Going Bananas

Good Morning!

A quick note, we will be removing bananas from the store. We have been having a frustrating issue with supply chain and have been unable to control for quality and ripeness. It has been driving us... bananas. You get it.

We will be removing them from the store and from folks' subscriptions until we can get a better handle on these issues.

You can still get Certified Organic, Equal Exchange Limes, Lemons and Avocados from the store and we will let you know when the naners are back in town.

Let us know if you have any questions, we are always here for you.

Cheers,

Erin, Joe and the Family Dinner Team

Nouvelle Chef

Friends, meet Sarah, a wonderful chef that will be working with Family Dinner this week. She has crafted the vegetarian proteins (eggplant meatballs) and the mezze (green goddess dressing) for MA-customers this week and ME/NH folks next week.

Sarah is the chef owner of Two Knives and a Pan and man, are we in for a treat!

As a personal chef, Sarah Hartzell worked inside many clients’ homes and saw that the menu planning was just as valuable as the actual cooking. She loves helping families eat together and wanted to bring her personal chef experience to more homes. Thus the idea for Two Knives and a Pan’s Meal Membership was born! In this program, members receive a bag of meals every week without needing to remember to reorder or make menu selections. Simply sign-up, answer a few questions, and dinner is done. Two Knives and a Pan’s meals are vegetable forward, use globally inspired flavors, and take less than 15-minutes to heat and serve.

A mom of two young kids herself, Sarah understands the pressure of parenthood and wants to make it easier for families to sit down for dinner together.

Curious? Want to give it a go? Family Dinner members can receive $25 off their first two weeks with the code FAMILYDINNER.

Have a great weekend!

I need to skip this week!

Please email us by Sunday evening if you'd like us to skip for you! (It really, REALLY helps us if you skip BEFORE orders process early Monday morning.)

I'm traveling this week/month/year!

You can take us with you! Get in touch and we'll put together a custom package of goodies to keep you sated while you're enjoying the Cape or Bar Harbor. If you're expecting to be away for several weeks or months we can put your subscription on hold.

I'm allergic and/or hate this item!

Send us an email with your name and we'll make a note to your account to substitute those items when they're a part of your share.

What do I do with these bags/ice packs?

Please leave them outside for our drivers to collect and return to home base. We'll get them cleaned up and back into rotation.

We want YOU... to email us

If something is amiss in your order, or you need to make a special request, we want to know about it. Email us—we love hearing from you and we're happy to help however we can!

Have a wonderful weekend!
—The Fam Din Team

Recipes (MA)

We have yellow fin tuna for everyone this week! We know we have offered tuna a few times in the past months but the season is short and we want to carpe tuna while we can.

Asian Cucumber Salad - A perfect partner for your tuna.

Three Minute Tuna Steaks - Keep that sear hot but light, don't cook too long.

Lemony Kale Caesar- A great summer meal and a perfect side for tuna, chicken or steak.

Recipes (ME + NH)

Honey-Soy Glazed Salmon - Comes together super quickly so you're not blasting additional heat around the kitchen. And pretty easily translatable to the grill. Or...

...Grilled Teriyaki Salmon - Knock this out instead.

Smashed Asian Cucumber Salad - Refreshing as heck. Remarkably delicious. Perfect summer side for that salmon. And perfect use for these beautiful Suyo cucumbers from Snell Family Farm.

Fava Bean Succotash - We've got fava beans! These meaty lil' labors of love (click through here for a primer on shelling) are totally worth the effort, IMO. And you can't go wrong tossing them in with other summer veg for this classic seasonal dish.
