In partnership with

Hi, {{first__name | reader}},

Stumptown Savings is partnering with Meals on Wheels People this month to ensure no senior goes hungry during the holidays.

I’m looking for 7 volunteers to join me in greeting shoppers and handing out "Donate Dinner" cards at the Hawthorne New Seasons Market on Monday, Nov. 24. Teams of 2 will work two-hour blocks from 11 a.m. - 7 p.m., encouraging shoppers to donate at checkout.

Sign up by creating a volunteer profile and entering the code StumptownSavings (all one word). As a thank you for your support, every volunteer will get a shoutout in an upcoming newsletter and some Stumptown Savings swag. Let's give back during this frightening time of food insecurity and help Meals on Wheels People reach this crucial fundraising goal.

I’ve also been bust this week covering the ongoing SNAP crisis. Here’s a rundown of how local grocers are stepping up to support food banks. And here’s how the Oregon Farmers Market Fund and farmers markets across the state are keeping Double Up Food Bucks going weven without matching SNAP funds.

Special Mentions

What We’re Cooking

A good deal is my favorite inspiration for what to cook. This week, I’ve got my eyes on a vegetarian shepherd’s pie, an easy apple crumble, and a simple 30-minute weeknight dinner.

With tri-tip on sale this week, it’s a great time to bust out my recipe for tri-tip sandwiches. (Bryan M. Vance/Stumptown Savings)

A classic Shepherd’s Pie is a fantastic way to use this week's ground beef deals, but this vegetarian version from New York Times Cooking is every bit as cozy and satisfying. Instead of meat, it builds a rich, savory base with mushrooms, lentils, and hearty root vegetables, all tucked under a fluffy blanket of mashed potatoes. With amazing deals on potatoes all over town this week, it’s the perfect time to try this comforting fall classic. 

This easy Apple Crumble recipe from Mom on Timeout is the perfect way to end a cozy meal. It features a warmly spiced apple filling baked under a sweet and crunchy oat crumble. It comes together quickly and is best served warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream — this winning store-brand tub is a relative steal.

With tri-tip back on sale this week, I’m dusting off my recipe for tri-tip sandwiches. This recipe guides you through creating a restaurant-quality meal at home, featuring juicy, perfectly cooked tri-tip sliced thin and piled high on a toasted bun. The secret is the combination of sweet, slow-cooked caramelized onions and a drizzle of your favorite BBQ sauce.

For a meal that is both delicious and easy, this one-pan lemon herb chicken is a perfect weeknight solution. Pair it with some roasted veggies for a complete meal that is on the table in under 30-minutes, with minimal clean-up.

Events

This weekend is all about food and family fun, with the Holiday Food & Gift Festival, Gobble Up Portland, and Fry Bread Fest all taking place, plus fall discount days at the Oregon Zoo. Our complete guide has details on these and dozens of other farmers markets, dinners, and cooking classes, and more happening around town.
