🚨 New Recipe Alert! Have you ever had shirred eggs?

(In case you're sayin "huh?!"... Shirred eggs are made with a tiny splash of heavy cream poured over each egg that protects the delicate yolks in the oven, creating an ultra-velvety, rich texture as they bake. Sounds fancy, but it's actually quite easy and delicious!)

Try my new recipe -- Sorghum & Sausage Breakfast Skillet made with 💯 Kansas Sorghum. Guaranteed to up your breakfast game.

📖 Meet Our First Cookbook: The Tables That Built Us

This isn't just a cookbook.

It's a collection of recipes, stories, and traditions from the Southeast Kansas community we call home.

Created in honor of Pittsburg's 150th Anniversary, The Tables That Built Us preserves the flavors and heritage of a town where 53 languages were once spoken. Over the past year, we've gathered recipes from community members, listened to family stories, hosted workshops, and dug into the history behind the dishes that helped shape our region.

Inside you'll find beloved heritage recipes, local history, family memories, and even a few stories involving miners, moonshine, and mobsters.

Whether your roots are in Southeast Kansas or you simply love food with a story behind it, this book offers a seat at a very special table.

❤️ First Edition Copies Are Available for Pre-Order Now

📦 Books are expected to be available for pickup or shipping in November, just in time for the holidays.

⭐ Pre-ordering helps us determine our initial print run and guarantees your copy from the first edition. After books arrive, ordering will remain available while copies last. ⭐

Thank you for helping us preserve the recipes and stories that built our community, one table at a time!
