And the Monday of a holiday week at that! In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we want to extend a sincere thanks to you for allowing us into your kitchens every week. We’re grateful for your support and hope our cooking shows the love! Enjoy your savory stuffed squashes, cheesy potato soup, and rich Tuscan stew over creamy polenta this week. We hope it’s a good one!
While we’re all about new flavors and variety at P&P, sometimes you just want your comforting, tried-and-true food favorites, right, friends? So, we’re throwing back this week with dan dan noodles, farro soup and shepherd’s pie — dishes that bring a smile to our faces every time we eat them. So we hope they do the same for you! Dig in and cozy up. It’s comfort season!
Have you tried Milpa’s tamales yet? Milpa (run by best friends Shannon and Miros) handmakes tamales, with love, in the new P&P Makeshop kitchen! A tamal seems simple enough: masa dough stuffed with filling, then wrapped in a husk. But, it’s a complex process that takes hours to complete. Milpa is just getting going, but look for their goods in our Farm-to-Freezer cases soon!
Post-Halloween, vegetables are just what we need, right, friends? So, we’re piling veg into every part of your meals this week! Think: burgers piled with pickled carrots and daikon, alongside simply roasted turnips; cornbread topped with apples and leeks, with a fresh four-veg slaw; and a butternut squash risotto laden with six different kinds of greens. What a week!
We’re going back to some old tried and true faves this week, y’all. We’ve been making the Blackened Sweet Potato Sammy and the Bolognese Sauce since we started our meal kits in 2017. Four years, can you believe it? Some things come and some go, but these have stood the test of time. We hope you’re excited to see them again and to try our new Cassoulet!
When we sit down to menu plan, we think about how we want people to feel when they eat our food. We want our food to be comforting, cozy and like we’re all cooking together: sharing food, laughs, and good times. So, when you tuck into those decadent baked potatoes, that hearty tomato chowder, or the buttery galettes, think of us! And know we’re smiling with you.
Rainy weather calls for cozying up indoors. And our menu this week should be perfect for just that. Comforting roasted root veg and lentil loaf. Warming curry noodle soup. And one of our favorite soul-satifsying foods: smothered burritos. Stay dry, stay cozy, and dig in!
As temperatures cool and the leaves start to fall, our cooking starts to change and we find ourselves reaching for warming, comforting spices. Think: cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, paprika, cardamom, star anise, cumin, and coriander — all of these spices are featured this week’s meals. So revel in the menu’s coziness, friends, and inhale the scents of Fall!
We’re feeling Fall this week, y’all. And loving all the cool, crisp mornings and nights. They’re perfect for dinners full of creamy wild rice soup, comforting cheese and tomato laden sub sammies, and rich, stewed lentils with warming spices. Hopefully our menu this week is like a cozy hug from us to you. Dig in and lean into the change of seasons!
And the week is looking up! Spicy buffalo sauce laden lettuce wraps with a cooling house-made ranch and crispy crunchy slaw filled with local veg. Warming lentil soup for Fall’s first cold snap topped with addicitive kale chips. And rich, savory bean stew over brown rice. Tried and true recipes, all, friends! Hope you enjoy them as much as we do. Yum!
