Last T.O.T of 2009

As we finish up our delightful Thanksgiving holiday, I have become aware of several impending "to do's" on my list:

1. I need to begin my Christmas shopping
2. Contemplate when I will send out some sort of card with my children's picture (I'm thinking it's going to be a Valentine card this year)
3. Decorate the house for Christmas
4. Start planning menus for upcoming Christmas parties
5. Come up with a menu for the last Take Off Thursday of 2009 - this upcoming Thursday December 3, 2009.

Happiness Is...

I have long believed that Chicken Pot Pie was synonymous with happiness. Even the most petulant of old buggers couldn't stay grumpy for long after consuming Chicken Pot Pie.

So imagine my surprise back in 1992 when I made Chicken Pot Pie for my boyfriend (now husband) who promptly looked at me and said "I'll be honest - I don't really like Chicken Pot Pie".

Huh? Are you kidding? Who doesn't like Chicken Pot Pie?!!!

Sounding a little like Sam in Green Eggs and Ham, I found myself begging:  "Try it! Try it! You will see!!"  And he did. And he was happy.  I was happy... and once again all was well with the world.

Here we are many years later with a house full of happy little Chicken Pot Pie lovers.

Time to get yourself a little happiness on a plate.  

Chicken Pot Pie

Chunks of roasted chicken and vegetables in a divine herb sauce.  Made with love, made from scratch down to the buttery flaky crust on top.

Small (feeds 1-2) 18.00    Medium (feeds 3-4)  35.00  
 Large (feeds (5-6) 52.00

Perfect for your little Trick or Treaters, pull out of the freezer during a Saturday afternoon football game,  take it to the mountains or deliver a little happiness to a friend.

Please place your order before 12 Noon on Wednesday October 14th. Pick up anytime after 12 Noon on Thursday October 15th!

T.O.T July 23rd Chicken Divan Crepes & Spinach Salad with Strawberries in Warm Bacon Dressing

Crepes. When was the last time you had a crepe?
While watching a cooking program featuring crepes the other day - I asked myself that very question and immediately knew the answer.

The Magic Pan.

My thoughts wondered back to memories of shopping for "back to school clothes" and then lunching at The Magic Pan.

I am sure they offered many delicious crepes - but no matter how hard I tried to broaden my ordering horizon - I could never get past the Chicken Divan Crepes. Heaven on a plate!

So - I was inspired - and according to my panel of taste testers it was quite a divine (or divan) inspiration!

Chicken Divan Crepe
Handmade crepe stuffed with fresh broccoli and roasted chicken in a light sherry cream sauce.

Spinach Salad in a Warm Bacon Dressing
Baby spinach topped with fresh strawberries & thinly sliced red onions

Crepe 8.00 each
Salad 4.00 pp

Please place your order before 10 a.m. on Wednesday July 22nd. Pick up is anytime after 12 Noon on Thursday July 23rd. The crepes WILL keep for a couple of days, so if you have plans on Thursday - save them for Friday or Saturday!

Additionally - MANY, MANY thanks to all of you who have shared my name and number with your friends and families, and forwarded this website along! Because all of our marketing is done strictly through word of mouth - I am very thankful and appreciative!! Cheers!

If you have any questions about ordering, portions, etc. - please email me at rwmclennan@gmail.com

McLennan FEAR FACTOR

This is the time of year I get inspired to create new and interesting dishes.
I love surprising my family with things that aren’t typically served here.

As a result, we occasionally play a little food game at our house called
“McLennan Fear Factor”.

No slimy bugs or anything crazy – but sometimes a fun little game can encourage someone (adults included)
to try a food or flavors they would not ordinarily try.
Because the McLennan’s always taste test

(for adults and children alike) our Take Off Thursday menus,
I was interested to see the response for this week’s menu.
I must say – I got some raised eyebrows over this one…something new indeed~

Their hesitation didn’t last long when they began to smell the smells coming from the kitchen!
Then the moans after the first bite…

Hello all! Hope everyone has enjoyed the divine weather which has been hovering over Atlanta for the last few days!

I will be catering three parties this weekend which means no Take Off Thursday for April 30th. I will miss the smiling faces and socializing this Thursday...

However, I do love a party!!

Thank you to all who voted for our next Thursday menu and I am excited to say that the votes are in and we have a clear winner for Take Off Thursday May 7th and a McLennan FAVORITE!!

You certainly do not have to order all 3 dishes - this is a "pick and choose" menu - however, the combined flavors are divine:

Grilled Dijon Pork Tenderloin with Horseradish Sauce

Goat Cheese & Thyme Grits

Cucumber & Tomato Summer Salad in a Balsamic Vinaigrette

I hope everyone has a fabulous week & I hope to see you on Thursday May 7th!

Cheers
