September Is Here 🍂

September always feels like a month of transition.

School is back in session, schedules start filling up again, the days are getting a little shorter, and somehow dinner seems to sneak up on us even faster than it did during the summer.

At the same time, this is one of our favorite times of year at Delivered Fresh because there is still so much wonderful local food available. Summer vegetables are hanging on, fall crops are beginning to arrive, and cool mornings are starting to make us think about soups, roasted vegetables, warm breakfasts, and all of those cozy meals that come with fall.

One of the things we have learned in our own family is that eating well doesn't have to mean making something complicated every night. Sometimes it simply means having good ingredients in the house that make meals easier.

A few September staples we love keeping around are:

-Fresh local vegetables for roasting, salads, lunches, and easy sides
Local eggs for quick breakfasts or breakfast-for-dinner nights
-Yogurt and granola for mornings when everyone is heading in a different direction
-Sourdough bread for sandwiches, toast, or alongside soup
-Local meats that can be cooked once and used for several meals
-Cheese, nuts, fruit, and meat sticks for quick snacks
-Frozen pizzas, pulled poultry, soups, and other easy options for the nights when cooking just isn't happening
-Apples and other fall produce as they begin arriving this month

September is also an exciting time to support local farms. For many of our producers, this is one of the busiest and most abundant times of the entire year. Every order you place through Delivered Fresh helps keep more of those dollars within our local food system and supports the farmers and small businesses producing the food we all enjoy.

And that's really what Delivered Fresh is all about.

We want to make buying local easier — even when life is busy.

You don't have to drive to five different farms, markets, or stores. We bring products from dozens of local farmers and small businesses together in one place and deliver them right to your community.

So as we settle into September, new routines, cooler weather, and the beginning of fall, take a look around the store and stock up on a few things that might make your week just a little easier.

Thank you, as always, for shopping local and supporting the incredible farms and small businesses that make Delivered Fresh possible.

Happy September!

These sound delicious!

Zucchini Meatball Boat

📢 Full disclosure: one kid said “that does not look good.” . . . but then proceeded to eat all the meatballs out of his zucchini.

Make your meatballs first - see recipe link below - or use frozen ones (homemade or store bought). We used leftover meatballs from the night before.

Cut one large zucchini or two medium zucchini in half and scoop out seeds. Place inside facing down on a greased baking pan (one with edges). Pour a little water on the tray- around 1/8 cup, I didn’t measure. Bake at 400* for 10 minutes. Remove from oven - be careful not to spill or splash the water if there is any left!!- test softness with a fork. It should be tender but doesn’t need to be cooked completely. If it’s still firm, bake for 5-10 more minutes. Bake time depends on the size and thickness of the zucchini.

Once zucchini is baked, flip so the inside is facing up. Place cooked meatballs in the hollowed groove. Pour favorite marinara or spaghetti sauce on top. Lower the oven temperature to 350* and bake for 15 minutes. They’ll be done when the meatballs are heated through and/or a fork can be easily inserted into the zucchini. Optional: top with mozzarella cheese and bake for 5 more minutes or until cheese is melted.

✨ Meatballs can be made with ground bison, ground beef, or a combination of beef or bison and ground sausage.

Here is your reminder to make your honey garlic for winter. It's great for kicking a cold and for boosting your immune system so you don't get sick in the first place. You need to leave it sit so get it started now.

-Peeled garlic, dice or punctured
-honey

Cover garlic with honey in a jar. Leave sit for about 6 weeks. Mix it every few days and leave the lid loose so as the garlic begins to ferment it can burp. You can open the jar every few days it helps to release any build up of pressure.

After 6 weeks Take 1 spoon full to boost your immune system. Or take 1 spoon full 3-4 times a day when you are sick.

Back to School and Easy Meals!
As we started back to school this week, I realized just how much preparation goes into getting everything ready for a new school year. There are lessons to plan, supplies to organize, schedules to figure out, and what feels like a hundred other little things.

But one thing I didn’t put nearly as much thought into was meals!

I’m sure many of you, like me, are always looking for healthy, easy foods to send to school with your kids or have ready when everyone is hungry. My kids aren’t leaving the house for school, but even with homeschooling, it is so helpful to have things I can grab quickly or easily put together for breakfast, lunch, or a snack without taking too much time away from our day.

And thankfully, we are pretty lucky to have Delivered Fresh!

One of the things I love most about Delivered Fresh is that it takes so much of the guesswork out of finding quality products for our family. I already know where the food is coming from, who made or raised it, and that we are supporting some pretty amazing local farms and small businesses at the same time.

Here are a few of our favorite quick breakfast, lunch, and snack options:

-Yogurt from Painterland Sister's topped with Granola from Old Barn Market (the granola is great by its self as well)
-Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola Bars from Windstone Landing Farm
-Chocolate Chip Muffins from Windstone Landing Farm
-Lemon Garlic Hummus from Windstone Landing Farm
-Pulled Poultry from Windstone Landing Farm
-Frozen Hashbrowns from Windstone Landing Farm
-Bison Snack Sticks from Bx3
-Zucchini Fritters from The Winterberry Farm
-Water Kefir and Kombucha from Keystone Cultures
-Breakfast Finger Link Sausages from Threadbare
-Take-and-Bake Pizza from Growen
-Love Ramen from Soupapotamus
-Garlic & Herb Sourdough Bread from Mama Goose
-Brownie (mix) from Old Barn Market
-Ginger Molasses Cookies (dough) from Old Barn Market
-Cashews, Peanuts, and Peanut Butter from Barnstead Pantry
-Fresh Celery, Carrots, and Cherry Tomatoes from Danville Farmers
-Sliced Deli Ham from Finger Lakes Cider House
-Smoked Organic Cheddar Cheese from Engelbert Farms
-Organic Raisins from UNFI

Having a few things like these in the fridge, freezer, or pantry makes those busy days so much easier. Sometimes lunch doesn’t need to be complicated — it just needs to be something everyone will eat!

We had a great start to our school year this week. The kids did really well, and I think they may have even had a little fun along the way. I hope they continue to find that excitement in learning as the year goes on.

And to all of the families getting back into the school-year routine — whether your kids are heading out the door each morning or learning around the kitchen table — I hope you have a wonderful school year!

Happy Back to School from all of us at Delivered Fresh!
