Our taco beef is packed with flavor and nourishment, thanks to local grass-fed beef from Firsthand Foods. We’re also adding fresh, local spinach from Happy Dirt to sneak in some extra nutrition. It’s so versatile, too. Enjoy the traditional way in a tortilla with guacamole, or over our cilantro lime rice and sweet potatoes for a satisfying burrito bowl. Leftovers are also really good over a salad for lunch. The options are endless. Reheat in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring.

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 dish is SO good that when it lands on the menu, it’s a reason to celebrate. We’ll slice up hearty chunks of local purple and orange sweet potatoes from Happy Dirt and slow braise them in the oven until they’re silky smooth, then fold them into a tangy sweet sauce made with chipotle and guajillo peppers. Both these peppers are beloved in Mexican dishes and their earthy subtle heat perfectly compliments the sweetness of the sweet potatoes. This dish will turn anything you eat into a feast of flavor. They’re great as a vegan taco filler with some slaw or make a rice bowl with a dollop of guacamole. Warm up in a saucepan over medium heat, adding a touch of olive oil as needed.

This slaw really ties the menu together – it provides freshness, color, crunch, citrusy tang, and lots of flavor. Jicama is a mildly sweet, crunchy, white tuber grown in Central and South America that’s delicious raw. And with julienned organic carrots, organic local cabbage, a honey lime dressing, and an abundance of toasted chili maple pepitas on top, this slaw is sure to please. Eat cold, add to a taco or rice bowl – and be sure to dollop on the guacamole for extra enjoyment!

We cook US-grown organic basmati rice and infuse it while it’s still warm with fresh lime juice, lime zest, local cilantro from Happy Dirt, Greek Sparta Kefalas olive oil, and a dash of sea salt. This dish is comforting and easy to digest and is a go-to starch for every meal you make with your GC order this week. From the organic olive oil to the abundance of fresh cilantro, there’s so much flavor and nutrition in here. To reheat, stir in a saucepan on the stovetop with a tablespoon of water or extra olive oil until warmed through.

Our guacamole recipe has been a hit at many events over the years and is, quite frankly, amazing. The addition of the Ataulfo mango transforms this already popular flavor bomb of healthy fats into superbness. It hits all the taste buds’ needs for salt, fat and acid. Combine it with the taco beef in a taco (or with the rice, sweet potatoes and slaw for a veggie bowl) and you’ll be so very happy. (Parent tip: having guacamole on hand to serve up with chips to a hungry child is priceless.)

As a finishing touch, we’ll stir in local lacinato kale from Happy Dirt for extra green goodness. Simply warm up on the stovetop and enjoy this meal in a bowl.

This breakfast porridge is a delicious and nutrient-rich way to get in your plant protein and healthy fats first thing in the morning (or anytime!). We’ll be pulling from our freezer stash of plump, juicy local figs from Small Potatoes Farm that were soaking up the sunbeams all summer long. We’ll cook them down with orange peel and a touch of coconut sugar until all the sweetness and flavor is condensed into a jammy marmalade. Each container will have a layer of slow-cooked quinoa porridge, lemon cashew cream, and a generous dollop of the fig and orange jam. Enjoy chilled or warmed up in a saucepan, stirring with a touch of water as needed.

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.

We’re bringing you another hemp milk deluxe! We’ll blend organic cherries with ashwagandha, an Ayurvedic herb that’s known for its adaptation healing properties and promoting restorative sleep. 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 lightly sweeten our hemp milk with dates and never add any fillers, gums, or stabilizers like you’ll find in store-bought varieties, so shake it up before pouring. Serve cold with our granola for the perfect breakfast or snack. You can also 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.

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.
