Fall Favorites from the Co-op
Like it or not, the cool weather has arrived. Whether you are heading out for a hike or enjoying a good book by the fire, the Co-op Deli has what you need to fuel your favorite fall activity. Stay warm with these comfort food recommendations from the Co-op Deli.
Nothing complements a perfect, brisk fall day than a bowl of our tasty and filling soups. I love the Green Chili Chicken, Split Pea and Rosemary Red Lentil. The Beef Chili is another delicious option, you can’t go wrong!

With the fall chill in the air, warming spices are where it's at for me. I love our organic Pumpkin Spice (cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, ginger, allspice in simple syrup). I made our Pumpkin Spice syrup the other day and the aroma intoxicatingly filled the Deli. Perfect in a latte and can be added to any drink imaginable.

My pick for fall is the Butternut Squash Lasagna and Garlic Parmesan Mashed Potatoes. The basil bechamel and all of the mozzarella in the lasagna is delicious and very comforting. And who doesn’t love good mashed potatoes? Our Garlic Parmesan Mashed Potatoes are filled with garlic, butter, parmesan and of course, are fantastic.

With autumn comes chilly mornings filled with hot cider and frosted pumpkin cookies.These have everything you want in a fall treat, flavorful pumpkin baked into soft cookies topped with a sweet frosted layer. A seasonal favorite of mine.

December Change for Good: Jackson County Fuel Committee
If you’ve lived through even one Rogue Valley winter, you know the cold settles in quickly. The frosty mornings, the long dark evenings, the kind of chill that lingers no matter how many layers you put on - winter can be tough. And while many of us can manage with the help of heaters, woodstoves, and warm homes, thousands of families in our community struggle to access the heat they need to stay safe and comfortable. That’s where the Jackson County Fuel Committee (JCFC) comes in!
