Week of June 23, 2014 - Weekly Meal Ideas


Just in case you are anxiously awaiting – the new Get REAL Wichita meal ideas!   Of course, these meal ideas are designed to help take advantage of fresh, in-season produce from local farmers and producers!  We have included a super-tasty Farmer’s Market Pizza plus more delicious meals including tomatoes, cucumbers, sugar snap peas, zucchini, carrots, leeks and kale!  The shining star this week is the Sriracha Kale Salad – it is so good, and maybe a little bit addicting!  I took it to a get-together with friends and one friend told me the next day “still thinking about that kale salad!”  She can’t wait for the meal ideas today so she can enjoy it again!

We have some great quick and easy ideas this week too – the Greek Chicken Flatbread and the Southwest Sweet Potato Lettuce Wraps are both perfect for summer!  If you are in the mood to fire up the grill, the Steak Panini and the Grilled Leeks with Basil should hit the spot!

Next week we will have delicious meal ideas to help you celebrate the Fourth of July!

Thank you Beyond Napa — here are the wine pairings for the meal ideas for this week:

Greek Chicken Flatbread:  Donna Laura Ali Sangiovese from Italy

Farmer’s Market Pizza:  Bread & Butter Pinot Noir from Napa Valley, California

Steak Panini:  Legado Conde Albarino from Spain

Southwest Sweet Potato Lettuce Wraps:  Deadbolt White Blend from California

Sriracha Kale Salad:  Gruet Blanc De Noir from New Mexico


THE REAL DEALS!

We are very excited to announce we have two new farmers added to our family of Get REAL Wichita partners:  Natural to the Corr and Meadowlark Farm!  These new partners are helping us cover multiple farmer’s markets around the city!  Natural to the Corr will be at the Kansas Grown Farmer’s Market (tomatoes now and amazing melons soon!) and Meadowlark Farm will be at the Green Acres Farmer’s Market on Tuesday afternoons and the Lincoln Heights Farmer’s Market on Wednesday mornings!  Plus you can visit Meadowlark Farm just east of Wichita and pick your own peaches in July!  Of course, we will provide some great meal ideas for those fresh-picked peaches!

Don’t forget — several of our farmer’s market partners are continuing their “Spend $5 and get $1 Off” offer through June!

  • Spread the love with kale!  Leland Farms, Elm Lane Farm and Kan-Grow should all have kale you can use for the Sriracha Kale Salad and the Farmer’s Market Pizza!  Plus Elm Lane Farm will have greens that will work great for the Southwest Sweet Potato Lettuce Wraps!  And, get there early to pick up some carrots from Leland Farms for the Farmer’s Market Pizza!
  • We have several meal ideas with tomatoes — pick up some fresh, juicy ones from Natural to the Corr and Southwest Corner Farm for the Mexican Style Zucchini, Farmer’s Market Pizza and Greek Chicken Flatbread!
  • Phil’s Farm will have chicken for the Greek Chicken Flatbread – plus he will have fresh bacon for those perfect summer BLT sandwiches!

You can also take advantage of your Get REAL Wichita June Special coupon with Graze the Prairie and pick up some steak for the Steak Panini!

We are so grateful for all of our Get REAL Wichita partners and hope you have a chance to take advantage of their great deals!  Is there another local merchant you would like to see added to our list of partners?  Please let us know!
