Fresh Pumpkin Pie

Looking for a pumpkin pie recipe using fresh, wholesome ingredients? Look no further! You will not need your can opener for this one!  The bit of extra time it takes to prepare this pie is well worth the effort, as you’ll truly be able to savor the roasted flavor of your pumpkin and the sweetness of pure Vermont maple syrup. Bonus flavor-points if you’re able to pick up one of Golden Russet Farm’s Long Island Cheese pumpkins available in the Produce department while supplies last. The rich, earthy sweetness of those pumpkins is unbelievable! Ready-to-bake pie crust from Immaculate Baking will help reduce your prep time and you’ll find it in the first dairy cooler near our bulk section at the Co-op. If you want to make things even simpler, pick up a ready-to-bake 9-inch pie shell of your choosing. If pumpkin isn’t your thing, feel free to sub in roasted butternut squash or roasted sweet potatoes. Either way, we have a feeling this will become your new go-to pie for the holidays!

Turkey Breast Roulade

Smaller gatherings are the thing this holiday season and that means embracing new traditions, including alternatives to the whole roasted turkey. We think that this Turkey Breast Roulade would make a lovely substitution and you need not be a kitchen pro to pull it off. With a turkey breast, some kitchen twine, and a few simple ingredients you’ll be welcoming a new centerpiece to your holiday table that the whole family will love!

Vermont Cheddar Mashed Potatoes

Dare we say that these classic mashed potatoes with a Vermont twist are an essential part of your holiday feast? We certainly think so. The Vermont cheddar lends the perfect amount of cheesy goodness without being overwhelmingly cheesy or gooey. You’ll find local, organic gold potatoes feature in our Weekly Sale from November 12th – 18th, so go ahead and stock up early. You’ll be glad that your list is a bit shorter as the holiday draws near. 

Cranberry Curd Tart

This festive (and gluten-free!) tart will make for a delicious and colorful addition to your holiday spread. It can be made a few days in advance to help alleviate baking burnout on the big day. Be sure to use local cranberries from Vermont Cranberry Company and top it with a dollop of your favorite local cream!

Chili

Planning a gathering for the big game?  Regardless of your sports fan status, we think you’ll love this hearty chili recipe. It’s a simple, one-pot meal that can feed a big crowd and it 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!

Are chips and dip part of your Super Bowl game day spread? Then you’ll be thrilled to hear that our Member Deals Spotlight shines brightly on Late July this week! All of their products are 20% off for member-owners from January 28th – February 3rd.  Read on to learn more about them:

 

 

Late July is named for that sweet spot of summer when life feels simple, pure & good and it’s also their philosophy on snack-making. They believe that the best parties need a few simple things — great friends, good stories and delicious food! At Late July, these three things always come together around a big bowl of delicious tortilla chips. That is why they take so much care in using the highest quality ingredients without sacrificing on taste. They care deeply about using organic and non-GMO ingredients and making chips for everyone at the party. 

Their snacks stand out in a crowded snack aisle, not just because of their delicious taste, but also because of their commitment to sourcing the highest quality organic and non-GMO ingredients that are free of toxic persistent pesticides, artificial flavors, colors, and preservatives. You’ll find a variety of gluten-free, vegan, Kosher and nut-free offerings to please every palate.

They hope that you enjoy eating their snacks as much as they enjoy making them!

 

Pork Dumplings

If you find pork dumplings from your favorite take-out spot irresistible, just wait until you taste this home-made version. Pork dumplings, or jiaozi, are the quintessential dish of Lunar New Year celebrations and these have everything you want in a dumpling: plump and nicely chewy, filled with tender pork, flavored with fresh ginger, green onion, and sesame oil.  Because of their resemblance to gold ingots, dumplings represent wishes of prosperity and fortune in the coming year. Making dumplings is also a group effort, so New Year celebrations are good times to get together to make — and eat! — several batches. Whether you’re celebrating the Lunar New Year with friends this week or stocking your freezer for a busy month ahead, these dumplings should definitely be on your list. You’ll find many of the ingredients in our Lunar New Year-themed weekly sale from January 23rd – 29th, so it’s a perfect time to give them a try!

Baked Honey Pecan Pears

Looking for a simple and elegant hors d’oeuvre to serve at your New Year’s Eve celebration? We think you’ll love these Baked Honey Pecan Pears! The recipe features a handful of ingredients from our December 26th – 31st Weekly Sale, including an amazing local cheese that is the product of a collaboration between the organic dairy farmers at Scholten Family Farms in Weybridge and Jasper Hill Farm in the Northeast Kingdom. Roasting the pears for a few minutes helps to soften them and bring out their natural sweetness and the entire recipe takes around 10 minutes from start to finish!
