Hi, {{first__name | reader}},

A critical funding deadline is approaching, and it could have a devastating impact on our neighbors.

Unless Congress reaches a new government funding deal by the end of October, SNAP benefits for more than 750,000 Oregonians will be suspended Saturday, Nov. 1. Overnight, families already struggling to afford food will face an even greater crisis.

Now more than ever, Stumptown Savings needs to be a vital resource for our community. That’s why I’m offering complimentary annual Savers Club memberships to anyone who cannot afford one — no questions asked.

But I also need to be direct with you: this project isn’t financially sustainable yet, and I also face a deadline: My unemployment runs out in two weeks.

If you are in a position to help, please consider sponsoring a membership for a neighbor in need. Your support will ensure this work continues and help keep this resource available for everyone.

Does your car insurance cover what really matters?

Not all car insurance is created equal. Minimum liability coverage may keep you legal on the road, but it often won’t be enough to cover the full cost of an accident. Without proper limits, you could be left paying thousands out of pocket. The right policy ensures you and your finances are protected. Check out Money’s car insurance tool to get the coverage you actually need.

What We’re Cooking

A good deal is my favorite inspiration for what to cook. Each week, I share a few recipes I'm excited about that make the most of what's on sale around Portland, helping you plan your meals and your shopping list at the same time. This week, we have recipes ranging from a radicchio salad to an Indian-inspired curry.

If you’ve never been a fan of radicchio (which can be extremely bitter if not prepped right), this is the recipe that will change your mind. Portland’s own Nostrana restaurant created this iconic salad that perfectly balances the bitter green with a creamy, Caesar-like dressing, crunchy rosemary croutons, and salty Parmesan cheese. It changed my mind about radicchio.

Put two of this week’s prominent ingredients to use for a flavorful, seasonal one-pan dish. Tender salmon fillets and crisp asparagus roast together on a single sheet pan, all coated in a sauce of chile crisp, soy, and ginger. It's a complete meal that's on the table in under 30 minutes.

Another sheet-pan recipe from New York Times Cooking: This is perfect for a crisp fall evening. Chicken thighs are roasted alongside sweet, tender chunks of winter squash until everything is perfectly caramelized and delicious.

Pair sweet potatoes with pantry staples like lentils and a can of coconut milk for a flavorful and satisfying meal. Wilt in a few handfuls of spinach at the end for extra nutrients and color. You’ll have a flavorful dal-like dish in under an hour.

Events

Each month, I curate the best food & drink, gardening, and related events happening around the Portland metro region this weekend and beyond.
