Thanks for Shopping Locally - Shopping locally has a dramatic effect within our community. For every dollar spent at a local, independent retailer like ours, an extra quarter stays in the community compared to businesses with ownership outside of our community. It's a gift to the community, too, when you shop locally.
Thank you for your patronage of our small, locally owned business!

 You've Got It Made: Deliciously Easy Meals to Make Now and Bake Later by Diane Phillips. Published by Harvard Common Press, Boston, MA. Copyright 2008.
Cookbook
No matter what time of year it is, when we know there is a busy "crunch time" ahead, we call upon the Diva of Do-Ahead, Diane Phillips. Ms. Phillips has perfected the art of serving great food effortlessly with her do-ahead strategies. Through her research, she has identified what foods freeze well, or will keep waiting in the refrigerator without affecting the final taste or appearance.
This book focuses on wholesome, everyday meals that are ready for those busier days when time is at a premium. She begins with an explanation of general do-ahead strategies, then applies those principles to appetizers, pasta and grain bakes, hot dishes, main dishes for meat, poultry, and seafood. Side dishes and desserts round out the book. The recipes presented, while streamlined and staged, focus on maximum flavor. Once you become familiar with Ms. Phillips' do-ahead mindset, you'll quickly become a pro at thinking ahead and being ready for each day, or for easy entertaining all year long.

Our Favorite Artichoke and Spinach Dip
View & Print

We love hot dips and spreads this time of year! They easily make the appetizer hour an upgraded affair. And, we especially love artichoke dips. This variation is easy to assemble and tastes great! We recommend making a double batch and freezing several containers. You'll be ready for company anytime!

Tarragon Chicken Bake
View & Print

Calling upon a classic French combination, tarragon, mustard, and cream, this do-ahead casserole is great for the family or for company. Resting on a bed of noodles, sautéed chicken breasts are covered in a sauce that transforms ordinary ingredients into an extraordinary delicious entrée. Paired with a green salad, dinner is ready!

Chocolate Lava Cakes
View & Print

Who doesn't love a chocolate dessert? These nearly flourless cakes are baked in individual ramekins and hold a secret center of melted chocolate. We took Ms. Phillips' advice and served it in a puddle of fresh raspberry puree, then crowned it with a dollop of whipped cream. Having this elegant, yet easy, dessert in the freezer, ready to go at a moment's notice, is a host's dream.
