Menu for Rillito Park Farmers Market 5/15 8 am - Noon

 

Dear Green Heart Friends,

Well.  Easter and Mother's Day are behind us, and suddenly, it feels like summer is upon us.  Triple digits are predicted for Sunday.  You may want to pick up your order early.  OR:  Leila has suggested that we offer delivery (for a fee) as we did for the holidays last year; let me know if that interests you, and Leila will be in touch (send your phone number as she sends text messages).  I chose dishes for the menu this week that are delicious eaten hot or cold or room temp.  (The Borscht is to be eaten cold.)

Forbidden Rice Bowl

Also a heads-up:  I plan to put the weekly menu "on hiatus" during July & August.  Although I will go to Northern California briefly in July to rendezvous with my family there (haven't seen them since 2019), I will be here.  Leila will be assisting me in getting caught up on everything I ignore on a regular basis :-).  I will still make special order birthday cakes, and special orders in general.  You may wish to place an order for dishes that freeze well (the lasagna or the kale potato enchilada casserole come to mind) as many of you did in 2020 when Ted and I went to Pagosa Springs for July... and then moved in August from Linden St to the Sabino Canyon rental.  Leila and I will still supply Midtown Vegan Deli with (primarily) cookies and cakes; as they are making their own savory items now, we stick with the healthy sweets.

In the meantime, let me know what you'd like to see on the menu between now and July -- and we will probably make it!

Thank you in advance for your order - it is appreciated, as we have had "regulars" out of town.  Please try to have your order in by Thursday night.

In health,

Alaine

Mother's Day May 8th

 

Dear Green Heart Friends,

I swiped this picture off the internet; it's called Spring Barley Soup.  The original recipe isn't vegan; Ted will change it, anyway ;-).  There will be barley, and fresh peas, and asparagus - this much we know.  He'll season it with his fresh garden herbs (the herb part of the garden is booming right now), and fresh greens may be added as well.

Yay!  James will continue to cook with us on Saturdays, so all is well in the kitchen :-)

I have chosen a Veggie Tart entree that was originally inspired by a Martha Stewart recipe in 2007 that I made for the Mother's Day brunch enjoyed by my parents, sister, nieces et al that year -- now updated and improved, and with vegan hollandaise on the side that you can heat up.

And a "meal salad" that is nutritionally loaded:  sprouted lentils + 2 colors of cabbage, so very crunchy, too!

Small Mother's Day cakes in a choice of 3 flavors:  Lemon Berry, Carrot, Chocolate.  All organic:

I hope/plan to have some cupcakes with a fresh flower on them, too, for us and for Midtown Vegan Deli even though you won't see them on the menu.

*My mom's in Heaven now; yours may be as well. The cake can be ordered w/o writing if you prefer, with or without the flowers.  Just specify, please.

Thank you, in advance, as always for your order.  Please try to have your order in by Thursday night.

Warmly, and in health,

Alaine

Sunday 5/1 May Day Farmers Market

 

Dear Green Heart Friends,

It just keeps getting earlier, earlier!  I plan to arise at 3 am this Sunday in a (new) attempt at making the Reubens, loading up, and getting to Rillito in time to get ALL SET UP before 8, when the first customers arrive. Let's see how I do!

Zoe has resigned, so Leila will assist some Sundays, and possibly James, who will also assist in the kitchen this Saturday.  I know James (and his wife) from the market; he responded to my Kitchen Angel Wanted post on Facebook. Thank goodness!

Prices. Sticker shock. I see them, and get it.  Leila and I intend to do some "costings" when we get a chance. (I'm sure you're experiencing it, too.)  Our prices are creeping up, too, as I know you've noticed.  Ugh.  That's it.  I just felt I should acknowledge the situation, period.

We delivered a little less to Midtown Vegan Deli the past 2 weeks, focusing on the weekends (Easter, and Earth Day) -- now looks like there is someone there (Noel) who is avidly watching and promoting our baked goods so that we can find out what has sold, or not.  And so, we're back at it, having already sent a big order this morning, and another planned for the weekend.

And special cakes!

This was a simple wedding cake that went to Vivace for a young couple from Louisville, KY, who came to Tucson for the weekend, and got married.  Organic chocolate cake, filled and frosted with our silken tofu chocolate frosting, then on top of that - a fluffy vegan buttercream.  She wanted Apricot Mallow wildflowers on the cake, and fortunately, we have some growing on our property :-)

This was a last-minute Tofu Uncheesecake for a birthday party at Zeman's, also Saturday night.  This is topped with organic berries and glazed in apricot preserves.

For tonight, I have a large Lemon Raspberry cake covered in gold.  Photo to come later......

Thank you in advance, as always, for your order - and please try to have it in by Thursday night.

In health,

Alaine

Easter Sunday at Rillito Park Farmers Market 8 am - Noon

 

Dear Green Heart Friends,

This week Ted will make his pizza instead of a soup; we have frozen soups to choose from.  This pizza will be lighter than his Bean Pizza as it will have our house made sausage with zucchini, mushrooms, and a tomato sauce with herbs.

I will make two types of quiche:  a soy-free organic tomato & caramelized onion w/fresh dill, and the Sun-dried Tomato Asparagus.

For Easter-themed desserts, I mail ordered vegan jelly beans.  They have none of the common allergens, nor artificial colors, so they are somewhat muted, but still "pastels". This is an old photo, with more vibrant colors. You can also see the Easter Bunny Cake.  Instead of the Lemon Berry Cake, I will make Blackberry Lavender.  btw, that's tinted coconut shreds filling in as "grass" :-)

Please remember there will be no menu next week for Sunday 4/24.  We will return to Rillito on May Day (5/1).  We have several special order cakes to make during that week, and hope to ride our horses again before it gets hot.  We've been swamped w/o Cathy's help on Saturdays, supplying Midtown Market, & special orders (always last-minute, creating a "baking emergency" ;-).

Thank you, as always, in advance for your order.

Warmly,

Alaine
