According to the package, you can get about five meals per pouch—more if you’re a single person and you use just a dash at a time! And speaking of the package, it’s in a plastic squeeze pouch, which, according to their website, has a smaller carbon footprint than glass or plastic bottles.Available at Willy North.

  • Red Pepper Romesco—Roasted sweet Piquillo peppers and Calabrian chilis gives this sauce a bright red-orange color and peppery zest, without being very spicy-hot. One of the serving ideas on the back of the package was to toss with pasta, so I grabbed the best pasta there is—some fresh, locally-made egg campanelli from RP’s Pasta Company. I prepared the pasta according to the directions on the package, then tossed it with around two teaspoons of this sauce. I added in some steamed zucchini on the side, because, let’s face it—we’re swimming in zucchini right now—and topped it with some shredded asiago cheese. It was a tasty summery pasta dish. You can also use this sauce on sandwiches and as a marinade.
  • Chimichurri—A fresh take on the zesty South American herb sauce, starring parsley and oregano, with capers and chili flakes.
  • Gingery Miso—A smooth, salty-sweet sauce. Starring ginger, white miso, rice vinegar and a dash of toasted sesame oil.

A box of Purple Carrot plant based sweet corn elote bowl

Purple Carrot Sweet Corn Elote Bowl 

I’m a big fan of elote aka “street corn.” That’s why I had to try this one when I saw it in the freezer at Willy North. It’s a bit of a variation on the traditional—first of all, it’s vegan. So that means plant-based versions of mayonnaise and cheese. In addition, this bowl contains chickpeas, pumpkin seeds, and quinoa along with roasted corn. I will say I was a bit skeptical that I would enjoy it without the dairy, but I was pleasantly surprised! This bowl has 12 grams of protein, so it’s filling enough for a meal. Willy North only.
