Tangy Grilled Chicken Quarters
The ever-popular flavor of dill pickles gives this marinade and sauce a tart kick, which is balanced by creamy mayonnaise. Save some to use as a sauce for the finished chicken, so make sure to reserve what you need and keep it away from the raw chicken.
The General Manager’s Summer 2026 Update
“Spring flew swiftly by, and summer came; and if the village had been beautiful at first, it was now in the full glow and luxuriance of its richness. The great trees, which had looked shrunken and bare in the earlier months, had now burst into strong life and health.” -Charles Dickens
Kale Pasta Salad with Crispy Chickpeas
Roasting chickpeas makes them dense and crunchy, providing a lively texture to this colorful pasta salad. The dressing is easy to stir up and pairs tangy lemon and creamy tahini for a satisfyingly thick drizzle over the pasta and veggies.
Portobello Mushroom Stir-Fry
The Buddha bowl may be named for the shape of the Buddha’s belly or for the practice of Buddhist Monks walking from house to house with a bowl, receiving rice and other food from the community. Either way, the bowl is a wonderful, flexible way to enjoy hearty grains topped with everything you need for a meal in one bowl.
