Good Morning! Thank you for ordering again with me this week. I really hope you are enjoying your food so far. We take a lot of time to choose menu items taking all of your feedback into consideration, so please let me know - the good, the bad, the raunchy! This way, I can keep givin' it to you good in the future.
Here's a little pillow talk for ya this week. You know, the thoughts that come after you do it ;-)
Caul If You're In a Curry:
I know curry is a flavor that many avoid, but I think it's one of those flavors that if you keep experimenting with it you may find that you like it. Just depends on how its' done, ya know? I personally love curry to help clear out my sinuses and soothe my gut. Warming spices are excellent, especially during cooler weather. Many have been taking these pureed soups and using them creatively - add a dash to eggs, or over pasta perhaps?
Romaine Calm:
I tend to be a sweet salad lover, but I am trying to mix it up for myself and all of you with a more savory flavor like we tried this week. Raw peppers don't seem to sit well with me, but roasted peppers seem to settle just fine. Just a reminder to change things up a bit to see different results.
Can't Squash What This Chick's Got:
You can't go wrong with this one with the buffalo sauce and crack ranch alone, but I think the mix of the color and flavor really wins for this meal. I personally might try heating this one right up on a sheet pan in the oven, as it is very moist and doesn't need a lot of attention. Eating it cold is definitely an option too.
Tip: Try this one as nachos over tortilla chips! Or use your ranch dressing for another meal this week.
But She's Nuts:
This is one of my favorite meals, and possibly one of the first meals I ever offered on one of my menus.
Hint: This is basically butternut squash soup over pasta. Shhh. Don't tell. But just another way to take one meal and make it into another.
This one is packed with all the carbs, protein, and fat you need and that cashew ricotta really hits home for me.
We added a little dusting of dried sage for flavor, but I recommend grabbing some fresh sage from the store and frying it up to toss on top of this delicious meal.
Spear Me the Details:
This side dish is a great mix of flavor and texture in my opinion and tastes just like "Spring". This would be a great one to throw in an omelette, maybe add a little goat cheese or feta if you can tolerate it (totally fine without!). Add some avo on top, OMG yum!!
I Want Samoa That:
I know I say this every week, but this dessert is amazing! One of my top 5 faves for sure. I recommend keeping it in the freezer and just stealing a nibble here and there (although I definitely don't have the self control to just nibble these babies).
I include a sweet treat with every meal to make sure we continue to treat ourselves and indulge from time to time! So many of us love girl scout cookie season, but those cookies are packed with nothing but crap! I made these cookies from scratch and there isn't much to be worried about when it comes to putting these in your mouth!
Tip: I make these salads as easy, protein packed snacks to go. I try to pack veggies into these for flavor and so it's a more complete meal. When I am in a rush I often grab a container of tuna salad and just toss it over greens or grab a handful of crackers on the go. Indulgent, nutritious, and delicious!
