Our barbacoa is back! This is a classic beef barbacoa made with Guajillo peppers, tomato, spices, and local grass-fed chuck roast from Firsthand Foods. We marinate the beef overnight and slow cook it for hours in the oven until the meat is tender enough to pull apart easily. It’s so flavorful and rich with just the right amount of heat. Reheat in a saucepan on the stovetop and serve over the cilantro rice or in a tortilla with our guacamole. Don’t forget to buy some tortillas if you want tacos. For your reference: 1 lb (about 3 1/4 cups) is enough to make about 15 tacos. A little of this barbacoa goes a long way!

Do some spring cleaning for your body in the most delicious way with our new creamy greens soup. It features local green kale from Happy Dirt blended with organic fennel, apple, spinach, leek, ginger, and a touch of cauliflower for creaminess with a drizzle of lemon cashew cream to top it off. We hit the perfect balance of flavors with the tartness of the apple, sweetness of the fennel, hint of spiciness from the ginger, all underneath the bright green vibrance of the kale, with a pinch of allspice to round it out. Enjoy warmed up slightly or sip on cold and enjoy.

We’ll roast organic cauliflower from Happy Dirt in olive oil and a housemade blend of crushed dried chili peppers, dried lime zest and pink sea salt before tossing with fresh local cilantro from Red’s Quality Acre and toasted pumpkin seeds. There’s so much amazing texture, flavor and earthy goodness in this dish, with citrusy tang and just the right amount of heat and depth from the peppers. Get your veg in for the week in the most exciting way. For a paleo/keto plate, serve this up with the barbacoa or make a vegan rice bowl with this in the starring role. It’s also nice to serve up cold over some greens for lunch with a fried egg. Yum. Reheat gently in a saucepan.

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 maple-chili roasted cashews on top, this slaw is sure to please. Eat cold – and with everything!

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 barbacoa in a taco (or with any of this week’s dishes really!) and you’ll be so very happy. (Parent tip: having guacamole on hand to serve up with chips to a hungry child is priceless.)

This umami-rich noodle soup is a customer favorite every time we run it. First, we’ll simmer sheets of kombu seaweed with white miso to make a broth that has a light, salty-sweet tang. (Sea vegetables are one of the best sources of iodine, an essential micronutrient for thyroid and brain health.) Then, we’ll add sliced local shiitake mushroom from Happy Dirt for earthiness and depth as well as local baby bok choy from Red’s Quality Acre for green mineral goodness. The gluten-free Korean sweet potato noodles are translucent when cooked and have a delicate texture and mild flavor that’s perfect for soups and hot pots. This is comfort and nourishment in a bowl. Enjoy heated up as-is or add fried egg on top for extra sustenance.

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 and add a touch of blue spirulina for extra nutrition and bold indigo color. Serve cold with our cherry almond granola for the perfect breakfast or snack. You can also pour over your cereal of choice, add to oatmeal or your nighttime herbal tea, or use as the base of a smoothie. The options are endless.

This is a clean, calming and nourishing elixir to be enjoyed heated up or chilled at any time of day.

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. Maca boosts energy and endurance, while the powerful Reishi mushroom, which grows on the bark of hardwood trees, especially oaks, supports the immune system, improves sleep, and lessens fatigue. This triad balances and supports the body so well. And we’ve upped the potency this week by adding Lion’s Mane, a shaggy white mushroom that grows on decaying hardwood, such as beech, sycamore and birch trees. While it’s most known for improving cognitive health and enhancing neuroplasticity, it has many other healing properties including supporting gut health and reducing inflammation. 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 serve cold over ice or heat it up on your stove top.

Grab a pint or quart of this versatile and delicious rice. It’s easy to defrost in the fridge during the day so you can warm up as the perfect “starch” to go with dinner.
We’re bringing back this comforting and nutrient-dense rice, with subtle aromatics and bountiful green goodness. We’ll sauté the organic dandelion greens in coconut oil with ginger until they glisten and wilt, then fold into big batches of fluffy white rice, steamed to perfection with kaffir lime and crushed pink peppercorn. Dandelion greens are earthy, slightly bitter and incredibly nutritious. We love them. With the bitterness from the greens, the soft texture of the rice, the slightly fruity peppercorns and subtle floral note from the kaffir limes, this dish ticks all the boxes. Enjoy this rice with the pork meatballs or a side of cabbage slaw and braised carrots – you’ll be glowing with satisfaction. Reheat in a saucepan over low with a touch of water until warm.
