What I’m making this week:

Crispy Pan Seared Salmon with Lemon Parmesan Sauce – this beautiful meal comes together with salmon from Cold Country, Kuhn’s garlic and shallots, and the last few summer zucchinis and a handful of arugula from Rendezvous Farm.
Focaccia Stuffing with Chorizo, Butternut Squash, and Goat Cheese This recipe allows you to sub focaccia for a baguette from Metropolitan Bakery you’ve (intentionally) let sit on the counter for a few days. Use sausage from Pipeline Poultry, Garner’s butternut (or honeynut) squash, and of course, Cheese Goatees chevre. This is certainly one that will impress at Friendsgiving!
It’s inevitable that someone at your holiday parties has a food allergy or restriction, I like to make sure I’m the hero of the party by bringing a few sweets from VegHeaven and some savory snacks from Green Almond Pantry, but you can always grab a bottle of Ancient Foods olive oil, add a touch of seasoning, and some fresh bread, too.
