Balsamic Glazed Cornish Hens with Roasted Root Vegetables

Recipe by Tricia Wheeler

Cornish hens are so easy to cook—they are a great addition to your recipe repertoire and wonderful for fall entertaining. Fill the hens with your favorite stuffing and you have an elegant option for Thanksgiving dinner— serve one hen per person.

We buy our hens from North Market Poultry and Game; they provide fresh—never frozen— mostly grass-fed and free-range poultry and game from small local farms. Delicious!

Sweet Potato Butter

Recipe by Tricia Wheeler

Northridge Organics is growing local sweet potatoes. They have been growing certified organic vegetables for the past 26 years on their farm in Licking County. Visit Mike and Laura at the Worthington Farmers Market and stock up on the following varieties:

Beauregard—Copper-color skin and orange flesh. It has great flavor and is a good all-purpose sweet potato.

Georgia Jets—Rose-red skin and light orange flesh. This variety bakes well and has outstanding flavor.

Centennial—Heirloom variety with orange skin and flesh. It stores well.

This sweet potato butter is great served on warm biscuits, or rolls on your Thanksgiving table or for a casual lunch with smoked pork loin from Thurn’s Specialty Meats, at 530 Greenlawn Ave.
