Why do our mussels get extra plump and sweet when the weather gets cold outside? We aren’t really sure, but they are.
A steaming hot Shrimp Scampi. Garlic, lemon, white wine, over homemade pasta. We feel like mentioning that the bowl was made by the late and fantastic potter Mike Stratakis.
There is a difference between being snowed in, and being snowed in with a tray of Sweet Basil’s Rosemary Chicken.
We are getting ready to wrap up our orders for December 23rd. If you’re thinking about any of our Family Style trays the link is in the bio. We are looking to stop taking the orders at around 8pm tonight.
Just a heads up!! If you are@wanting a tray of Parms or Rosemary Chicken or any of the faves for the holidays, tomorrow at 8 o’clock is the cut off for bulk orders on the 23rd. The link is in the bio.

Eggplant Parmigiana! Volante Farms just rolled up with a bunch of the most colorful eggplants. There’s probably going to be a few things with eggplant until Mother Nature slows down for the season.
