LETTER FROM THE CEO

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your continued support and loyalty to Mother’s Market & Kitchen.

Fall is a season of abundance. As our local farmers gather the finest organic produce from their fields, our team at Mother’s Market & Kitchen works diligently to source it. We pride ourselves in bringing the healthiest ingredients to your kitchen and to your table.

As we embrace the spirit of fall, we invite you to explore the healthy flavors that this season brings – from apples to pears to pomegranates – we look forward to sharing special recipes, promotions and of course, smoothies inspired by the season.

In the spirit of our gratitude for your loyalty, we’re excited to introduce some special fall promotions and events that celebrate the essence of the season. Keep an eye out for exciting community events – there is going to be an awesome one in October – and exclusive specials on favorite products.

Lastly, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our incredible team members who work tirelessly to ensure that your experience with Mother’s Market & Kitchen is nothing short of exceptional. Their dedication and passion are the driving forces behind the care and quality you’ve come to expect from us.

Thank you for being a cherished member of the Mother’s Market & Kitchen family. Wishing you a season filled with warmth, wellness, and good food.

Cheers,

Dorothy Carlow

Mother’s Market & Kitchen CEO

LOCAL FARMS & FAMILY PRODUCERS

With the widest selection of organic produce in Southern California for over 40 years, Mother’s is your organic produce destination. Bringing Orange County and Los Angeles residents the best organic fruits and vegetables does not just happen overnight. Through years of vetting, forming, and maintaining relationships with local farms and family producers, we are able to bring you the best of the best. With fall in mind, we wanted to share one of our amazing partners that supplies us, and ultimately you, with fresh picks of the season.

This season, Cuyama Orchards is supplying Mother’s with Crimson Gold Apples and Gala Apples. Cuyama Orchards was established in 1992 when Howard and Jean Albano plowed under 20 acres of hay in front of their farmhouse and planted Nagafu Fuji apples that had made their entrance to the US from Japan.

Cuyama Orchards is nestled in the uppermost reaches of the Cuyama Valley in a rugged mountainous corner of Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties in California. At 3,300 feet in elevation, Cuyama Orchards enjoys the ideal microclimate for growing sweet, crunchy, juicy apples that are bursting with flavor. The warm days late into the fall along with crisp cool nights allow for them to harvest their fruit with full flavor at the peak of ripeness, including the Crimson Gold and Gala Apples they will be supplying us.

By 1997, they had 80 acres of Fuji and Pink Lady Apples in production when they partnered with their son Byron to handle sales and marketing. Together they developed an enthusiastic local following for the excellent apples that Howard and Jean were producing. In 1999, they completed transitioning to certified organic production, and continued expanding their orchards to meet the burgeoning demand for their fruit.

Since those early years, the Albano’s have continued to work hard to grow the very best apples, and to partner with local and regional markets, farmer’s markets, and a variety of traditional and not-so-traditional food distributors to get their fruit from their farm to your table.

The Crimson Gold Apple is a classic American Heirloom apple. It was discovered by Albert Etter in Humboldt County, California. This variety was lost for decades, but thankfully, it was re-discovered from an original tree. The Crimson Gold is perfect for fresh snacking and a prized ingredient for pastries, jellies, chutneys, and cider.

As for the Gala Apple, these apples are a “summer apple” that ripen ahead of just about all other varieties. Cuyama Gala are sweet, crisp, and fragrant. Great for a snack!

Labor Day Weekend Party MUST-HAVE HOMEMADE DIPS AND SAUCES

Part of the fun of Labor Day Weekend is going to a party and eating delicious food that you likely do not eat on a normal basis – the chips, the dips…

If you’re having people over or if you need to bring something to a party, it’s essential to make sure that you have the right dips and sauces to pair with what’s being served. Plus, who doesn’t like having multiple options? Luckily, you don’t have to make them from scratch nor do you only have to choose one option because Mother’s has many different kinds to choose from in our Homemade Grab & Go.

Some of the tasty options include our Cilantro Jalapeño Dressing, Vegan Ranch Dressing, Raw Garlic Hummus, Mango Salsa, and Guacamole. The Cilantro Jalapeño Dressing has the perfect

amount of spice, not too much, but enough to make it noticeable and delicious. It pairs well with raw veggies and chicken. There’s a reason it’s very popular! Our Vegan Ranch Dressing is great for salads, wraps, raw veggies, and more – you won’t even know it’s vegan. As for our Raw Garlic Hummus…this is your warning that once you try it, you will be addicted. It’s very flavorful, has the perfect texture, and is great for using as a dip or a spread. We love that it’s multi-use. For a classic chip and dip situation, try our Mango Salsa and Guac. The Mango Salsa is a unique option and has the perfect amount of sweetness. However, if a more traditional salsa is what you’re looking for, you can always opt for our Fire-Roasted Salsa or Pico de Gallo. And saving the best for last, Mother’s Guac is a fan-favorite for a reason. Once you try it, you’ll want it at every party. Try it for yourself and thank us later!

Wellness Ingredient Spotlight ALL ABOUT ELDERBERRY

Come fall time, many start looking for immuneboosting supplements to help them get through cold and flu season. One such ingredient that may boost your immunity is elderberry and over the past few years, it has become increasingly popular.

Elderberries are the dark purple berries that originate from the European elder tree. The berries and flowers of such trees are full of antioxidants and vitamins, including Vitamin C, and used in many elderberry supplements. According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, “some preliminary research

suggests that elderberry may relieve symptoms of flu or other upper respiratory infections.” While more research needs to be done, the increasing popularity of elderberry supplements suggests that people believe it may work.

For those looking to try elderberry supplements themselves, Mother’s offers a wide variety of options across multiple brands and different forms including gummies, syrups, and capsules so that you can find one that best suits your needs. If you have any questions while looking for these supplements, you can always chat with one of our Wellness team members.

WHY MULTIVITAMINS ARE ESSENTIAL NOWADAYS

Multivitamin supplements are very popular nowadays, with estimates showing that one-third of all American adults and one-quarter of children take a multivitamin supplement. But why are multivitamin supplements so popular?

ent-deficient diet creates nutrient gaps that have us feeling less than healthy. That’s where multivitamin supplements prove useful.

The Benefits of a Multivitamin

According to a consensus statement featuring a panel of 14 international experts in nutritional science and healthcare, multivitamin supplements can significantly improve nutritional status and can also be individualized according to age, gender and other characteristics to support individualized health needs.

In addition to filling nutritional gaps, research shows that taking a multivitamin supplement may also help support vital systems, such as the health of the brain, immune system, heart, and eyes.

Taking Multivitamin Supplements? Timing is Key

Many people who take supplements to support a healthy lifestyle don’t know that the time of day you take your vitamins can affect how efficiently your body utilizes them.

Your Food is Losing Nutrients

The body needs a wide array of nutrients from food to function properly. But what happens if those foods don’t contain enough of the amount of nutrients needed? Research shows that the foods grown today are not as nutritious as those in past decades due to soil erosion, mechanical tillage, and the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

In fact, we’re producing more carbon dioxide— also known as CO2, a colorless gas that becomes poisonous when there’s too much of it—than our planet can handle. From increased manufacturing, deforestation and vehicle emissions, all these things that create excess CO2 can harm us and the planet. When it comes to plants, CO2 slows down circulation which leads to plants absorbing fewer minerals.

In addition to depleted soil, according to the US Department of Health and Human Services and Agriculture, the typical American diet tends to be low in important nutrients such as vitamins A, C, D, and E, calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium and fiber. The combination of depleted soil and a nutri-

If you’re taking a water-soluble vitamin, you can take it on an empty stomach as long as you drink a glass of water with it. Vitamins B and C are water-soluble and are best taken in the morning because B vitamins can be energizing, so you don’t want to take these late in the day because they can disrupt your sleep. Don’t forget to regularly consume these types of vitamins; they don’t get stored in the body, so replenishing them regularly is essential for optimal health.

On the other hand, fat-soluble vitamins are not absorbed well without food, or they may cause an upset stomach. People tend to eat fatty foods in the evening, so it’s a great time to take fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E and K because they’ll be better absorbed.

What if you’re taking a multivitamin? Multivitamins are a little tricky because they contain both water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins. Medical doctors suggest taking multivitamins with food and water. However, Dr. Perez-Gallardo recommends taking water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins separately, to improve absorption. But are there any multivitamins that separate water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins? KAL’s Multivitamin AM/PM does just this.

Why Dosage Matters

If you take your vitamins on an empty stomach, upset stomach symptoms could last two to three hours—which is how long it takes for the vitamins to pass through your system. Not only that, an upset stomach can affect absorption, making it less likely for your vitamins to get utilized in the body.

Some nutrients, like magnesium and zinc, may upset the stomach if too much is taken at once. That’s where KAL Multivitamin AM/PM comes in. It helps ease the digestion of these vital nutrients without sacrificing the dose. By easing digestion, it helps your digestive system efficaciously absorb these powerful key vitamins and minerals.

Double The Power of Key Essentials

In addition to KAL Multivitamin AM/PM splitting up the fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins and setting the right dosages to help prevent an upset stomach, it also doubles the power of key nutrients.

Some vitamins are essential in the morning and also important in the evening. KAL Multivitamin AM/PM doubled up on magnesium and their 72 Trace Mineral Blend to fuel in the morning and replenish in the evening. Magnesium helps support the body in over 300 enzymatic processes, so it’s important to get the right amount throughout the day, especially if you don’t get enough from diet alone.

Choosing a High-Quality Multivitamin Tailored Just for You

There are many multivitamin supplements to choose from, but not all take into consideration better absorption, gentle digestion, and fueling with key minerals. Luckily, KAL Multivitamin AM/PM does just that and offers options tailored to every adult. In fact, this multivitamin is a twice-daily supplement designed to give you what your body needs, when you need it. Two doses, one for the morning and one for the evening, help fill nutritional gaps while facilitating gentle digestion and better absorption.

The KAL Multivitamin AM/PM line offers options designed specifically for men, women, women over 50 and adults in general. Here are some key nutrients offered in each tailored formula:

• Men’s Multivitamin AM/PM: designed to support men’s active lifestyle, this formula supports energy metabolism, immunity and healthy muscles with vitamins B, zinc and magnesium malate.* It also features Maca Root, L-Glutamine and 22mg of zinc in an iron-free formula.

• Women's Multivitamin AM/PM: designed to support women’s health inside-out, this formula supports energy metabolism, nerve function and immunity with vitamins B-12, folate and zinc.* It also features powerful antioxidants like vitamins C, E and selenium, plus Bamboo Silica, Iodine, Ashwagandha and GABA.

• Women's 50+ Multivitamin AM/PM: designed to support healthy aging from within, this formula supports energy metabolism, nerve function and immunity with vitamins B-12, folate and zinc.* It also

features powerful antioxidants like vitamins C, E and selenium, 210mg of magnesium, Iodine, Ginkgo Biloba and MSM in an iron-free formula.

• Adults Multivitamin AM/PM: designed to support general wellness for all adults, this formula supports energy metabolism, nerve function and immunity with vitamins B, C and zinc.* It also features 200 mcg of Chromium, Organic Matcha, Turmeric, 6mg of iron and KAL’s 72 Trace Mineral Blend.

The great thing about an AM/PM multivitamin is that certain nutrients are better taken in the morning and certain nutrients will help support relaxation in the evening. KAL’s Multivitamin AM/PM for Adults features matcha and spirulina which may help support energy throughout the day when taken in the morning, and tart cherry with magnesium glycinate, which may help support relaxation in the evening.* Depending on your specific needs and health goals, KAL Multivitamin AM/PM is a great option to start filling nutritional gaps because it’s tailored to your specific needs, and it doesn’t get better than that.

As one of the first companies to make supplements, we’ve been practicing good habits for a long time. And we do it well. From our innovative multivitamins to our high-absorption magnesium collection, we are proud makers of quality products that help support every age at every stage. Our goal for over 90 years? To design simple, clean and effective supplements that provide healthy solutions for the whole family. Because you're family.

Toppings – Your preference, but some tasty options include:

• Granola (Mother’s Homemade is the best!)

3. Sprinkle with your favorite toppings.

Twist on a Classic ROTISSERIE CHICKEN STROGANOFF

Give classic stroganoff a twist with some shredded rotisserie chicken! This whole dinner comes together quickly, making it a new staple for busy weeknights.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 heaping cups of Mother’s roasted chicken, shredded (about 1 lb of meat)

• 12 oz. egg noodles

• 4 T. butter, divided

• 1 cup organic diced onion

• 8 oz. organic cremini mushrooms, sliced

• 2 cloves organic garlic, minced

• 2 T. all-purpose flour

• 1 T. Worcestershire sauce

• 1 ½ cups organic chicken stock

• ½ cup sour cream

• ½ T. kosher salt, and black pepper to taste

• Organic parsley to garnish

DIRECTIONS:

1. Cook noodles: Cook the egg noodles in salted water according to the package directions. Once cooked, drain and return them to the pot with two tablespoons of butter, and toss to coat.

2. Cook onions and mushrooms: Melt the remaining butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and mushrooms and cook for 6 - 8 minutes until the vegetables have softened and browned. Add the garlic and cook for a final 30 seconds, until the garlic is fragrant. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

3. Make the sauce: Add the flour to the skillet and use a spatula to work the flour in, forming a paste-like coating on the vegetables. Cook for a minute and then add the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and some freshly ground black pepper. Slowly add the chicken stock in 1/2-cup increments, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.

4. Reduce the sauce: Once your chicken stock has been added, let the sauce thicken for a few minutes and then stir in the shredded chicken. Remove the pot from the heat and add the sour cream, and stir to combine. Taste the sauce and season it with salt and pepper to your liking.

5. Finish: Return the pan to low heat and warm until the sauce is once again piping hot. If at any point the sauce gets too thick, thin it with a drizzle of cooking water from the pasta.

6. Serve: Serve the stroganoff either by stirring the noodles straight into the sauce to combine everything, or portioning out the noodles onto individual plates and spooning the sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Must-Try SALMON WITH WINE SAUCE

Did you know that Mother’s carries its own line of sustainable seafood including delicious Atlantic salmon? If you’re wondering how to cook the salmon for a restaurant-worthy meal at home, trying this recipe is a must. It’s super tasty and pairs well with fresh organic asparagus.

INGREDIENTS:

• 4 pieces Mother’s Atlantic salmon

• ½ cup sugar

• 2 cups red wine (pinot noir works well here)

• Fresh organic rosemary

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 T. balsamic vinegar

• 1 T. butter

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

2. Place sugar in saucepan over medium heat. Without stirring, cook until sugar melts and starts to turn a golden brown. You can swirl or shake the pan occasionally.

3. Remove from heat and carefully add the red wine.

4. Put over high heat, add a sprig of fresh rosemary and cook until the wine is reduced and is the consistency of syrup. This should take about 15 minutes.

5. Remove rosemary sprig, add the balsamic vinegar and butter, and stir. Hold until salmon is finished.

6. Heat a cast iron pan until very hot. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Place fish in the pan and immediately place into the oven. Cook 4 minutes. Turn fish over and cook 3 minutes for medium rare. (More time if you prefer it.)

7. Remove salmon.

8. Top with sauce and garnish with chopped rosemary.

SQUASH SEASON IS HERE!

Fall is a time to squash; Football is center stage and Mother’s has the squash varieties you want. Butternut, Acorn, Kabocha, Delicata, and Spaghetti Squash. Whether you prefer to roast them, fry them, grill them, or bake them in a pie, they are the perfect complement to the season. What is the difference between these different squash varieties? Let’s find out.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH

With a long bell shape and tan-yellow skin, Butternut Squash are one of the most recognized squash of the season. This variety has a vibrant orange flesh and sweet, nutty flavor that is reminiscent of a cross between pumpkin and sweet potatoes. While you can roast and serve butternut squash by itself, it pairs well with both sweet and savory dishes and is delicious in soups, curries, pastas, and more.

ACORN SQUASH

Shaped like an acorn with longitudinal ridges on its exterior, Acorn Squash has a pale yellow flesh. While it does have a sweet, nutty flavor, it’s a bit more mild and watery than Butternut Squash. It also has a more fibrous texture. It too can be roasted, but it is also delicious when incorporated in muffins, breakfast burritos, salads, and more.

KABOCHA SQUASH

While not as well-known as other squash varieties, Kabocha Squash offers a taste similar to a cross between an acorn squash and sweet potato. With a dark green skin and orange flesh, this variety is sweeter than a butternut squash and has a chestnut-like, fluffy, yet dry, texture. It’s commonly used in Japanese and Korean cuisines and can be a substitute for butternut squash or acorn squash in many recipes.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH

Perhaps one of the most well-known aside from butternut squash, Spaghetti Squash is oblong shaped with a smooth yellow skin and creamyyellow flesh. It has a mild, earthy taste with a slight sweetness and is most commonly roasted and then turned into “noodles” by using a fork to separate the squash strands from the skin.

DELICATA SQUASH

Named for its delicate and edible skin, Delicata Squash has a creamy-yellow cylindrical exterior with skinny green stripes. It’s sweet, tender, creamy, and easy to cook because no peeling is required! It pairs well with salmon, lamb, and more, but is also delicious on its own. Simply slice, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper for a super easy side dish.
