We are all looking forward to the upcoming long weekend but not many of us are thinking about the week after the holiday. Fast forward to when May Long Weekend has ended and you have arrived home from camping to an empty fridge. Luckily, you placed your grocery order with Cultivatr and your groceries will arrive and you won't have to rush Tuesday morning to do your shopping (phew!).

We have some amazing quick meals that take the fuss out of cooking but deliver in flavor! 

These quick dishes won’t take long and are extremely simple but with a couple of “chefy” tricks and quality local ingredients, we can take those basic meals and kick them up a notch.

Not So Basic Red Sauce and Pasta

Take your choice of Soffritto fresh pasta, a jar of De Minico’s Tomato Basil Marinara and kick it up by sautéing Salt Craft Meat Co’s guanciale till crispy. Add a couple of crushed cloves of garlic and simmer. Garnish with Vincenzo’s ParmX Grated Parmesan and freshly torn Rafferty Farm’s Heirloom Basil. Drizzle with Nefiss Lezizz Devine Extra Virgin Olive Oil and cracked black pepper.

Red Miso Bacon Fried Rice

Grab a pack of Grainworks Organic Basmati rice and cook according to package directions and allow to cool. Sauté sliced Respect The Technique Red Miso bacon with ginger and garlic. Add frozen peas (optional) and add rice back in and saute. Bake The Go Tu  Traditional Pork Spring Rolls. Plate it up and add Cultured Shock Kimchi and drizzle the rice with The Go Tu  Sweet Hoisin sauce.
