J — Your guests will never know … that you had just too much turkey taking up space in the fridge. Or, stuffing. Or, too many roasted vegetables. Sandwiches are so last year. Hot Browns? Only if you are at the source in Louisville. What to do? Here are a … Continue reading
C – I always get excited about having leftovers the day after Thanksgiving. The day after Thanksgiving is my lazy day. If I have food leftover, I don’t have to cook much. I just have to figure out how to feed everyone with the stuff that I already have. My … Continue reading
J – This soup is unexpectedly good … and much lighter than you would imagine. That’s the unexpected part. This started out as a “what else can we do with sunchokes” conversation. See, we got all these sunchokes from Scrivner at Azolla Farm … a big mound of them. He … Continue reading

C – I think Luke and Chris are always in fear of leftovers. They never seem to make much. I guess that’s why they are so good at their jobs. Nothing goes to waste this way. When I suggested we make a whole mess of these ranch-style smashed potatoes, Chris … Continue reading
C – This is my new guilty pleasure. Well … for Thanksgiving anyway. Thanksgiving is usually tough for me, especially when I don’t make the food. I love food. I want to try everything. I overeat. If there is something new and interesting, I will probably be the first to … Continue reading
C – I am so grateful Luke and Chris made this wonderful meal for us. I don’t think one person could take on all these things at once. I am always amazed at how well they work together. Calm, cool and collected. Of course, keeping a good stock of beer … Continue reading
