Orders This Week

Good morning everyone! We had a big order packing night last night, a new record number of orders for us.

A few things: our bookkeeper Sheila comes in on Tuesday afternoons (her kids volunteer with order packing, to!) so the account balance that is on the Order Invoice is not necessarily accurate (we print them to pack orders, before she arrives). All accounts are updated now and you can view all of your account information including previous orders, balance, etc. by logging in and clicking on Your Account. Sheila is going to be running a balance report to wrap up 2007 numbers so you may be getting a reminder from her if your balance is in the negative.

Welcome to all of our new Members! We added quite a few this week. Please remember to check the cooler at your pickup site if you ordered Meats or Pasta. As always if there are any questions about your order please call us on our cell ASAP 256-282-7889.

We have another Cooking Class coming up at The Cook’s Warehouse Midtown location! The wonderful folks at Cook’s host a weekly pickup for us and they want to highlight our good local foods. On Wednesday January 30th Will and I will prepare several dishes with the contents of one of our orders. Hope you can come, bring a friend or tell a friend! You can register for the class online at www.cookswarehouse.com or call them at 404-815-4993.

If you need some recipe inspiration for any of the items in our box we recommend www.foodnetwork.com or www.allrecipes.com. These are great resources for ideas.

Roasted Root Vegetables

We make these a lot, especially at this time of year. You can use a mix of any root vegetables including Sweet Potatoes, Radishes, Onions, Turnips, Beets, etc.

Wash and chop root vegetables into 1” bite sized pieces,

Toss together with just enough Olive Oil to coat, season with salt and pepper.

Spread in an even layer on a baking sheet and roast at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until browned and tender when poked with a fork. Stir/turn after 10 minutes.

Try other seasonings such as chopped fresh herbs, cumin or curry, garlic.
