It’s the most wonderful time of the year: Cranberry Season! I’ve just created a new page on the menu of Judy’s Chickens full of favorite cranberry recipes including a post about how cranberries are grown. My favorite recipe of all is my grandmother’s cranberry chutney. It’s our family’s version of cranberry sauce. It’s addictive—so bittersweet. Lonkin👉Bio. #cranberrysauce #cranberrybog #cranberrypie

Coming soon: the very best chocolate chip cookie I have ever eaten.
Once a month, I show up as a volunteer cook @stlukescommunityhouse to help cook lunch for 500. When I arrive, It’s like Mission Impossible; the team leader tells me what I need to prepare, I take a deep breath, and do it. Sometimes, it’s old-hat stuff and sometimes it’s new. I love an adventure, so I never lose sleep over it. Today, I was tasked with making 8-10 gallons of cheese sauce starting with a roux. Yes, of course I was apprehensive! That’s part of the fun. David, the kitchen manager helped me with some of the ingredient amounts. I melted 5 pounds of butter, and then added 10 cups of flour. A roux always starts with equal amounts of fat and flour. 1 pound of butter equals 2 cups times 5 pounds equals 10 cups of flour. I cooked the flour in the butter until I could smell the flour toasting. That was my signal to add the milk. I started with 1 gallon milk per pound of butter. Using a whisk, I stirred the mixture constantly until it started to boil. At that point, I cut off the heat in the tilt skillet and added 16 pounds of cheddar cheese. I stirred until all the cheese was melted and incorporated into the sauce. I added 6 T of kosher salt and 1 T of pepper. It was divine. The part I was most proud of was that I didn’t scald the milk. That was my goal. It is a bear to clean the bottom of a scalded pan. A bigger bear if it is a huge pan. This sauce would have been perfect for Mac and Cheese. We needed it for a chicken casserole so I thinned the sauce with 2 more gallons of milk. Mission accomplished. Come down to @thenashvillefoodproject and volunteer! We always need helpers. #thenashvillefoodproject #whereeveryoneknowsyourname #growcookshare
