This meal is specifically in honor of the lovely Miss Sarah. She loves everything on the menu. Happy birthday Sarah. You make my heart sing and my soul rejoice.
Creamy Chicken Soup -- This was the first thing that I offered on this little venture. This soup was originally from Donna Leichty. It is one of my definite go-to's. Carrots, onions, potatoes and peas in a creamy sauce. Homemade noodles (not by me, that's what they are called, but they taste like homemade!) compliment the vegetables. This is basically the same recipe as used in my pot pie (without the noodles). I love this soup. A lot. Qt $7, Gallon $24
Homemade Rolls -- Sarah loves these. It's a sad day when there are no rolls on cooking day. 1/2 dozen $4, 1 dozen $6
Red Velvet Cake -- This has been a tradition for Weisenburger birthdays for generations. We've been eating this cake for over thirty years... long before its resurgence of popularity. Red velvet cake screams "you are special" and "it's a special day". I make it with traditional frosting. Recently, this frosting made its rounds around the blog world as "the world's best frosting". I've been making it for decades. The icing is my favorite. $25

Pulled Pork -- This is made from pork shoulder which is oven slow roasted for 10 hours minimum. The barbecue sauce is then added and the barbecue is simmered again. The quart (32 oz) should serve 8 (4 oz servings). 1/2 quart $9, quart $16
Coleslaw -- Coleslaw is made with green and red cabbage along with red onion, carrots, and a creamy sauce. The coleslaw is great on top of the barbecue or as a side dish. It's great. $7 quart
Macaroni Salad -- This macaroni salad is a old Weisenburger recipe. My family loves it. The salad has pasta, olives, red onion and diced pickles in a tangy creamy sauce. That did not sound that appealing, but most people love it. (Disclaimer: I do not eat pickles, nor olives, so this isn't my favorite, but I do find myself eating a little.) 1/2 quart $4, quart $7
Baked Beans -- My baked beans are loved by many. They are the perfect accompaniment for a casual meal. I was teased a little about the comment about the gentleman running a mile in the rain for these beans until the person actually tasted them. I didn't hear anything after that. Quart $6

Tomato Basil Soup -- I love making tomato soup. It's been a slow, slow year for tomatoes, but I'm hoping they will be available for the big soup making day. I went on a journey for the best tomato basil soup and you may have the result. It tastes like fresh tomatoes, boasts of fresh basil, and other vegetables. Then just the right amount of cream is added to make this the perfect summer meal. 1/2 quart $4, Quart $7
Italian Bread -- This round Italian loaf goes perfectly with the tomato soup. It's one of my favorites! $5 round loaf
Chicken Lemon Basil Salad -- This is my signature summer salad. It just screams summer. Chicken with pasta with cucumber, red onions, and grape tomatoes in a fresh lemon and basil sauce. Quart $7
Strawberry Lime Shortcake with Coconut Cream -- Moist sour cream pound cake with cut strawberries and just a hint of lime. All topped with a coconut whipped cream. This is a fresh spin on an old favorite. This dessert comes "de-constructed" so that you can put it together at your convenience. $22
