Kim... is "saucy" meets bad ass... she's a married mother of three very "active" children, manages an Italian restaurant and is one of the original "Saucy Sisters". On top of a hectic schedule she also helps with a ministry outreach that feeds the homeless on weekends... she has an amazingly generous and giving heart and is truly one awesome woman! We are so blessed to call her a friend and a fellow Earth Monkey Mom!

   With March fastly approaching we Saucy Sisters are gearing up to what we think, and hope will be our biggest market season yet!  Why you ask?  Well, this year in addition to the Thursday Market in Medford we are adding Tuesdays in Ashland...and Ashland will be big!



     I know many of you have not yet had the Saucy experience. During the off season we have sold a good number of products out of the restaurant (Redrock Italian Eatery) but come market season we expect to make 70-100 of each product weekly. So it is nearly time for these sisters to get back to work, dust off our Saucy Wagon (bring it home for the husband to fix), and get this valley Saucy!



Today I am giving you a super simple Saucy recipe that even Lindsay can do!

(editors note: thats rough Kim...Lindsay can mess up  follow a recipe just fine!)

And the best part is you only need 2 things:

1 bag of frozen or fresh cheese tortelini

1 tub of Saucy Sisters Creamy Pesto ….mmmmmmmmm

Cook the tortellini as directed, and Linz that means boil water and let the little guys float. (little guys, now that is something Lindsay knows about!) Strain them, and run them under cold water until they are cooled down. Add them to a bowl, scoop in some Creamy Pesto, toss together and Wa-la! A super easy pasta salad that the whole family will eat. Now if you want to get adventurous you could add some diced bell pepper, broccoli, or even chopped chicken….whatever you like!





So remember you can get our products every day at Redrock Italian Eatery (after 4pm), Starting March 15, Tuesdays at the Ashland growers market and Thursdays at the Medford growers market!

[A Note From the Earth Monkey Moms...]

I've known Kim since high school... and let me tell you, she's always been saucy:) We were so excited when she agreed to be an EMM contributor, partially because she's an awesome mom and friend and I knew she would do a great job... and selfishly because I am addicted to her sauces and any excuse I can get to consume said sauces I will take.



I tend to be a little gun shy of fancy sounding recipes... and as the self proclaimed "Anti-Marthas" Gena and I had to psych ourselves up to take on the daunting task of (dah dah dah) following a recipe. In true monkey fashion, we thought we could set the 5 kids up with glitter glue and markers and they would decorate their ornaments angelically while we made the bruschetta. Let me just say, Bwahahahahahahahah.  HmmHmm excuse me, anyway that didn't quite work so after an hour of hardcore crafting and 5 kids covered in glitter, we started cooking. And here's the thing... it was sooo easy, and SUPER yummy!! If the Anti-Marthas can do it, you can do it too. So, just in time for party season, here is the bruschetta recipe that will make you look like a gourmet chef and possibly add 5 pounds of junk to your trunk if you down 14 pieces like yours truly...





Saucy Sister's Easy Bruschetta Recipe...

You will need:

1 tub of Saucy Sister's Pesto

4 good size tomatoes 

I small can of black olives

Shredded parmesan

1 baguette



First slice your baguette in half inch slices, place on a cookie sheet and put in a 350 degree oven until lightly toasted
