4th Trimester Haven Menu

​

Warming Bowls & Restorative Soups

• Grandma’s Special Elixir: Our signature healing broth. A creamy, golden blend of slow-simmered chicken bone broth, turmeric, mushrooms, kale, and mirepoix. Inspired by legendary healing elixirs to anchor your recovery.

• Hearty Chili: A protein-packed, warming classic. Slow-simmered with ground meat, beans, and deep spices to provide a comforting, iron-rich meal.

• Creamy Slow-Roasted Tomato & Basil: A rich, velvety classic made with roasted tomatoes and fresh basil—an antioxidant-rich hug in a bowl.

• Pure Bone Broth: Sip-ready, mineral-dense broth (Chicken or Beef) to support joint health and tissue repair.

The Main Table

• Herbed Buttermilk Brined Roasted Chicken: A timeless sanctuary classic. The buttermilk brine ensures the chicken is extraordinarily tender and juicy, slow-roasted with fresh herbs for a soulful, high-protein meal.

• Slow-Roasted Crispy Carnitas: Tender, citrus-marinated pork slow-cooked until falling apart. Perfect for building your own tacos, nachos, or nutrient-dense protein bowls.

• Signature Creamy Mushroom & Asparagus Pasta: A lush, earthy pasta. Optional: Add grilled chicken, chicken sausage, or extra protein to suit your recovery needs.

• Moussaka with a Spin: A soulful take on the Mediterranean classic. I swap the heavy bechamel for a whipped ricotta layer, making it protein-rich and much gentler on your digestion.

• Mediterranean Turkey Meatloaf: A flavorful, lean protein packed with feta, spinach, roasted red peppers, and kalamata olives.

• Slow-Roasted Salmon: Finished with herbs and healthy fats for essential Omega-3s and mood stability.

• Avocado Pesto Pasta: A creamy, nutrient-dense sauce rich in healthy fats.

Restorative Breakfast & Brunch

• Eggs Benedict: Poached eggs, savory ham, and a toasted base topped with a rich, silky hollandaise—the ultimate indulgent morning.

• Shrimp & Grits: A savory Southern staple featuring andouille sausage, sautéed bell peppers, onions, and sweet corn over our signature creamy, dreamy, cheesy grits.

• Build-Your-Own Frittata or Omelet: Tailored to your cravings with your choice of seasonal vegetables, proteins, and cheeses.

• Breakfast Tacos: Your choice of corn or flour tortillas filled with fluffy scrambled eggs and melted cheese. Customize with your choice of sausage, beans, or fresh avocado.

On the Side

• Your Choice of Potatoes: Choose between Crispy Roasted or Butter-Whipped Mashed potatoes.

• Root Vegetable Medley: A colorful mix of seasonal roots roasted to bring out their natural sweetness.
   

A Note on My Kitchen Philosophy: While these are my signature offerings, I am here to serve you. A Southern girl at heart, I believe food is a primary form of care. I frequently cook off-menu items based on your specific cravings, dietary needs or cultural traditions. If there is a meal that makes you feel safe and nourished, we will make it happen. ❤️
