And what a Monday it is! You know why, friends? Because we have our FIRST “spring” greens in! Farmer Bethanee at Winterfell Acres harvested her first batch of spinach from the greenhouse and we were able to get all of it. And… even better? It all went into the pesto for your Cook Kit this week. That’s right! Every single leaf. Oh happy day!!
We reach for comfort food all winter long, friends, and this week is no different! There’s the quintessential cozy fave: tomato soup and grilled cheese. Then we have a creamy, cheesy (but chock-full of veg) pasta bake. And, last but not least, a bowl of full of rice and beans, topped with Alsum’s sweetcorn. If Wisconsin sweet corn isn’t a comfort food, we don’t know what is!
Ready for a cold one? Brrrrr! We’ve got a whole slate of warming dishes in store for today in hopes that they’ll help heat you up from the inside out. Spicy jerk flavors. Curries with warming spices like star anise, clove, pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom. Cozy stew loaded with vegetables. Hopefully, they hit the mark and help keep the cold at bay!!
It’s comfort food week, y’all! Creamy, potato leek soup with hearty bread (topped with allll of the winter greens pesto). RP’s fresh pasta with a rich, tomato and braised beef-laden ragù. And roasted veggies with bright and flavorful coriander roasted carrots and wild-caught salmon over brown rice. All things we reach for when it’s cold or gloomy out. Hopefully it’s the same for you and this week’s menu hits the spot!
Who doesn’t want a little warming spice during these bitterly cold days? Our harissa-marinated chicken is sure to help with that. Too much? Luckily there’s a cooling citrusy and herby yogurt sauce to top it off! Next up is a veg-laden bowl of rice noodles, with nuoc cham-, a Vietnamese dipping sauce that’s equal parts sweet, sour, salty, savory and spicy. And rounding out the menu, we have everyone’s (easy) favorite: risotto, chock-full of veg. Get excited!
To celebrate the new start of the year, we’re thrilled that this coming week’s menu shares food from the Makeshop — one of our biggest achievements of 2021. Get excited for Milpa’s tamales, tortilla chips from La Cosecha and savory galettes from Tart Baked Goods in your meal kits. Such a delicious beginning to the year!
We’re looking to send 2021 out with a bang, friends! And we loaded this week’s menu with deliciousness. Think: raclette kits with oodles of local veg from Winterfell Acres and a seed & grain boule from Madison Sourdough; cozy caldo verde with warm homemade cornbread; our signature mac and cheese (everyone’s favorite); and our laminated cinnamon rolls to top it off. While 2021 has been a doozy, hopefully this helps it end on a sweet note!
With a busy holiday week in store, we hope these meals make life a bit easier. Enjoy your wild rice salad, chock full of veg as a lighter break before rich, heavy foods. And the Mole tacos, full of spices and chocolate (but brightened up with tangy beets), are a fun break from more traditional fare, too. We didn’t want to miss celebrating with you, though, so hopefully our strata makes a lazy, holiday morning a bit tastier. Enjoy, friends! […]
And a tasty Monday at that! Our flavor-packed sloppy joes come on a pillowy bun paired with a creamy avocado-tomatillo salsa and a crispy, tangy slaw to cut the heat. The Thai red curry is chock-full of vegetables and rich with coconut milk, but the roasted peanuts add a perfect crunchy topping. And then there’s our favorite comfort food to top it off — black-eyed pea noodle soup!
We’re excited to ring in a new, delicious, month with y’all, Meal Kit friends! Our Mediterranean nacho kit is back and we can’t WAIT to dig into its crispy, creamy and fresh flavors (napkins at the ready, of course). And we’re debuting two new dishes: a rich, dill-infused bean stew with tart pickled onions to brighten the palate as well as a new squash lasagna. Oh, happy day!
