As we kick off the September Eat Local Challenge, we wanted to share one of our favorite recipes highlighting a list of fantastic local ingredients. There’s already so much to love about lasagna but when you include Bove’s marinara, Vermont Fresh pasta sheets, and Maplebrook Farm’s ricotta & mozzarella cheeses, this classic comfort food reaches new heights! These ingredients are also featured in our weekly sale from September 6th – 12th, so it’s a great time to give it a try.
This recipe is a fan favorite from one of our Co-op staffers. She loves making this dish for her kids’ lunchboxes and says it works equally well as an appetizer. Many of the ingredients are featured in our weekly sale from August 23rd – 29th, so it’s a perfect time to give it a try!
A poke (POH-kay) bowl is a traditional Hawaiian dish that has become all the rage here on the mainland. Poke means “to slice or cut” in Hawaiian and refers to chunks of raw, marinated fish — usually tuna — which is then tossed over rice and topped with vegetables and umami-packed sauces. If you can get your hands on some sushi-grade tuna, we certainly encourage you to give this recipe a try without searing the tuna. Our weekly sale from August 9th – 15th celebrates the poke bowl and features some wonderful yellowfin tuna steaks which are not sushi-grade, so please sear the tuna first. Not a tuna fan? Try cooked shrimp or crab meat! Want a vegetarian version? Try using tofu cubes! And feel free to get creative with the vegetables.
It’s back to school time! If your plan is to pack the lunchbox with healthy foods that your kid will actually enjoy eating, we think you’re going to like this recipe. It packs a healthy protein punch and the addition of some salsa and some avocado slices will up the veggie ante. Just remember to toss your avocado slices in a bit of salt and lemon juice to keep them from browning. The quesadillas do require some light prep work, but they keep well in the fridge for up to three days and in the freezer for up to three months, so you can make a batch on a weekend day when you have a few minutes to spare.
