No matter what you're celebrating, we have you covered for delicious meals.

Much love,

Erin, Joe and the Family Dinner team

Pierogi Party

Not to brag, but we're famous. Well technically our friends are famous so I'm gonna call it close enough. Our friends Vanessa and Casey, the founders and owners of Jaju Pierogi are going to be on Shark Tank tonight!

Check them out at 8pm Eastern on ABC as they swim (in the pierogi suit!) with the sharks.

Starting a small business is such a grind; on your time, your money and sometimes your sense of worth. The highs and lows can feel like whiplash. To see these women getting national attention for their years of grit and hard work fills our cold dead New England hearts with joy.

And we love their story:

"Sixty years ago, our Jaju (dziadziu, or grandfather) started a Polish food business with his brothers and sisters in Western Massachusetts—hand-crafting pierogi, golabki, and kielbasa for their community. Fast forward to the ‘90s and you’d find us spending our weekends cutting, stuffing, and sealing pierogi in the back kitchen alongside our elders.

In 2015, we decided to head to the family store and dust off our grandfather’s recipes. We got to work on the kitchen table, tinkering away and sampling to our friends, before beginning to sell our pierogi at farmers markets in Winter 2016. We named our business Jaju Pierogi as an ode to our family’s story and the inspiration behind our brand."

So fire up some rogi, tune in and watch some home town superstars crush it.

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

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!

Recipes

Italian-Sausage Burgers with Garlicky Spinach - Will be subbing the pork sausage with the (tasty as hell) chicken Italian from Tide Mill. And if you're out of spinach from last week like I am, you could use a smaller amount of the mustard greens from this week like I am. 🙌

Skate With Herb & Mushroom Stuffing - This sounds darn good. And if there's a break in the rain, I'll be making this on Sun.

~~Chicken~~ Vegan Shawarma Kebab Salad - This feels like cheating. The excellent kebab from Boston Vegan, tossed onto salad with crumbled feta. A meal in as long as it takes to heat the kebab.
