This popular Thai dish features local pasture-raised ground pork from Firsthand Foods cooked with a mix of herbs, garlic, lemongrass, and lime. We cook it the traditional way with a bit of toasted jasmine rice, which adds a delicious aromatic nuttiness. The finishing touch is a blend of fresh cilantro and mint folded into the larb. This dish really hits that flavor-rich sweet spot, so if you haven’t tried it before, you’re sure to fall in love. It’s usually served in lettuce leaves, but is equally delicious over this week’s cashew rice and any veg – get creative with it! Reheat in a pan on the stovetop until warm.

This is our “ode to mushroom” soup. We’ll sauté a medley of mushrooms from Happy Dirt with aromatics and fresh herbs, adding carrots and a bit of wild rice for texture, before finishing it off with our housemade cashew yogurt for creaminess. “Maitake” translates to “dancing mushroom” in Japanese as it was so prized for its medicinal benefits that people would dance upon finding it. It’s also known in these parts as “hen of the woods”. They’re pale brown, have a deep earthy flavor and grow in frilly clusters that break apart beautifully for cooking. This soup is sure to please. Reheat on the stovetop, stirring gently. (This soup was inspired by Nancy from Laying Hen Farm – thank you, Nancy!)

This creamy delicious elixir features the immune supporting and anti-inflammatory power of turmeric. We’ll blend organic turmeric from Fiji with fresh ginger root to make a tea and blend it with a touch of cardamom, cloves and black pepper. (Did you know that there’s an anti-inflammatory compound called piperine in black pepper that enhances the body’s absorption of turmeric’s antioxidants by 2,000%? They’re a powerhouse pair!) This golden nectar is then mixed with a combination of our housemade cashew milk and coconut milk to create the perfect amount of creaminess. Add a touch of natural sweetener, such as honey or maple syrup, if you prefer a sweeter beverage. Gently reheat on the stovetop and drink in the soothing power of turmeric.

The first thing to note about this delicious concoction is that it’s caffeinated, but due to the many unique properties of matcha, you’ll feel a calm alertness without the jittery effects you get from coffee or tea. Matcha is a Japanese shade-grown green tea powder that’s loaded with powerful antioxidants, called polyphenols, and many other bioactive compounds with various health benefits, such as improved cognitive function, collagen production and reduced stress. Because matcha green tea plants are grown in the shade, the leaves are very rich in chlorophyll, which naturally supports the detoxification pathways in the body. Matcha even has the reputation of aiding Zen monks in meditation. We’ll balance out the earthy flavor of the matcha with warming spices and cashew milk to create this spectacular beverage for your morning ritual. Warm it up on the stovetop, stirring, or simply shake it up and drink cold. (Hot tip: You could add it to a blender and whizz it up with half a banana to create an even more creamy and sustaining morning affair. This is Lizzie’s new morning obsession.) **We’re upgrading our matcha moving forward to Jade Leaf’s ceremonial grade Teahouse Edition for a more vibrant beverage with a sweeter note and even more nutrition. They work directly with a grower’s collective in Kyoto to offer their premium quality matcha.

We’ve created a divine beverage – energizing, bittersweet, fulfilling. Enjoy sipping in the morning as a better-than-coffee alternative. Cacao powder is loaded with antioxidants and minerals that nourish your body and feed your cells. Reishi mushroom – which grows on the bark of hardwood trees – supports the immune system, improves sleep, and lessens fatigue. To round it out, we’re adding Lion’s Mane – a shaggy white mushroom that grows on decaying hardwoods, such as beech, sycamore and birch trees. While it’s most known for improving cognitive health and enhancing neuroplasticity, Lion’s Mane has many other healing properties which include supporting gut health and reducing inflammation. This triad balances and supports the body so well. We don’t make this drink super sweet, so feel free to add extra sweetener, a dash of maple, a stir of honey, or a scoop of collagen powder for extra oomph. Shake it up then either pour over ice or heat it up on your stove top.

This soup was this menu’s hands down winner. Get a pint for anytime. Defrost and warm up lightly.
This beet soup brings all the goodness of GC and then some. Beets are a nutritional powerhouse, full of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidant-rich pigments that are protective against cancer as well as nerve, brain and liver nourishing compounds. We’ll chop local organic beets from Happy Dirt and simmer them in a coconut broth with various aromatics and spices for complexity. To balance the earthy sweetness of the beets and add a touch of zing, we’ll add lime juice and then top it off with cilantro and a drizzle of extra coconut milk. The supple texture of this bisque is easy to sip on and will make every cell of your body SING. Warm up gently and enjoy on its own or with any of this week’s sides.

This dish is one of our favorites – pure deliciousness! Defrost and reheat gently in a pan for the perfect veg side for any meal.
We’ll roast organic cauliflower and carrots from Happy Dirt until they are perfectly browned, then sprinkle each batch with fresh local cilantro from Red’s Quality Acre and our housemade dukkah to create a dish you’re certain to love. Dukkah enhances everything. It’s an Egyptian spice blend and the word literally means “to crush or to pound”. We’ll do exactly this with our custom blend of crushed hazelnuts, black peppercorns, cumin, coriander, and sesame seeds – it’s as full of flavor as it is micronutrients. This is one of our very favorite cooked veg dishes, and it pairs so well with everything on the menu this week. Reheat in a pan on the stovetop with a bit of oil or in a 350 degree oven until warm.

Here’s your chance to stock up if you missed out last week! Simply defrost, stir in a saucepan to warm up and enjoy this abundant quinoa dish for lunch or dinner.
This new dish brings two of our favorite vegetables together with fluffy quinoa, parsley, and preserved lemon for a nutrient dense and flavor packed starch to go with everything on this week’s menu. We’ll roast half moon slices of delicata squash with a touch of maple syrup and Aleppo pepper until their skins are crispy golden and the broccolini will get blanched and roasted at high heat to bring out their earthy flavor. Slices of our house made preserved Meyer lemons infuse the quinoa with salty lemon-y goodness and bring balance to this knock out dish. Serve with the chicken skewers and drizzle over some tahini sauce if you know what’s good. This dish comes layered, so simply empty the container into your bowl and stir to combine. Enjoy cold or warm up in a sauce pan, stirring gently.

Grab a pint of this green goodness for anytime. Defrost and warm up in a saucepan with a bit of water or olive oil. This dish doesn’t come around often, so stock up while you can!
This dish is unfussy, earthy goodness at its best and is a staple in our home kitchens. We’ll sauté local lacinato kale from Happy Dirt to perfection with sizzling garlic and a bit of lemon zest and juice. These greens are so easy to digest as they’re cooked with healthy fat and simple flavors. And about four bunches of kale cooks down into one quart, so each container will be bursting with nutrition. Enjoy with the chicken + rice or serve with the beet slaw and hummus. We also like to warm these greens up with a fried egg on top for a quick nutritious meal. Lightly reheat in a saucepan, stirring until warm.

Just defrost, stir, add a touch of water or lemon to thin and drizzle it up! There’s so much flavor and nutrition packed in each container.
Tahini is loved throughout the world. It’s an ancient food that’s been cultivated in India since 5000 BC. It’s pretty miraculous that tiny sesame seeds have so much nutritional power and that when blended alone, create a rich and potent paste known as ‘tahini’. This version of our tahini sauce will be light and tangy with local oregano and parsley from Faithfull Farms. We’ll soak fresh garlic in lemon juice before straining it out to hit a perfectly low key garlicky note. Drizzle it over the skewers, carrot + cauli, any cooked vegetable, or even use as a dressing for salad – it will add a nutritious glow to every bite. Give it a stir before serving and add water or oil to thin as desired.

Defrost and indulge.
Chocolate avocado pudding – say what? Yep, it’s a thing. A good thing. It’s indulgent and full of chocolate-y flavor with a silky smooth texture. The avocado provides a creamy richness without you even knowing it’s there. In Brazil, avocado cream is often eaten as a dessert with sugar and lime, and in Morocco it’s whizzed up in a smoothie with almonds, dates and milk. The bittersweet richness of this decadent dessert is balanced with a layer of light cashew cream and a tart raspberry sauce on top. This parfait speaks the language of love. Enjoy.
