The Cooperative Pantry

To inspire and encourage your co-op shopping, here’s a recipe where every ingredient is available at Three Rivers Market! I invite other members to contribute! For this recipe, I really enjoy going to the co-op’s bulk spices shelves and measuring the spices out of the glass jars into the little bags, getting just enough for what I need, breathing in the fragrance as I go, which begin in the store and continue in my kitchen!
