Fat Moon on the Horizon

As a small business we are nothing without the connection to our wonderful partners who grow and make and produce all the incredibly items we get to share with you. It is a joy to get to put the spotlight on them pass them the mic.

Today we want to share a note from Elizabeth Almeida from Fat Moon mushrooms. Elizabeth is working to grow her business through a grant from the Commonwealth. More info from her:

"Fat Moon Mushrooms is a growing, woman-owned business that is the fungi cornerstone of our local food system in Eastern Massachusetts. We grow unique, gourmet varieties of mushrooms and distribute through local farmstands and partners like Family Dinner. We are on a mission to build a more resilient food system by growing more mushrooms for our local communities.

You have enjoyed our mushrooms for years through Family Dinner and now we need your help! Please donate to our crowdfunding campaign to purchase a refrigerated delivery vehicle. Once we reach $20,000, we will receive a $40,000 grant from the state of Massachusetts. This grant money is intended to support local businesses that show evidence of community support, evidenced through our ability to crowdfund the first $20,000. "

Family Dinner just contributed $1,000 - but every little bit helps!

Recipes (MA)

Classic Sole Meuniere - A French classic. Sure it takes a bit but it is worth every moment.

Hakueri Turnips - Roast these little guys up, a little maple syrup and a little soy sauce bring incredible flavor.

Stelline in Broth - So simple, So rewarding. Cook these guys up, a little bit of butter and some warm chicken broth. It isn't fancy but it might feel like childhood in a bowl.

Recipes (ME + NH)

Red Chili Chicken Enchiladas - Obviously one of the biggesst crowd pleasers of all time, it also comes together quickly. And using chicken leg and thigh quarters, for me, is always the way to go (more flavor, more tender, easier to cook).

Chicken and Cheese Stuffed Green Chiles - A little more work than enchiladas but definitely worth the time.

Negi Sinangag (Green Onion Garlic Fried Rice) - Most of you are getting these delicous (and gigantic) negi onions from Snell Family Farm which are kinda like scallions and can be used in the same applications. This fried rice dish is a great way to let 'em shine. I wouldn't be shy about throwing some other veg or proteins in there (bacon? mushrooms? yes please).

Petrale Sole With Tomato Butter - I was sure we weren't getting any more tomatoes but this mild weather has stretched their season out. This is a nice dish with a touch of summer but is still leaning into autumn.
