Teriyaki pork tenderloin w/ roasted red grapes
2 Portions = 1 lb tenderloin | 4 Portions = 2 lbs tenderloin | 6 Portion | = 3 lbs tenderloin | 4 lbs tenderloin
Best warm. Cover Pyrex w/ foil and cook in a preheated 350-degree oven for 10 minutes. Serve the pork with the grapes alongside. You can also slice the pork and give it a quick sear in a hot skillet with a splash of olive oil.
Here, roasted grapes give a fresh twist to the classic fruit-and-pork pairing. Roasting deepens and concentrates the grapes' flavor yet keeps them plump and juicy, providing a healthfully sweet accompaniment to the teriyaki-marinated pork. Try it for dinner with a side of ginger braised butternut squash and Brussels sprouts. Take leftovers for lunch with the brown rice-carrot bowl or kale apple salad.
Grilled teriyaki chicken breasts
2 portions = 2 breasts | 4 portions = 4 breasts | 6 portions = 6 breasts | 8 portions = 8 breasts
Hot, cold, or room temp. Cover Pyrex w/foil and cook in a preheated 350-degree oven for 5-10 minutes to reheat. You can also slice or dice the chicken and give it a quick pan-fry in a hot skillet with a splash of olive oil.
This teriyaki chicken is easy to prepare and addictive to eat. Teriyaki is derived from the Japanese root words teri, to shine, and yaki, to broil or grill. That's the way traditional teriyaki looks: shiny and incised with grill marks. Try it for dinner with the kale salad and gingered butternut squash. Take leftovers for lunch with the Brussels sprouts and carrot brown rice bowl.
Hot honey shrimp w/ginger, lime, jalapeno, chives & Kewpee Japanese mayo for dipping
2 Portions = ½ lb shrimp | 4 Portions = 1 lb shrimp | 6 Portions = 1½ lbs shrimp | 8 Portions = 2 lbs shrimp
Best warm. Give the shrimp a quick blast in the microwave to reheat. Sprinkle generously with fresh lime juice and toss with jalapenos and chives. Serve with mayonnaise if you like.
Chile powder adds sting, honey lends sweetness, and butter gives a creamy richness to these succulent roasted shrimp. Even better, the dish comes together in minutes, making it an ideal after-work meal or extremely speedy appetizer. Try them for dinner with Brussels sprouts and carrot rice bowls. Serve leftovers with the butternut squash or kale salad for lunch.
Black pepper tofu and asparagus
2 portions = 2 servings | 4 portions = 4 servings | 6 portions = 6 servings | 8 portions = 8 servings
Best warm. You can nuke the tofu in the microwave for 30-60 seconds or give it a quick stir-fry in a hot skillet with a splash of oil.
When bloomed in oil, coarsely ground peppercorns become piquant and fragrant enough to flavor the entire sauce; no red pepper flakes, dried chiles, or hot sauce is needed. It's nicely balanced with tamari, rice vinegar, ginger, olive oil, and a pinch of sugar. Try it for dinner with the brown rice carrot bowl. Serve leftovers for lunch with ginger braised squash or Brussels sprouts.

Notes: This food is carefully cooked and packaged in a facility that uses nuts, wheat, and soy. * Pyrex can be put in a pre-heated oven up to 400 degrees. Do not put under the broiler. Place on soft hot pads or silicone once you remove it from the oven. Never put Pyrex on a hot burner. It will explode. Plastic lids cannot go in the oven. * Pyrex is also freezer safe but make sure to unthaw and bring the dish to room temp before popping it in the oven. Extreme temperature changes can cause it to crack. * Salad dressings that have congealed in the refrigerator can be nuked for 5-10 seconds to liquefy.* Most dishes are better if you cover them with saran wrap before microwaving. It prevents them from drying out. * Salad dressings, and most soups, benefit from a good stir or shake before serving. * Eat seafood within the first few days of delivery for optimum freshness * You can freeze wide-mouth Ball jars as long as there is 1″ of headspace at the top of the jar. Unthaw gradually in the refrigerator. * Please wash your empty dishes before loading them into the cooler. Stack rectangular dishes together and round dishes together when possible. Put lids ON dishes to prevent chipping. Place defrosted ice packs on the bottom .* Thank you! jennifer@littlepinkkitchen.com 303-725-3836.
