Rather Crafty GF Vegan Menu for Tuesday, June 14

Dearest Wonderful Folks,

What a great week!

And what crazy weather it's been! It should cool off a bit through the
weekend, though.

The coming week should be action-packed too. This weekend is Boston
LGBT Pride! And the Boston Bruins are halfway through the Stanley Cup
Final, which I'm told by people with TVs is a Really Big Deal. In
honor of the Bruins, we have some lovely Bruins-color-scheme items
down in the Bakery section. Scroll down to check it out!

**************

SOUP:

Chunky Vegetable Stew! $6

PLATES:

Raw Sprouted Sunflower Seed Hummus. With carrots and celery, of course! $9

Pizza with Almond Bechamel Sauce, Roasted Vegetables, and Thyme. (If
you are eggplant-averse, just let me know, and you'll get extras of
other veg instead of the eggplant!) $10

Raw Pad Thai Salad! Yum! Fresh, homemade coconut milk, raw almond
butter, chiles, and cilantro dress your salad - either with Asian Rice
Noodles for $10 or ALL RAW with lots of colorful veggie ribbons for
$11. Please specify your preference!

Greek Quinoa Salad with Cucumber, Tomato, and Kalamata Olives in a
Lemon-Parsley Dressing! Over crisp Romaine. $10

Baked Mac and Vegan Cheese! Gluten free brown rice shell pasta,
smothered in the creamiest of (cashew-based, from scratch) sauces, and topped with
GF homemade herbed bread crumbs. With a side of greens du jour. Yum!
$10

BAKERY:

Purple Sticky Rice dressed in the colors of the Boston Bruins: Black,
Gold, and White! Blackberries, Golden Mango, and Creamy White Coconut
Milk adorn the purply-black sticky rice and take it to Stanley Cup
Perfection! $7

Bruins Muffins: (Actually the ever-popular Buckwheat Banana Chocolate
Chip Muffins.) Did you know that until 1939 the Bruins wore brown and
yellow? $9 half dozen, $16 dozen

*****************

As always, everything I prepare for you is vegan, and naturally free of allergens of animal origin. I do not use wheat or other gluten-containing grains, nor do I use soy or peanut. I DO use tree nuts and seeds in some, but not all, dishes. If you or someone with whom you will be sharing has an allergy or sensitivity, please let me know!

It helps me a lot if you return last week's containers. Plus, it helps us all walk a little more lightly on the Earth!

Please place orders by midnight, Sunday night for delivery on Tuesday, June 14. I deliver within greater Boston - currently Boston, Cambridge, Brookline, and Somerville. Please email rathercraftymary@gmail.com to place an order or ask me just about anything!

Thank you so much!

Love and sunshine,

Chef Mary

Everything I make for you is vegan, healthy, and delicious! Because it
is all vegan, it is naturally free of common allergens fish,

prefer. If you have any kind of allergy or sensitivity, please let me
