Tis the season for Fresh Garden Tomatoes, the perfect topping for a Broadbent BLT. My much-anticipated fried green tomatoes were delicious.  Tim Farmer’s Facebook post explained how-to preserve green tomatoes by canning them.  He claims they will taste just like fresh ones.  I see this experiment in my very near future.  Go to Tim Farmers Country Kitchen Facebook page for great cooking tips and recipes. About a week has passed and my garden has beautiful red ripe tomatoes.  One or two tomatoes are ready for the picking and...

Recently, we decided to play with the idea of having custom merchandise printed to sell here at the Kuttawa market. Over the course of the discussion, we thought it could be fun to try and come up with some taglines. Nothing overly complicated, just one-liners and quips that would be in line with what we do here at Broadbent’s. They say that necessity is the mother of invention- To that effect, I say that Pintrest is the fun, crafty aunt. A large portion of our inspiration, design-wise, came from Pintrest. Here are...

Looking back on the past 20 years, the first thought I had, is that it has flown by.  In the fall of 1999, Broadbent’s 33rd catalog went out in the mail. However, as the new owner of Broadbent’s, it was my very first catalog.  That year was quite an adventure.  The printer of the catalog, kept all photography and files at his office.  So I contacted him for direction…  To my dismay, I learned that he was under the impression we would no longer be printing a catalog,...

  While working on the upcoming fall catalog, I noticed how many times we used the word “Delicious”.  I needed a few synonyms to replace it, and yet still describe Broadbent foods as- well, delicious. So, I pulled out my copy of “The New American Roget’s College Thesaurus”, (the actual book), which I bought in the 1970’s.  I can’t tell you the date it was published, because the cover and front couple of pages are missing. Here’s what I found: “Delicious-  Adj.-  delectable, luscious, toothsome, palatable, savory.  See TASTE.”   I was familiar with all...

  Here, in beautiful western Kentucky, we are now firmly in the middle of what we are hoping is Winter's last hoorah (Y'all say a prayer for us). The snow and ice that we saw this weekend aren't uncommon for our area this time of year, so we have learned to prepare. Just like a squirrel with his acorns, we stash away goodies to tide us over until the thaw. Whether your mornings are crisp, or dreary, there is no better way to start a cold day than with...

The countdown to Christmas is on, with only 2 weeks to go getting organized for the big Christmas dinner is one of the top priorities. Now many American’s repeat several elements of their Thanksgiving Dinner for Christmas.
