Good morning my favorite foodies! Thank you so much for ordering this week. I took just one Monday off and it feels like an eternity since we have cooked for you! As per usual we had a blast in the kitchen and made sure to put all the love into the food we bagged up for you. Hope you enjoy every last morsel!
This week's "food for thought":
I am starting with dessert. This week's Paleo Key Lime Bars are by far my favorite on the menu. Not just because I have a sweet tooth, but because this treat is truly nutritious! You could even eat it for breakfast! The filling is just coconut milk, raw cashews, maple syrup (and not a lot), some vanilla extract, and lime. The base is made from pecans, dates, and coconut oil. You can't lose with this one. Who said you can't have your cake and eat it too?
If you got the BTW kale salad be sure to massage your bush with that dressing a little before you eat it. Kale really takes time to absorb the dressing, but if you plan ahead it is so worth the wait!
I know it is summer and many of you aren't that into soup, but if you ordered the lentil bisque this week, it did not disappoint. Good move.
Both the bowl and the ramen this week can be eaten cold or hot. Have a little time to eat it up, why not? On the go, headed to the beach or work? Toss it in the cooler for lunch.
I added mung bean, red clover, and broccolini sprouts to the ramen this week for a little nutrition boost and added texture. I try to add at least one "less common" food in, to get you trying new plants each week. Curious what you think!
Weekly Fun Food Fact
Who said good things don't come in small packages? Sprouts are PACKED with nutrition! Think of all the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants you need all packed into a handful of sprouts.
Sprouts are the germinated seed of young vegetables. Baby plants!
I used mung bean sprouts which are a staple in Asian cuisine and have become more popular here in the US. Mung Beans are packed with nutrition, but are the "queen bean" in Ayurvedic medicine as they have a calming effect on the body and are the easiest to digest in the Legume family.
Try this:
Haven't tried mung beans before? Head over to Barrow and check out their Bean and Mushroom Burger. Pro Tip: Order it on Sourdough. You won't regret it. I promise.
Try throwing your Buffalo Chicken Bowl over crispy romaine for a more salad-like meal OR serve it as an app for the fam over tortilla chips for a fun take on nachos!
Save the crack ranch from your chicken bowl and use it for a veggie dip or in a wrap this week for a little kick on another meal.
Try recreating one of these meals yourself. I love to cook for you but I also love to inspire you to get creative in the kitchen yourself! Send me a pic of your version!
Don't forget to put in your order later today! Have a fabulous week and thank you again for ordering!
