July 4 - July 8 Menu

I hope that everyone has a great July 4th weekend! It's a great time to have friends and family close! In the last post and email, I offered two simple items for July 4th to supplement any get togethers you may be attending. You can still order them if you would like.

You will notice that there are no Wednesday options due to a catering commitment. If you would like a quote on personal event, Lake Powell trip food, etc., please feel free to ask and I will provide a quote!

This is the fifth week of my little venture. I've really enjoyed cooking meals and hope that you have enjoyed it also :o) I'm very excited about the upcoming week. Some of my favorite meals are on the menu!

Monday, June 27th

Chili Verde. This is a great recipe. Definitely one of my favorites! This Chili Verde has shredded, tender pork in a medium spicy green sauce which includes green chilis, onions, and tomatoes. It has substantially more meat in it than most Chili Verde at restaurants. I use Chili Verde several ways. My favorite it to make burritos or enchiladas with it and smother it with lots of cheese. You can also make chimichungas with the meat and smother them. You can use for the meat for nachos. Lots of people just put it in a bowl and eat it with tortillas. However you choose to use it, you will love it! I will make enchiladas with the meat and smother them with cheese if you like.

Straight Chili Verde: 1/2 Quart $9, 1 Quart $16.

Bean enchiladas (flour shells) smothered with Chili Verde and Cheese: 8x6 $11, 9x13 $20;

Chili Verde enchiladas (flour shells) smothered with Chili Verde and Cheese: 8x6 $13, 9x13 $22

Homemade Refried Beans. I hate to repeat an item so quickly; however, you have to have refried beans with any Hispanic meal in my mind :) Pinto Beans soaked and slow cooked and mashed with just the right amount of seasoning to enhance the main course. Quart $5, 1/2 Quart $3

Lime Cilantro Rice. Tender and slightly sweet rice with a touch of lime and cilantro. Cooked with coconut milk to enhance flavor. Quart $5, 1/2 Quart $3

Wednesday, June 29

Chicken Lemon Basil Salad. This is actually a recipe that I created. The base of this salad has fresh lemon juice and zest combined with fresh basil. I've been so excited to offer it, but had to wait until fresh basil was available. Combined with the lemon basil base is penne pasta, cucumbers, grape tomatoes and red onions and tender oven roasted chicken. This recipe screams summer -- almost as much as the heat that we are having :o) Quart: $7.50

Homemade Breadsticks. Freshly baked breadsticks are also on the menu. Nothing says home and comfort like homemade bread. Let me make it for you! 6 breadsticks $3

Chocolate Bundt Cake. This is my husband's favorite cake. It is made in a bundt pan and presents wonderfully. It is a very dense moist cake. If it wasn't rich enough, there is a pound of chocolate chips baked into it. I like it best the day that it is made. Mark likes it best the next couple days -- he says it tastes like a truffle. This is a great cake. You will love it! $22

Thursday, June 30

Meatloaf. 1 1/2 pounds (pre-cooked) of meaty delight. The pinnacle of comfort food! I've tried a lot of meatloaf recipes and this is by far my favorite. I hate meatloaf swimming in grease, so I use extra lean hamburger and put the meat on bread so that the fat soaks up the grease, not the meatloaf. It is topped with barbecue sauce. Enjoy! $14

Mashed Potatoes. I love, love, love mashed potatoes. They are my favorite part of Thanksgiving and practically any meal. These potatoes are mashed and seasoned to perfection. I hear that I make incredible mashed potatoes. Since they are one of my ultimate favorite foods, it wouldn't surprise you that I have perfected them (at least in my mind!) Made only with Idaho potatoes (you would expect that living on a potato farm for years!) If you order loaded you will receive a wonderful mixture of butter, sour cream and cheese (thanks Karen Scott for this inspired idea!), plus crumbled bacon pieces to take your potatoes to the next level.

1/2 quart "regular" $5 or loaded $7. Quart $9 or loaded $11

Glazed Carrots. Baby carrots simmered to tender goodness in a rich, sweet glaze. 1/2 quart $4

Vanilla Cupcakes with Strawberry Filling and Strawberry Whipped Cream Frosting. I've been told that the angels sing when I make these. Moist vanilla cupcake with a strawberry filling tucked inside as a sweet surprise. All topped with a whipped cream frosting with read strawberries in it. One of my signature desserts! $12 per dozen or $1.25 each

Monday, July 4

Baked Beans. With thoughts of the 4th of July weekend, I will be offering baked. beans again for your family get togethers. Made with apple wood smoked bacon, red and green peppers and a sweet sauce that will make you so happy you ordered! Quart $6

Coleslaw. Creamy coleslaw with red onions, carrots and a wonderful creamy sauce all together with slice green and red cabbage. Quart $5

Monday, June 20th

There is quite a selection Monday and they don't necessarily go together, but I've tried to accommodate families with younger kids and families with older, fewer or no children. Of course, comfort food is comfort food and there's no age limit, so order whatever your heart desires!

Wild Mushroom Soup -- This is a Barefoot Contessa based recipe. I love her! As odd as this sounds, I hate mushrooms. I will pick them out of anything; however, I love this soup! It's made with mushroom stock from four types of mushrooms and assorted veggies. The stock is added to the slice mushroom tops and then pureed (still some mushroom chunks) to ultimate goodness. Topped with Parmesan Cheese. I love, love, love this soup. Please join me in the wonderfulness :o) $7 per quart

Macaroni & Cheese -- Ultimate comfort food. Little elbow macaroni's surrounded in a homemade cheese sauce with two different cheeses. It's topped with homemade bread crumbs. All you have to do it bake. 8 x 6 for $8, 9 x 13 $15

Breadsticks -- I'm back into the bread making groove. The breadsticks will have Parmesan cheese and a hint of garlic. 6 for $3

Lemon Bars -- This recipe is from the Lion House originally. A tender shortbread crust with a moist lemon custard. 1 dozen (2" x 3" minimum) for $7

Wednesday, June 22nd

Chicken Oriental Pasta Salad -- This recipe is based on that wonderful Carmella's restaurant in Alpine years ago. Pasta noodles, green onions, Mandarin oranges, and tender chicken chunks with a creamy oriental dressing. The salad is crowned with toasted sesame seeds. When my grand daughter was blessed a couple months go I served five soups and five salads and various desserts. This was by far the most commented and complimented item, yes, even more than my beloved red velvet cake. 1 Quart $7

Breadsticks -- Buttered breadsticks. Wonderful, homemade and happy to come to your home! 6 for $3

Thursday, June 23rd

Teriyaki Chicken -- Tender chicken slow cooked in a tangy teriyaki sauce. Chicken rice bowls for everyone! 1/2 Quart $8; 1 Quart $14

Rice -- White (or brown on request :o) simmered to perfection. 1/2 Quart $3; 1 Quart $4

Strawberry Delight -- I taught 25 teenagers Sunday School years ago. This was one of their very favorite things for me to make. They called it heavenly dessert because it wouldn't be heaven without it :) Angel food cake pieces layered with fresh strawberries in a strawberry glaze. Fresh whipped cream is the next layer, then it is layered all over again. See what heaven is like! 1 Quart $8

June 13 - 18th

Here's the offerings for June 13 - 18th. If you would like to order anything, please do so by Saturday, midnight (extra time since I'm getting this up late). Ordering details still to the right.

Monday, June 16th (You Pick-Up)

Creamy Chicken Enchiladas --These enchiladas have a creamy chicken, green chili, onion and cheese mixture wrapped in a flour tortilla and topped with more creamy sauce. Very mild and family friendly. 8 x 6: $12; 9 x 13 $20

Homemade Refried Beans -- Homemade refried beans spiced up just enough to give a little spice. Mashed to perfect consistency with just a little texture. $4 per quart

Black Bean Salsa -- This black bean salsa has white shoepeg corn, black beans, purple onions, tomatoes, fresh cilantro and just a little lime. All brought together with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. This is great to put over the top of the enchiladas, but even if you don't get the enchiladas, you will want the salsa to go with your favorite chips! $7 per quart, $4 per 1/2 quart

Coconut Covered Ice Cream -- Vanilla ice cream balls rolled in coconut. Includes a 3.5 oz container of homemade chocolate sauce to put on yourself when you get home! $10 for 6 ice cream balls and homemade chocolate sauce.

Wednesday, June 15th

Strawberry Spinach Salad -- This is my favorite summer salad. Imagine fresh spinach, strawberries, cucumbers, red onion, and toasted toasted almonds. Sitting there so pretty on your plate. The only thing to do would be to top it with Lemon Poppyseed Dressing. Try it, you'll love it! This will be packaged so that you can toss it and have the crisp things still crispy :o) $7 per quart

Breadsticks--my Kitchen Aid up and died last week while making hamburger buns :/ so these are contingent on a new Kitchen Aid or Bosch, a repaired Kitchen Aid or a Good Samaritan's Bosch! In other words, I'll try, but I'm not promising! $4 for 6 breadsticks

Thursday, June 16th

French Dip/Italian Beef Sandwiches -- You can imagine my delight when I found a sale on beef roasts. I've been waiting ever so patiently. You will love the slow roasted beef with a little secret spice. Love, love, love it. You can serve as French Dip or just Italian Beef. I may have to limit quantities on these based on how much meat it took to fill those quart containers with meat this week! $16 per quart, $8 per 1/2 quart; buttered Deli buns (you toast at home), with slices of Provalone cheese $6 for 6, Au Jus $4 1/2 quart.

Banana Pudding--This is a great pudding for the entire family. It's very rich and ever so creamy. In it you will find banana slices and vanilla wafers. This heaven in a dessert is topped with real whipped cream. My little grandson ate a huge bowl of this last week and thought it was the best thing he's tasted. $6 per quart.

So there you have it. Another fun with with the Weisenburgers. Please join us for dinner as often as you would like :o)

Thursday, June 9th

I'm trying to get onto a calendar week basis, so here's the offering for Thursday, June 9th. You can order this with "week two" through Friday, June 3rd.

Thursday, June 9th
Tortellini Soup -- This is a beef based soup with Italian Sausage and seasonings. It also has tender, cheese filled tortellini, Parmesan cheese and spinach in it. To make it a little more filling, I like to add carrots and yellow summer squash. This is a recipe from my friend Ann and it's a hit whenever I serve it. Try it... you'll like it!

French Pheasant Bread -- My friends call this Macaroni Grill bread. With good reason -- it is very similar. If you love artisan bread, you will love this bread. It is great with the tortellini soup or to just dip in olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
