Menu for Dec 2

Greetings again from the Eat Well Kitchen, where we are always happy to cook up great goodies for you.
Find out what we have on this week by reading below and tell your friends!

Raymond Loo who is a potato expert, recommended that I use his organic Fabula potatoes for the FRENCH POTATO SALAD. This is potatoes, peppers, celery, green onions & fresh dill with white wine vinegar, grainy mustard and herbs.

If you are looking for some delicious protein, give the TOFU, QUINOA & S
WEET POTATOES a whirl. This is a nice light meal and quinoa is so good for you and tasty too.

Here is something yummy, especially if you are a fan of caramelized onions, the WHITE BEAN & VEGETABLE CASSOULET has a tomato base and lots of great flavors. The topping is June-Ellen's Spelt-Carrot bread crumbs.

O.K. this week's pasta dish is a very good one. It is WHOLE WHEAT SPAGHETTI, tossed with caramelized onions seasoned with some fresh rosemary, some sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. For the vegetarians, you get some nuts for protein and if you like GRILLED CHICKEN, we have that too.

I'm a fan of the INDONESIAN TOFU, VEGETABLE & RICE STIR-FRY. It is marinated tofu stir-fried with peppers, onions and carrots and organic brown rice with a zesty peanut sauce.

I know some of you have been waiting for me to make you KEN'S "FULL OF CHEESE" VEGGIE SQUARES so here it is. This is a low carb, low fat, gluten-free yet very yummy meal that is a mix of almost every vegetable I can find, covered with Mozza, Cheddar, Parmesan & Feta cheeses and baked.

T
he herbs I picked up this week match the song from SIMON & GARFUNKLE's Parsley, Sage & Rosemary & Thyme. So those are the herbs we are tossing with the CHICKEN before roasting. We're serving this with SCALLOPED POTATOES or RICE.

Our other chicken choice is CHICKEN BIRYANI. This is a traditional Pakistan/Indian dish of tender morsels of chicken in a creamy, spicy blend of onion, garlic, ginger, tomatoes, soy yogurt and spices served with SPICED RICE. This meal is both gluten-free and diary-free.

The BEEF, CHEESE & VEGETABLE SWIRLS are pastries made from whole wheat and unbleached white flours filled with lean ground beef, tomatoes, peppers, onions, cheddar and seasonings.

The SAUSAGE SHEPHERD'S PIE has a base of Italian sausage and vegetables lightly seasoned with some curry and it is topped with a mix of mashed SWEET POTATOES & SQUASH.

We are gearing up for Christmas. We intend to make your "Sticky Date Pudding" again this year.

You have the choice of the 8x8 for $28 or 9X11 for $45. 8 oz of extra sauce is $5
Please let me know the size you'd like and if you prefer to pick it up at the Market on Saturday the 20th or Tuesday Dec. 23rd.

Menu for Tuesday, Nov. 25

Hi There,
Well, it looks like winter is here. It's a bit soon for me. I'm having trouble adjusting to the cold.
But it is warm and cozy here in the kitchen where we are cooking up the following for you.....

Here is a yummy new salad for you to try...the
BROWN RICE SALAD WITH FRUIT & SEEDS is organic brown rice, some sunflower, sesame & pumpkin seeds, some dried cranberries and currant with a dressing of lemon, honey & olive oil.

Here is some comfort food to try...the
TOFU & VEGETABLE POT PIE. This is marinated tofu and lots of Farmer's Market vegetables cooked in a savoury herb sauce, topped with a vegan biscuit crust. This meal is vegan and we have some without the crust if you are looking for gluten-free.

The NORTH AFRICAN CHICKPEAS is an lovely yet unusual way to enjoy chickpeas. We cook chickpeas with onions, sweet potatoes, apricots, raisins, garlic, ginger and season it with cumin, cinnamon, chili peppers & lemon. We garnish it with almonds and serve on MILLET.

I love PUTTANESCA SAUCE and it has been way too long since we've had it. This is sauteed peppers, onions, tomatoes, black olives & capers with a little bit of spice and we're serving it on ANGEL HAIR PASTA.

As you may guess, the BANANA-TOFU CURRY has some sweetness to it with the bananas, plus coconut and raisins but you might find a little heat too. We're offering this with some BASMATI RICE.

For the CHICKEN WITH 40 CLOVES OF GARLIC, we cooked the garlic for a long time to make it sweet and mild and added the chicken with some stock and a bit of white wine. We're serving this with ROASTED POTATOES or RICE and squash.

It must be time to offer this favorite again...the TERIYAKI BEEF STIR-FRY is cooked with lots of crunchy vegetables in a slightly sweet Asian sauce served with your choice of RICE or NOODLES.

We know how much you enjoy the MOROCCAN meals we make so how about the SPICED CHICKEN. The main spices used in Morocco are cumin, coriander, cinnamon and sometimes nutmeg. We are adding a bit of orange juice to this meal and you may have it with RICE or ISRAELI COUSCOUS.

The CURRIED GROUND BEEF, PEAS & POTATOES is lean ground beef cooked with potatoes, onions, peas, ginger and garlic with plenty of great Indian spices served on some BROWN RICE

Stay warm....

Menu for Thursday, Nov. 20

Hi There,
I'm sorry we weren't able to get meals to you today (Tuesday), but I'm doing much better and will be cooking up goodies for you to deliver on Thursday. Check out the menu below....

Your favorite is back! The GREEK PASTA SALAD. This is fusilli pasta with vegetables, black olives and Feta Cheese tossed with our own dressing. We also offer this with GRILLED CHICKEN.


We put away some basil and with it we will offer you the LINGUINE WITH CREAMY PESTO SAUCE & VEGGIES. This is a low fat sauce bursting with flavor. We also have it with GRILLED CHICKEN.

Margaret made us this THAI CURRIED TOFU & RICE NOODLE POT the other day and it was delicious. I asked her to do the same for you. This is gluten-free rice noodles in a zesty coconut curry sauce with tofu. It is garnished with cilantro & lime.

RED LENTIL DAHL is my version of comfort food. This is red lentils cooked with Indian spices and coconut milk with vegetables & spinach and served on BROWN BASMATI RICE.


The TOFU PAELLA is a Spanish vegetable and rice dish using saffron as a main seasoning. We are putting fresh fennel in our version along with some marinated tofu.


Our version of CHICKEN SCHNITZEL is chicken breast pieces dredged in chickpea flour and lightly pan fried, then we add a yummy mushroom sauce made with fat free sour cream. Would you prefer this with EGG NOODLES or POTATOES?

The SLOW & SWEET STEAK is sirloin tip beef in a slightly sweet tomato & molasses sauce with some smoked paprika cooked till tender. It comes with your choice of POTATOES or RICE.


Here is a favorite of many...the GINGER-CASHEW CHICKEN. The chicken and vegetables are cooked in a wok with toasted cashews and a yummy ginger sauce and it's garnished with pickled ginger. This is served on JASMINE RICE.

We made the SALISBURY STEAK from lean ground beef, egg and some seasonings. They are served on MASHED POTATOES, VEGETABLES AND ONION GRAVY.


Have a wonderful week!

Menu for Thursday, Nov. 13

Hi There,
That is my great-nephew "Jude" in the picture with me. Isn't he a cutie?

Did you enjoy that extra day off. It's kind of nice to get one in mid week.
Check out below what we have going on this week and email us your order.

Our MEDITERRANEAN COUSCOUS SALAD is whole wheat couscous, sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, Feta Cheese and herbs tossed with fresh Lemon juice and olive oil.

The TOFU & VEGETABLE QUICHE is completely vegan and it has fresh broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, onions and sun-dried tomatoes in it as well as fresh herbs and it is all in a whole wheat crust.

I hear that it has been too long since we have offered the ZESTY BEANS, RICE & LENTILS. This is black beans, organic brown rice and green lentils cooked with onions, tomatoes and corn and garnished with yummy salsa.

Someone was asking me when I was going to make the SPICY THAI NOODLES WITH TOFU & PEANUT SAUCE again, so here it is. We use rice noodles to keep it gluten-free and add it to stir-fried veggies and our spicy peanut sauce and finish it off with marinated tofu. "Those who like it, like it alot"!

The cheeses in the BAKED PENNE WITH 3 CHEESE SAUCE AND BROCCOLI are Cheddar, Parmesan and Cream cheese. This dish is also available with CHICKEN.

We are using rice noodles for the ROASTED VEGETABLE LASAGNA for those of you who wish GLUTEN-FREE. It still has all the great flavor!

The BALSAMIC CHICKEN WITH BOSC PEARS is sauteed chicken breasts and bosc pears simmered in a tasty balsamic vinegar sauce. We are serving this with either JASMINE RICE or Mashed Potatoes.

The PEPPERY PEPPER STEAK is sirloin tip strips stir-fried with sweet peppers & onions and some green & black peppercorns. You can enjoy this with either RICE or SPUDS.

Our BETTER BUTTER CHICKEN is healthier than the traditional version which uses butter and cream. This is an Indian dish with lots of spices and flavor. It is tomato based and we use yogurt to make it creamy. This comes with BROWN BASMATI RICE

We have some fresh pineapple so how about SWEET & SOUR PINEAPPLE MEAT BALLS. The meatballs are made with lean ground beef, egg and seasonings. They are in a yummy pineapple sauce with onions and peppers servedwith ORGANIC BROWN RICE.

We are back to catering now too. Call or email for our menu.

Menu for Tuesday, Nov. 4th

Hi There,
What did you think of that snow? I'm not quite ready for it.
Next Tuesday is Rememberance Day so we won't be delivering that day, instead we will cook on Wednesday and deliver on Thursday.
Read below to find out what we have going on this week.

The CHICKPEA AND ARTICHOKE SALAD is one of my favorites. It is chickpeas and marinated artichokes with sauteed onions, sun-dried tomatoes and a lemon-olive oil dressing.

The TOFU KORMA is tofu cooked with some great Indian spices and ground cashews, onion, garlic & ginger. It comes with steamed spinach on BROWN BASMATI RICE.

I would like to recommend the VEGETARIAN MOUSSAKA. It is one of my favorite ways to eat eggplant. This Greek layered dish has sliced potatoes, then there is a tomato-chickpea mixture, then some roasted eggplant and it is topped with a bechamel sauce.

The MEDITERRANEAN PENNE is whole wheat penne tossed with some olive oil, garlic, spinach, tomatoes, kalamata olives, pine nuts for the vegans, Feta Cheese for the vegetarians, & GRILLED CHICKEN for the rest.

Here is a good healthy vegetarian meal that is delicious yet low-cal. The HARVEST STEW is lots of vegetables in a tasty sauce topped with light HERB DUMPLINGS.

The
OVEN BARBEDUCED CHICKEN is marinated chicken breast pieces baked in our yummy home-made barbecue sauce, then baked with SPUDS & sweet potatoes.

Do you remember the SPINACH & SUNDRIED TOMATO STUFFED STEAK? We marinated the beef and stuffed it with the spinach, sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan Cheese and then grilled it. It is served with OVEN ROASTED POTATOES.

The CURRIED MANGO COCONUT CHICKEN is chicken breast pieces cooked in a zesty coconut curry sauce with some fresh mango. It is served on a bed on JASMINE RICE.

Thank you again to all of you who are returning the black containers. It makes a big difference.
Keep your eyes open for the next menu coming out on Wednesday the 12th for Thursday delivery.
