THIS WEEK'S FOOD

Open Sesame!

This week we have tahini from Medford based Just Us Foods for your shares and boy oh boy is it amazing.

Tahini is a rich savory spread made from ground up toasted sesame seeds and is a staple in Mediterranean cuisine. And for the word nerds in the room (hello, fellow travelers) the word tahini comes from modern Greek word takhini, based on Arabic ṭaḥana "to crush", which coincidentally is the name of Joe's next band. [🙄 - JG]

This stuff is simply incredible. Spread on warm pita, drizzled on roasted veggies or just slurped down with a spoon it's incredibly versatile.

On their site they explain their origin story, the why and share a slice of their passion:

Let’s rewind to 2017. Picture the Boston food scene back then. We love this city, it’s home, it’s historic, and it’s full of character. But let’s be real for a second: finding healthy food in Boston that actually got your pulse racing was a serious struggle.

Our founder, Colin Daly, a lifelong New Englander with a massive appetite for authentic eats, looked around and said, "We can do better." We wanted to prove that "fast" and "healthy" could totally work together without any footnotes. We wanted to bring high-protein, plant-based meals to the people who needed them most: the students in Cambridge, the doctors at Mass General, the runners on the Esplanade, and everyone in between. We’re Just Us Foods. We’re local, we’re loud, we’re passionate, and we’re making the best damn plant-based food in New England.

We have been sharing their goodies with you for years and are proud to support this small local business. Want more? Check them out at the shop in Beacon Hill at 37 Charles Street to stock on up.

Have a weekend folks, we hope it's delicious.

I need to skip this week!

Please email us by Sunday evening if you'd like us to skip the order that is due to process on Monday! This would not be for the items listed above but for the following delivery. 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

Recipes

Lemon Garlic Scallop Pasta - The best way to stretch out these (EXPENSIVE) plump gems.

Grilled Chicken Salad - It's time for some healthy eating. At least for me. And I'm not willing to skimp on flavor so... And for the vegetarians, absolutely drop in the tempeh as a sub for the chicken.

Easy Shakshuka Recipe - Not sure why the "Easy" is in the title of this recipe since, by nature, shakshuka is a breeze. Had some last night, in fact. We still had some pita from Sharonna's in the freezer which was the perfect accompaniment. (Defrosted... of course. I'm not a monster.)
