This Week's Food

CAN You Believe It??

CAN You Believe It??

Throughout history, humans have been preserving foods for lean periods via drying, salting, and fermenting; however, canning is a relatively new food preservation method.  It wasn’t until a “small” general in France needed to find ways to feed his constantly moving army that canning became prevalent.

Veggies With a View

Veggies With a View

If you have ever been to Crane Beach in Ipswich, MA you may recall the stunning grandeur of the space, the majesty of the views. (The grill at the snack shop also makes a stellar hot dog, which is its own majesty in my eyes. Extra relish, please.)

As you navigate the serpentine curves of Argilla Road toward the beach you are greeted by the expansive marsh on either side. You take it all in and slowly, steadily the rest of the world slips away, taking your to-do list and your piles of unfolded laundry with it.

Quiche, Coffee, and a Whole Lotta Lox.

Quiche, Coffee, and a Whole Lotta Lox.

Sounds like the perfect summer lunch/brunch, doesn't it? Sure does, especially to someone like me who is growing more and more abjectly lazy with cooking by the day.  (Do I live off dry cereal? Maybe. Did I have peanut butter straight from the jar with a side of string cheese for lunch last week? That's none of your business.)

Surprise! New Add-ons!

It turns out that every six years, Erin's and my (Shannon's) birthdays fall on consecutive packing days, and this happens to be one of those years.  And who doesn't love giving presents on their birthdays?? This year, we are gifting you not one, but TWO new add-ons!  (And a short newsletter!)

KEEPING  IT FRESH!

KEEPING IT FRESH!

Shannon here! If you've come to us at Family Dinner, I have to assume that you care about your food. You want to make sure that it's local, healthy, and that it's good for you, the community, and the environment. And we love that about you and love serving you all this local, seasonal bounty! Sometimes, though, you may not get to that beautiful bunch of kale right away or are questioning what fruit is okay to leave on the counter or the fridge.

Still loving you.... a latke.

Still loving you.... a latke.

Over the past year we started doing pop-ups in our Family Dinner store.  We wanted to bring some of our favorite places, makers, and doers right into your home, to have a little fun and enchant your tummies during grey times. They have been the brain child of our teammate Olivia who carefully curates the collections and manages all the madness on the back end. For this week's Pop-Up we wanted to return to one of our favorite restaurants and the place where the Pop-Up Party began, Mamaleh's Delicatessen.

Shout Outs!

Shout Outs!

This week the Boston Renegades headed to Canton, Ohio for the Super Bowl of the Women's Football Alliance. They're on mission THREEPEAT after taking the Championship in 2018 and 2019.  This team gives us the warm fuzzies for sure given that many of the players (and both owners!) are Family Dinner customers. Several members of the team are also Family Dinner packers and drivers. (You may have seen them pulling a swim move past your dog to get your share on the porch and then doing high knees back to the car.)

Texachusetts in the House!

Chef Amanda Escamilla is the founder of Tex Mex Eats and the maker of the incredibly delicious tamales that pop up in the vegetarian shares, much to everyone's delight.  We have known Amanda for many years,  her professionalism, perfectionism and wonderfully infectious laugh never cease to amaze. Oh, and the tamales are out of this dang world.

We have started a Summer Stock Up option on the website.  We know you're so excited for a summer of travel, time with friends, family and good eating! As you plan your travel this summer, please take us with you!  Stock your fridge and freezer with your favorites from this collection; pork butts, crab cakes, tamales, EMPANADAS and more. If you don't see what you want, let us know and we'll help you get what you need for your trip! (I was tempted to call this section "TAKE ME WITH YOU" but was overruled for, once again, being far. too. creepy.)

Berry, Berry Excited.

Berry, Berry Excited.

It's Summer in New England which means it's time to grab more hot dogs and fried seafood than one person can reasonably handle. Personally, when I'm done smashing lobster rolls and French Fries into my face like a crazed Hungry, Hungry Hippo, I like to settle into a nice cobbler or short cake to really zero things out. It's simple math.

A last little love letter from the Seven Hills team: 

"We created Seven Hills Pasta Co. with the belief that food can bring people together. In Italy, when you are invited to a "Spaghettata" you're asked to enjoy more than a bowl of that country's best. We echo this call to celebrate good friends with good food. In that spirit, we invite you to share our pasta with the people who make your life richer, too!"

The Next Generation

The Next Generation

A few weeks ago we received a really wonderful email from a local high school student Alex Lo, pictured. Alex is sixteen and had just attended a talk we gave to a cohort at a MA HOBY event about Family Dinner and our mission to use data and technology to shorten the local food supply chain and eliminate waste in the system.

Something New in the Mix...

Working with other small local businesses is one of the highlights of our work. This week we are excited to team up with Carolyn's Farm Kitchen to bring her delicious pancake mix into your homes to level up your breakfast. Is there anything better than sitting in front of a giant pile of pancakes? (Am I the only one who will eat them cold, hours later? Maybe.)
