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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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
