Combo Specials of the Day...
🦀Maryland Crab Soup with a Corned Beef Ruban with Fries!
🦀Maryland Crab Soup with a Honey Ham & Swiss Melt with Onion Rings!

We made it! 🎒✏️🍎 The last day of the first week of school!
Hopefully the backpacks made it home, the lunchboxes haven’t started growing anything questionable yet, and everyone has survived those first-week alarm clocks. 😂
It’s been a GREAT week, and there’s something about that first Friday of the school year that deserves a little celebration. So today, give yourself some credit. Whether you sent a little one off to school, taught a classroom full of them, packed lunches, drove the morning circus, or simply survived your own crazy week... YOU DID IT. ❤️
And while we’re celebrating, today is your LAST CHANCE to grab a raffle ticket for Sunday Night Dinner for FOUR! 🦀🦞🍤
🎟️ $20 gets you a chance to win an AMAZING seafood dinner for four! Venmo us or call us at 443-674-8302 to enter!
Even better? Every ticket helps us continue helping our neighbors in need right here in our community. That’s what this is really about. One little $20 ticket might turn into an incredible Sunday dinner for your family, while helping put a meal on someone else’s table too. ❤️
🎡 LIVE DRAWING TONIGHT AT 8 PM!
Grab your ticket before it’s too late!
Here’s to finishing the first week of school strong, doing something kind today, and remembering that sometimes the smallest things we do for one another make the biggest difference.
Happy Friday, friends! Let’s make it a good one. ❤️

Today’s Combo Specials…
🥔Sausage and Lentil Soup with a 6” South Philly Italian Hoagie and Fries!
🍅Sausage and Lentil Soup with a Grilled Caprese and Onion Rings! (We don’t have much time left with local tomatoes, so get your CAPRESE’s and BLTs while you can!)

🩷❤️💜 Today’s reminder: Be kind to yourself.
We spend so much time taking care of everyone else, answering every call, fixing every problem, saying yes when every little cell in our body is screaming NOPE. 😂

It is okay to say no to the world once in a while.
It is okay to protect your peace.
It is okay to take a nap.
It is okay to turn your phone over and ignore it.
It is okay to put yourself on your own priority list.

Taking care of your mental health isn’t selfish. Sometimes self-care is a quiet afternoon and a good book. Sometimes it’s pajamas at 6 PM.

And sometimes… self-care looks suspiciously like Crab Imperial Stuffed Colossal Shrimp and Butter-Poached Lobster. 🦀🦞😂

Speaking of which…

🎟️ Grab yourself a raffle ticket for our Sunday Night Dinner for Four! You could spoil yourself AND help us fill our Pay It Forward Wall at the same time.

Now THAT is the kind of therapy I can get behind. 😂❤️

💰 Venmo:
Or stop into The Forgetful Fork and we’ll get you entered!

Take care of YOU today. The world will still be there when you’re finished. ❤️

Where Kindness is Always on the Menu.

Well… we survived the first day of kindergarten. 😂❤️
And by we, I mostly mean Mommy and Mimi, because Ellie was FINE.
Our girl had an AMAZING first day of school! She walked into this brand-new adventure like she’d been doing it her whole life, while the grown-ups were left wondering how five years managed to disappear in approximately 11 minutes. 🥹🎒
There’s something about watching a little person take a big step that reminds you how quickly life moves.
So today, take the picture. Give the extra hug. Tell somebody you love them. Eat the good dessert. And when you have the opportunity to do something kind for someone else, do it. ❤️
Speaking of kindness…

Combo Specials of the Day...
🦃Vegetable Barley Soup with a Turkey and Bacon Club Sandwich and Fries!
🐔Vegetable Barley Soup with a Crispy Chicken Pasto Melt with Fresh Mozzarella and Roasted Red Peppers on Grilled Sourdough with Onion Rings!
Today, all over Cecil County, tiny people are waking up WAY too early, parents are taking 47 pictures on the front porch, backpacks are approximately the same size as the children wearing them, and teachers everywhere are drinking coffee with the determination of Olympic athletes. 😂
IT’S THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!
And this year, we officially have a kindergartner. 🥹
My Ellie is heading through those school doors today with a whole new world waiting on the other side.
New friends. New teachers. New things to learn. New stories to come home and tell us. And probably at least one lunchbox item that will return home completely untouched for reasons known only to a five-year-old. 😂
But today isn't just about the kids going back to school.
It's a fresh start for ALL of us.
September has arrived. Summer is winding down. Routines are coming back. The alarm clocks are screaming again, traffic is a little crazier, and suddenly we're packing lunches and trying to remember what day gym class is.
Maybe we could all borrow a little of that first-day-of-school energy.
Walk into today expecting to learn something.
Introduce yourself to somebody new.
Ask questions.
Be excited about the little things.
And if you mess something up, remember there's always tomorrow to try again.
Most importantly, be the kind kid.
Whether you're 5 or 85, look for the person who doesn't have anyone to sit with. Say hello. Hold the door. Give the compliment. Make room at your table.
You never outgrow the lessons that matter most. ❤️
So here's to sharpened pencils, squeaky-new shoes, nervous bellies, fresh starts and all the adventures waiting on the other side of those school doors.
And to my sweet Ellie…
Go show kindergarten what they're dealing with. 😂❤️🎒
Happy first day of school, Cecil County! 🍎
🥪 AND SPEAKING OF PACKING THOSE LUNCHES…
Don’t forget, we’re happy to meal prep preservative-free Lunchables for your kiddos in reuseable containers! Fresh, simple, delicious, and one less thing for you to think about on a school morning. 🙌
🍎 BACK-TO-SCHOOL LUNCHMEAT SPECIAL 🍎
🥩 1 lb. Honey Ham
🧀 ½ lb. American Cheese
🥒 1 Kosher Dill Pickle
ALL FOR $15!
Because getting everybody dressed, fed, packed, out the door AND to school on time is enough of an accomplishment.
We'll help with lunch. 😂❤️

🍎 MONDAY MOTIVATION: THE KINDERGARTEN EDITION ✏️❤️
It’s a BIG week in our house, and I know it’s a big week in a whole lot of homes around North East.
Tomorrow, Ellie starts KINDERGARTEN. 😭
And today she gets to meet her kindergarten teacher at her Meet & Greet!
The first official “big girl” haircut has been done. 💇‍♀️
The backpack is packed. 🎒
The pencils are sharpened. ✏️
The Mary Janes are spit-shined and ready for duty.
And Mimi and Mommy?
We are absolutely NOT okay. 😂😭
I told her yesterday, “Mimi is really going to miss you when you’re at school.”
She very sweetly patted me on the back and said...
“I’ll be home for dinner.”
Well, Thank Heavens! 😂
Five years old and already working a 40-hour week. SMH. 🤦‍♀️😂
But underneath all the jokes, this one has my heart feeling extra squishy.
There are so many little ones taking giant steps this week. First days of kindergarten. New schools. New classrooms. New teachers. New friends. And there are a whole bunch of parents, grandparents and caregivers standing behind them wondering how the heck the years disappeared so quickly.
So today’s Monday motivation is for all of us.
Take the picture.
Give the extra hug.
Let them roll their eyes when you take ANOTHER picture.
Tell them how proud you are.
And if you cry in the parking lot afterward, you’re in very good company. ❤️
Our babies are growing up.
And apparently, according to Ellie, we need to calm down because they’ll be home for dinner. 😂❤️
Have a beautiful Monday, North East. Here’s to sharpened pencils, shiny shoes, brave little hearts... and all the Mommies & Daddies trying desperately not to lose their minds this week. 🍎✏️🎒❤️

🧅🥩Delicious Short Rib French Onion Gratinée Soup with a Steakhouse Salad! Grilled Filet, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Bleu Cheese Crumbles, Glazed Pecans, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Carrots and Balsamic Drizzle!
Let’s start this week out with a BANG. 💥
Not by changing the whole world before Monday morning. Not by making a giant list of everything you need to fix, finish, clean, organize, lose, gain, or accomplish.
Start small.
❤️ Tell the people you love how much they mean to you. Don’t assume they know. Say it.
🎯 Make ONE ridiculously easy goal for this week... and complete it TODAY. There. You’re already winning the week.
👋 Say hello to your neighbor.
🚪 Hold the door for the person behind you at the gas station.
😊 Look a stranger in the eye and smile.
📱 Send that “I was just thinking about you” text.
Small things? Absolutely.
But you never know when your tiny act of kindness lands in the middle of someone else’s really hard day.
We spend so much time waiting for opportunities to do something BIG that we forget how powerful the little things are.
So today, love your people loudly.
Be kind to strangers freely.
Check one thing off your list. ✔️
Smile more than you complain.
And walk into this new week knowing you already made somebody’s world a little better.
That’s one hell of a way to start a week. ❤️
Happy Sunday, friends. Now go make some ripples. 🌊❤️
