Shelly Cramer - aka "Miss Shelly" is our southern belle. You will usually find her at a register, charming all of our customers! However, lately, she has found her calling in the kitchen, dolling out samples and selling tons of sauces - must be all that Southern hospitality! The Soda Stream machine is probably her favorite product in the store - she even permanently "borrowed" her son's! Shelly is always thinking about the rest of the staff - bringing it trail mix every day during this crazy Christmas retail season!

Sweet Potato Hash, with Poached Egg and Spicy Hollandaise
7 months ago
I made this on Sunday as a Brunch item for my kids and
In-Laws. It is from a recipe from Better
Homes and Gardens – and is a TOTAL keeper!
It was super simple to make, and really tasty! For more great recipes, check out my food blog : Everydayeasygourmet.blogspot.com
Ingredients:
8 slices thick cut bacon
3 medium sweet potatoes, cubed into ½ inch pieces, skin on.
1 medium onion, chopped
4 tbs maple syrup
2 tbs apple cider vinegar
6 eggs
1 cup milk
1 pkg Hollandaise sauce
4 tbs butter
1 tbs chipotle petter in adobo sauce, minced
1) In
a 12 inch skillet, cook bacon until crisp, drain on paper towel, and
chop/crumble. Drain all but 3 tsp of
drippings from skillet. While you are
cooking the bacon, boil cubed sweet potatoes until tender, about 5 minutes or
so.
2) In
skillet, cook onion until tender in bacon drippings. Add sweet potatoes, and cook until potatoes
begin to crisp and brown, stirring constantly.
Transfer potato, onion mixture to bowl, add bacon crumbles, salt and
pepper to taste, maple syrup, and keep warm.
3) In
a small sauce pan, make Hollandaise as instructed – whisk with one cup milk,
and 4 tbs butter, bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, whisking constantly, until sauce thickens. Add chipotle pepper, and turn heat to very
low, just enough to keep it warm.
4) Fill
a 12 inch skillet ½ full with water, add vinegar, and bring to a boil. Break eggs into a coffee cup one at a time,
and gently slide them into the boiling water.
Gently loosen from the bottom with a slotted spoon, and cook till yolk
is set, but not hard, about 3 minutes.
Remove from water with slotted spoon, serve over hash and top with
Hollandaise sauce.
We served this with pumpkin/cream cheese stuffed French
Toast, and a fresh fruit/ granola yogurt parfait. It was a great brunch!
Dan’s Creamy Roasted Chicken with Sundried Tomatoes, Green Olives, and Goat Cheese!
7 months ago
We had ½ of a leftover roasted chicken in the refrigerator
from the night before, so I decided to whip something up with whatever I could
find in the fridge….. and this is what I came up with. All measurements are approximate, since I
didn’t really write anything down as I made it…..
Ingredients:
3 cups leftover cooked chicken rough chopped. (or about 2 skinless
breasts which can be baked or sautéed)
½ cup sun dried tomatoes in oil – rough chopped, drained.
¼ cup diced green olives (kalamata olives would work fine as
well, but I added the green for color)
3 TBS olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, minced
pinch red pepper flakes (optional, but essential…lol)
1 tsp Thyme
1 tsp Basil
1 cup chicken broth
1/3 – 1/2 cup half and half
¼ cup white wine
1 cup crumbled goat cheese, divided
In a medium sauté pan, heat olive oil on med-high heat till
shimmering. Add garlic and shallots,
cook till just starting to brown. Add
tomatoes, olives and chicken. Stir
continuously, until chicken is warmed up.
Add chicken broth, wine, thyme, basil and red pepper flakes. Simmer until the broth reduces – about 4 or 5
minutes. Add cream, and 2/3 of the goat
cheese, and simmer gently until sauce begins to thicken – again, about 4 or 5
minutes.
Serve over linguine, and top with remaining cheese, a small
green salad, and a nice Chardonnay…….
Bon Appetit!

Jodi Higgins - shown here with a few of her absolute favorite items - a Jet Sponge, and ISlice, some awesome plastic spreaders and of course, the infamous Stem Gem! Jodi LOVES to shop with our customers - and, in fact, IS one of our best customers!! I think she owns one of almost everything we have! ( probably about 5 Jet Sponges....) so you know she will know the answer to any questions you have!
She started at the Goose last Christmas as a part time Christmas Elf, and is now one of our best people on the floor! when Jodi is working, everyone is smiling!
Jodi is a great cook, and one of these days, I will be able to get her to teach a cooking class or two - she has been threatening to teach a WOK class - and we are all hoping she will! Even better - a class showing how she makes her cake balls.... boy are THEY good!
Stop in and say hello - be be forewarned - you probably will be leaving with a Jet Sponge and a Stem Gem!

Josh Harris - Josh is a recent addition to our staff this summer. He's a multi talented young man who likes to cook, garden, paint, - and a musician to boot! He is very outgoing, and you usually will find him on the floor chatting with customers. Josh is our Le Creuset expert - he knows the product inside and out, and is great at explaining the benefits and uses of all the different types of pans and French Ovens. Occasionally you will find Josh in the kitchen whipping up samples on weekends as well. If he isn't at the Cookery, he sometimes is at our sister store, Gray Goose, Too! as well. Stop by and say hello!

The potato chip maker, on the weekly specials page, is awesome. We have been making chips on it all week, and people LOVE them! What a great way to make fat free chips! This would be perfect - and save money - for dorm room munchies!!
Anyway, that's it for today - I will play around with this some more this week!
