Chelle's Scratch Kitchen

01/28/2024

I have made the decision to close Chelle’s Scratch Kitchen. I will still be available for special orders and holiday sides, but will not be doing the daily menu. It’s been such a joy to cook for all of you, and I want to thank everyone who supported me!

EBT eligible! Beef Enchiladas - $8 single servings / $32 family size

Inevitably every couple of weeks, my family asks me to make “homemade Cazadorez.” They love it more than going to the restaurant. The issue we run into is I like corn tortillas, they like flour. Two of us like chicken enchiladas, the rest of the family likes beef.

So… I make all the enchiladas all the ways… but the amount of love that goes into making them means I can only put in the time every couple of months. Maybe it’s the anticipation and rarity that makes them so loved in our household. 🤷‍♀️

There are still Chicken Enchiladas in the freezer section along with today’s Beef Enchis, so y’all help us settle this debate! What’s better? Flour or corn? Chicken or beef? White sauce or red?

Beef Enchiladas: Roast cooked low and slow with my scratch-made au jus spice blend for a full 24 hours, hand shredded and tossed with sautéed onions and diced green chiles. Hand-fried tortillas coated in scratch-made sauce, rolled up with cheddar cheese and covered in saucy, cheesy perfection.

✅ 2 family size (both flour) - ran out of space in the pans so had to bundle together with a single serve pan size
✅ 6 single servings (3 flour & 3 corn)

Chicken Enchiladas: Scratch-made salsa verde with sautéed onions, diced green Chiles, chicken stock, flour and cumin. Hand fried tortillas dipped in salsa verde and stuffed with a blend of slow-cooked chicken breast and thigh meat, with a Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese blend. After they’re rolled, a good dose of heavy cream, more salsa verde and cheese make these indulgent, y’all.

✅ 2 family size (1 flour, 1 corn)
✅ 2 single servings (1 flour, 1 corn)

I know there is someone out there who wants to try them ALL. 😂 Mix & match, and let us know what YOUR favorite is.

And don’t get me started on the chips & queso. Yes - family meals include two kinds of these, as well. 🤪

Chicken Enchiladas - made the RiGhT way with scratch-made salsa verde and heavy cream. Because if you’re gonna go for it… you might as well go all out!

Two of each family size & single serving - corn or flour tortillas!

They may have made it on the shelves a few minutes late this morning, but y’all… shaping a half dozen mini pie crusts out of spaghetti noodles coated in an egg Parmesan mixture is not for the faint of heart. 😅

Spaghetti Pie was a special request from a customer with fond memories of a family member making this for her “back in the day.” She said she’s tried to make it herself but it’s just not the same.

So, what is Spaghetti Pie? Well, I already mentioned the crust - spaghetti noodles formed into the bottom of the pan sort of like a deep dish pizza crust. Then, a layer of ricotta, Parmesan, egg and Italian spices. On top of that, a rich scratch-made spaghetti meat sauce. This sauce, y’all. 🧑‍🍳 So good. The whole thing is topped with a generous layer of melty mozzarella.

Bake it, scoop it, eat it. 😋

3 family meals ($36) & 3 single servings ($9) available!

Chicken Pot Pie, y’all. On this one, the filling is fully cooked but you’re going to still need an oven (or at least a toaster oven) to thicken it up and bake the pie crust!

I baked my single serving 25 minutes in a 350 degree oven, and you can see it’s just baked through and lightly golden. If you like a little more golden, switch the oven over to broil for a couple minutes after baking through.

Family servings: $20
Single servings: $5 (just one left already!)

EBT eligible!

On the menu tomorrow: a customer request of Spaghetti Pie. Don’t miss it.

Million Dollar Chicken - $28 family meal
Chicken Bacon Ranch Soup - $7 per 12 oz… mix & match to get how much you want!
Green Chile Chicken Tortilla Casserole - $8 singles/ $32 family

These beauties are on the shelves! Thick cut pork chops with mushroom gravy.

These pork chops are a staple at our house. We have them at least every other week. But, I’ve been hesitant to prepare them for y’all because… let’s be honest, sometimes y’all cheat and don’t follow the instructions. 😂

No cheating on these, guys. They’re seared but they HAVE to be finished out in the oven. Food safety laws require me to tell you that 165 degrees is “done done” and that’s what the instructions say. At home, I cook mine to 145 and then let them rest.

3 single servings ($9) that weren’t pre-ordered, plus a family size Million Dollar Chicken Casserole ($28) are available!

Everything on the shelves today was pre-ordered.

I was feeling a little guilty not having any extras of this lasagna, and then I remembered y’all can order them for tomorrow or Friday if you feel like you missed out!

Why was I feeling guilty? Well… it might be the scratch-made, fresh lasagna noodles. It might be that ricotta cheese blend. Maybe it’s the delicious Italian sausage… maybe the fire-roasted tomatoes. Or, maybe it’s the fact that the pans are filled to the brim. I just want everyone who WANTS some to HAVE some.

So… let me know if you’re totally heartbroken that you didn’t have one with your name on it today. There’s always tomorrow. 😜

We didn’t have any pre-orders today, so we won’t be cooking this morning. Remember, you can order anything on this week’s menu for any day! I’ll make batches to cover pre-orders and any overage will go on the shelves.

Alright, you guys… we’re gonna try something a little different next week.

I’m going to be taking pre-orders for your preferred items for any day you want. This wild weather means I’m going to need to limit grocery runs, so please have pre-orders in by Sunday at noon.

Any overages from pre-orders will go on the shelf that day, which means there will be a variety of items each day.

This is an experiment, so let’s see how it goes. 😜

If the meat market has to close due to weather on a day when you have a pre-order, please contact us for options.

Comment on this post to pre-order with 3 things:
✅ size of meal
✅ name of meal
✅ day of pick up
