Check out this Meatless Monday option: Roasted vegetables over a creamy whipped tofu sauce!

We used chickpeas, broccoli and potatoes, but you can easily swap them out for whatever you find fresh locally. The whipped tofu even has cashews in it. Altogether a protein packed healthy meal to start your week right.

When we saw Emily’s Produce had rhubarb, we knew pie was in our future. Strawberries from Wright’s Market sealed the deal.🍓🍓🍓

Have you visited Papayo Market in Salisbury, MD? This market is a treasure trove of Caribbean and Latin flavors and contains specialty produce and pantry staples. They have quite the selection of sardines, which are having a moment. We like to buy the sardines packed in olive oil, drain, and toast them in a pan with mildly spicy pepper (such as poblano or Serrano). Add in a few grape tomatoes and place atop multigrain toast. Squeeze some fresh lime and dust with fresh parmesan . This quick and tasty meal is rich in brain health supporting omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D! 🐟🐟🐟
