~Angela Cotta

I had the absolute privilege of growing up in one of the most bountiful regions in the United States...“California’s Heartland.”

As a child, I spent many days a week at my Grandparent’s Ranch in Ceres, CA, running through the almond orchard and riding on the tractor with my Nonu. It was on that very Ranch (which remains in our Family to this day) where my
love for “farm-to-fork” ingredients first

began. Besides their forty acres of almonds, Nonu and Nana had a small plot of land that surrounded their farmhouse where they had planted an array of fruits and vegetables. Depending on the season, you could find anything from zucchini, basil, and fava beans to peaches, plums, and apricots. Being able to plant, pick, prepare, and plate this fresh produce was essentially the beginning of my culinary quest. Needless to say, it is a heritage that I am so very proud of having. So here I am... after twelve years of living in Southern California as a professional musician, I’ve headed back home to the Central Valley with my extremely supportive husband, Kit Casey (aka: “The Taste Tester”), & find myself pursuing a food-filled fantasy. Please join me on this tasty adventure of fresh, family-inspired recipes.

Our cookies are going fast today, but we also have these beauties available:

*Fresh blueberry muffins with cinnamon streusel topping

*Cherry (yes... REAL cherries!) & toasted almond muffins with a crumbly almond streusel

*And one last "naked" chocolate chip cookie cake - this would be perfect on the Fourth of July, heated up in the oven for a few minutes, and served with vanilla ice cream!

If you are interested, please give us a call and we will reserve any of these items for you. We are open until 5:30 PM today! 209-664-2004

This week our specials will be featuring fresh picked stone fruit from our home ranch at Cotta Family Farms!

Our seasonal flatbread comes topped with creamy chèvre, a drizzle of local honey, a variety of sliced plums, pluots, nectarines and white peaches, baby arugula dressed in our balsamic reduction, and a pinch of coarse sea salt. It comes with your choice of chips, or you can upgrade to a house salad or fruit for just a few bucks more.

And if you're taste buds are craving a light, fresh, seasonal salad, then we have the perfect version for you this week: A nice combination of the above mentioned stone fruits with hand leafed lettuce, pickled red onions, goat cheese, toasted almonds, and our balsamic vinaigrette - Absolutely lovely and naturally gluten-free (and vegan, minus the cheese).

Both the flatbread and salad specials are vegetarian, with the option of adding on any protein that we offer. We highly suggest adding on Aged Prosciutto, as it complements the other ingredients perfectly. Our sliced roasted chicken breast is also quite delicious as a protein option.

Just a few reminders before we sign off: If you are interested in ordering one of our new chocolate chip cookie cakes for the Fourth of July (or for any kind of celebration!), please give us a call by tomorrow (Tuesday), and we can have it fresh baked and ready for you to pick up anytime on Thursday, July 2nd (10:30 AM till 5:30 PM), OR on Friday, July 3rd! FYI: The Kitchen isn't typically open to the public on Fridays, but I will be in there working in the wee hours of the morning till about Noon-ish. So if you would like to pick up fresh baked cookies & chocolate chip cookie cakes, or even some freezer items, give us a heads up by this Thursday, and we will be happy to have it ready for you to pick up on Friday morning before 12 PM.

Lastly, just a quick reminder that come July 4th, we will be closing up shop for our annual summer hiatus. We will be closed throughout the month of July and will return in early August for more summertime fare & fun. 🫶

P.S. Don't forget to get out there tonight to view the gorgeous strawberry moon… The first full moon of the summer season! 🍓🌕

Ohhhhh Baby. Would you just look at this gorgeous chocolate chip cookie cake... Hubba-Hubba! 😍

Here's the lowdown: This is a 9-inch round cookie cake, that's basically the equivalent of having eight of our original chocolate chip cookies in one big round delight. It makes for a perfect celebratory treat, or a "just because you love someone" treat. We offer it bare/naked (with no decorations on top), in case you want to pop it in your oven for a few minutes to get it nice and goopy before serving with vanilla ice cream. And we also offer it as pictured, decorated with the most decadent chocolate buttercream frosting, made in-house with REAL organic grass-fed butter (the one pictured is decorated with some colorful sprinkles for a special birthday party). Depending on the occasion, we have some other sprinkle options that we can put atop our buttercream frosting... Just let us know in advance what you are celebrating and we will be happy to oblige.

We make these babies fresh to order, so we kindly ask for at least 48-hours notice. Bare/Naked Cookie Cakes are priced at $30 each, and decorated Cookie Cakes with chocolate buttercream frosting are priced at $35 each. Each cake will serve approximately 8 to 10 people. Remember: You are getting the equivalent of EIGHT of our full sized original chocolate chip cookies in one 9-inch cake!

OK, now that the details are out-of-the-way, you may now proceed with the drooling and daydreaming part of this segment. 🤤
