Summer is coming to an end, but my friend is still bringing me gorgeous figs from her trees. I’ve also been able to grab a few delicious peaches before they disappear for the season! Here is a quick appetizer that I’m taking to a cocktail party tonight. It’s delicious and will impress your guests! You can make an easy pie crust, but I didn’t have time. So I grabbed a premade pie crust at the grocery and rolled it to the size I wanted. You can also probably try any stone fruit instead of peaches, but I don’t recommend berries, as they are too watery. Also, I used a combo of blue and goat chees ..read more

What is JuneteeNth? Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger arrived at Galveston, Texas, bringing news to the town that the Civil War had ended and that all slaves were free. This was nearly two and a half years after President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. Before long, the former slaves in southeastern Texas began to celebrate June 19 as Emancipation Day. Eventually, they shortened the name to Juneteenth. The day was recognized as a federal holiday on June 17, 202 ..read more

Happy New Year, everyone! I am fresh off a 48-hour pause in the woods of North Georgia to do a little year-ahead planning. As I create menus and dreamed for the future, I also realized how fortunate our company has been for the past two years. The pandemic has taken over all of our lives, but it’s been very bad for the restaurant industry. Thankfully, at Souper Jenny we don’t have the normal restaurant set up. There is no set menu, in fact, the menu changes every day - and has for the past 23 years that we have been open. It’s quite a challenge to be continually looking for new ideas and crea ..read more
