another week bites the dust

so seriously, can barely believe it's friday again - late friday night at that.

just arrived home from catering a wedding rehearsal dinner and am now putting the finishing touches on my prep to get ready for another weekend at the seaport market.

this week there are two new main courses.

the first is a new batch of smokey mac & cheese. there's smoked gouda, double smoked bacon, chipotle, oven-dried tomatoes, poblano peppers & corn with a panko crust.

small $9 large $18

then there's spinach & artichoke strata. a strata is a savoury breading pudding and this version is made with homemade bread, garlic, sundried tomatoes, basil, oregano, eggs, cream, artichokes, spinach & asiago cheese. i only made larges & they're packaged in 9-inch pie rounds and are large enough to serve 4-6 people.

large $15

there's also a fresh batch of beet, parsnip & pear soup. it's vegan & gluten-free with fresh herbs and a splash of cider vinegar. like all of the soups it's $7 for a 500ml container. the soup selection is quite extensive now that we're coming in to fall so be sure to check out the list on my freezer door at the market.

chipotle lime bbq sauce will also be back on my table this week. i've downsized to just the maple bourbon & chipotle lime flavours and will be sticking will those for the time being. small jars (250ml) are $5 and large jars (500ml) are $7.50.

there are three salads this week.

the broccoli remains unchanged with bacon, peppers, red onion, sunflower seeds & almonds.

the root veg salad is the same as last week:

there's red & green cabbage, carrots, parsnips, celery root, fennel, red onion, dill, parsley & a whole grain mustard dressing. it's vegan, gluten-free & my favourite thing on the menu at the moment (aside from chocolate frosting of course!).

then there's a new take on the quinoa salad this week. it has baked sweet potatoes, cherry tomatoes, roasted red peppers, green onions, lemon, cilantro, pumpkin seeds & a bit of spice.

all salads are $5 for a 500ml serving.

the sweets are pretty much the usual. banana cupcakes & lemon tarts are back this week.

i just need to go make two more batches of frosting & i'm done!!!

in addition to what i mentioned tonight, there is a ton of selection in the freezers right now... even more than fits on my blackboard at the market. fingers crossed that tomorrow is the start of another busy weekend. see you in the morning :)
