Happy Labor Day

And happy day off if you’re one of the lucky ones who was gifted this extra Monday!

If you’re like us, you’re working to help make everyone ELSE’S day off more enjoyable and we don’t mind that AT ALL! Being of service to others is one of the things that makes us happiest.

That being said, we now know for next year that this little holiday weekend is apparently a BIG DEAL because this weekend was WAY beyond anything we expected in terms of how busy we would be! WOWZERS!

And while we’d love to tell you that Chef Bob and I pulled an all nighter in the kitchen last night to catch up, the truth is we did NOT!

Sometimes you just have to be okay with where you are, do the best you can, and accept that you are, in fact, only human. Shocking, I know. 🤣🤷‍♀️

Today is also our BIGGEST RED DOT DAY of the week, IYKYK, and because we’ll be closed for the next two days, things may disappear from the shelves a little faster than normal.

We’re also only open until 3pm today, so Chef Bob isn’t starting any giant kitchen productions. Instead, he’s getting himself organized for two BIG prep days tomorrow and Wednesday so we can catch up, fully restock and be ready to hit Thursday running!

We DO have two exciting BRAND NEW things for you to try today!

Smoked Sea Scallops Wrapped in Bacon
And our Specialty Chicken Tarragon Mousse which btw is absolutely fantastic on a sandwich, spread on crackers, or, if you’re me, eaten directly off the spoon.

One of my FAVORITES!

Hot soups today are:
Roasted Red Pepper Corn Chowder
Chili Con Carne

And of course, we have plenty of other delicious options waiting for you in the fridge and freezer.

It’s going to be a spectacular day of sunshine and smiles So here’s to a day of taking a much deserved break if you can, finding the joy in the service you provide if you can’t and creating magic no matter what!

Happy Sunday

I’m sure glad we were fully stocked yesterday because we were a lot busier than anticipated!!! THANK YOU - again the amount of NEW faces that continue to walk through our doors is simply AMAZING especially because often times we hear “oh so and so told me I HAD to come in!!!” Which means YOU are spreading the word about our little specialty shop that literally has a little something for everyone! Again we thank you for the continued love and support of our dream.

Today, again no expectations with Mother Nature playing some freak peek a boo game of a sprinkle here and there throughout the day but we are here and again fully stocked and ready to go.

With catering orders being our #1 priority today we still have plenty to choose from with more coming out so if you’re in the mood for

Smoked Salmon
Pecan Crusted Salmon
Chicken Cacciatore over pasta
Beef & Black Bean Burritos
Chicken OR Beef & Biscuit Pot Pie
Roast Pork with Apricot Dijon Pan Gravy
Shrimp & Egg Fried Rice
Pork Fried Rice
BBA Pulled Pork with Mac & Cheese
And quite a bit more, then we’ve got you covered!

Back in stock are our Maple Cream Fruit Parfaits made in collaboration with Brothers&Son’s maple cream and Arethusa Yogurt - sooo good that people are buying up the maple cream to make them at home!

Hot soups today are
Chili Con Carne
Cream of Tomato
With plenty of other options in both the fridge and freezer!

And WOW, the Pumpkin Chai Kombucha - I knew you’d love it but enough to need to reorder already? Yes, please!

It’s our short day - only 10 to 4 so if you have plans to make it a lazy day maybe get all your stuff done early so you can get back home, change back into comfy clothes and enjoy a day of doing whatever it is that sets your soul on fire!

Here’s to another beautiful day of creating pure magic!

Happy Saturday

And a long weekend for many and though we have NO idea what to expect this weekend as it’s our first Labor Day weekend here we are prepped and ready for just about anything!

Well maybe not the zombie apocalypse but if we can temp them with our food then well maybe 🤷‍♀️

Hot Soups today are (2 of my faves)
Mulligatawny
Minestrone
(We also have quite the variety ready to grab and go or can be heated up while you wait)

Today the cases are full with everything from

Meatballs & Marinara with or without pasta
Lobster Mac & Cheese (in the running to take 2nd place over our Bacon White Cheddar Mac with original still taking #1)
Chicken & Gravy over rice
Roast Beef Dinner
Sausage & Peppers
Meatloaf Dinners and so much more!

Chef Bob is working on some VERY SPECIAL dishes for later that include Pork Loin, Scallops and also a Pecan Crusted Salmon dish - oh my!!!!

Litchfield Locker loaded us up with FRESH Ribeyes, Sirloins, Sausage (Hot, Sweet & Andouille) Chicken and of course if you’re feeling like a grill master whole tenderloins!!!

And something NEW for all those Pumpkin lovers - PUMPKIN CHAI KOMBUCHA!!! And boy is it delish!

Fresh Cheesecake and Chocolate Cheesecake are in the case and if we’re lucky our infamous Carrot Cake will be back as soon as Chef Bob is done juggling 444 others things in the kitchen. (Iykyk)

I know there is A LOT going on today just in our little town alone so we’ll be here from 10am to 6 with the expectation that whether you are here or somewhere else that you are enjoying your day doing what you love most!

Here’s to having a spectacular day full of sunshine, appreciation and pure love for the life you get to create!

Happy Friday Ya’ll!

First, I just want to say THANK YOU to every single person who came in, called, messaged, or commented on my timeline yesterday to sing, dance, laugh, and celebrate my birthday with me! You guys absolutely made my day with all of your antics, and I appreciate every single one of you!

I’m still feeling all that birthday love from my community, and honestly, it feels amazing!

You guys really are the best!

Now, onto today because we all know Friday around here means one thing, FRESH BREAD!

And today we’ve got soft, scrumptious Focaccia baguettes coming out of the kitchen. Basically, carbs doing exactly what carbs were put on this earth to do.

Hot soups? Yep, we’ve got those too!
New England Clam Chowder
Vegetarian Lentil

And the entree case is packed with plenty to choose from:
Grilled Pork Chops with Sweet Sauerkraut
Sausage & Peppers
Shrimp Newburgh with Wild Rice
MORE Shepherd’s Pie - both Chicken & Beef because summer weather doesn’t seem to matter around here for certain things 🤣
BBQ St. Louis Ribs
Hickory Smoked Dry Rubbed Ribs
Meatloaf Dinners
And plenty more!

We’ve also got a couple of specialty salads today:

Caprese
Orzo Veggie Pasta Salad

And because life is always better when dessert is involved:

Chocolate Banana Bread Pudding
Mixed Berry Pies and you know we have MORE!

We have LOTS of catering going out today and through Monday, so remember, if you don’t see something you’re looking for, never be afraid to ask! We may very well have it tucked away in the back OR Chef Bob may be able to whip something up for you, within reason, of course. I mean, he’s good, but let’s not get carried away.

We also have LOTS of items throughout the store currently 50% OFF as we make room for more fabulous retail, so be sure to wander around and see what catches your eye.

And maybe that’s what I love most about this little place we’ve created. It’s never just about the food.

It’s the people who walk through the door, the conversations, the laughs, the unexpected connections and all the things we didn’t plan for that somehow become the best parts of the day.

And somehow, when you step back and look at it all, there’s this little bit of magic that weaves it all together.

And we’re pretty lucky to get to experience it with all of you.

Make it a magical day!

Happy Thursday Ya’ll

And because today is my birthday, I’m going to take full advantage of that fact and ask for a very special favor for the month of September.

If you know me, you know how much I LOVE animals. So imagine my excitement when I found out that we have an animal sanctuary right down the road from our store! Naturally, I immediately decided that we needed to help.

Sooooo, meet Annabelle and Baxter, two beautiful cows who reside at Pinney Stables .

For the month of September, we’d love to help sponsor their medical and dietary needs, and we’d be incredibly grateful if you’d consider helping us.

If you’re feeling generous and have a little extra change when you’re checking out, you can toss it into our donation jar and help us help them. And if monetary donations simply aren’t in the cards right now, that’s absolutely okay. Just Share information about the sanctuary. 🙏🏻

Now, back to what we’ve got going on at the shop today!

Though one of our cases was completely EMPTY by Monday afternoon, Chef Bob and our trainees have been busting their tails learning, cooking and restocking as quickly as humanly possible.

We truly appreciate your patience as everyone gets their feet under them. There is a LOT to learn around here, and apparently we have decided that throwing them into the deep end is the best way to teach!

Today’s prepared foods include:
Lobster Mac & Cheese
Chicken & Biscuit Pot Pie
Beef Burgundy over Egg Noodles
Mac & Cheese
Chicken AND Beef Shepherd’s Pie
Fresh Roasted Vegetables
Beef & Biscuit Shepherd’s Pie
Veggie Fried Rice
Pork Fried Rice
Shrimp Fried Rice
Pot Pies

And yes, we have HOT SOUP today, even though we’re possibly going to hit 80 degrees because nothing says September in Connecticut quite like sweating while eating soup.

Today’s soups:
Creamy Chicken & Rice
Chicken & Black Bean Chili

We’re a little light on fresh produce this week because, well what didn’t sell we fed to the pigs. They were VERY appreciative customers.

Our specialty salads have also taken a little bit of a back seat while we focus on getting our new staff trained on the things that need our attention first.

With a VERY busy catering weekend ahead, we’re keeping it simple with Potato Salad, Coleslaw, Tuna Salad and Chicken Salad and MAYBE a surprise or too if Bob has extra time 🤣

We thank you, as always, for your continued support, patience and love for us and our little shop. We truly couldn’t do this without you, and we can’t wait to show you what’s coming next. We just need to let our new staff get settled before we throw anything else at them!

And finally, because it IS my birthday, I’ll leave you with this little piece of wisdom I’ve learned through my own evolution over the years.

It really does only get better when you allow it to.

Not because everything suddenly becomes perfect or goes exactly as planned, but because we learn to stop fighting the movement, trust the process and allow life to unfold in ways we couldn’t have imagined.

So yes, it’s a beautiful day today. Not just because it’s my birthday, but because I know without a doubt that the best parts are still unfolding.

And that, my friends, is a pretty darn good birthday gift.

Happy Monday

And because we got hammered all weekend (as in SUPER BUSY) we are pretty wiped out and doing the best we can to restock.

We have a few NEW entrees coming out very soon (most likely before we open)

Shrimp Newburgh over wild rice
Balsamic Pest Chicken with or without pasta and
Chicken Parmesan with or without pasta

But you know Chef Bob, the never ending energizer bunny, he’ll have those cases filled in no time!

We still have plenty of red dots today that include entrees, specialty salads, wraps, green salads and baked goods
So don’t worry you bargain shoppers!

And to make up for the “we had no idea how busy we’d be this weekend” Chef Bob has surprised us all with starting FRESH SOUPS TODAY instead of on the 1st! Woohooooo!

Hot soups today are
Vegetarian Lentil
Cream of Mushroom

Ready to go in the cold case are
Chicken & Black Bean Chili
Vegetarian Lentil
Cream of Mushroom

I know you’re jumping for joy right now especially with the expected rain this week!

Remember TODAY is the last day to put any Labor Day orders in and as always we’ll do our best to have some extras in the case on the holiday but no guarantees!

Here’s to a morning filled with appreciation and gratitude for the sun, the smiles, the health and happiness of all we know (and even those we don’t) today is a fantastic day to be the change you wish to see in the world so go be it!

We’re here from 10 to 6 today so if you’re in the area stop in for some comfort food and a little comfort for your soul too.

Just a heads up for our upcoming Labor Day Hours for the store.

10am to 3:00ish

That means if ya’ll keep showing up, we’ll stay open but if we find ourselves with too much time to watch the hummingbirds we’ll take that as cue to make it an early day and enjoy some R & R.

Please make sure all catering orders are picked up by 3:00pm or the time you chose upon ordering.

Happy Sunday Ya’ll!

First, let me just say WOW!

Ya’ll sure did show up yesterday, and the number of NEW faces that continue to walk through our doors absolutely blows us away! From local folks who literally live within a mile of us to those who have heard about our little slice of heaven and decided to make us part of their Saturday destination, we THANK YOU!

We truly are more than just a market that sells food made from scratch. We’ve also become home to some pretty incredible artisans who bring in beautiful, one of a kind treasures, all curated and created with love for that special someone in your life, which, by the way, could absolutely be YOURSELF. We fully support buying yourself whatever it is that makes YOU happy!

Today is looking to be another incredible day, and we’ve got Chef Bob and Molly in the kitchen prepping, prepping and, well, PREPPING!

Because Sunday is our short day, we won’t have quite as many NEW entrees coming out but we sure do have some goodies already waiting for you:

Grilled Atlantic Salmon or Smoked Salmon
Salmon Florentine
Cheese Ravioli with Marinara
Eggplant Parmesan
Chicken Tender Cacciatore
Grilled Chicken Teriyaki
Shepherd’s Pie
Asian Steak Skewers
Chicken & Gravy over Rice

And then there are some rather surprising RED DOTS today, including:

BBQ Pulled Pork
Kielbasa with Potatoes, Onions & Peppers
Pulled Pork Stuffed Peppers with Jack Cheese & Frizzled Onions
And Kimmy’s Cheesecake, 😱 LIKE WHAT? Thankfully she’s not here to see it or she may have taken it personally. 🤣

Coming out shortly for all of our seafood lovers:

Cod Italiano with Wild Rice Pilaf
Sautéed Cod Loin in Lemon Sauce

And remember, TOMORROW is the LAST DAY to finalize any LABOR DAY catering orders. So if you need us, please reach out by calling the store or shooting us an email. We’d love to feed your people so you can actually enjoy your holiday instead of spending it elbow deep in potato salad.

If you haven’t perused our website yet, feel free to see what we’re all about, including the NEW section, Klarity, which is my business beyond Kelly’s Kitchen Take 2. (Iykyk)

www.kktake2.com

And as we head into another beautiful day, here’s your little Sunday reminder from me:

YOU get to decide what matters, which thoughts you give your attention to and which ones you let wander right on by. It all starts from within. Take the time to harness your inner world and watch what can happen when you stop giving all your energy to the things that don’t deserve it.

And I promise, you won’t be disappointed in what you find there because it’s YOU.

We’re here today from 10 to 4 so come see us, grab something delicious, wander around, say hello and enjoy the magic of a Sunday at Kelly’s Kitchen Take 2.

Have a MAGICAL day.
