Greetings of Gratitude!  Though this day is a cold and dreary one, I am still filled with a feeling of hope and thankfullness for all that surrounds me and my life.  I fed people here yesterday and sent a handful away on their travels with Enchanted spreads to grace the Thanksgiving table.  Today I give thanks for a 4 day break, starting with my son’s Thankful Tuesday celebration at the Friends school at 11 am.  The beauty of 60 families coming together for food, community and song fills my heart with Joy!

This week, the cafe will be closed from Tuesday through Friday, so that Amanda, Maura and I can share time with our friends and family…giving thanks and enjoying the bounties of our Earth.  We wish you an Abundant week filled with all that you love and cherish and look forward to feeding you again on Monday the 28th.

In Gratitude…April

It’s mid-August and that means bushels and bushels of sweet and juicy peaches from Mc’Nitt’s farm! We are stockpiling them in the hopes of being able to serve you peaches all year long. We are super excited to be creating new recipes highlighting these delectable fruits.

Currently we are serving a new Curried Almond pate in a sprouted grain tortilla, with red peppers, creamy avocado, carrots and spinach, then topped with a Minted Peach Salsa. We’ve been met with resounding YUMMMMMMM!! from everyone who has ordered this. It comes with a side salad accompanied by our Mango Vinaigrette and to put it over the top, add a cup of our Raw Red Pepper Bisque. I promise…you will be blown away!

Come and discover the Magick of our local bounty.

It’s officially Summer and for the Enchanted Kitchen, that means the return of ZOODLES!! Our multiple visits to the farmer’s markets yield crisp fresh zucchini, lovely herbs and so many varieties of lettuce, I am beside myself with excitement.

If you’ve never had Zoodles, you are in for a treat. We start with hand-julienned zucchini ‘noodles’, then toss them in our seasonal Mother Earth’s Herbal Vinaigrette, with Sungold tomatoes, red onions and spicy mustard greens. Each day’s order may be a little bit different, as I am drawn to create with whatever food inspires and speaks to me in the moment.

Need some cool refreshment? Try our latest smoothie invention: Choco-Mint Mania! We start with freshly harvested chocolate mint from my garden, blended with hydrating coconut water, raw cacao powder, hempseeds, flaxseeds, coconut oil and just a splash of maple syrup. Truly a masterpiece.

We look forward to sharing the Bounty of the Earth with you!

It’s a Sunny May day in Happy Valley! Amanda is busily preparing lunch for everyone, as I eagerly plan for my return to the cafe in just 2 weeks! It has been necessary to make even more changes to our hours, as my recovery progresses.

Monday-Friday 11am-2:30 pm
Thursday dinners are still on hiatus. At this point, I am unsure of when evening hours will return.

Keep an eye out for some delightful special events coming up, to celebrate our 1 year anniversary!

Peace and Sunny Pate!

Hello and Happy Saturday to all. There is some big news for the Cafe for the upcoming weeks. I will be having surgery on Tuesday, and I have placed the Enchanted Kitchen into the hands of my trusted Cafe manager and partner in food crime, Amanda Pinegar. She will be serving your lunchtime favorites, as well as our new Breakfast items for the weeks to come. Assisting her will be my dear friend Kerri Zelman, with guest appearances by Laura van Velsor and her ADORABLE daughter Ella, as well as lotus center yoga’s own Karen Sapia. These ladies are my trusted crew and will make sure your experiences at the Cafe remain as Enchanted and delicious as usual.

Some changes in our hours have been necessary and are as follows:
Monday through Friday 8:30 am – 2:30 pm
Thursday dinner will be ON HIATUS until at least Mid-May.

I look forward to seeing you all again when I am healed and newly Vibrant!

Happy Spring!
