Blue Ribbon Sweet Potato Pie     $7.00
Winner of the Kiwanis Pie Contest in the professional bakers category.  We've taken all of the good things about pumpkin pie and made it a gazillion times better!  Stan's own all-butter pie crust filled with sweet potato custard then topped with a brown sugar and walnut crumb mixture.  Bakes from frozen, so you're never more than an hour away from the best part of your day.  Should serve four, if you decide to share.

Apple of Your Eye Pie     $7.00
Stan's specialty, shrunken a little bit for the smaller household.  Hand-made all butter pie crust holds a tart fresh apple filling and gets topped with a brown sugar crumb topping.  Seven inch pie yields four respectable servings.

Cookie Dough Pie     $7.00
A soft gooey chocolate chip, walnut filling snuggled inside a buttery pie crust.  It tastes as sinful as it sounds, but with our smaller 7 inch size, the damage is minimal.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies     $3.00
Extra crunchy peanut butter makes the base for these moist cookies which are studded with milk chocolate chips.  $3.00 for 12 ounces of dough (makes 8 cookies).

Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies     $3.00
A less sweet alternative to Oatmeal Scotchies, we load these up with dried cranberries, chopped pecans and white chocolate chips.  12 ounces makes 8 three-inch cookies.

Stole House Cookies (nut free)     $3.00
We have a bad habit here of trying to reinvent the wheel.  The problem is we're usually successful.  You know the cookie, but ours has three kinds of chips: milk, white and dark.  That means we win again, and you get to reap the rewards!  12 ounces of dough makes 8 three-inch cookies.

Chocolate Chocolate Heat Cookies     $3.00
This cookie bites back!  We start with the perfect chocolate cookie dough, then load it up with dark chocolate chips and a dash of cayenne pepper.  Not averpowering by any means; especially delicious with coffee.  12 ounces of dough makes 8 three-inch cookies.

Hot Fudge Pudding Cake     $4.00
We don't get the science behind this cake, but that hasn't stopped us from eating gobs of it!  You thaw the batter and add water before baking and what emerges from your oven is a nice chocolate cake with a layer of chocolate pudding underneath.  Feeling adventurous?  Replace part of the water with coffee or your favorite liqueur.  The possibilities are endless!

march Menu

Slow Cooked Corned Beef & Cabbage - slow cooker    
A classic St. Patrick's day meal.  Corned beef, celery, carrots, onions, and potatoes go great with cabbage, but we add some dark ale to make it just a little better.

Zesty Beef Ragout - slow cooker    
Thick strips of sirloin spend the day with carrots, peppers, tomatoes, and Mexican spices to create a warm and comforting meal for those cool fall nights.  Served with brown rice.

Beef Stroganoff - slow cooker
A day spent in the slow cooker ensures tender beef.  We’ve streamlined the remaining steps in this traditionally time-consuming dish so you'll have time to get your hair did.  Served over egg noodles.

Cranberry Stuffed Chicken - oven
It’s not turkey with stuffing but it will do for a quick Thanksgiving type fix.  Our cranberry herb stuffing sits inside a breaded boneless chicken breast and gets served with sliced sweet potatoes.

Just Enough Time Jambalaya - stovetop
Another offering from the quick and easy hall of fame. Smoked sausage, tomatoes and assorted vegetables sauteed with a zesty blend of spices then tossed with brown rice.

Hawaiian Chicken Barbeque - oven
Boneless chicken breasts baked up in our own island infused barbeque sauce with green peppers, onions and juicy pineapple, all served over brown rice.

Chicken Gumbo - slow cooker
Not your typical spicy gumbo. Our milder chicken and kielbasa blend with a variety of spices, okra, celery, onions and peppers creates an aroma you'll be happy to come home to!

Coffee Chops - broiler
Center cut pork chops are soaked in a coffee and molasses based marinade that smells like morning and tastes like dinner.  Served with carrots.

Slow Cooker Pork Tacos - slow cooker    
Boneless pork and assorted chilis slow cook along with a mild sauce to await your arrival home.  Shred the pork and pile it into corn tortillas (provided).

Spicy Black Beans & Rice - stovetop    
The name says it all.  A few jalapenos, onions, green peppers and our own saffron rice complete the meal.

Italian Baked Chicken & Pasta - oven    
A combination of classic Italian flavors combined together in a hearty casserole.  Boneless chicken breasts, multi-grain pasta, tomatoes, cheese and garlic create a meal that will leave no leftovers!

Lemon Chicken Noodle Soup - stovetop
A soothing chicken soup made better with multi-grain pasta, carrots, and a hint of lemon.  Not guaranteed to cure the common cold, but it's worth a try, right?

Chicken Piccata & Pasta - stovetop    
Thinly cut chicken breasts browned in a skillet then joined with a sauce of mushrooms, capers, garlic and a little white wine.  Served with multi-grain spaghetti.

Sausage & Vodka Penne - stovetop    
Just the dish to satisfy your longing to cook like the people on tv.  Sweet italian sausage browns quickly and creates the base for a zesty tomato and cream sauce with a splash of vodka.  Toss with the penne pasta and you'll be eating your heart out in just twenty minutes!

Little Italy Pork Chops - stovetop    
Boneless chops simmer in a tomato based sauce with fennel, onion, red pepper flakes, red wine and garlic.  Served atop a bed of brown rice.

Special Beef Stew - slow cooker    
Tender sirloin and the usual stew vegetables get an added flavor boost from sun dried tomatoes and a surpise appearance by chunks of butternut squash.  It sounded strange to us too, but we were hooked after just one bite!
