A NOTE FROM YOUR PUBLISHERS 

Dear Ramsey Residents, 

May is a month to honor mothers and the brave people 

who gave their lives while serving in the U.S. military. 

Flowers are in bloom, temperatures are rising, and the unofficial 

start to summer kicks off. 

As we celebrate the mothers in our lives, consider a gift 

certificate to The Mindful Cafe or give her some much needed ‘she’ time by 

sending her to Club Pilates. If you plan to cook a special meal, our recipe 

page makes dinner a cinch, especially when shopping at Steve’s Market. 

Ramsey honors our fallen heroes in military service with a patriotic parade 

down Main Street. If you find yourself at home Memorial Day, come out 

and show your support. 

Both Mother’s Day and Memorial Day evoke the virtue of gratitude. It is 

with heartfelt thanks that I acknowledge how you have embraced Ramsey 

Neighbors and excitedly welcomed us into your home. 

I look forward to bringing you continuous uplifting community human 

interest stories and information about the best local brands and services 

to support. 

May the 4th Be With You, 

Salina McLaughlin 

PUBLISHER 

Dear Ramsey Residents, 

Let me start by saying thank you, Ramsey. I am grateful 

beyond measure that our first issue of Ramsey Neighbors 

was embraced by you. I am thrilled by the excitement it 

generated and invigorated by the forward momentum. 

The review I heard over and over that meant the most 

to me: you are happy about the positivity we are putting 

into the universe. Our goal is to bring people together and highlight what 

is good in the community and right in the world. Who doesn’t need more 

of that these days? 

Speaking of highlighting what is good in our community, meet the Behrmann 

family. You think you know all the ways they contribute to our 

town? Think again. And what is right in the world? I’d like to introduce 

you to Second Lieutenant Sophie-Leigh Baxter-Clark, a graduate of 

Ramsey High School, stationed in South Korea. In her own words, she 

shares with us why she chose a life of service. Throughout the issue, you’ll 

get to meet more of the amazing people who keep Ramsey moving forward 

every day. It is their stories that Ramsey Neighbors is eager to share. 

Together, we tell the stories of the good being brought into the world that 

start here in our community. 

May your Mother’s Day and Memorial Days be filled with love 

and sunshine!

(TFG) is an independent wealth 

management firm located in 

Franklin Lakes, NJ. Taylor Financial 

Group works with high 

net worth individuals and families, 

small businesses, and independent 

women. With more 

than twenty years of experience 

in wealth management, 

TFG uses their diverse tax and 

legal background to provide 

unbiased, comprehensive, and 

unique financial solutions to all 

of their clients. 

“We love what we do and are deeply 

committed to every single client,” says 

Debra Taylor, principal and founder. 

To understand why Debra has focused 

her life on financial planning, it is 

helpful to understand her childhood, 

as tragedy struck her family at a young 

age. “When I was 10, my father passed 

away suddenly from a heart attack. It 

was a devastating and scary time. My 

mother was literally forced overnight 

to become the “breadwinner” for the 

family. She was driven by her fear and 

uncertainty of the future and by her 

resolve to provide a secure future for 

my two brothers and me. Not knowing 

how she would sustain a comfortable 

lifestyle for us (and how she would provide 

for our future) created an urgency 

within her. During my childhood, 

I watched her become a determined, 

ambitious woman who was focused

on protecting us from financial (and 

other) insecurities – though she faced 

many. As I reached high school, I began 

helping with some of the hardships 

our family faced, like caring for 

my severely learning disabled brother. 

By the time I was a senior in high 

school, I knew I wanted to pursue a 

profession where I could help people 

protect themselves, defend themselves, 

and secure themselves from the uncertainties 

of life,” says Debra Taylor. 

“I knew from then on that whether 

it be a death, divorce, or even retirement, 

I wanted to assist people in need 

and support them on their journeys 

towards financial security.” 

Taylor Financial Group is committed 

to helping clients create a retirement 

plan to maximize their 

after tax returns and keep more 

money in their pocket (and away 

from Uncle Sam!). They work with 

clients from New York, New 

Jersey and 20 other states. Because 

its principal and founder 

is a woman, TFG can relate to 

women in a way many other 

firms cannot. The firm serves 

fewer than 100 clients. Debra’s 

commitment to her clients and 

advanced planning skills are the 

reason that she and Taylor Financial 

Group had 100% client 

retention in 2018. “Our goal is 

to add convenience and financial 

security to your life. All of 

our services are designed to do just 

that. Whether providing investment 

management, end-to-end financial 

planning services or working in tandem 

with your other professionals, we 

are on your team to offer simplicity 

and clarity,” says Debra Taylor. 

“At Taylor Financial Group, we live by 

the Golden Rule – we treat others how 

we would like to be treated. As a result, 

I have designed every aspect of our 

practice to support my clients on their 

personal journeys. I am so grateful 

that every day I have the opportunity 

to help align my clients’ wealth with 

their dreams in a comfortable, 

confident manner. Here 

our mission is to exceed 

our clients’ expectations 

every day. I am truly 

blessed to do what I do,” 

says Debra Taylor.

RESIDENT FEATURE 

The Behrmann Family: 

Love in Motion 

joined the fire department five years ago. Laura is a past 

president of Ramsey Ambulance and honorary member. 

She retired from actively riding on the ambulance about 

three years ago. She is also an administrative member 

and treasurer of Ramsey Rescue. 

What do you like most about being part of these 

organizations? 

Brian: All three organizations are wonderful to be a 

part of, each for various reasons. They have a lot of well 

trained, caring individuals, who dedicate their time to 

training and responding. It’s very rewarding to be able 

to help our neighbors when they need it most. I also find 

it very rewarding to share my knowledge and experiences 

with the younger members as they grow and progress 

through the organizations. What started out for me as 

continuing a family tradition has grown into a real love 

for each organization. It’s been an incredible way for me 

to give back to the community that has been good to me 

in so many ways. 

Laura, you are the president of the Board of 

Education. Tell us all about that. 

I was elected to the Board of Education 11 years ago 

when I was pregnant with our son, Connor. Another 

Board trustee approached me a year prior and suggested 

that I would be a good fit for the Board. I attended meetings 

for nearly a year before running myself. Almost two 

years ago, my colleagues elected me Board President. I 

am humbled and honored to serve our community in this 

capacity. I have had the opportunity to work and collaborate 

with some wonderful Trustees as well as a dedicated 

and innovative School Administration and Staff. 

What is the most interesting project you have worked 

on for the BOE? 

Laura: The Bond Referendum is the most interesting

It is said that any great town is a sum of its best parts. Ramsey is a great community because of the 

people in it. Meet the Behrmann family. Laura and Brian’s passion for volunteering brought them 

together and ignited the spark that keeps them committed to making a difference every day. 

Tell us your Ramsey story. What brought you here? 

Brian: Well, I was born and raised here and never left! 

My parents also grew up here. My maternal grandparents 

owned Dixon Dairy Farm and Dixon Street is named after 

them. Our children are the 4th generation on both 

sides of my family to live in Ramsey. My grandfather, 

David Dixon, was a Charter Member of the Ramsey Ambulance 

Corps and my great-grandfather, James Dixon 

and my great uncle Eugene Dixon were Charter Members 

of the Ramsey Fire Department – so you can see my 

roots run deep! 

Laura, did you grow up here too? 

No, I grew up in Franklin Lakes but moved here in 1999. 

My parents were relocating to Florida and I was in the 

midst of law school at Seton Hall. I was looking for a 

community close by with a nice downtown area and easy 

access to the train line. 

How did you meet? 

Brian: You could say Ramsey brought us together. We 

met volunteering here. I have been a member of Ramsey 

Ambulance and Ramsey Rescue since I was at Ramsey 

High school. 

Laura had been a volunteer EMT in Franklin Lakes since 

she was a student at Ramapo High School and joined 

Ramsey Ambulance a few years after she moved to town. 

We met on a call, went out on our first date a few weeks 

later, got engaged 8 ½ months later on New Year’s Eve 

and were married 8 ½ months after that! It was a quick 

courtship, but all because of our passion for giving back 

to the community! 

That’s a great story! Are you still both still involved 

with Rescue and the Ambulance Corps? 

Brian: I have been Chief of both Ramsey Rescue and 

Ramsey Ambulance. I’m currently a captain at Rescue. I

OPPORTUNITY 

project I have worked on to date. I served as a member 

of a more than twenty person committee who examined 

the infrastructure of our school district and the needs of 

our students. The committee represented a cross section 

of the Ramsey Community as well as our School Community. 

Balancing the needs of our students in the 21st 

Century, learning in schools built for a much different 

time, with the burden placed 

on our taxpayers was a difficult 

and challenging task. I’m proud 

of the outcome and thankful for 

the support of our community. 

What are you excited about in 

the future of Ramsey Schools? 

Laura: Definitely the recent roll 

out of Profile of a Ramsey Graduate 

and our emphasis on mental 

health awareness and being 

a Stigma-Free community. Our 

children are growing up in a 

much different time than we did 

and most certainly than our parents 

and grandparents. Ramsey 

schools are focused on preparing 

our children for a future in 

which they can be successful no matter what they choose 

to do upon high school graduation (college, trade school, 

workforce, military). School is no longer just about 

memorizing facts and figures; it is about critical thinking, 

collaboration, creativity and communication. It is 

about developing our children to be independent thinkers 

with a skill set that sets them on the path to success 

in whatever walk of life they choose. I am very proud of 

our emphasis on mental health awareness. We are teaching 

our children and our community that mental illness 

is not shameful. Rather, we should reach out and help 

those around us who are suffering with a mental illness

in our community with cancer. There are resources available 

and we continue to work on getting that information 

to those who need it most. 

I know you are both involved with the L.E.A.D 

program. What is that? 

Brian: L.E.A.D. stands for Law Enforcement Against 

Drugs. It is a wonderful program 

lead by Officer Sean Beamon of 

the Ramsey Police Department 

which provides anti-drug education 

to Ramsey students. Officer 

Beamon meets with the fifth 

graders at Dater School and the 

Academy of St. Paul on a weekly 

basis in the second half of the 

school year. His lessons include 

developing skills such as goal 

setting, decision making, identifying 

and managing emotions, 

effective communication and 

bonds/relationships – the foundation 

for a healthy lifestyle. 

Then he introduces students to 

the dangers of drugs and alcohol. 

We are two of seven parent coordinators for the fifth 

grade L.E.A.D. program this year. Our goal is to support 

Officer Beamon and provide our fifth graders with social 

events designed to increase positive interactions with one 

another and with law enforcement. 

Your son, Connor, is a Boy Scout. What does he like 

about scouting? 

Brian: Connor recently bridged from Cub Scout Pack 

306 to Boy Scout Troop 31. He loves it! Connor enjoys 

camping, cooking, working on various badges and team 

competitions. He enjoys the camaraderie of the group. 

It’s a boy led troop so they are learning various leadership 

skills as well. 

What are you excited about in your daughter 

Madison’s future? 

Laura: Madison will really benefit from all the changes 

we are making in the Ramsey School District, so that is 

something we are really looking forward to! 

Do you guys ever sleep? Seriously, what is your secret 

to achieving a good home work life balance and still 

being so active in the community by volunteering so 

much of your time? 

Laura: Organization and communication! We have a color-coded 

electronic calendar to manage it all. We volunteer 

extensively in the community and Connor participates 

in several sports, scouts, church youth group, and 

takes trumpet lessons. Balancing all of that with both of 

our work schedules can sometimes be a challenge, but we 

make it work. We carve out time as a family and now that 

Madison is a little older, we are back to planning a date 

night once a month. We also try to volunteer together 

when we can! In addition to L.E.A.D, Rescue and Ambulance, 

we are both on the Board for the Ramsey Soccer 

Association and volunteer at our church, Lutheran 

Church of the Redeemer. As you can see, we truly believe 

that giving back to our community is important and we 

are instilling that in our children.

In your eyes, what makes our community special? 

Brian: Ramsey is a very unique community – many families 

are similar to ours in that one or both parents are 

Ramsey graduates and have chosen to also raise their 

families here. We are astounded by how many parents 

we see at various school functions who also went to high 

school with Brian. Why do they choose Ramsey? We 

have a vibrant downtown area filled with great restaurants 

and shops; our children have a myriad of opportunities 

to participate in; our library offers a large array of 

programs to residents of all ages; we have many opportunities 

to come together as a community (Memorial Day, 

July 4th, Halloween, Ramsey Day, Taste of Ramsey, baseball 

opening day, Veteran’s Day, Home for the Holidays); 

and we have easy access to New York City by train or car

COMMUNITY 

Memorial Day: Honoring Our Military 

Why I Chose to Serve 

By Second Lieutenant Sophie-Leigh Baxter-Clark 

Platoon Leader, 188th Military Police Company and 903rd Military Working Dog Detachment, South Korea 

My story starts in 2003, when my family emigrated to 

the United States from South Africa, via England. I 

moved around a lot as a child, so Ramsey was truly 

my first home. I started school at Tisdale Elementary, was the 

last 5th grade class of Hubbard, and finally moved up to the 

High School as a member of the Class of 2013. 

We were close family friends with the Reillys when Michael 

passed away in 2008. Thousands of people poured into the 

town for his funeral; he was a Marine. During my sophomore 

year of high school, CPL Mike Jankiewicz returned home 

from Afghanistan in a flag-laden casket. I couldn’t think of 

any way better to pay my respects than pursuing a career in 

the Service. 

While I attended Ramsey High School, I was a member of 

the Big Blue Marching Band and Wind Ensemble. As a sophomore 

I was shyly playing the Euphonium, but as a Senior I 

was a Section Leader of the Baritones in marching band, first 

chair Euphonium in the Wind Ensemble, and a Trombone 

player in the award-winning Jazz Band. The mentorship and 

leadership opportunities I received through the music program 

from older students, the staff, and Mr. Bialkin were instrumental 

in my development as a young leader. 

Being an immigrant shaped my decision in many ways. I 

knew in my heart that being in the military was what I wanted. 

I felt that it was a way to give back to a country that had 

given me and my family so much freedom and opportunity, 

as well as a way to protect that freedom for my mother, 

sister and the rest of our community. While my classmates 

struggled through choosing which colleges to apply to, I had 

only one in mind: The Citadel, The Military College of South 

Carolina. The most prestigious military school outside of the 

United States Military Academy at West Point, The Citadel is 

a small public military college in Charleston, the last of any 

public institution to lift their ban on female cadets in 1996. 

I graduated Ramsey High School and matriculated into the 

South Carolina Corps of Cadets as a member of the Class of 

2017 at just 17 years old. The Class of 2017 graduated just 

over 400 Cadets, only 5% of which was female. 

During my tenure at The Citadel, I climbed the ranks from 

Cadet Private to Major, holding the positions of Recruiting 

Corporal, Company Supply NCO, Instrumental Music Di- 

rector’s Assistant, and Battalion Academic Officer. I was 

a member of the Regimental Band and Pipes as a Baritone 

and First Trombone player, the National History 

Honors Society, and Criminal Justice Society. I majored 

in Non-Western History and minored in Criminal Justice 

and Intelligence & Homeland Security. I spent the 

summer between my Sophomore and Junior year in Edinburgh, 

Scotland, representing the United States at the 

Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. In January of 2017, 

I was afforded the opportunity to march in the Inaugural 

Parade for President Trump. After just 4 years, I 

graduated Magna Cum Laude with a 3.87 GPA and a 

Commission into the United States Army Military Police 

Corps as a Second Lieutenant. I was the first person, 

male or female, from Ramsey to be accepted to and 

graduate from The Citadel. 

After graduating college, I attended the United States 

Army Military Police Basic Officer Leaders Course. I’m 

currently deployed to South Korea with the 188th Military 

Police Company where I’m the 3rd Platoon Leader. 

As a Platoon Leader, I’m responsible for the Combat 

Support training, Law Enforcement duties, and welfare 

of over 50 Soldiers and Korean Augmentees to the US 

Army (KATUSAs) ranging in rank from Private to Staff 

Sergeant. It’s a privilege to work for these Soldiers day 

in and day out as they protect Area IV logistical nodes 

and keep our community safe halfway across the world. 

It’s an honor to represent Ramsey everywhere I go, 

knowing that it has shaped me tremendously into who I 

am today. Go Rams!

Ramsey community and to build on the good work already 

being done by the Ramsey Library staff. For a little 

about myself - I served as Director of the Leonia Public 

Library for four years and before that was a program/ 

adult services librarian at the Hoboken Public Library. In 

my time as a professional librarian, I’ve worked to create 

libraries that offer function as a dynamic community 

organization, providing a range of services from STEM 

tools and classes to digital collections to fun events and 

training. I believe strongly that public libraries serve a vital 

and diverse function in local communities, providing 

services to all members of the community. In addition 

to our physical collections for borrowing, libraries now 

offer classes in technologies and STEM, encourage the 

arts and the development of personal skills, provide job 

seeking resources, ESL classes, homework resources and 

much more. My passion is to continually seek new and 

innovative services, collections and events to offer - and I 

intend to do just this at the Ramsey Public Library 

So what new things ARE happening at the Ramsey 

Public Library? First - we just launched a new Tech Lending 

service, where library cardholders can borrow kits in 

robotics, circuitry, engineering and other STEM tools. 

You can also borrow gaming systems like the SNES and 

NES Classic, Sega Genesis and Atari. These tools will give 

students and people of all ages the chance to take home 

new tools to experiment and learn with - at no charge! 

We will also be pairing these with new classes and events 

for kids and teens we’ll be launching soon - so stay tuned 

with our email newsletter, website, or social media for 

details. 

We are also about to launch a brand new website, which 

will offer vastly improved useability, access to resources 

and improved design. Accessing information, signing up 

for programs or reserving a museum pass will all soon be 

easier with our new website. 

The library also now offers new services for downloadable 

and streaming content. Services like Hoopla and RB 

Digital offer access to eBooks, streaming movies and TV, 

streaming British TV shows, digital comics and magazines 

and much more. Use your library card to access via 

the Hoopla or RB Digital apps or via a home computer. 

Finally, we are starting to take some new directions 

in our events and classes. For adults we are offering a 

regular series of Trivia Nights with team trivia - we already 

offered 1980s Trivia, with 1970s and 1990s Trivia 

events coming soon. The library will also be offering a 

bi-monthly series of after hours concerts and open-mics 

for all ages. We will have a featured band followed by an 

open microphone for anyone to share their music, poetry 

or other performance art. There are many more programs 

we will be offering as well - a summer ComicCon, 

animal education programs, lectures, arts and crafts, etc. 

Check out our website and signup for our email newsletter 

to stay on top of all the new things happening at the 

Ramsey Library. I hope to see you there!

Club Pilates opened in 

Ramsey the day after 

Thanksgiving, 2016. We 

rapidly started learning about 

the Ramsey community and how 

strong the ties were. Everyone 

seemed to know everyone. We 

were fortunate that Mayor 

Deirdre Dillon was an early 

member. We were amazed that 

the Ramsey Cinema was financed 

by local Ramsey people, keeping 

a community theater (which 

has the best popcorn I’ve ever 

had!). We remain proud to be 

advertising there every time you 

go to the movies. 

Entering into this franchise 

(we were the second Club Pilates 

in New Jersey) was a new venture 

for me; my work experience had 

been with large corporations. I 

was proud to be someone closely 

involved in running the plants 

which made everything from 

grocery bags and sacks and 

bathroom tissue to computers and 

contact lenses. The tangibility of 

this kind of work really appealed 

to me. I liked working with people 

who were involved in creating 

something from something else. 

We were pushing out real products 

EXPERT CONTRIBUTOR 

Do Pilates Do Life! 

By Joan Mokray, Owner of Club Pilates Ramsey 

every day. With Club Pilates, I found we’re offering an exercise regimen which is 

changing people’s bodies, day by day. That too counts as something tangible! 

Our members are involved in creating something new in themselves, using the 

Pilates Reformer. Pilates is called a mind/body practice and it truly is. When you 

lie down (lie down to exercise! Can you believe it?) you are perfectly aligned. You 

then proceed to do your exercises in that state. All parts of your body have to work 

together, without one side or the other covering for the various weaknesses we’ve all 

developed over time. Computer shoulder slump? Bad back? Pilates helps! 

Pilates started out as physical therapy for wounded WWI soldiers. Therapy 

is something I know about as I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1989. I 

am fortunate in how the disease has progressed in my body and mind, but it has 

definitely made it important that I pay attention to my body’s capabilities. The best 

advice for someone with MS was to make sure you were at optimal levels so when an 

exacerbation came, you were starting from a high point. 

Going back to my experience, before I was making ‘things’ that people used. 

Now I’m providing an opportunity for people to remake their bodies and minds. 

We warn every person who considers 

signing up that they could become 

addicted. A solid and frequent Pilates 

practice changes your body. It changed 

mine. Men and women, old and young, 

everyone benefits. 

My weight didn’t change but hips 

and thighs and tummy got smaller. Fat 

turned into muscle. I’ll take it! 

We really want to meet everyone in 

Ramsey and see if we can help each of 

you to meet your goals. We want to 

be part of your community and want 

you to be part of ours. Over time we’ll 

introduce you to some of our members 

and you’ll get to hear how Pilates 

affected their lives for the better. Stop 

by or call and take a free introductory 

class. That will be the best way to find 

out if Pilates is for you.

Our lives are continually enriched by our pets; as such, don’t 

you feel it is your duty as their caretaker to provide the best care 

possible? Even if that means thinking outside 

the box? That is where Dr. Leah VanBlarcom 

comes in! Dr. Leah VanBlarcom is an AVCA 

Certified Animal Chiropractor at Bergen County 

Veterinary Center. She provides treatment that is 

supplemental to conventional veterinary medicine. 

Dr. VanBlarcom answers some of the most 

commonly asked patient questions for us. 

What is animal chiropractic and how can it help 

my pet? 

Animal Chiropractic care is the application of 

specific adjustments to the joints of the body 

that are not moving properly. These adjustments 

are intended to restore proper movement and 

function to the body. When joints are not moving 

correctly or are “stuck,” we refer to it as a “subluxation”. These 

subluxations can cause a number of issues such as: pain, stiffness, 

gait abnormalities, behavioral changes, trouble getting up and down 

stairs and/or jumping up and down, etc. A Chiropractic adjustment 

is ultimately a procedure in which a trained specialist (me!) uses 

either their hands or a special instrument to apply a controlled, sudden 

force to a spinal joint. The goal of this is to not only improve 

spinal motion and ease of moving in general but to also improve 

the body’s overall physical function. The adjustment is the perfect 

complement to traditional veterinary care because it promotes

healing and restoration of proper movement. Not only can chiropractic 

care treat an existing problem, but it can also be effective as 

a preventative measure. By keeping the body in 

proper alignment, we are promoting continual 

health and often preventing certain issues from 

happening in the first place. In short, chiropractic 

care can be used for prevention, to help senior 

pets struggling with pain due to arthritis and other 

ailments, as well as keeping working and show 

dogs functioning at the high level of performance 

that is expected of them. 

Why do vets and chiropractors work together? 

We work together so we can best treat your animals! 

It has been proven that working together 

has undeniable advantages in the treatment of 

ailments our patients might be experiencing. 

We are reminded of it daily. Often, we are not 

aware of an issue until our pet exhibits a physical symptom. These 

physical symptoms are most commonly age and/or injury related. 

We need to look at chiropractic care as another tool and additional 

treatment that a veterinarian has access to, to be as effective as 

possible in the care and treatment they provide and recommend 

for our pets. I would never tell anyone to use it in replacement of 

traditional medicine as it is most effective when used in conjunction 

with. 

Feel free to schedule an appointment with Dr. Leah VanBlarcom to find 

out why chiropractic care may be a great option for your furry friend!

COMMUNITY 

Get to know the 

Ramsey Area Garden Club 

The Ramsey Garden Club was established in 1982 by five friends. 

Their objective was to pursue their interest in all phases of home 

gardening and promote better horticultural practices, civic 

beauty and the conservation of natural resources. Civic 

beautification projects that began with the original 

founders continue today and include the planters 

at the Main Street Train Station, Main Street 

Triangle and Ramsey’s Old Stone House. By 

1993, with a membership of over forty, including 

many “out of towners,” the name was changed to 

the Ramsey Area Garden Club. Past and current 

projects of The Club include but are not limited to: 

A Garden at Winter’s Park in Mahwah; Christmas 

decorating at Skylands; The Hermitage and The Fell House; 

Horticultural Therapy; Annual Scholarship Awards to students 

pursuing careers in environmental studies, horticulture and 

landscape design; centerpieces for annual luncheons to benefit 

breast cancer research; Annual Plant Sale in May at the Ramsey 

Main Street Train Station; Garden Tours and Trips. 

The Ramsey Area Garden Club meets at 7 PM the second

flowering baskets, annuals, plants, perennials---all locally grown 

from member gardens. All are available for sale in the Railroad 

Station. The 10” Hanging Baskets will provide displays of Fuchsia, 

Ivy Geraniums, Begonia and other plants. The locally grown 

perennials are unusual plants and will be a wonderful addition 

to anyone’s garden. The plant labels will describe the nature and 

environment for the plants. We hope to see you at our events in 

May!

RAMSEY COOKS IS PROUDLY SPONSORED BY STEVE’S MARKET 

Recipe submitted by Cindy Weir 

a recipe that I use quite frequently. I haven’t bought jar sauce 

in years. This recipe is adapted from Rao’s original recipe. We keep it 

in the fridge for pizzas, chicken parm, meatballs, etc. I love getting all 

the ingredients from Steve’s- always fresh and high quality. I shop at 

Steve’s several times a week… deciding each day what to cook, what 

looks good that day for dinner. We lived in Hoboken for years, and 

loved stopping at the market or butcher on the way home from work. 

Steve’s provides that same feeling of community. 

Marinara Sauce 

1/2 cup Olive Oil 

1 medium sized onion, diced 

3 garlic cloves, minced 

3 (28 oz) cans of Italian plum tomatoes peeled, hand crushed with 

juice. 

1 teaspoon of dried oregano. (might need to add a bit more; taste) 

salt/pepper to taste (I use: a little less than a tablespoon of kosher 

salt- add half at a time to taste. About 15-20 turns of pepper grinder) 

6-8 fresh basil leaves 

Heat oil in large dutch oven. Saute onion until translucent, about 5 

minutes. Add garlic, saute until lightly golden, about 2-3 minutes. Add 

the crushed tomatoes and juice. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer 

on low for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally. Use stick blender 

to blend tomatoes/onions. Add salt, pepper, oregano to taste. Stir in 

basil leaves. Cook 1 minute. Ready to serve. Makes about 4-5 cups. 

Meatballs 

Makes about 14-18 meatballs 

2 lbs of Steve’s Market meatloaf mix 

2 eggs 

2 cups of freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese 

2 cups cold water 

2 cups Steve’s Fresh plain breadcrumbs 

1 1/2 TBS fresh parsley, chopped 

Salt, pepper to taste 

Preheat oven 400 degrees. With hands, combine meat, 2 eggs, parsley, 

minced garlic and salt and pepper to taste until mixed. Add breadcrumbs 

and blend into meat mixture. Slowly add cold water, 1 cup at a 

time and mix until meat is moist. Do not overwork the meat mixture. 

Use ice cream scoop to make uniform meatballs and place on parchment 

paper lined baking sheet. Bake for 7 minutes, flip onto other side and bake 

another 7 minutes. Gently place in sauce. Shake large dutch oven to cover meatballs 

with sauce… do not stir or meatballs will break. Simmer on low for 15 minutes. 

Italian StaplesHere is 

** You can also saute the meatballs in 1 cup olive oil- about 5 minutes a side. Drain on paper towels. 

** Alternative: Pork Braciole from Steve’s Market. Sear 2 minutes both sides and cook in sauce 

on low simmer. 

Don’t forget yummy bread from Steve’s!
