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!
We’re pretty excited about this week’s menu, friends. Filled with bright, fresh flavors, Milpa’s posole is perfect for post-Thanksgiving clean eating. And that lemon dill vinaigrette? So citrusy and herby and light, we could eat it on everything (and nothing). Don’t think we’ve forgotten about the peanut curry, though. That’s been a P&P favorite since practically day one!
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!
