We’re trying something new where we archive the weekly recipes we curate with our grocery bags.
This week’s recipes
Stir fry your snap peas, carrots, peppers, onions, and bok choy! This is one of the quickest, most adaptable meals out there. You can throw in your ginger or herbs if you like, or top off your veggies with a protein like tofu. You can't go wrong! Add-ons: Tofu
Easy sides like this Cucumber Tomato Salad are game changers for me. Just chop and toss together your cucumber, tomato, and onion with herbs and dressing! I love to eat a refreshing salad at any meal, and this would be just as good with scrambled eggs for breakfast as it would be with a protein for dinner. Or add some croutons (or fried day old bagels?!?) and it transforms into a panzanella!
This awesome Red Cabbage Slaw mixes together your cabbage, peppers, and some bacon for another super easy, super delicious side! Add-ons: Applewood Bacon
Are you excited to try your gooseberries, but don't know exactly you'll use them? Me neither, which is why I'm psyched to discover this article on the best ways to enjoy a gooseberry. I can't wait to eat them on yogurt, and just enjoy some straight! Add-ons: Yogurt, Granola
Embrace the fall vibes with this stuffed acorn squash! This veggie focused main looks like the perfect way to stay warm and cozy as the weather gets chillier. Swap out the turkey and make it with our Italian sausage! Add-ons: Italian Sausage, Grated Parm
Speaking of the chilly weather, how warm and comforting does this Roasted Tomato BLT Soup look? Snag some of our Applewood Bacon and live your sandwich-as-soup dreams. You can use our sandwich bread as the garnish! Add-ons: Applewood Bacon, Sandwich Bread
I'll definitely be making these Curried Lentils with Coconut Milk out of my Beluga Lentils and ginger! I'm excited that we're including a legume in both the full and half share this week. This is such a great, vegetarian (vegan without the yogurt!) protein-packed main dish.
As a busy student, I absolutely love a good sheet pan dinner. So much reward for so little effort! Toss your fingerling potatoes in some oil and salt. Roast a chicken using Thomas Keller's technique, and throw the potatoes on the pan along with some thyme so that the whole meal cooks at once. While you're waiting on the dinner, why not braise your collard greens with some garlic and bacon on the stovetop?
Make the most of apple season with an Heirloom Apple Galette! You can follow the concept from our 9/15 recipes, subbing the pears for apples and the rosemary for thyme.
FYI: We picked your apples ourselves from a local farm we're friendly with, and we've included some really cool heirloom varietals from 100+ year-old trees in your bags. We're big proponents of food sustainability, so we rescued fallen-but-still-good apples for us this week. If you notice some imperfections on your fruits, keep in mind that they're still delicious no matter how they look!
