Making the Season Bright
A
s the holidays roll around this year, being able to gather with loved ones again will be a bright spot of the season. While get-togethers might still be smaller than usual, food is always an important part of the party, whatever its size. We know you have your tried-and-true holiday recipes, and we’re here for you with all you need to prepare those, but it’s also fun to try something new—and it just might be a dish that ends up being the talk of the table. With twists in our holiday dinner feature such as Citrus-Garlic Marinated Pork Roast, which gives a nod to tropical cuisine, or Brown Sugar Butter Tarts, a favorite treat of our Canadian neighbors, you can either choose to serve one or two new recipes alongside your family favorites or prepare an entirely different menu for a whole new take this holiday season. These recipes would also make great dinner options anytime throughout the months ahead (page 20). Harness the power of plants. We know we should eat more veggies, and we’ll show you that with just a little tweak you can change the percentage of plants per bite in many favorite meals—and your family will love the food (page 28). Tamira Franz, Director of Health & Wellness at Mollie Stone’s, helps you celebrate the holidays with everyone’s dietary concerns in mind. Check out her recommendations for a range of products including gluten-free, dairy-free, egg replacements and more (page 12). Could you use some help in the kitchen? Let the talented chefs at Mollie Stone’s Markets make life a little bit eas-
ier! Our chefs create delicious foods with the highest quality ingredients for celebrations and holidays, meetings, a food gift to share, or just because. The catering options are great for large quantities, or if you’re looking for dinner tonight, try our Family Meals. You can checkout online for in-store pickup at all nine store locations. Plus, Patricia Jordan, Director of Deli, Bakery and Cheese, offers party planning tips and highlights the great options of our Catering Online Order Guide to help you entertain deliciously (page 10). Trust us to have a wonderful selection for your main course, whether you prefer juicy beef, turkey or savory ham. In his column on page 14, Michael Tomasello, Director of Meat, Poultry and Seafood, walks you through our choices plus shares 10 ways to enjoy leftover holiday turkey. Comfort foods may play a prominent role in menus this time of year, but citrus fruit is at its sweetest, juiciest peak in the cold winter months. Brian Carter, Director of Produce, has put together a guide to help you learn more and make the most of prime citrus season (page 13). Mark Thrift, Director of Wine, Spirits and Beer, shares some of his favorite recommendations for robust red and rich white wines that pair well with the cooler weather and holiday meals (page 16). I would again like to take this opportunity to thank our hardworking staff for all that they do to help us continue in our goal of making a difference in people’s lives through food. And, thank you for choosing to shop with us. We appreciate being a part of your holiday table. Wishing you happy, healthy holidays and a new year ahead.
