Lunches and Dinners

  • Honey Mustard Dense Bean Salad

    One of my favorite flavors rolled into a DBS that's very fall-fitting. Loaded with fall vegetables -- kale, sweet potato, cauliflower -- and protein-rich beans. Comes refrigerated.

  • The Ultimate Grilled Cheese-Tomato Soup Meal

    A match made in heaven. A tomato-basil soup that's as simple as it is layered, paired with a grilled cheese that's as bougie as it gets without losing the plot. Meal includes 32 or 64 oz. tomato-basil soup, half or full loaf of Nantucket Bakery sourdough bread and a perfect blend of savory-melty sliced cheese for DIY assembling. Your kids' stamp of approval also included.

  • Pork and Coconut Curry Broth Bowl

    Not quite a soup, not just a bowl. This multi-dimensional dish combines a rice base, a ground pork protein and an umami-rich red curry broth. Components come separately for a fresh plating that's both vibrant and heartening. Curry broth and seasoned meat mixtures come frozen. Rice comes dehydrated with fresh veg for garnish.

  • Mushroom Vegetarian Lasagna Meal (Serves 8)

    Something about this lasagna -- the mushrooms, to be sure -- give it more fall than winter vibes. It's a transition piece. And a damn sumptuous one at that. The heartiness, umami and fill of a traditional lasagna -- with all the layers, complexity and.. cheese.. you come to expect. Limited quantities available. Meal includes bread, greens and house vinaigrette.

  • Lentil Green Chili with Smoked Sausage

    Light and rich at the same time, a variation of chili verde with smoked pork sausage and green lentils for protein and fiber. Chile comes frozen wiith sour cream, diced red onion and avocado on the side.

  • Shredded Hoisin Garlic Chicken Bowls

    Boneless chicken thighs slow-cooked and shredded in a hoisin, garlic and tomato paste sauce that's slightly sweet with a twinge of spice. Chicken mixture comes frozen to be served over white rice (comes dehydrated) and garnished with a rice vinegar-cucumber salad.

Extras

  • Banana-Nut Muffins (Dozen)

    A classic. Although I consider these a breakfast item, I have a client who auto-orders to appease her sweet tooth. The over-ripe bananas and brown sugar balance the Greek yogurt for an all-ages, all-times-of-the-day bite. That time can even be dessert. Muffins come frozen.

  • Candied Jalapenos (8 fl oz.)

    A fridge staple and a great addition to any dish if you're looking for a little heat. They're jalapenos, so they're spicy - but they stew in vinegar and sugar for a slightly pickled, slightly sweet sensation that dulls the heat while giving it a really unique flavor.

  • Soy-Marinated Eggs

    These "viral" hard-boiled, marinated eggs are actually a classic component of a Korean table. A great way to get the flavor built-in to your hard-boiled eggs. Best-served with a little chili crisp. Our kids eat them straight out of the jar.

  • Breakfast Burritos: Chorizo

    My personal favorite. Locally sourced and seasoned pork chorizo, tater tots, peppers and onions, monterey jack cheese, candied jalapenos and egg all wrapped up in an XL flour tortilla. Includes five fully-cooked, frozen burritos and comes with a side of Cilantro-Jalapeno Crema.

  • Butter-Onion Tomato Sauce (16 fl. oz.)

    The sauce of the summer, here to sustain you through the fall. Market-fresh Michigan tomatoes harvested at their peak and stewed with butter and onion, blended into a smooth creamy sauce. The best expression of farm-grown summer tomatoes. Simply perfect. Sauce comes frozen for you to hoard all fall and winter like squirrels do acorns.
