Chili

It’s Super Bowl season and regardless of your sports fan status, we think you’ll love this hearty chili recipe. It’s a simple, one-pot meal that features a handful of ingredients from the weekly sale display from January 30th – February 5th, so it’s gentle on the budget. Using dried beans requires a little more advanced preparation (soaking) and a longer cooking time, but dried beans are much more economical and the longer cook time allows much more flavor to develop.  Cook up an extra-large pot and freeze the leftovers for a busier weeknight. You’ll be so glad you did!

Red Curry Lentils

Looking for a hearty, warming one-pot meal? This one is a winner! It’s also quite versatile, so feel free to be creative with the veggies that you add to the pot. Perhaps a big handful of spinach, or some diced sweet potato? Or prepare it exactly as-is and serve over a heap of rice with buttery garlic naan. You’ll find most of the ingredients featured in our Weekly Sale from January 21st – 27th, so it’s a perfect time to give this one a try!

Homemade Pizza

Making pizza at home might seem intimidating – especially compared to the relative ease of popping a pre-made frozen pie into the oven, but we think you’ll agree that nothing tastes better than homemade and the process is actually quite simple. PaneBelle’s pizza dough is featured in our weekly sale from January 14th – 20th, along with local Maplebrook fresh mozzarella, Muir Glen organic pizza sauce, and a handful of perfect pizza toppings, including local Vermont Smoke and Cure Pepperoni, so it’s an excellent time to try your hand at homemade pizza! Feel free to get creative with the toppings. This recipe makes 2 thin-crust 12” pizzas. If you prefer a thicker crust, follow the same instructions but create one larger pizza. 

Thai Green Fish Curry

Looking for big, bold flavor on a short timeline? We think you’ll love this super simple one-pot Thai Green Fish Curry recipe which delivers the kind of flavor that usually takes a full day of simmering to achieve. You’ll find most of the ingredients you need in our weekly sale from January 7th – 13th, so it’s a perfect time to give this one a try!
