Recipes
of the Week
Here’s a great way to incorporate pears and arugula into your weekly menu! Or sub the arugula for spinach or other mixed greens for an equally delicious salad. The base of this salad is gorgeous mixed greens. The fruit: tender, ripe pear. Dried cherries add a slight chew and tartness.
Super simple candied walnuts add crunch, nuttiness, and subtle sweetness. And it’s all tossed in a tangy, 4-ingredient balsamic vinaigrette! Find the recipe here.
Roasted Beets with Pistachios, Herbs, and Orange
Wondering how to add a twist to already-delicious roasted beets? Look no further: Chef Naomi Pomeroy goes above and beyond, topping red and golden beet slices with a lively mixed-herb dressing, pistachios and celery leaves. Find the recipe here.

Pantry Items
New Products: Something Sweet...
- Ben’s Sugar Shack Maple Kettle Corn– If you like maple syrup, and you like popcorn, then this NH-made treat is perfect for you!
- Brewer’s Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies- Did you know that Brewer’s is an Up-Cycled cracker company driven to reduce food waste in the craft brewing industry? Here’s what they have to say: “When making beer, brewers steep super high-quality grains, like barley, in water. They then strain this mixture, keeping the liquid to make beer and discard the “spent” grains. Turns out, these grains are still incredibly flavorful and the steeping process actually unlocks valuable nutrients. We recycle these grains into our crackers and chips!” You can feel good about eating these cookies–you are doing your part to help reduce food waste while simultaneously enjoying a crispy, golden brown, slightly sweet, slightly salty treat!
New Products: Something Savory…
- Spicy Cheddar Rye Crackers from Seven Stars Bakery– These crispy and cheesy crackers with a hint of cayenne are handmade with the finest ingredients, including our house-milled flour featuring Maine Grains. Delicious, small-batch Seven Stars Crackers make a great addition to your cheeseboard, pair beautifully with your favorite wine or beer and create the perfect stand-alone snack. Cheers!
- Tangy Honey Mustard from Butternut Mountain Farm- Zesty and sweet, this Tangy Honey Mustard pairs mustard with the sweetness of honey. This delicious condiment is great for glazes and sandwiches.
