Are you hosting an intimate group rather than a crowd for the holidays? If you're serving a whole tenderloin, as traditionally called for, there may be more leftovers than you want. Consider these easy but impressive individual beef Wellingtons instead. The bulk of the work can even be done the night before, so you have more time to spend with your family and friends!

Sweet, savory, and beautifully nostalgic, this classic baked ham recipe brings old-world comfort back to the center of the table. Slow-glazed with juicy pineapple and vibrant maraschino cherries, the fruit caramelizes in the oven before being transformed into a rich, glossy side to accompany the ham. Perfect for holidays, gatherings, or whenever tradition is on the menu.

A twist on a classic Spanish recipe! This empanada takes your favorite thanksgiving flavors and wraps them in a warm hug of dough with a sweet brown sugar kiss.

The recipe initially appeared in The Kansas City Star and starts with quality bread.
We like Farm to Market's country white bread. The plumpness of dried cherries
complements the ham hocks, but you could substitute craisins, if you prefer. The
original recipe called for pine nuts but added a uniquely Missouri twist by swapping them out for Hammond's black walnuts. Top the dressing with a locally
made goat cheese and you've got a recipe that has been on the recipe tester's
table for nearly two decades and shared by request with numerous family
members.

This decadent grilled cheese sandwich features the punch of our award-winning andouille sausage. the bechamel sauce is made from evaporated milk and Habanero Jack Cheese. We also used local Farm to Market sourdough bread. During the Fall, you could also try the chile cheese sourdough.

A Paradise twist on a classic recipe, using gizzards or livers and bacon. This dish utilizes some lesser known and lesser used proteins making this dirty rice unique and delicious!

Looking for something that looks and feels like steak? Thanks to the reverse sear method, this is the juiciest chop you'll ever sink your teeth into without the windup of brining!!

This recipe is a great way to put the brine from any pickled vegetable to good use. Marinating the drumsticks in the brine adds flavor and tenderness. We prefer panko crumbs for a beautifully even crust. Drizzle, or dip the drumsticks into buffalo wing sauce, because who says hot sauce is only for wings?

Try out this sweet and savory cast iron pork chop recipe sure to tease your taste buds in the best way possible! 

Take your chicken wing game to a new level with herbs, lemon, and garlic aioli!
