New Recipe Inspiration

Posted on January 12th, 2024 by Mike Kozlowski

This week a friend mentioned how much he would love recipe inspiration without all of the commentary that typically comes along with online recipes. I agree.


Here is my first attempt at a very simple, straightforward meal plan to help you out this week. I hope it is useful – if it is, please let me know!

Breakfast:


• Organic Oat Trilogy Hot Cereal with Toppings


Prepare the cereal as per instructions.

Top with sliced apples, a dollop of Vital Green Vanilla Yogurt, and a drizzle of The Maple Farm Pure Organic Maple Syrup.
Serve with a side of Vital Greens Chocolate Milk.


• The Maple Tree Sourdough Toast with Spreads

• Toast slices of The Maple Tree - Rustic bread. Buttered.

Fry eggs and add microgreens. Put it all on top of the bread.

Alternatively, spread with Vital Greens Cream Cheese and top with Mojojojo Smoked Apple Chutney or Homemade Simple Blueberry Jam.


• Accompany with a cup of Chai Wallahs Masala Chai Tea.

 

Lunch:


• Sourdough Pasta Salad


Cook Kaslo Sourdough Hemp Sourdough Rotini, then cool.


Toss with diced mini cucumbers, bell peppers and Sylvan Star Gouda Herbs and Garlic (cubed).


Dress with olive oil, Chickadee Farm Organic Italian Blend Herbs, and a splash of lemon juice.


• Veggie and Cheese Platter


Arrange slices of Sylvan Star Aged Gouda, Feta Cheese, and Fairwinds Monterey Jack Goat Cheese on a platter.


Add sliced cucumbers, bell peppers, and radishes for crunch.


Serve with The Maple Tree - French bread.


Dinner:


• Beef and Vegetable Stir-Fry


Stir-fry 2lbs Extra Lean Grass Finished Ground Beef with carrots, peppers, garlic and onions


Season with soy sauce and a hint of Mojojojo Pumpkin Chipotle Lime Ketchup for a spicy kick.


Serve over a bed of cooked Kaslo Classic Sourdough Macaroni.


• Roasted Vegetables and Baked Chicken


Roast a mix of Organic Sweet Potatoes, Golden Beets, and Red Grape Tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.


Bake chicken seasoned with Chickadee Farm Organic - Savory Herbs Blend.


Serve with a side of Deepwater Farms Baby Chard salad, dressed lightly with olive oil and lemon.

 

Snacks:

  • Goodness Bombs and Warrior Protein Bar for a quick energy boost.

 

  • Cheese and Crackers: Pair slices of Sylvan Star - Medium Cheddar with small pieces of sourdough bread or crackers.


Desserts:

  • Strawberry and Yogurt Parfait: Layer Vital Green Strawberry Yogurt with thawed strawberries and a sprinkle of Organic Flax Seed.
  • Chocolate Zucchini Loaf from The Maple Tree as a sweet treat.


Beverages:


  • North Water Sparkling Can and Wild Brewing Co Kombucha as refreshing drink options throughout the day.

  • Dose Essential Espresso or Dose Cold Brew for a coffee kick.

 

Home Delivery Orders: 

If you get your orders home delivered we very much want to make sure that your products are not freezing. If you didn't see the email I send earlier this week please read the summarized notes below: 

  • Winter Delivery Precautions: To ensure your Steel Pony orders arrive in perfect condition, especially in chilly weather, please place a cooler with a warm water bottle outside your home if you'll be away during our delivery hours (3-5 pm). This simple step prevents freezing and guarantees the freshness of your products upon arrival.

  • Delivery Time Variations: Our team is adjusting to the winter season, leading to slight variations in delivery times. Staff transitions may cause deliveries to be a bit earlier or later than usual. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this period.
