Week of August 15th - August 19th

The week's gotten away from me again :o) Here's the menu for a busy last full week before school starts! Please order before Sunday at 8 pm :o)

Monday, August 15th

Bacon Corn Chowder -- This soup was met with many compliments and requests to put on the menu again. The chowder has a creamy base with three varieties of corn, crispy peppered bacon, a little cheese and potatoes. It's a winner and is comfort food at its finest! Quart $7, Gallon $24

Crescent Rolls -- In my mind you have to have fluffy rolls with any soup, so here you go! 1/2 dozen $4 or dozen $7

Tuesday, August 16th

Pizza Rolls -- These little sweeties are pizza in finger food fashion! These are baked in "pull-apart" fashion. Pepperoni slices with mozzarella cheese inside of pizza dough and rolled into bite size fashion. All topped with an Italian butter mix and Parmesan cheese. You will bake so that you can enjoy them hot! Includes a marinara sauce for dipping. You may consider ordering more than one. They always go fast at my house! 8x6 $12

Caesar Salad -- A great companion to pizza rolls, especially if you are over 14 :o) Includes Caesar dressing. Quart $7, Gallon $24

Seasoned Bread Sticks -- Bread sticks topped with Italian butter mix. These are yummy! 6 for $4

Brownies -- My favorite brownies. They are chocolate-y (made with Italian cocoa), but not too gooey and not too cake-like. Frosted with buttercream or you can order just powdered sugar... I'm not getting into that debate! 9x13 pan $12

Thursday, August 18th

Chicken Alfredo -- Creamy, garlic infused creamy Alfredo sauce with penne pasta (that you have it in the middle of the pasta too!) Added to this luscious-ness is slow roasted chicken and Parmesan cheese. You may have to exercise the next day, but it will be worth it :) 8x6 $12; 9x13 $22

Garlic Knots -- Freshly made rolls with garlic infused into the rolls. Sarah thinks this is the best thing that I make! 1/2 doz $4, Dozen $7

August 8th - August 12th

Hot August nights are upon us. I'm featuring two salads and a soup for next week. I've featured each of these items previously and they have been popular, so hopefully you will enjoy them also!

Monday, August 8th

Chicken Pasta Spinach Salad -- This is a great, light meal. It features corkscrew pasta, spinach, Parmesan cheese, chicken and cashews. This is one of my most requested recipes over the years. If you haven't tried it, I strongly recommend it :o) Quart $7, Gallon $25

Crescent Rolls -- In my mind, you have to have rolls with Chicken Pasta Spinach Salad. These are freshly made and buttered as they come out of the oven. 6 for $4 or $7 per dozen

Tuesday, August 9th

Tortellini Soup -- This is a beef based soup. It has summer vegetables along with spinach and tender tortellini. This is a soup that always gets rave reviews when I serve it. $7 Quart, $25 Gallon

Italian Herb Bread -- This bread is very similar to the bread served at Macaroni Grill. It is great to eat with butter or dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinegar. $4 per large round loaf

Thursday, August 11th

Chicken Oriental Salad -- This recipe is based on the 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, 1 Gallon $25

Parmesan Knots -- Tender, flaky rolls tied in a knot and topped with Parmesan cheese. You will love them. $4for 6 or $7 a dozen

August 1st - August 5th

Man, where does the time go? Where did summer go? To be honest, I'm ready for it to cool down a little. Fall is my favorite season, but we don't have to worry about that for a little while. Here's the menu for next week. I've tried to put in some variety and focus on comfort food :o)

As a side note/reminder: If you have a special event/party/gathering, please let me know. I would love to cater it for you! Don't want to make food for your upcoming camping or Lake Powell trip? I'm your gal! If you are craving something special, give me a call!

Monday, August 1st

Clam Chowder -- I love clam chowder. I've made many a different versions, but this is the best. This chowder has onions, potatoes and clams swimming in a rich creamy base. I put in extra clams, because it's hard to have too many! You'll love it! Quart $7, Gallon $24

Crescent Rolls -- When I made clover rolls (which about half turned into crescent rolls) I remembered how much I loved this roll recipe. It's actually the Lion House roll recipe. They are wonderful! Yum! 1/2 Doz $4, 1 Doz $6

Peanut Butter Crispy Bars -- There is a very popular bakery in New York called Baked. This is one of their most popular recipes. It's an adult version of a rice krispy treat. The bottom "crispy" layer is candied. The next layer is peanut butter and chocolate. The top layer is a thick ganache. I'm pretty sure you will love it :) 8x8 pan $12

Tuesday, August 2nd

Baked Ziti -- This is one of my favorite Italian dishes and one that's easy to transport and re-warm. You will love the garlic tomato sauce with fresh herbs. You'll love the three cheeses. It's the perfect amount of sauce to cheese. Yummy at it's best. A true family pleaser! 8x6 $12, 9x13 $22

Caesar Salad -- Classic Caesar salad with creamy Caesar dressing and croutons. Quart $5, Gallon $18

Garlic Knots -- A firmer roll than Lion House. Perfect with Italian food! Obviously, they have garlic and buttery goodness! 1/2 Doz $4, 1 Doz $6

Thursday, August 4th

Salmon Salad -- Before you turn up your noses at this, think about if I have steered you wrong in the past. This is a great summer salad. It has pasta, salmon, red peppers, onion and Swiss cheese in a unique dressing which boasts a hint of horseradish. I always receive rave reviews on this salad. Served with fresh lemons. Quart $7, Gallon $25

Chocolate Cream Cake -- Many recipients of this cake call it the "ding-dong" cake. Between two luscious layers of chocolate cake is real whipped cream. The cake is surrounded in a fluffy buttercream icing made with Italian cocoa. It is one of my favorites! $25

July 25th - July 28th -- Favorites Week

This week I will be featuring some favorite selections. Sorry about posting late in the week and so close to the 24th weekend! Enjoy!

Monday, July 25th

French Onion Soup -- This is the soup that I think is my best. I went on a quest to make French Onion Soup a couple years ago and am quite proud of the results :o) Slow, carmelized onions in a rich beef broth with French herbs and Demi-Glaze to deepen the flavors. All of this topped with a toasted baugette and a blend of four cheeses. Delicious! I can't wait! $7 quart, $25 gallon

Lemon Tart -- Homemade lemon custard in a shortbread crust. It's a lovely way to end a meal. $15

Tuesday, July 26th

Chili Verde -- I believe that this is the most popular thing that I have made in my little venture. Pork Roast slowly roasted to ensure melt in your mouth tenderness. Chili Verde sauce has fresh onions, green chilis and is simmered for hours to marry the flavors together. Straight Chili Verde: 1/2 Quart $9, 1 Quart $16.

Thursday, July 28th

Creamy Enchiladas -- Slow roasted chicken in a green chili creamy sauce. Rolled in flour soft shells tortillas and smothered in creamy sauce and cheese. Excellent to freeze or to eat! $14 8x6; $25 9x13

Celebrate July 24th with Little or No Cooking :o)

The 24th is on Sunday this year. Whether you are celebrating Saturday or Sunday, you can minimize your time and effort by ordering sides for your celebration activities!

Broccoli Salad -- I know this is a repeat from Friday, but just in case any one wanted this excellent side dish for your celebration, here you go. Fresh broccoli, craisins, cashews, crisp bacon, purple onions in a creamy sauce. If you aren't serving until Sunday, the bacon and cashews can be packaged separately so that you can combine them right before serving. Quart $7

Baked Beans -- It's hard to have a summer barbeque without baked beans. These are killer baked beans. Crisp peppered bacon, sauteed green and red peppers in a sweet and tangy sauce. The beans are slow cooked for hours to perfection. All you have to do is warm up. Quart $6

Potato Salad -- Another classic. Very traditional. Very good. Must have. Quart $6

Red, White & Blue Cupcakes -- Cupcakes topped with red, white and blue (strawberries and blueberries).

The entire thing is topped with a flaky pie crust. 8x6 $13, 9x13 $23

July 11 - July 15

Monday, July 11th

Pork Chops and Rice or Pork Chops with Stuffing -- I love homemade stuffing and love it combined with sauteed pork chops with a creamy sauce on top. I hoard Williamas Sonoma Turkey Herbs every fall and have enough to make the homemade stuffing with them. It's your gain... trust me. The other option is sauteed pork chops on a bed on herbed rice (again my beloved Turkey Herbs) with a creamy sauce. Either is a meal in and of itself :o) A 8x6 has two pork chops for $14, a 13x9 has four - five chops (depending on size) for $24.

Lemon Cupcakes -- In honor of my good friend's birthday, lemon cupcakes are on the menu. These little wonders are several of my friend's favorite thing that I make. Made with fresh lemon juice and frosting so fluffy you will think you are in heaven. $12 dozen or $1.25 each

Wednesday, July 13th

Roasted Shrimp & Orzo -- I've been trying to figure out how to incorporate shrimp into the menu. I was looking through my beloved Barefoot Contessa Cookbooks and remembered this little gem. This is a great main course salad served at room temperature. I couldn't be the only one who just smiles when eating orzo. I hardly ever eat it, but when I do, I love it. It just makes me smile. Orzo is the base of this salad. Also included is roasted shrimp, cucumber, red onion, green onion, feta cheese, fresh lemon and fresh dill. It's dressing base is extra virgin olive oil. This is light, healthy and incredible! I'm so excited to share it with you. If orders are low, it's just more for me :o) Quart $7, Gallon $25

Homemade Breadsticks -- 6 for $3

Fruit Tart -- A shortbread crust with a whipped, creamy center topped with fresh fruit, probably strawberries, kiwi, and blueberries, but it depends on what looks freshest at the store. $15

Thursday, July 14th

Taco Soup -- This is a humble little recipe, but oh so good. I love the flavors and the way they meld together. Made with lean ground beef and homemade refried beans. It also boasts of extra sweet shoepeg corn, sweet onions, homegrown tomatoes (no my garden is not producing, but I did can these beauties last fall). Quart $6, Gallon $22

Taco Soup Fixin's -- Many times by the time I finish taco soup, I don't worry about the fixin's that make it sooo good. To avoid you not getting your maximum enjoyment I am taking care of that for you. Your care package will include a bag of tortilla chips, sour cream, homemade guacamole, sliced green onions, and grated cheddar cheese. Your life, or at least your meal, will be complete. $6

Cornbread -- At the risk of bragging, I make a very, very good cornbread. Its mild and not to "corny". A perfect accompaniment to the taco soup. Served with homemade honey-butter. An 8x6 pan for $7

German Chocolate Cupcakes -- In honor of another friend's birthday German Chocolate Cupcakes are on the menu. Moist German Chocolate Cake with homemade frosting. Weisenburgers don't eat traditional pecans in the frosting. We opt for toasted slivered almonds. I've made this frosting countless times and never had a complaint, so I'm willing to bet that you will love it. All this goodness is topped with a long-stemmed maraschino cherry. $12 dozen or $1.25 each. If you prefer a double layer cake $25
