Dear Farm Friends,
We hope this message finds you well after a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! Our family truly embraced the spirit of gratitude and togetherness, taking a slower pace to savor the day surrounded by loved ones.
The girls had an absolute blast riding in the combine on Friday – it was an adventure they won't soon forget! Their giggles and smiles made it a highlight for us all.
As we gear up for another vibrant week on the farm, we wanted to give you a heads-up: Sadie is kicking off her basketball season, and Monday night might find us at her game. If we're not around when you swing by to pick up your basket, rest assured it'll be waiting on the porch, and any meat orders will be safely stored in the cooler for you.
Our vegetable fields are still brimming with goodness, offering an abundance of options for your weekly selection. This week, we're excited to share an array of crisp, fresh romaine lettuce as our featured veggie.
To make the most of this week's harvest, here are five fantastic ideas and recipes to try with the romaine lettuce:
1. Classic Caesar Salad: Dive into the timeless flavors of a Caesar salad with homemade dressing and fresh romaine leaves.
2. Grilled Romaine Hearts: Elevate your grilling game by lightly charring romaine hearts and topping them with a zesty vinaigrette.
3. Romaine Lettuce Wraps: Create flavorful wraps filled with your choice of protein, veggies, and sauces for a delicious handheld meal.
4. Romaine and Roasted Veggie Medley: Roast a mix of seasonal vegetables and toss them with chopped romaine for a colorful, nutritious dish.
5. Romaine Cups with Herbed Quinoa: Fill romaine cups with a savory quinoa mixture for a delightful and satisfying appetizer.
We hope these ideas inspire your culinary adventures this week!
Thank you for being part of our farm community. Your ongoing support means the world to us. Have an amazing week ahead filled with fresh flavors and delightful meals!
Warm regards,
The Schultz Family
