Week of December 22, 2014 - Weekly Meal Ideas


Christmas week is here!  Our wish for you this Christmas is you have a chance to slow down, relax and savor all of your blessings!  And, of course, the holiday wouldn’t be complete without enjoying some great-tasting REAL food!  Whether you are feeding a small army or just a few, we have included some crowd pleasers this week such as the Winter Vegetable Soup and the Slow Cooker Chicken Pho – both of these are perfect comfort meals and delicious too!

For your holiday meal, get festive with the Cookie Cutter Roasted Vegetables, the Christmas Tree Salad or, better yet, the Christmas Burger wraps the flavor of the holiday all into one burger!  The Cinnamon Raisin French Toast Bake is one of my favorite breakfasts, especially for a leisurely morning treat.  It can easily be made the night before and would be great on Christmas morning with a hot cup of coffee!

Merry Christmas and thank you for supporting Get REAL Wichita!


THE REAL DEALS!

This Saturday, December 20th is the last Indoor Winter Farmer’s Market of 2014!  Use your coupons and get some last minute gifts from 8 AM to 1 PM at the Sedgwick County Extension office at 21st and Ridge — or use this as an opportunity to stock up on some grass-fed beef, venison, lamb, and there might even be a few produce surprises like sweet potatoes and even some greens!  Catch the next indoor winter market on Saturday, January 24th!

  • Steve’s Jams and Jellies has holiday gift packs for their wide variety of delicious jams!
  • Have you tried Little Bits cookies?  They are perfect for the holiday and Greg Cole has gift sets ready to go!
  • Grass-fed beef from Graze the Prairie or venison from Farmer’s Fallow Deer — either would be ideal for the Christmas Burger!
  • Pick up some chicken or eggs from Phil’s Farm or better yet, sausage for the Butternut Squash Noodles with Sausage, Kale and Mushrooms!

LOCAL CELEBRATIONS!

Public at the Brickyard is having a Christmas Eve Eve Party…of course on December 23rd!  Their kitchen will close to the public at 8 PM on December 23rd and the doors will open at 8:30 PM!  There will be music from Jeremy Spring of Abandon Kansas, The Travel Guide, Jenny Wood & Aaron Lee Martin starting at 9 pm and Public will be serving pizzas until 10 PM!  Admission is only $5 and all of the money raised at the door will go straight to the musicians!  Sounds like a great way to celebrate the holiday!

Be on the lookout for opportunities to ring in the New Year!  In case you are already thinking about this, a great idea would be to celebrate the end of 2014 with Taste and See!  On New Year’s Eve, from 10 PM to 2 AM, enjoy live music, tapas and a champagne toast for $50.  Reservations are required so reserve your spot soon – call 316-260-4233!
