It’s a big week: Mardi Gras is tomorrow and for those of you that observe the season, Lent starts Wednesday! We hope our upcoming menu, taking inspiration from this season, hits the spot! Celebrate Mardi Gras with our take on Jambalaya, a Louisiana classic, and usher in Lent with our favorite soup (shhhh…. don’t tell the other soups) and a fresh and veg-laden soba noodle salad! It’s going to be good, friends, even for those of us not celebrating!
And it’s going to be a good one, friends, because our pizza kits are back! We shared a link in your Friday newsletter with a great How-To video, so be sure to check that out if you need help forming your pies. Not sure what can top pizza on the menu, but our creamy and nutty butter chicken, with cooling cucumber raits, and our fan-fave umami-laden feijoada are pretty hard to beat, too. Add-in some savory-sweet shortbread and the week […]
And we hope you enjoy our Valentine’s themed extra goodness this week, friends: Milpa’s delicious and festive red corn and chocolate tamales! Want more local goodness? Your corn chowder features corn from Alsum Sweet Corn, frozen at the height of summer freshness (so we can enjoy it all year long). In the depths of winter, there’s nothing better! So eat up that cozy soup and get to summer dreamin’! It’s a cozy week all around, y’all.
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!
