Hen House Holiday Celebration

Hey everyone!

Blogging has suffered a tad the past few days as I’ve been a bit under the weather. I guess it’s that time of year, right? I’ve been fighting back with things like fresh juice, vitamins, water, warm soup, and hot tea!

This concoction of fresh juice is a mixture of carrots, kale, orange, apple, and lemon. Delicious, beautiful color, and chalk full of good-for-me vitamins.

Thankfully, I feel all right, I’m just starting to look like Rudolph from blowing my nose so much. Maybe it’ll at least get me in the Christmas spirit?? Ha. Either way, I’m sure it won’t last long.

Speaking of holiday spirit …

Hen House Holiday Celebration

For those in Kansas City, the third annual Hen House Holiday Celebration is taking place this weekend!

This celebration is held at the Overland Park Convention Center (6000 College Boulevard) on October 28th, 29th, and 30th. Events include:

• On Friday, October 28th, Celebrity Chef and Food Network Star, Tyler Florence will be making two appearances.
• On Saturday, October 29th, new cookbook authors, the Casserole Queens are back in town to help us whip up some holiday side dishes
• Also on Saturday local high school culinary programs will compete for Top Student Chef
• On Sunday, local executive chefs including Charles D’ Ablaing from Chaz, and Tate Roberts from EBT compete for Kansas City’s Top Chef

Not only that, but there will be over 90 displays of food and entertaining ideas that include plenty of samples an tastings. Sounds like fun to me!

Tickets are $5.00 if you hurry and get them at a Hen House Market, otherwise, they’re $6.00 at the door. Either way, pretty affordable. For more information, please visit www.HenHouseHolidayCelebration.com

I’m hoping to make it out at some point this weekend to participate in all the fun and take some photos to share. If anyone else plans to go, holler at me, maybe I’ll see you there!
