Dinner is served!!

Does the steady march of winter have you singing the "What's for Dinner" blues? Us, too. I'm on day number 417 of cheese quesadillas for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

We have worked with Dave's Fresh Pasta to set up a take over this week; Weeknight Italian Dream.

We have fresh Chicken, Broccoli Rotini (pictured) to start off your week. Mid- Week how about a mushroom ragu or a puttanesca sauce to go with your fresh pasta of the week?

How about some Aracini (stuffed Italian rice balls) for lunch or maybe a Spinach Lasagna? Take a stroll down comfort food Italian lane and whatever you do for the LOVE OF GOD, don't forget the garlic bread.

Put your feet up folks, we've got dinner covered.

Maybe you're asking yourself: what is a puttanesca sauce anyway? It's a flavor bomb of a sauce; olives, capers and anchovies. The origins of sauce are in 17th century Italian prostitutes where the name puttanesca derives. I came this close to titling this email "Prostitute Pasta" but thought better of it - you're welcome.

Then again, maybe you're asking yourself why you read this newsletter in the first place. For more mostly food-related, slightly absurd content, don't forget to follow us on Instagram @sharefamilydinner.

Have a great weekend folks,

Erin, Joe and the Family Dinner team

Food and Country

Hello Folks-

It's nasty out there! We're hoping that the roads are mostly cleared by the time we're out doing deliveries tomorrow but a little extra patience might be in order.

Otherwise, we're keeping it short and sweet this week with a prompt to keep an eye out for a screening of what looks to be a great documentary that hits close to home, Food and Country.

"Worried about the survival of small farmers, ranchers, and chefs hobbled by America’s policy of producing cheap food, trailblazing food writer Ruth Reichl reaches across political and social divides to report on the country's broken food system and the innovators risking everything to transform it."

Erin caught a panel on this and we'll keep you posted if it's showing locally or streaming. The cast and crew are some top notch food producers and thinkers and we're very much looking forward to catching it.

Have a great weekend folks,

Joe, Erin and the Family Dinner team

Recipes (ME + NH)

The Easiest Crispy Pan-Seared Fish Recipe - I'm pretty sure I've posted this before but I made some cod with this from my share last week and it was so dang delicious and easy that I'm posting again. And probably will again. It would be perfect with hake. And quite good with some pickled veg as a garnish. I used some diced up pickled cherry bomb peppers. 🤤

Cheesy Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts - Some gussied up chicken breasts. I don't really need an excuse to add cheese but here's a good balm if you're feeling a bit shy about it: it's a great way to add flavor to chicken breast and to get those kiddos to eat some spinach.

Carrot-Parsnip Soup With Parsnip Chips - Perfect lunch or dinner for a seriously dreary weekend. Another version without a paywall here.

Blackened Mahi Mahi - Straight from the source! Pretend like it's summer and make some pineapple salsa to top your mahi and whip up some margs.
