New Kids on the Block
The time has come! Tomorrow we will be doing our first deliveries in Maine. We are pleased as punch to be working with so many local growers and producers to put this first share together. Some of their delicious products will also make their way into our Massachusetts shares, so we are spreading the deliciousness.
Steering the Family Dinner ship up North will be Joe, pictured, as our intrepid General Manager. Joe’s past life includes over 20 years in the craft beer industry. He’s sold beer to and done events with some of New England’s best bars and restaurants and comes to Family Dinner with a love of bringing folks together over food and drink.
We are FULL STEAM AHEAD on our NuMarket campaign to help build out the dream in Maine. We have $13,000 left to raise and just 12 days to do it! Please share the campaign with your fellow food lovers in MA, ME, and NH. We would so appreciate your help spreading the word and only have a couple of weeks to hit our goal. Thanks, friends!

RECIPES
(from Shannon)
Skillet Sausage and Potatoes - Take the recipe outside on stay on the stove, but a one pan meal you can enjoy easily any day this week!
Sausage Stuffed Poblano Peppers - Add the quickles to cut through the peppers and sausage, and delish!
Yellow Fin Tuna Burgers - Fun burgers that you could top on a Roasted Beet Salad or Mustard Green Salad.
Pasta with Creamy Roasted Beet Sauce - If you're looking for a new way to use beets and like having fun with your food, this is a good one to try!
French Toast - When Jackie from A&J King said this week it was going to be a Cranberry Sourdough, I immediately thought of sammys with a grainy mustard and greens OR French toast. Both amazing, but I'm feeling sweet this morning and hope this will make your brunches berry tasty.
Lebanese Beef and Green Bean Stew - Hearty and delish for an easy meal!
Maine Friends, these ones are for you!
Flank Steak with Mushroom Sauce - Easy and delish dinner! If you aren't feeling a mushroom sauce, try out a salsa verde!
Kale and Brussels Sprouts Salad - Crunchy hearty salad that'll get better the longer it sits!
