We're reminded, around this time each year, to give thanks. And while the obvious and well deserved gratitude is most often aimed at family, friends, health and well being, this year we'd like to recognize some of the less obvious people, places and things that make our day, all year long.

We're grateful for local, organic food and our community farmers who care about the earth and the food they produce. We’re grateful for the growing popularity of the local food movement, and for those who strive to make fresh, organic foods available to everyone, even in remote areas. And we're thankful for our extended family – you. It is truly our pleasure to serve your children each and every day, and a thrill to watch them enjoy eating fresh and nourishing meals at school.

Thanksgiving Leftovers:
The Classic Turkey Sandwich

With back-to-basics en vogue this season, we’re paying homage to that free-range, farm-raised turkey you lovingly roasted, with a simple, honest, classic turkey sandwich and homemade tarragon mayonnaise. It’s good; it's quick; it's healthy; and it’s better than the anything-goes, turkey surprise your neighbor is probably cooking right now.

Full Recipe...

Spaghetti and Meatballs

House-made meatballs using all-natural turkey and our custom blend of Italian seasonings. We oven-brown them and gently simmer them in our "sneaky" marinara. Tossed with spaghetti and a sprinkling of parmesan cheese.

Shepherd's Pie

Comfort food at its best! All-natural, seasoned ground turkey, mixed veggies, topped with creamy, cheesy mashed potatoes.

Loaded Baked Potato Skins

We hollow out Russet potatoes, stuff them with a blend of cheese, all-natural and nitrate free bacon, and broccoli then roast them for extra crispiness. Yum!
