Recipes
Blackened Cajun Catfish
This super-speedy, spicy dish works with any white fish filet. Catch your own or choose a sustainable fish.
Summer Chicken Curry
This lux tasting curry is easily adapted to include whatever veggies you have on hand.
Pineapple Angel Food Cake with Raspberries & Honey Drizzle
Honey from our friends at Humble Bumble and a sprig of berry mint take this simple dessert to a level of luxury you have to taste to believe. It’s the ultimate fat-free, dairy-free, vegetarian summer dessert!
Mint & Feta Stuffed Lamb Patties
Mint is a perfect complement to lamb. Add a clove of minced garlic to the lamb mixture for even more kick.
Lemon Mint Sugar Snap Peas
This speedy side dish complements so many styles of cooking. It’s a kid pleaser, too!
Beef Stew
Manteca adds depth of flavor and richness to this classic stew, but you can sub in vegetable oil if needed. (We save bacon fat from breakfast in a little jar in the refrigerator to use for this sort of thing.) Any combination of root vegetables works in this recipe: turnips, golden beets, parsnips, carrots.
Chicken Alfredo Lasagna
We are lazy and love no-boil lasagna noodles, but you can use regular lasagna noodles if you like extra work. Or to make it even easier, shred some rotisserie chicken instead of poaching your own.
Persian Lamb Meatballs with Tomato Rice
This dish is slow food magic! Use half of the spinach in the meatballs themselves, and reserve the other half for the sauce – same goes for the cilantro. You can buy Baharat spice or make your own blend like we do.
Thai Chicken Lettuce Cups
This dish is a Toad Hall favorite. For added zing, grate a little extra ginger and add it to the sauce in step 9.
Kale, Sweet Potato and Apple Salad
The key to this recipe is actually rubbing the dressing into the kale by hand to create a tender texture. You can use a peeler to shave thin strips off of a block of romano cheese. Kale, yeah!
Marcella’s Magic Sauce with Roasted Spaghetti Squash
This rich, simple comfort dish is so easy that the only way to mess it up is to change or complicate it. San Marzano canned tomatoes are readily available in Bloomington, so make no substitutions unless it’s to swap in fresh, garden tomatoes. Based on Italian foodie and cookbook author Marcella Hazan’s classic sauce recipe, this might inspire you to ditch pasta sauce from a jar forever. We’re never going back!
