Fan Favorite #1
The Legend
Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Velvety, rich, and packed with chopped broccoli and shredded carrots. The secret lies in using sharp cheddar (not mild) and a touch of nutmeg to elevate the cheese sauce base. Matches perfectly with a French Baguette.

Best Seller
Fresh & Zesty
Green Goddess Cobb
It's all about the dressing. A creamy herb-filled blend of basil, parsley, tarragon, and greek yogurt. We pair it with pickled red onions (recipe included!), fresh avocado, and antibiotic-free chicken.

Chef's Tip:
Make the pickled onions at least 2 hours ahead. The longer they sit in the vinegar brine, the brighter pink/red they become!
Ultimate Comfort Shell Pasta Vermont Cheddar Real Cream Vegetarian
White Cheddar Mac & Cheese
Startlingly creamy. We use a blend of Vermont White Cheddar and a hint of Dijon mustard for that signature tang. Shell pasta is non-negotiable—it holds the sauce better than macaroni.
