What is a birthday party without a present?
To celebrate our big milestone, we have a gift for you!


On both Saturday and Sunday morning,
the first 50 people in the door will get a commemorative dish created in collaboration between Lisa Oakley and Jennifer Stas!

 
Image
This gift is inspired by a tradition set by Sid Oakley, co-founder of Cedar Creek. He used to love to make little bowls to give as kiln opening presents, and Lisa and Jennifer are continuing that tradition.
These dishes marry clay and glass in a symbolic representation
of the craft mediums Cedar Creek was built upon.

June Recipe
Southwestern Squash Sauté
This zesty recipe has been shared by longtime Cedar Creek friend, Nina Cheatham. Southwestern squash  is an excellent companion with chicken, fish or pork. Add some cheese, avocado and it makes a wonderful filling for quesadillas. 

This recipe reminds our staff member Kathy of her favorite Mexican side dish, Calabacitas.

Serves 4 to 6 as a side dish.

Ingredients
3 tbs. olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
Kosher salt
1 medium red bell pepper, cored, seeded and diced
3 small or medium zucchini or summer squash, cut into 1/3 inch dice
I ear of corn kernels cut from cob
2 garlic cloves
1 large or 2 small fresh hot chilies, such as Serrano or jalapeño, seeded and minced
1 mild chile diced such as poblano or Anaheim, seeded and diced
Freshly ground pepper
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. chili pepper
1 to 2 tbs. chili powder
1 to 2 tbs. roughly chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 lime
Directions
Set large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add 2 tbs.of oil and heat. Add onion, season with a little salt and saute until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add bell pepper, a little more salt and saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the onion and pepper to a bowl.

Turn heat to high and add remaining 1 tbs. of oil and squash. Season with salt and saute for 3 or 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, so it begins to brown lightly and flesh turns slightly translucent.

Return 
pepper and onion to pan, add corn, garlic, and chilies and saute another few minutes. Season with freshly ground pepper, cumin and chili powder.
Toss in the cilantro and squeeze the lime over all, toss and serve immediately.
 
Happy Birthday to our June birthdays!
