Shop Weekly Menu

Welcome! This menu is now CLOSED for ordering as of Sunday at noon. Pick-up is Tuesday the 24th 5:00-6:30pm at Blue Dogwood in Chapel Hill. Detailed instructions will be sent to all that order. Thanks everyone!

**If you’ve missed the cut-off, no big deal, just email us at goodnesscooks@gmail.com and we can most likely squeeze you in.** 

 

All menu items are GLUTEN FREE and DAIRY FREE, unless we specify otherwise. We only use filtered reverse osmosis water and Redmond Sea Salt. (We err on the less salty side, so please add more salt to your taste if needed.) Organic and local ingredients are always listed. Enjoy!

 

Most items are offered as a pint or quart (which is 2 pints). If you order 2 pints of a dish instead of the quart option, we will package them individually in pints, assuming that you prefer this.

Date + Olive Chicken

SKU: N/A Category:

This chicken dish is the essence of festivity and fall. It’s one of our all-time favorites. We marinate the chicken overnight and slow cook in the oven so the flavors are rich and layered. And be sure to eat every last bit of the sauce – with the olives and dates, it’s tangy, lightly sweet and full of all the goodness from the chicken. This dish will come packaged in our compostable containers. Reheat in a saucepan, covered, over low heat.

White Bean and Escarole Soup

SKU: N/A Category:

We had an opportunity to get local escarole this week from Vera Luce Farm and couldn’t pass up making this classic Italian inspired soup. Escarole is in the chicory family with greens like endive and radicchio and has a mild bitter flavor that is perfect paired with white beans. The crinkley outer leaves are deeply green and have a sharper flavor, while the inner light green-yellow leaves are tender and mild. We’re using the queen of white beans – the cannellini – because they have the most flavor and creaminess, as well as Faithfull Farms’ celery for an extra bonus of goodness. This soup will be medicine for the week of Thanksgiving. Reheat in a pot on the stove and ENJOY.

Herbed Green Beans

SKU: N/A Category:

These green beans will enhance all the flavors on your plate. They are fresh and vibrant, combining perfectly with the rich flavors of the date and olive chicken and tartness of the cranberry relish. We’ll steam them and toss them in lemon zest, caramelized shallots and a herb dressing that will ping your whole body with lifeforce. Reheat in a pan over medium heat.

Kale Salad with Red Cabbage + Honeycrisp Apple

SKU: N/A Category:

These deep leafy greens are bursting with goodness. We massage the kale with a light dressing to get the texture just right. Then we add pecans – roasted with a bit of maple syrup and a touch of cinnamon – for a flavorful crunch. The sweetness of the apples and the freshness from the red cabbage make this salad pure perfection. We’re hard pressed to think of anything this wouldn’t pair well with. Eat straight out of the container or beautify any plate with this amazing salad.

Jeweled Rice Pilaf

SKU: N/A Categories: ,

This dish is about as festive and colorful as it gets. Jasmine rice will be cooked with turmeric, cumin and sweet paprika to create beautiful golden grains. We’ll mix the rice with pomegranate jewels, roasted carrot and orange zest and finish it with a bit of fresh parsley. It’s heavenly and will pair well with all of this week’s menu items. The rice is best reheated with a tablespoon or two of water in a saucepan, stirring often.

Mashed Sweet Potatoes

SKU: N/A Categories: ,

This dish brings a touch of magic to your plate and just about sums up the meaning of giving thanks. These are sweet potatoes harvested in Carolina soil then tended to in the Goodness Cooks kitchen. The sweetness of organic oranges combined with melted pastured butter and warming spices makes this an exceptional mash that you’d be lucky to find on a table spread this time of year. Enjoy alongside all the other fixings or warmed up as a snack with a sprinkle of flaky salt for extra indulgence. Reheat in a saucepan over medium heat with a touch of water, stirring.

Cranberry Orange Relish

SKU: N/A Category:

This is a fresh, raw version of the classic cranberry orange relish. It’s tart, crunchy and lightly sweet. We’ll muddle the cranberries and mix with organic orange, walnuts, and finely minced local celery from Faithfull Farms. These flavors are beloved and a spoonful added to your plate will evoke the feelings of fall and family gatherings.

Pumpkin Bread

Categories: ,

Pumpkins are believed to have originated in Central America over 7,500 years ago. They’re extremely resilient and share nutrients through a connected vine that reaches into the ground to gather necessary minerals for growth. The old symbology of carving a pumpkin at this time of year is to remember to keep our inner light bright as we enter the darker months of winter. We’ll of course be using edible pumpkins in this bread but our hope is that it will help fuel your inner light just as a jack o’lantern does. First we’ll slowly bake the pumpkins and mix the soft caramelized flesh with all organic almond flour (which almost tastes like marzipan when baked), walnuts, warming spices and coconut sugar. The result is a moist and lightly sweet bread that can be enjoyed exceptionally well with a bit of our nut butter in the morning, afternoon and especially after dark. Nutrient dense and delicious.

Spiced White Chocolate Cashew Dessert

SKU: N/A Category:

This is a special version of our classic cashew dessert. There’s a walnut and date crust on the bottom with a thick, creamy cashew middle layer that has seasonal warming spices, vanilla, and the subtle chocolatey flavor of cacao butter. We’ll then add a thin layer of our pure white chocolate on top that will give a satisfying crack when you dig into this delight.

Hot Chocolate Elixir

SKU: N/A Category:

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. Heat up on your stove top and fill your kitchen with the aroma of cacao.

Todos Santos Reserve (Cooperative Coffee Roasters)

Category:

This is one of Cooperative’s single origin coffees – meaning all the coffee comes from one specific place. Todos Santos is a town famous for coffee quality and is one of the few remaining places in Guatemala where locals don beautifully colorful, traditional indigenous clothing. Last year, Cooperative purchased two single-farmer lots from this region produced by brothers Evaristo and Hector Gomez. This year, they selected the highest community lots and combined them together to create this Reserve. This coffee exudes sweetness, with balanced flavors of praline, simple syrup, plum.

Beef + Vegetable Stew (frozen)

SKU: N/A Categories: ,

We’ve got extras for you to keep enjoying this incredible stew throughout the cold months to come!

 

~This is a hearty stew that will keep you feeling nourished and warm on these cold days. We season and sear the beef in olive oil before slowly cooking it with a mixture of herbs and vegetables until the beef is tender and falling apart. We’re excited to be using Faithfull Farms celery – they’re specializing in growing this hard-to-find local vegetable and our food will be better for it. This farm-fresh celery has big leaves and big flavor and will bring an extra boost of nutrition. To make this soup meaty and abundant, we’ll simmer the beef bones to create a rich stock and use a pound of beef for every quart of stew ordered. This can be eaten on it’s own with a handful of greens or served over our mushroom quinoa. Reheat in a saucepan until warmed through.~

Leek + Potato Soup (frozen)

SKU: N/A Categories: ,

This creamy soup will do the trick when you’re in a spot and need something deeply nourishing and delicious. Just defrost on the counter, add to a pot with a bit of water over medium heat and you’ve got dinner.

 

~Leek and potato soup evokes feelings of cold weather hibernation and coziness. In French cuisine this blended soup is considered a classic comfort food. We’ll lighten it up with zucchini and add cashew cream for, well, creaminess. While our recipe is filled with lots of flavor and nourishment you could also add crispy bacon to your bowl, a handful of this week’s braised greens, grated cheese or a drizzle of olive oil. If eating gluten and dairy is not a problem for you, now is the time to bring out a chunk of fresh crusty bread with a slab of butter. Reheat on low in a pot on the stove until warm.~
