Happy November!

When November arrives, typically the cold does too, but it also brings an overwhelming sense of warmth - the holiday season is here! If you know me at all, you know Thanksgiving is one of my absolute favorites. Partly because I could eat my grandma’s stuffing every single day of my life, and partly because my family is my world. There is nothing better than delicious food, traditions and spending time with the ones you love. Speaking of which, what are your family traditions during the holiday season? Mine would have to be cooking up the Thanksgiving meal in the kitchen late into the night and early into the morning with my oh-so-talented mother, and baking our secret family pumpkin pie recipe with my beloved sister (this pie is to die for). I think that’s what makes Thanksgiving so wonderful – food bringing family and friends together. Food is a conversation piece; it’s something to talk over, to celebrate over, to love over and to remember over. It’s so simple, yet it creates and holds so many memories. Since we’re talking about food, welcome to our November food issue! Prepare to be hungry, we warned you. This month we went in search of the tastiest desserts around the city, and we think we found them! Take a read through our Sweet Treats, and hopefully you’ll find yourself a spot to try,

revisit or reminisce about. Being the month of Thanksgiving and all, we thought we would help you find a new favorite recipe to add to your traditional Thanksgiving meal. We’re not saying stop serving the traditional dishes, we’re just saying add to them! And lastly, we think we’ve added a new weekly tradition ourselves: dinner at The Drake. We sipped, tasted and awed over The Drake, the newest Good Egg establishment on 23rd. Can we just say that in addition to the beautifully executed cuisine, this spot has to be one of the most Instragrammable, photographable, bloggable restaurants we’ve been to in a good minute. It’s stunning. Well, that’s all from me this time, friends. From one foodie to another, I appreciate you picking up this issue or reading through it online. This holiday season I hope you remember what it’s all about. Make time for those who mean the most, set down the technology for a little while this season and be present, create new traditions and revisit old ones, and remember there is always, always, always something to be thankful for.

Gratefully,

Lauren Wright

THANKSGIVING Okay we know what you’re thinking – “Why try new recipes when Thanksgiving is so full of tradition?” Our answer: we’re saying add to traditional foods, not get rid of them! We love the idea of adding new things to a traditional Thanksgiving meal to spice it up a little. These recipes all fit into the general Thanksgiving theme, but with a little bit of a twist that we love. We adore traditions and the usual Thanksgiving dishes, but there is too much out there to explore in the food world, and some great ones could end up in your holiday repertoire. Take a spin on sides this year, you’ll be thankful you did.

so6ix.com | NOVEMBER 2015

Credit: 3boysunprocessed.com Ahh, finally, a delicious corn dish! Wait, a corn dish for Thanksgiving? YES. I don’t know about your family traditions, but in my family, corn is another vegetable that typically gets overlooked on this food-crazed holiday. We love this for a few reasons, the main reason being cheese, lots of cheese. We’re starting to see a trend here…

• • • • • • • • • • • •

1 bell pepper, diced 1 ⁄4 cup shallot, diced 2 tbsp salted butter 2 tbsp flour 2 tbsp white wine or chicken broth 1 1⁄2 cups milk 1 ⁄4 tsp kosher salt Dash adobo seasoning 4-6 oz sharp white cheddar cheese 1 1⁄2 tsp pure maple syrup (or sweetener of choice) 2-3 oz fontina cheese 5 cups sweet corn, fresh or frozen (thawed - if you do not defrost, the corn will make your sauce watery)

1. Preheat oven to 250°F. 2. In a sauté pan over medium heat add butter, pepper and shallot. Sauté until shallot is fragrant and translucent. Add flour to create a roux. Cook for a few seconds, then whisk in white wine. 3. Slowly begin adding milk, little by little while whisking, allowing mixture to thicken each time. When milk is incorporated add seasonings and cheddar cheese. 4. Pour sauce over corn in an broiler-safe baking dish or skillet. Mix well. Bake until corn is hot and peppers are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Remove dish from oven, top with Fontina cheese, and place dish under broiler until cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.

: • • Credit: tablespoon.com Just give us all of the carbs! Cranberry and Brie were made for each other, I’m convinced. Again, we love personal-sized treats, and these are a delicious twist on your typical rolls served during Thanksgiving dinner.

•

1 package frozen puff pastry, thawed ⁄2 pound Brie cheese

1 cup cranberry sauce (purchased or homemade)

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. 2. With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the sheets into approximately 3x3-inch squares. Press each square into a muffin tin. 3. Cube the Brie into about 3/4-inch cubes. Place a cube of Brie in the center of each puff pastry square. Top the Brie with a small dollop of cranberry sauce. 4. Bake about 10 minutes or until puff pastry corners are toasted light brown.

so6ix.com | NOVEMBER 2015

Credit: kimshealthyeats.com Bite-sized version of anything, and we’re in! Rosemary and potatoes were made for each other, and when you add in cheese, YUM! This is a fun and healthier switch from the typical sweet potato casseroles. Although we’re not hating on anything covered in marshmallows and brown sugar.

•

2 tbsp organic butter, melted

•

2 tbsp coconut oil, melted

•

2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for garnish

•

1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped, plus extra for garnish

•

Sea salt and pepper

•

5-6 large sweet potatoes or yams, thinly sliced

1 3 pounds frozen chopped spinach, defrosted (5 10-oz packages)

Credit: ezrapoundcake.com On a holiday when green beans are typically the star of the show, there’s another delicious green that often gets forgotten: spinach. I will say there is absolutely nothing healthy about this dish, but calories don’t count on holidays, right? Trying to get your husband or kiddos to eat more greens? Just mask it with heavy cream and two cups of cheese (not recommended on the daily). This dish is so creamy and delicious, your guests will be asking for it every meal, not just on Thanksgiving.

•

4 tbsp unsalted butter

•

1 chopped yellow onion

•

1/4 cup flour

•

1/4 tsp grated nutmeg

•

1 cup heavy cream

•

2 cups milk

•

1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

•

1 tbsp kosher salt

•

1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

•

1/2 cup grated Gruyère cheese

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. 2. Transfer thawed spinach to a large baking dish or bowl. Set aside. 3. Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed sauté pan over medium heat. 4. Add the onions and sauté until translucent, about 15 minutes. 5. Add the flour and nutmeg and cook, stirring for 2 more minutes. 6. Add the cream and milk and cook until thickened. 7. Squeeze as much liquid as possible from the spinach (discarding the liquid) and add the spinach to the sauce. Add 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese and mix well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 8. Transfer the spinach to a baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan and the Gruyère. Bake for 2 minutes until hot and bubbly. Serve hot and enjoy!

1 bag of your favorite frozen tater tots

•

2 tablespoons olive oil

•

Credit: climbinggriermountain.com I’m just going to be honest and say we’ll eat tater tots in just about any form, so you can imagine our excitement when we found Thanksgiving Tater Tots! Be adventurous and add a different version of the potato to your table. Truly, these could be made any time of the year.

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Place frozen tater tots on the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. 2. Preheat a skillet and add olive oil to the pan. Add the carrot, celery, garlic and onion to the skillet. Sauté vegetables until almost tender. Add ground turkey along with poultry seasoning and a dash of salt and pepper. Sauté until browned and cooked through.

⁄2 pound ground turkey

•

1 1⁄2 tsp poultry seasoning

•

1 large carrot, diced

•

3 small celery stalks, diced

•

1 garlic clove, minced

•

1/2 cup white cheddar cheese, grated

•

Salt and pepper

•

3 tbsp unsalted butter

•

3 tbsp all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)

•

3/4 cup chicken stock

•

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

•

Salt and pepper

3. In a separate skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the flour, whisking for a minute. Pour in the chicken stock slowly, continuing to whisk until completely incorporated and thickened. Add Dijon and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. 4. Remove tater tots from oven and sprinkle cheese, meat and vegetable mixture on top. Bake for another 10 minutes or until golden brown. 5. Remove from oven and pour Dijon gravy over the top, or serve on the side for dipping! so6ix.com | NOVEMBER 2015

EATS There may be a new love in our life: The Drake. If you don’t live under a rock, you’ve probably heard a thing or two about Good Egg’s newest addition, beautifully crafted on renovated and thriving 23rd Street. Upon arriving at The Drake you can’t help but be in awe of its simplistic yet beautiful design. You don’t quite feel like you’re in mainstream Oklahoma when you’re standing in this spot. Friendly, lively and knowledgeable staff is a must for every restaurant, and The Drake’s passed with flying colors! As a landlocked state, it’s a little bit of a stretch to get truly fresh and high-quality seafood. We’re not saying it’s impossible; we just don’t see it often. The Drake has, hands down, some of the freshest seafood I’ve ever had, and that’s with visits and vacations to restaurants sitting ocean-side. An experience at The Drake is a little bit of an adventure: many different flavors and options paired together and served family-style. Bring an appetite because you’re going to want to try more than one thing, we promise. If you’re a little hesitant when it comes to oysters, don’t be at The Drake – they do it phenomenally. Their fresh oysters are chef-selected daily and paired with homemade sauces, making The Drake easily one of the best oyster spots you’ll find in the city, so it’s a great place to give them a try. With a spot like this doing seafood so well, it’s easy to overlook the bar masters serving up drink concoctions, but you shouldn’t. They have a carefully crafted drink menu of great cocktails to pair with your food or to sip on while you wait. It was all delicious, fun and different. Different is great! Because the food is so fresh and made to order, we recommend ordering each course separately, rather than all at once. Make your lunch or dinner an enjoyable experience. You can’t rush great seafood! Is there anything Good Egg can’t do? Again and again we’re impressed with each concept as a whole. The Drake, we’ll see again you soon, very soon, my friend.

WHAT WE TASTED: Fresh Oysters Chef’s selection Lobster Roll Tarragon mayonnaise, drawn butter Linguini & Clams with Chorizo Grilled Brussels Sprouts Dashi, shishito peppers The Drake Creamsicle Brown butter coconut cookie, orange curd, vanilla-orange sherbet swirl, salted Chantilly cream

WHAT WE SIPPED: Sir Francis Drake Smith & Cross navy-strength rum, pomegranate syrup, hibiscus strong tonic Magellan’s Voyage Magellan gin, Cocchi Bianco, crème de violette, lemon bitters

The sister restaurant to the beloved Café Kacao is making bellies happier than ever. This new spot in downtown Oklahoma City is the perfect place for everything coffee and sweet treats, but don’t miss out on their delicious lunch. If you’re into pop culture at all or read the news, for that matter, you’ll know the Cronut (a croissant donut) is all the rage as of late, and Café Condesa is whipping up their own version to compete with NYC’s. They boast flavors like chai glaze and walnuts, peach cobbler, Nutella s’mores, and white chocolate caramel with caramelized peach. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. For an afternoon pick-me-up, grab one of their Cubanos for a boost of caffeine. A little taste of Havana in our backyard? Yes, please!

Oklahoma may be a good distance from the Mediterranean, but our own Couscous Café delivers delicious Middle Eastern food. This tiny spot, tucked away in a strip mall, has everything you could want in Moroccan food. From the homemade dishes to the almost drinkable tzatziki sauce (yes, it’s that good), to the creamy hummus and stuffed grape leaves, you know you’re getting quality food and for a price that’s not too steep. Charcoaled meats and vegetables have a simple yet flavorful presence atop fluffy yellow Mediterranean rice. We love the idea of a change of pace from the typical day-to-day food many of us are used to eating. This taste of Morocco is May Avenue’s best-kept secret.

COOKING WITH CHEF SHANE ROEL SWEET POTATO CRÈME

INGREDIENTS • • • • • •

12 egg yolks 1 qt. cream 1 cup sugar 1 vanilla bean 1 small roasted sweet potato 2 cinnamon sticks

PREPARATION 1.

Place small sweet potato on oven rack and roast at 250° for 25-30 minutes or until soft. Once roasted, remove and set aside to let cool.

Split and scrape vanilla bean and combine in a pot with cream, sugar, cinnamon sticks and peeled sweet potato, then bring to a boil.

While the cream mixture is heating up, separate eggs. Place the yolks in a large mixing bowl and set aside, and store the whites for another use.

Pull the vanilla bean pod and the cinnamon sticks out of your cream mixture, then carefully pour remaining cream into a blender and blend. Slowly temper into your egg yolks and strain through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher for easy pouring.

Place your baking dishes in a hotel pan or baking sheet and pour your crème mixture into those dishes. Place in an oven, then pour water into the base of pan and bake at 300° for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until set (no wiggle in the crème).

Once fully cooked, place in a spot to cool, then chill in the fridge for at least one hour or until cold.

TIFFANY MAGNESS OWNER, GREEN GOODIES

Meet Tiffany, owner and cupcaketeer of Green Goodies, located in Classen Curve. Her creations, both sweet and savory, are absolutely delicious. Tiffany has had a passion for nutrition her entire life, and growing up she spent her play time baking. As the years passed, she coupled baking with nutrition and voilà - Green Goodies was born. Green Goodies opened its doors in 2009, when the world of gluten-free, vegan and organic food was relatively quiet. It wasn’t until two years into the business that Tiffany found out she too was gluten intolerant, after listening to customers with similar symptoms. She did her gluten-free research, and if you’ve ever had one of her melt-inyour-mouth cupcakes, cookies or cake balls (a personal favorite), you know she did it right. In fact, Tiffany’s creativity and skills landed her on the famed “Cupcake Wars” television show, which aired on the Food Network. Tiffany and Green Goodies went on to win the show in the summer of 2013! So when we say they’re great cupcakes, we’re not joking. Some of the best chefs and judges in the world think so, too! After the show aired, locals flocked in, and now with the show in syndication, Tiffany is finding that a lot of road-trippers and out-of-towners coming through Oklahoma, the crossroads of the United States, are making Green Goodies a stopping destination. While we could brag on the baked goods all day long, we shouldn’t overlook the fairly new lunch menu that Green Goodies is offering. They carry over their vegan, gluten-free, organic and even paleo (available only for lunch) theme six days out of the week. Farm-to-table sandwiches, salads, soups and more offer a healthy, clean and delicious lunch. We’re a little obsessed. We recommend the Goodie Club and any of their house-made mayos. Green Goodies is truly making a difference in the lives of those with food allergies and nutrition preferences. Tiffany is an extremely successful young female business owner, and we think that is something that deserves recognition. She has some advice to readers who are thinking about starting a new venture or opening their own restaurant: Do thorough homework on business. You will end up taking on a lot more roles than you thought you were going to be doing. Business owners have to be in all roles, not just the ones they love and that gave them the reason to start the business (like baking). If you’re creative, make sure you still study up and learn the business side, or vice versa. We love Green Goodies and we know you will too. Stop by for a truly deliciously crafted product..

GREEN GOODIES IS LOCATED AT 5840 Classen Blvd. #5, Oklahoma City, OK 73118.
