection that we offer! The new labels also include brewing instructions and additional information for each tea variety – so that you can brew the perfect cup, every time!

The days might be getting longer but the coldest nights of the year may well still be ahead of us. Stay warm this new year with your favorite Organic Fair Trade Teas – green, black, and herbal varieties – from Frontier co-op, in the bulk herbs section of YOUR co-op!

Save Money!

With Owner Appreciation Days starting on the 14^th of this month I just want to take the time to remind you to place your bulk pre-orders. Orders can be placed over the phone or in person with a bulk clerk and we will make sure it arrives during Owner Appreciation Week so that you can use your 15% off discount. And remember, with pre-orders you save an additional 5%!

Also over in the Bulk Department we will be having daily specials for owners over the course of Owner Appreciation Days, a little bigger discount just to say thank you. Check back next week when I will have that list posted for you.

Beer & Wine

Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye IPA is here! Ruthless IPA is brewed with this rustic grain for refined flavors - combining the peppery spice of rye and the bright citrusy flavors of whole-cone hops. I can't wait to try one!

Black Beret Grenache Syrah now $9.99 regularly $10.99! A deep, dark blood red wine with a light-medium bodied Nose. Easy berries and heavy spices give way to oak, deep cherry and blackberries.

Patronage Rebates

In the fall of 2011, we began distributing Patronage Rebates from the Fiscal Year Ending in May 2011. Since then, we have distributed 88% of the rebate dollars issued, which is about $41,090! The Wheatsville Staff have made it a goal to distribute at least 92% of the rebate dollars by the time distribution ends on February 15, 2012 so we still have some work to do.

There are a few things you can do to help us reach our goal. If you are not sure you have a rebate, feel free to contact our Ownership Coordinator or speak to a Hospitality Clerk at the front of the store. Also, if you have friends and family that are co-op owners, ask them if they have checked to see that they have a Patronage Rebate. Lastly, if you are currently out of town or unable to make it to Wheatsville by the time distribution comes to a close, please contact our Ownership Coordinator to make alternate arrangements for pick-up or to donate your rebate to the current Community Action group. Patronage Rebates must be picked up and redeemed by February 15, 2012.

We are very excited to have received the opportunity to share our profits and hope that each and every one of our eligible owners redeems their rebate. If you have any questions about your rebate, please contact our Ownership Coordinator at membership@wheatsville.coop.

People's Community Clinic

With the New Year begins our new Community Action schedule! For the month of January, People's Community Clinic will receive 1% of our Wednesday sales as well as additional donations that shoppers make at the cash register. You can even donate your reusable bag credits!

People's Community Clinic has been serving the Austin and Central Texas community for over 40 years and is one of the oldest continually-running independent clinics for primary care in America. Their mission is to improve the health of medically underserved and uninsured Central Texans by providing high quality, affordable healthcare.

In addition to raising cash donations, we are hosting a Children's Book Drive throughout the month of January. Feel free to deposit gently used children's books in the drop-boxes by our exit doors. They will then be made available to the children in the clinic's waiting room.

Community Action is a great way to expand democratic involvement and owner participation in our co-op and we thank everyone who voted in the Wheatsville Election for these wonderful organizations. We look forward to working with our new Community Action groups and appreciate your generosity and support!

I hope you have a most excellent week!

We’ve devoted this week’s crop of new products to the health and happiness of some of our best friends, our pets. Here’s to giving them the best jump possible on the New Year. You can find all of these items in aisle 4, in our pet section.

AvoDerm Naturals Dog and Cat
There is no more visible indicator of problems with your dog's or cat's overall health than issues with the skin and coat, and the right nutrients in the right proportions are crucial to keeping your pet healthy. Avocado and avocado oil can help support the skin and coat from the inside out for the protection your pet needs. AvoDerm is formulated to be rich in high quality fats and oils with a balanced Omega-6 to Omega-3 fatty acid ratio, and provides quality protein sources that are ideal for pets with sensitivities to other protein sources. AvoDerm is corn- and wheat-free, and is naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols to ensure freshness and palatability.

1 3oz canned dog formulas, Reg. $1.99;
30 lb. dry dog formulas, Reg. $49.99
7 lb dry cat formulas, Reg. $20.99-22.99

Castor & Pollux ORGANIX Puppy Food

ORGANIX Puppy formula provides your puppy with the nutrition needed to grow up to be strong, healthy and full of energy (sometimes maybe more energy than you want!). As with all ORGANIX dry formulas, certified organic free-range chicken is the #1 ingredient for great taste and outstanding digestibility. Organic flaxseed is added for healthy skin and coat, and organic barley and organic brown rice provide soluble and insoluble fiber to help maintain a healthy intestinal tract. ORGANIX Puppy contains no corn, wheat, or soy. In other words, only the good stuff, none of the bad. ORGANIX is ideal for puppies after weaning, and is also recommended for pregnant and lactating dogs.

5.25 lbs, Reg. $15.99

Wellness Dog Stews; Chicken with Peas & Carrots,
and Beef with Carrots & Potatoes

Wellness Dog Stews are natural, grain-free, home-style simmered dishes of tender cuts in savory gravy. These deliciously chunky, slow-cooked classics use whole food ingredients that provide exceptional nutrition and extraordinary flavor, with most of the protein source being named meat. As a special treat or as part of your regular feeding, Wellness canned foods are yet another delicious way for your dog to eat healthy.

12.5 oz, Reg. $2.59

Wellness Healthy Indulgence Cat Pouches

Wellness Healthy Indulgence is for cats that prefer hearty slices of poultry or seafood in rich flavorful gravy, instead of pâté style food. Water consumption is crucial to a cat's overall health and can help prevent common Feline Lower Urinary Tract Diseases (FLUTD); since cats do not have a strong thirst drive, it’s important for a cat to ingest water with its food. Feeding Wellness Healthy Indulgence entrées is a healthy and delicious way to help increase your cat's water intake. Added cranberries and blueberries are packed with antioxidant phyto-nutrients that help maintain proper urinary tract health. Wellness is the only brand that offers grain-free and wheat/gluten-free natural pouches.

3 oz, Reg. $1.39

Dogswell Happy Hips Chicken Breast Jerky Treats

If your dog's hips could talk, they would have only great things to say about Dogswell Happy Hips Chicken Breast Dog Treats – a meaty jerky treat. These healthy snacks preserve the health of your dog's hips and joints by supplying a great source of glucosamine and chondroitin. These 100% cage-free real meat treats contain no by-products, hormones, antibiotics, BHA/BHT, fillers or artificial flavors and are high in protein and low in fat so you can be sure you are giving your dog a healthy, digestible treat.
Each treat is approximately 5" length.

5 oz, Reg. $5.99

Halo Liv-A-Littles Chicken Breast Protein Treats

Liv-A-Littles Chicken Breast Treats let you reward your pet with the taste and benefits of a high-protein snack. They can be given whole or easily crumbled and added to food as a tasty incentive at mealtime. The ingredients? Just freeze-dried chunks of whole chicken breast!

Ark Naturals Breath-Less Fizzy Plaque Zapper

Formulated by veterinarians, the Breath-less Plaque Zapper is one of the easiest ways to help your pets stay dentally healthy. As your pets drink from their water bowl, Plaque-Zapper's clinically tested enzymes stop debris from sticking to teeth, neutralize the ph level of saliva, and deter the growth of bacteria to help control plaque, tartar, and bad breath. The fizz lasts 3-5 seconds and enzymes remain active for 6-8 hours. The active ingredients include a proprietary blend of lysozyme, glucoxidase, amylase, papain, amyloglucosidase, peptizyme, and lactoferrin. Totally odorless, colorless, and tasteless, your pets will not even notice the difference in their drinking water!

WHEATSVILLE'S ONE BIG THING

Every week, Wheatsville staff picks the product we're most excited about right now!

This week it's Black Eyed Peas!

Why do we love them?

1. Tradition! They bring good luck when eaten on New Year's Day!

2. They make a delicious Hoppin' John!

3. They're available in bulk, in cans and in lots of special dishes made fresh in our deli!

Good Luck

Happy New Year!

There's an old tradition in many parts of the southern US of eating black eyed peas and collard greens on New Year's Eve. Black eyed peas bring good luck and collard greens wealth. I'm sure you would be OK if you skipped out on the peas and greens this year, but why risk it? We've got plenty of incredible Locally Grown Organic Collards from Johnson's Backyard Garden and Fresh, Texas-Grown Black Eyed Peas in your produce department this week.

There are many ways of preparing this traditional New Year's dish, but I like to keep it simple: sauté some onions and garlic with cubed ham on a skillet, add a cup of chicken broth and some finely chopped collards. You cook that for about 20 minutes, until the greens are tender. The peas take longer, especially if you're not using canned peas. If you've got a pressure cooker it can be done in as little as 10 minutes. Using a slow cooker or stovetop can take up to four hours.

I think part of the fun of living in a place is participating in local traditions. Whether going to the rodeo or something as simple as eating some peas and greens on New Year's, it can be a fun way to feel plugged in to the community you live in. Here's to your fortune and luck in 2012!

Celebrate

It's time to celebrate. No Matter what you celebrate, food generally plays a huge role in it. Wheatsville is all about some celebrating, so let us help you bring it all together.

Try some of Wheatsville's own sausages. The Tipsy Cow Beef Sausage is great by itself or as a component of another dish. You can substitute it for just about anything that calls for ground beef. Red Sauces, Stroganoff, Burgers, and Queso are all great ways to use this sausage. Speaking of Queso, our Chorizo is another great sausage to add to your favorite Queso recipe. You could try something a little different and use our Beef and Lamb Curry Sausage in a dip or on its own. Either of our Italian Sausages are great additions to any sauce or dip.

If you want something a little messier, try some Six Pepper Wings. These wings are covered with Southern Style Spices' 6 Pepper Rub. Put them in a 350 degree oven on some parchment paper, and cook for about twenty minutes until the skin starts to dry out. Flip and baste with your favorite wing sauce every ten minutes until they reach your desired crispness, but no less than three bastings. Spicy and easy they are great for a party.

Another great party protein is smoked Salmon. We have Fish Brothers Garlic or Black Pepper Smoked Salmon. Also from Fish Brothers we have a cold smoked Lox. You could dice and mix it with a cream cheese for a delightful spread.

Party Eats

Countdown to PARTY! Let our Wheatsville Deli cater your New Year's Eve party, and keep you in the fun! Get your night started with a bit of bubbly and Brie with Preserves, an Antipasta Platter, and a Fresh Veggies Tray with Cashew-Tamari Dip. Move on to the big guns, and let guests prepare their own nibbles from our vegan Middle Eastern Tray, with pita, hummus, tabouli, dolmas and veggies, and snack from our omnivore's delight Sliced Cold Cuts & Cheeses Tray, featuring fresh-sliced pastrami, ham, turkey and salami, plus swiss, white cheddar, muenster and provolone – don't forget Sandwich Veggies and Organic Bread & Condiments for the full meal! No matter what time you put out your Popcorn Tofu Party Bag, we're sure it'll be a hit, don't forget to grab an extra bottle of Cashew-Tamari Dressing for dunking! And every party needs a happy ending, even if that ending comes well past midnight – and so we bring you our Dessert Tray, a beautiful, bountiful assortment of our favorite house-baked sweet bars, bite-size and oh-so scrumptious!

If you're looking for an easy New Year's Day Brunch, we have the perfect catering trays for that as well – how about a Banana Bread Platter, Muffin Tray, Fresh Fruit Tray or a Bagel Tray, abundant with local RockStar Bagels and Organic Valley cream cheese? Check out our online menu and call the Deli at 512-478-1164 to place your order. Just let us know what you're looking for and we will do our best to make your party dreams a delicious reality!

We'll also have plenty of party favorites on hand, like large grab'n'go containers of our infamous Popcorn Tofu, our savory, spreadable Garlic Cheddar Cheese Balls, thick and creamy Spinach Feta Dip and amazing vegan Walnut Pecan Pate, made with organic nuts!

Rest assured, we'll have bushels of black-eyed peas for your annual New Year's Day feasting, too! Northerners may not be in the know, but down South, black-eyed peas are eaten on New Year's Day to ensure good luck and prosperity in the coming year! So be sure to grab some of our Deli's Texas Caviar, black-eyed peas tossed with crunchy veggies and marinated in a simple vinaigrette – this dish makes a great side, and is also delicious spooned over salad greens for a nice first course! Also on hand will be our Braised Greens with Black-Eyed Peas, a traditional dish made with organic kale and peas, and the perfect – nay, necessary! – accompaniment to any New Year's Day feast! And, we'll have our Lucky Black-Eyed Pea Soup, a healthy and hearty soup chock full of vegetables, kale and those lucky peas, all for you! Since we're closed on New Year's Day, come on in and shop with us on New Year's Eve, or earlier in the week, and stick your black-eyed pea dishes in the fridge til the First – we'll keep you lucky all year long!

Hoppin' John

Well we are only four days away from the brand new year! And over in the bulk department we are fully stocked on all sorts of snacks and mixes you might need for those always exciting New Years parties.

But don't forget the Black Eyed Peas ($1.79/lb) for luck, we will have plenty in the bin and pre-bagged for a quick grab and go. And this week I have a recipe for you that I used to eat all the time on the Louisiana coast and it is perfect for a New Years Day meal, Hoppin' John! So enjoy and have a wonderful new year.

Perfect for Parties

We have what you need for your New Year's party cheesy needs. We have cubed cheeses for easy to make party trays, cheeses for Queso, sliced cheeses for meat and cheese party trays. Looking for easy to make party food? Take a block of Cream Cheese and top with Bronco Bob's Smoked Raspberry Chipotle sauce and serve with crackers. Our grocery department is now stocking Austin Slow Burn Habenero and Jalapeno Jellies. They go great with any of our Bries or chevres.

Also check out our Salami and New York Sharp Cheddar Party Pack. We also have some delicious cheeses that would go great on a cheese plate. Our Raspberry Bellavitano and our Balsamic Bellavitano would make great additions to a cheese plate. As would our Black Diamond 5 year cheddar, Dubliner and Veldhuizen Red Neck Cheddar.

Chile Con Queso – I would replace the American Cheese with 2/3 lb of Asadero and 2/3 lb of New York Sharp. Shred these cheeses for easier melting.

Nutiva 100% Organic Chia Seeds
Revered by the early Aztec and Mayan cultures, chia seeds are a super food packed with nutrients, omega-3 and -6 fatty acids, and antioxidants. One ounce of chia contains approximately 4 grams of protein, 9 grams of fat, and 11 grams of dietary fiber. The seeds also contain the essential minerals phosphorus, manganese, calcium, potassium and sodium in amounts comparable to flax seeds. Add chia to beverages, sprinkle directly onto meals, or soak to make a jelly—the applications are infinite. Nutiva Chia can be found in aisle 3, near baking needs. 14oz, Reg. $8.99

Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar Drinks
Apple cider vinegar has been highly regarded throughout history, having been prescribed by Hippocrates for its natural cleansing, healing, and energizing qualities as early as 400 B.C. Now you can enjoy it in a convenient refreshing beverage; choose Original Apple Cider Vinegar with Honey, Apple Cider with Cinnamon, or Apple and Concord Grape with Açai. Bragg drinks can be found in the beverage cooler nearest to the registers. 16oz, Reg. $2.39

We're happy to now offer a selection of their juices-- Pomegranate Blueberry Cherry, Super C Juice, VitaSea Juice Blend, and Strawberry Banana Smoothie-- in the juice cooler located near the Bulk department. 16oz, Reg. $3.69
