for His Temple Family Foods Now Offering Exciting Options for 2019
T
HIS MONTH MARKS FOUR YEARS THAT FOR HIS Temple Family Foods has been serving the community with their gluten free, dairy free “real” food. What started out as take-home meals only has expanded into daily lunch offerings, baked goods, casseroles to order, Meal RX options and more. And while the new year can often lead to diets, owner Dana Milford sees her food as a lifestyle. She is truly committed to offering nourishing and healthy foods for the community. She and her crew, which includes her daughter Hannah and daughter-in-law Katelyn, prepare and serve 100% gluten free and dairy free foods with primarily organic ingredients and only use pastured meats. They have a passion for supporting local farms and food artisans that “do it right” by raising, growing and creating the best food for both bodies and taste buds. They are proud to work with local farmers and are excited about showcasing their vegetables, meats and more. In fact, Dana has a special Farm to Table dinner planned for Saturday, February 16. This special event is by reservation only with limited seating. “This is our way of showcasing our local farmers, being able to enjoy local food from local people and breaking bread with one another, gluten free bread, of course,” says Dana. This dinner has a south Louisiana theme and will feature grits and grillades, greens, bread pudding and more. Local farmers include Brown Family Blueberry Farm and Ridgetop Farms in West Monroe, TNT Plantery in Monroe, Edible Zen in Farmerville, Mahaffey Farms in Haughton, Inglewood in Alexandria and Delta Blues Rice from Mississippi. The dining room will be transformed with design and décor from Heather Land and guests can bring a wine to enjoy with their meal. There is a maximum of 24 people, so reserve your spot today! You can find more information on Facebook or call 791-5956. Dana plans on having these types of dinners throughout 2019, so stay tuned! Another exciting option for His Temple offers is their Meal Rx. Each week, Dana posts the menu for the following week, and you can choose from 4, 8 or 12 meals that can be picked up the following week. Meals are available as single dishes or a main dish with sides and are perfect for people on-the-go, a family that recently had a baby or someone recovering from an illness. “The name comes from the fact that I truly believe food is medicine and can heal the body!” says Dana. You can visit for His temple Monday through Friday and grab lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. There is also a small market, where you can find ingredients, gluten free bread, snacks, condiments, sauces and more. In the freezer section, you can grab take out dishes and casseroles, too!
