Weekly Sale

Summer Rolls

The summer solstice is just around the corner and we think these summer rolls are a perfect way to welcome the new season. This recipe is extremely versatile, so feel free to use any fresh, colorful summer veggies and herbs you happen to have on hand. If tofu isn’t your thing, feel free to sub in your favorite cooked protein. Our weekly sale from June 1st – 7th features a handful of the ingredients listed, making this one easy on the budget, too! If you don’t plan to serve the rolls right away, try rolling them in plastic wrap until you’re ready to eat. This will prevent the rolls from becoming soggy or sticking together. Other key tips are to avoid over-moistening the wrappers and avoid over-filling. Your first few are bound to be a bit clunky, but you’ll get the hang of it quickly.

 

 

Bibimbap

Likely one of the most well-known and beloved Korean dishes, Bibimbap is the ultimate comfort food. While there are many variations, Bibimbap simply translates to “mixed rice with meat and assorted vegetables ” and typically includes steamed rice, sauteed and seasoned vegetables (namul) or kimchi, and spicy gochujang, topped with marinated meat or an egg. Feel free to get creative with the toppings – this dish is a perfect catch-all for leftover veggies you have in the fridge. You’ll also find many of the ingredients you need in our Weekly sale from May 4th – 10th, so it’s a perfect time to give this dish a try!

Corned Beef & Cabbage

You needn’t be Irish to celebrate the food traditions of St. Patrick’s Day. You’ll find all the components you’ll need in our weekly sale display from March 9th – 15th and this recipe will help you pull this traditional one-pot meal together! 

Beet Treat Smoothie

It’s smoothie week at the Co-op! Smoothies provide a great vehicle for sneaking a lot of healthy raw veggies into your diet and they also provide a great way to use ‘inglorious’ fruits and veggies from your fridge that might be a little past their prime. It’s fun to be creative and experimental with your smoothies and our weekly sale from February 23rd – March 1st offers up a handful of items to inspire your creative smoothie endeavors. This particular recipe is a favorite for its gorgeous color and nutrient-dense punch. It’s so delicious and refreshing that you’ll forget that it also happens to be super healthy.

Jambalaya

Jambalaya is a dish that brings together West African, French, and Spanish influences all into one colorful, flavorful dish. It’s popular fare during the Mardi Gras/Carnival season that culminates on “Fat Tuesday” which falls on February 21st this year. Our weekly sale from February 16th – 22nd celebrates the traditional flavors of Mardi Gras, so it’s a perfect time to try this one-pot comfort food wonder! 

Chili

Super Bowl season is upon us 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 February 9th – 15th, so it’s easy 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 a deep, rich flavor to develop.  Cook up an extra-large pot and freeze the leftovers for a busier weeknight. You’ll be so glad you did!

Pork Dumplings

If you find pork dumplings from your favorite take-out spot irresistible, just wait until you taste this homemade 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. Lunar New Year, Chinese Chunjie, Korean Seollal, Tibetan Losar, and Spring Festival all describe the celebration that begins with the first new moon of the lunar calendar and ends on the first full moon, 15 days later. This year, many will hold celebrations on Sunday, January 22nd. The Lunar New Year festival is thousands of years old, and today nearly 25% of the world’s population participates in this celebration. 

Because of their resemblance to gold ingots, making and eating dumplings during Lunar New Year celebrations is a way to express wishes of prosperity and fortune in the coming year. Making dumplings is also a group effort, so Lunar New Year celebrations are good times to get the whole family involved in making — and eating! — several batches. Whether you’re celebrating the Lunar New Year 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 19th – 25th, so it’s a perfect time to give them a try!
