In Cordon’s family, this is known as “Granny Snider’s Chicken” after her great-grandmother and has been a staple of family meals on her mother’s side for longer than she’s been alive. Her grandmother, lovingly called Mamama, must have made it hundreds of times for her children and grandchildren, so this dish is dedicated to her. It’s slow cooked in a tangy sweet mixture of lemon, vinegar, mustard and pastured butter until the chicken is so very tender and is always eaten over rice. You’ll see why this dish is a tradition. Heat up in a saucepan or in an oven-safe container in a 350-degree oven.

All the bright, sunny colors of corn, squash, saffron, and turmeric come together in this delicious blended soup.

Enjoy this soup chilled or lightly reheat in a saucepan, adding a bit of water to thin it out as needed. (**The herb drizzle will be mildly spicy, so if you’d like us to leave it off of yours, let us know.***)

Broccoli is a true nutritional powerhouse and this recipe is one of our favorite ways to enjoy it. We lightly steam the broccoli crowns to maintain a subtle crunch, then mix it with chopped Honeycrisp apple and a coconut yogurt dressing to give it a hint of tangy sweetness. Toasted sunflower seeds are added for their nutty flavor and an extra helping of nutrients. This dish pairs perfectly with the barbecue chicken and rice. Add a dollop of the onion dip for good measure. No need to reheat – just open the container and enjoy.

We’ve created a twist on the classic Caesar salad that features ribbons of freshly cut local dino kale, sliced local red radish, and roasted chickpea. You won’t miss the croutons or romaine lettuce with the freshness of the veg, crunchy pepitas, and a creamy, tangy dressing. There’s all the flavor of the Caesar salad with more nutrition, textural goodness, and extra plant protein to boot. Since this is a layered salad, you’ll pour the contents into a bowl with the dressing on the bottom and combine well before enjoying. Serve cold alongside any of this week’s sides.

Rainbow chard is a mild tasting colorful green that is deliciously sweet and earthy. It’s in the beet family and when cooked turns everything pink.

It’s the perfect way to get in your daily greens and a great base for so many different meals.

We’re bringing back this delicious recipe from Sarah Britton of My New Roots. She’s a holistic nutritionist, chef and cookbook author and we just love everything she does. Goodness Cooks’ dishes are often inspired by other people’s recipes and then we tweak and add things and fiddle with them until they become our own, but we’re doing this recipe by the book. Funny thing is we both saw this recipe and had bookmarked it to tell each other we should try it for GC. Some things are just meant to be! So here it is – creamy white lentils blended with caramelized organic yellow onions from Happy Dirt, balsamic vinegar and tahini, topped with our flavorful Sparta Kefalas organic olive oil. Spread onto pita, cut-up veg and rice crackers or dollop onto any lunch or dinner plate for extra goodness.

There are many types of red beans that are cooked all over the world, but this week we’re serving up the red kidney bean, which is said to have originated in Peru eight thousand years ago. Kidney beans are a good source of iron and micronutrients, such as copper, folate and molybdenum, as well as fiber and antioxidants. We’ve joked that kidney beans have a bad rap from the notoriously bland three bean salads that were popular years ago, so we’re hoping to dispel that with our version of a classic pot of red beans done right. While it’s not true Cajun or Caribbean style cooking, we’ll use the ‘holy trinity’ of peppers, onion and celery, as well as cacao for depth and to balance out the ancho chili. And we’re sourcing red and green bell peppers from Little Pond Gardens in Pittsboro, making this an extra special batch of beans. Serve over the rice and greens, adding a fried egg for good measure. Simply warm up in a pot on the stove and dig in.

If you’ve never had freshly made hemp milk, you’re in for a treat. Hemp milk is considered the best milk alternative for many reasons – it’s high in omega-3 fatty acids, essential minerals and protein while also being low in carbohydrates. And growing hemp is good for the planet, helping to regenerate the soil and purify the air – pretty amazing. Hemp milk has a slightly nutty flavor and a nice light and creamy texture. We’ll sweeten the hemp milk with dates and vanilla, then add raspberries and Terrasoul baobab powder for an extra boost of vitamin C and juiciness. Baobab fruit is a nutrient and fiber-rich superfood native to Africa and Australia with a tangy sherbet-like flavor. Serve cold with our granola for the perfect snack. Or, pour over your cereal of choice, add to oatmeal or use as the base of a smoothie or drink as is. The options are endless.

This ruby red tea is refreshing, slightly tart and packed with minerals, antioxidants and vitamin C. You can’t help feeling the love when sipping on this infusion.

It has many names, from Kardade in Egypt to Agua de Jamaica in Mexico. This is true flower power goodness! It can be enjoyed hot or cold and is especially refreshing with a few ice cubes and mint leaves stirred in.

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.

If you missed it last week, here’s your chance to find out why larb week is the best! Grab some to defrost and bring fresh flavor, big nutrition + local local pastured pork to any meal. Defrost and heat up in a pan. Serve with rice and a salad for an amazing meal.
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 local mint from Red’s Quality Acre 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.
