Ingredients
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 oz turkey kielbasa, diced
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 3 celery ribs, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, minced
- 3 cups corn kernels, fresh, frozen, or canned
- 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives
Preparation
In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the kielbasa and cook, stirring, until it begins to brown on all sides, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the onion, celery, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and chipotle pepper and cook for an additional minute. Add the corn, potatoes, chicken broth, and milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and water. Add the cornstarch mixture to the soup, stirring constantly, and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
Serve immediately topped with a dollop of sour cream and fresh chives or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Dietary Tags: Nut-free, Pescatarian, Vegetarian
Ingredients
STRAWBERRY SCONES
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into 1/2″ cubes
- 1 cup diced strawberries
- 1/2 cup half and half cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp milk
VANILLA GLAZE
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 2 tbsp half and half cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Preparation
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the chilled butter and mix it into the flour mixture with your hands until it resembles coarse crumbs. Alternatively, this can be done in a food processor. Once the butter is fully incorporated, add the strawberries and stir gently.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until a dough begins to form. The dough will be slightly sticky.
Divide the dough in half and transfer the first half to a lightly-floured board. Form it into a disc that is about 1″ high and 8″ across. Using a sharp knife, cut the disc into 6 equal slices. Transfer the slices to a parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat with the other half of the dough. Using a pastry brush, brush the top of each scone with milk.
Transfer the scones to the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes.
In the meantime, preheat the oven to 375°F.
Bake the scones until they just begin to brown on top, between 17 and 20 minutes. Keep a close eye on them. If they begin to brown too quickly, place a piece of aluminum foil over top to slow the browning process.
Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool completely.
In the meantime, in a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla extract. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones.
Enjoy immediately or store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Ingredients
CLASSIC PANCAKES
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
VANILLA BERRY SAUCE
- 2 cups mixed berries, fresh or frozen
- 1/2 lemon, juice
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Preparation
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a second mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until they are just combined. Don’t worry about any lumps in the batter.
Lightly grease a non-stick frying pan and heat over medium heat. Scoop about 1/3 cup of the batter into the center of the frying pan and cook, undisturbed, until bubbles begin to appear on top of the pancake, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the pancake over and cook it for another minute on the second side. Repeat until all of the batter is gone.
In a small saucepan, combine the berries, lemon juice, sugar, and vanilla extract. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until the sauce reduces and starts to thicken, between 7 and 10 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
The pancakes and sauce can be enjoyed immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
