I've partnered with Gorton's Seafood to feature their new Natural Catch Grilled Salmon, which is 100% sustainably wild-caught, char-grilled, and free of any artificial and GMO ingredients. It doesn't take too long to cook, so it's perfect for weekday dinners, meal prep, or really, any occasion!
I paired it with this adorable pumpkin-shaped pasta that I found at Marshalls (serious fall vibes) just in time for World Pasta Day! I definitely will take any excuse to eat more pasta!

This weekend, I tried FreshZen Foods' products for the first time! They are based in Boston and they make the only plant-based Asian pesto on the market. I love supporting local businesses, so I was stoked to give their products a try, but I was a little confused by the "Asian pesto" name. Essentially, just like pesto, their sauces are almost like a thin paste and can be used on their own, in marinades, etc., but it doesn't have the typical ingredients of pesto- hence, the Asian flair with ginger, scallion, and garlic. The ginger scallion sauce (although I never thought of it as pesto) is actually a sauce I grew up with; it's found commonly in Cantonese cooking and served with steamed fish or roasted meats, but Cantonese cooking also just uses ginger and scallions often in dishes, so this sauce is super versatile for Asian cooking!
The Ginger Scallion sauce is perfect to cut down on prep/chopping time (say if you don't want to chop up all that ginger or scallions yourself), easy to use, and great to keep on hand for quick recipes! FreshZen is actually expanding to being sold at Whole Foods (check them out in Beverly, MA!) and they also hold cooking classes at the Kitchen at Boston Public Market! |
