We’re traveling the world (through food) this week…. and hitting up Thailand, Eastern Europe and Cuba! Get excited for the varying flavors of rainbow vegetable pad thai, our yearly take on rich, chunky borscht filled with beets (of course!) and braised short ribs and bacon lardons, and our stewed ropa vieja rich with tomato, olives, bell peppers, capers and raisins! It’s going to be a tasty week, and we hope you enjoy vicariously traveling with us!
We’re sooooo excited that La Cosecha’s tortillas are on the menu again! La Cosecha makes fresh tortillas with stone-ground local organic corn (from our friends at Meadowlark Organics), using traditional nixtamalization techniques. These tortillas are a real treat; so tender and delicious, full of actual corn flavor, they’re nothing like the mass produced corn tortillas you buy at the grocery store! You’re going to taste the difference in your enchiladas No question.
Hi, friends! We couldn’t source enough split peas for your soup, so we supplemented with black-eyed peas, a traditional food for a lucky New Year! And, y’all, it’s delicious: creamy, broken-down split pea soup, rich with a soffritto of onion, celery and carrot, spiced with warming cumin and turmeric, toasty from some local lager, and with a toothy bite from black-eyed peas. And with a mustard seed chili oil drizzled on top? Perfection, y’all.

Happy Eating, friends.
In many Mexican-American families, the holiday season = tamale time. Families and friends gather in kitchens big and small for annual tamale-making parties. The dozens upon dozens of delicious tamales they make are then shared with friends, coworkers, and loved ones far and wide… just like the tamale kits that we’re sharing with all of you, our Meal Kit family! Hopefully, this sparks a little holiday joy for y’all and maybe, just maybe, the start of your own new tradition.
