Letter from Our

President/ CEO Dear friends, As the holidays near, all of us at Nugget Markets hope you and yours are staying healthy and safe. Whether you’re celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, the solstice or any other occasion, there’s no doubt we could all use a little holiday cheer.

2020 has been a trying year in so many ways, yet we continue to rally through it together, finding—and often fighting for— the silver lining through every new challenge.

Now more than ever, we’re craving the ability to rekindle joy with those we love. Although it’s likely we will be celebrating the holiday season in a very different way and in much smaller groups, our teams have been working hard to create new, innovative and delicious options for your holiday celebrations. I encourage you to explore our new Holiday Meal for Two (p. 14) and the additional safety measures we’re taking to ensure the safest and most enjoyable foods possible (p. 4).

Along with the hard work our teams have been putting into make your holidays special, our community giving team has also been working hard to ensure we’re doing our part to support those who need it 2 • T H E F I E L D G U I D E • H O L I D AY 2020

most. Earlier this year, Nugget Markets contributed more than $100,000 to local food banks and disaster relief funds, and hosted a $25,000 matching fund drive for wildfire relief. We also donated $100,000 to nonprofit organizations devoted to social justice that were selected by our associates. And, as is our company tradition, we’re continuing to support food banks in our neighborhoods to ensure hungry families and individuals in our communities are taken care of during the holidays.

holiday season with family and close friends over a delicious meal or two (and perhaps some video calls, as well). If we all do our part to keep ourselves and one another healthy and safe, and support those in need now and in the future, we believe our communities can grow even stronger and our world will be a better place.

There’s no question this year has been a hard one, but we’re still hoping to end it on a high note.

Despite all that is happening in the world, we hope you will be able to take time to enjoy the

Sincerely, The Stille Family Eric, Kate, Stephanie, Riley and Mackie

From our family to yours, we wish you and your loved ones the best of health and a wonderful holiday season.

What kinds of ingredients do you use?

Better ingredients make better food.

What food safety precautions are you taking?

Food safety has always been a priority for us, and we take that dedication seriously now more than ever. You can take comfort in knowing our kitchen associates are meticulous about wearing both masks and gloves, washing their hands between every task and sanitizing their work stations throughout the day.

Tradition.

TRADITIONAL HOLIDAY MEAL 6 • T H E F I E L D G U I D E • H O L I D AY 2020

‘Twas the hour before dinner and all through the house, Not a pot needed stirring, not even a sauce.

The family had ordered their holiday meal So they could eat all their favorites with gusto and zeal.

Whether turkey or ham, the start is the meat, Already cooked so you just have to heat.

The green beans were nestled all snug in their bowls; Choose casserole or almondine for #FoodGoals.

The stuffings are made in our kitchens with care— Whether classic and cornbread, you won’t want to share.

Mashed potatoes and gravy brought joy to their lot With a dozen fresh rolls to soak it up hot.

H O L I D AY 2020 • T H E F I E L D G U I D E • 7

From potatoes so sweet to yams and much more, It’s all made by chefs like those on page 4.

To end on a tart note, last but not least, Their choice of cranberries finished the feast.

On plates and in bowls, in boats and on platters, The food was so good it left no room for chatter.

After seconds and thirds, there wasn’t a scrap, So they all settled in for a long winter’s nap.

But as the table was cleared, we heard one assert, “It was all so delicious!

And now for dessert!”

Food Styling Tips FROM OUR PROS

Instead of serving your food in the containers they came in, transfer to your own dishes to complete the elegant eating experience. Break out the fine china, light the candles and use these simple styling tricks from our own talented team to make your holiday meal as gorgeous as can be.

Herbed Carrots: Plate in a shallow bowl or plate, then use tongs to place in the same or alternating directions.

Rolls: Place a cloth napkin or dish towel in the bowl or basket before the bread.

Bonus: If the rolls are heated, you can close the cloth to keep them warm.

Mashed Potatoes: Spoon into a bowl and use the back of a spoon to swirl the top to desired texture.

For extra flair, add chopped chives or parsley and a pat of butter.

Sauces & Gravy: Pour into a gravy boat or attractive bowl with a spoon.

Which Dish? You can’t go wrong with classic white!

Use colors and shapes to create variety that will make the food pop, and choose platters that will make the food look bountiful without having to force too much onto a small platter.

Meat: For best results, let meat rest for 10 minutes after heating. Cut across the grain to create ½–¾-inch slices.

Slice completely on a cutting board, then slide your knife underneath and lift onto the platter in one or two sections. Spread slices out in a layered effect, or au cheval (shingled), then embellish as desired with some of the accompanying sides or fresh herbs.

One-Plate Wonder: Choose a proportional amount of each food, and keep each item in its separate area. Top with sauce or gravy when you’re ready to shoot, then use a damp paper towel or dish cloth to wipe up any drips. Shoot from above to show the whole plate. Don’t forget to tag #nuggetmarkets!

A Few Extra Pro Tips: • Always have a bit of greenery like fresh herbs on hand to finish the look. When it comes to garnishes, think about colors and textures to create diversity.

• Style the least time-sensitive foods (likes carrots or Brussels sprouts) first and the most time-sensitive foods (like gravy) last.

• Have fun with it and remember that it’s also okay to just sit down and enjoy the meal!

Pretty Produce

For even more fun with plants, try adding a little flair to your floral arrangement with fresh seasonal fruits! Use these pro tips to craft a variety of stunning centerpieces for your holiday table and other décor.

1 8 • T H E F I E L D G U I D E • H O L I D AY 2020

Mixed Tape: Flex your flower power by taping off the top of your vase in a grid pattern, then placing stems in the outer holes followed by the center, and finally working around the vase to fill in any empty spots.

Pro Tip: Hold a stem upside down when cutting so you know just how tall it will be in the vase!

The Lowdown: To make a low-profile arrangement you can see over at the dinner table, try using a long, narrow container and decorating with seasonal produce on kitchen skewers cut to your preferred height.

Seeing Double: Using one vase inside a larger vase gives the illusion that it is full of seasonal produce, yet dry. Fresh cranberries and crabapples are great for a festive display.

Float On: Once your arrangement is done, drop seasonal produce such as grapes, cranberries and orange wheels along the side of the vase to create layers of color.

Pro Tip: Poke dried cloves into fresh oranges or glue dried star anise onto the outside for a lovely and aromatic touch.
