We partnered with @samdoesherbest all month long and this is episode 4 HABIT STACKING SERIES with @freshdirect. This week’s habit is all about lunch prep, because sam is a busy mom, and she simply does not have time for those wild, intricate lunch boxes she sees all over the internet, but she DOES want her son’s lunch to be healthy, fun, and exciting enough that he actually eats it. so here are her tricks: • repurpose the SAME groceries all week! same fruits, veggies, deli meats, and snacks, just presented differently each day. • turkey and cheese sandwiches cut two different ways (shape = excitement, apparently!). • mix it up with a wrap one day, skewers another, and a quesadilla to round out the week. • crinkle cut the carrots and cucumbers - NO extra effort, way more likely to actually get eaten. 🥕 #habitstacking #freshdirect #schoollunches #kidlunches more info here: https://www.freshdirect.com/feed/samdoesherbest

We partnered with @Mei for this wonderful back to routine partnership! Shrimp and corn wontons with ingredients from @freshdirect 1 pound tail-off white shrimp, finely chopped 3/4 cup sweet corn kernels, from 1 ear 4 scallions, thinly sliced 1 tablespoon corn starch 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper 1 (14 oz) package wonton wrappers 1 quart FreshDirect vegetable stock 1 inch ginger, peeled and sliced 2 cups chopped bok choy or other leafy vegetables 1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, corn, scallions, corn starch, kosher salt, and white pepper. Mix thoroughly for 3 minutes, until the wonton filling is sticky and cohesive. 2. Line a quarter sheet pan with parchment and prepare a small bowl with a few tablespoons of water. Working with one wonton wrapper at a time, place a tablespoon of filling in the center. Dip your finger in the water (this will be your glue) and dampen the edges of the wonton wrapper. Fold the wonton wrapper in half into a rectangle and pinch to seal the filling inside. Bring the two corners closest to the filling together, dab a bit of water, and pinch to seal. Set the wonton on the lined sheet pan and repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. The wontons can be frozen on the tray for 2 hours then transferred to a zip top bag in the freezer for up to 6 months. 3. In a medium saucepan, combine the vegetable stock and ginger. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Use a slotted spoon to discard the ginger. Add the wontons and cook until they float and are opaque in the center, about 3 minutes

SWEET CORN PIÑA COLADA 🍹Inspired by Brazilian batida de milho and a classic piña colada, this creamy tropical drink turns summer corn into dessert by ‪@Rachel Gurjar Makes 2 quarts 🌽🌽 Ingredients: 4 corn ears, plus more for corn ribs (optional) 1 cup fresh lime juice 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks, plus more for garnish 1 (14 oz) can condensed milk 1 (13.5 oz) can coconut milk 1 tsp fine sea salt Pinch of turmeric (optional) Lime wedges, for garnish Charred corn, for garnish Pineapple slices, for garnish Rum or tequila, to make it alcoholic Method: Remove the husks and silk from the corn, reserving the husks. Simmer the corn in water with a pinch of turmeric, if using, until tender and bright yellow, about 10 minutes. When cool enough to handle, cut the kernels from the cobs and set aside. Return the husks to the cooking water and let steep for 10 minutes to infuse the water with more corn flavor. Strain and reserve 1½ cups of corn-infused water. Add the corn kernels, pineapple, condensed milk, coconut milk, lime juice, salt, and reserved corn water to a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer, pressing gently to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids. You'll be left with a luscious, creamy, golden liquid. Add ice to a pitcher and pour in the colada. Serve immediately, topped with charred corn or fresh pineapple. For an alcoholic version, stir in rum or tequila. Serve with a charred corn garnish that doubles as a snack. #corn #cornseason #cornmaxxing #seasonal
