SUNDAY, FEB 14

Reserve Your Seat Today

6:30 PM

Valentine's weekend is right around the corner! This year we are excited to co-host a gathering with Cool Atlanta at Brick + Mortar on the Westside. Visit the shop listing for full details and complete menu.

To give you a hint, the menu is chocolate inspired! Actually this dinner will have the same menu from the very first gathering Jason and I planned (4 years ago!!!). We went on our first date the following weekend (and the rest is history.... Homespun was born and we go married). Pretty fitting and romantic for Valentine's, right?

Feast of Saint Patrick

March 17, 2015/ Jamie Jimenez

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Though most just think of cornbeef and beer, there are plenty of ways to celebrate this Irish holiday with delicious food. We put together this menu for an editorial with Cottage Hill Magazine. You can see more photos from their journal post yesterday, and today they are sharing our Irish Cream Bread Pudding Recipe along with a video from Hampton Roads Studio (watch below).

“May your troubles be less and your blessings be more and nothing but happiness come through the door.”

This past weekend, Jason had the honor of sharing a recipe from the Kitchen Stage at the Country Living (Magazine) Fair at Stone Mountain Park. As you may be well aware, our approach to food is seasonal- allowing the produce speak for itself and simply bring out its natural flavor. With the holidays around the corner, this dish is sure to be a crowd pleaser and provides an untraditional preparation for the beloved sweet potatoes and brussels sprouts. We recommend serving with Roasted Turkey, Chicken, or Pork. Enjoy!

Procedure

For Glazed Sorghum Sweet Potatoes*

Preheat Oven to 400 F.

Place an oven safe large saute pan (I always use this Lodge 12-inch Skillet) on stove top, add grapeseed oil. Begin placing the sweet potatoes flat in the pan and begin searing them once the pan is hot. About 3-4 minutes
Add butter, sorghum*, and stock. Season with salt and pepper and rosemary sprig. Allow to come to a boil and then place in the oven for about 8-10 min. If you can't source sorghum you can substitute with honey or molasses syrup.
Once sweet potatoes are tender carefully remove from oven and flip sweet potatoes over. Place pan back onto the stove and reduce to glaze the sweet potatoes. Once glazed, set aside to reserve.

* This step can be done before and reheated in the oven for 8 - 10 minutes before serving.

For Brussels and Apple Saute

Begin heating up a large saute pan over medium heat.
To begin sauteing, add grapeseed oil and brussels bulbs to caramelize. About 2-3 minutes.
Then add butter, apples, onions, and garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes. Be sure to stir and rotate veggies periodically.
Stir in brussels leaves then add stock. Season with salt, black pepper, and drizzle sherry vinegar.

To Assemble Dish

Spread apple butter on the bottom of a large platter. Layer glazed sweet potatoes around the edge. Place sautéed brussels and apples in the middle finish with chopped parsley OR
Spread apple butter on the bottom of a large platter. Fill the dish with sautéed brussels and apples, top with glazed sweet potatoes and garnish with chopped parsley (as seen in photo).
