09/19/2024

It's starting to feel a lot like Fall out there! We're breaking out the gravy and the soups and the pumpkin spice and apple cider over here at A La Heart! Maureen made a big batch of Gravenstein Apple Butter, so of course we're having pork chops and bourbon gravy this week. Butternut squash lasagna and meatloaf sandwiches have made a comeback as well. Check out our full menu for the week at alaheart.com

We'll be here until at least 3 today through Saturday, and don't forget, we have big discounts between 2-3 every Saturday afternoon to share anything we might still have available then. We also have some great new fall items in the shop. Come on by!

Still have some deliciousness available, and will be here until about 3:30 today, if you're still trying to make it over here for our 25-50% off sale...every Saturday from 2-3 at A La Heart! We're almost done for the week, and would love to get these chef-prepared meals in your hands! Pastries are also half off (including our SCONES), and everything in the freezer is 10% off.

Come by today for another half hour! 6490 Mirabel Road, up by the post office in Forestville.

SO. MUCH. GOODNESS.

Come on by this week and grab some new favorites! With the weather cooling a bit, we made some more soups and braised chicken thighs with white wine, leeks, and carrots...YUM! We're here until at least 3 Wednesday to Saturday (and don't forget that all in-house prepared items we have left at the end of the week go on sale at 2 p.m. on Saturdays now! No guarantees of what we'll have left, but definitely worth a look to get you through the early part of the week until we're open again! And our new freezer is stocked to the brim with soups and meals that go on sale during that time too!)

Thinking about throwing a party this fall or winter? Now's a great time to reach out and secure a date with us for catering, and we can start talking menu!

Open until at least 3 each day Wednesday through Saturday.

08/16/2024

We're back from our staycation, school's in, and we were craving pot roast, so pot roast it is this week! We're making back to school easy with a delicious kid- and adult-friendly menu...mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, meatloaf sandwiches, great soups and salads, and lots more. Check out our full weekly and every day menu at www.alaheart.com!

For those who haven't visited us yet, here is how it works. We are a 43 year old catering company, and about 2.5 years ago, we expanded to also offer grab and go gourmet meals. Our menu changes weekly, and the food is prepared, portioned, and packaged by our chefs, and set out in the cold case each morning. Everything is prepared with the idea in mind that you could eat now (we have a station to heat things you may wish to heat, like breakfast burritos), or you could take home to eat later or the next day. It's great for lunch, packing a picnic on your way to the river, or to stock your fridge so you never have to cook! Having a small dinner party? Perfect, we got you. Want to order from our weekly menu for a larger group? Just shoot us an email, and we'll see how we can help! We specialize in delicious food that is made from scratch using high quality ingredients, and incorporating local and organic wherever we can. We also have espresso, ice cream, amazing pastries, bagels, and tons of awesome local foodie gifts! And our newest addition...a freezer!! Now instead of 2-3 soups per week, we always have at least a dozen choices, including lots of vegan and gf options. And we carry Mama Mel's gluten free breads and bagels! Come on by!

6490 Mirabel Road, up by the post office in Forestville. We're open 9-3 Weds-Fri, and 10-3 on Saturdays. See you soon.

08/02/2024

Hey Forestville folks (and Forestville fans)! It's been such a busy week that we're just finally getting the menu posted to socials...lots of gorgeous goodies per usual! We'll be here tomorrow from 10-3.

We have a very exciting recent addition to our Kitchen in the form of a merchandising freezer, which means that rather than just 2-3 house made soups per week, we now have over a dozen options at any given time! Also a dedicated spot for our Mama Mel's gluten-free breads and bagels, and other great frozen meals and baked goods. Check it out next time you are here!

Heads up that the Kitchen will be closed next week (August 7-10). School starts the following week, so we're going to take a little time to enjoy the last bit of summer before we have an official 7th grader on our hands! Come by tomorrow and stock up so you can live without us for a week. We'll miss you, and be back very soon!

6490 Mirabel Road, up by the post office in Forestville. Open Weds-Fri 9-3, and Saturday 10-3.

07/24/2024

YOU GUYS! We are SO spoiled this week. Its pretty exciting! Reubens will be ready by noon on Thursday (if you haven't tried one yet, you should...we make them rarely and always sell out quickly), and the rest is already filling up the case! Ahi Poke Bowls with sticky brown rice, Grilled Flank Steak with Chimichurri, Grilled Chicken Satay, and so much more! We are here until (at least) 3 p.m. through Saturday.

We're heading out for the day in a few minutes, and wanted to drop this week's menu here before we go! Polenta week is always a good week, and bonus...it happens to fall on a week when it's WAY too hot to cook! Come by tomorrow and Saturday...we'll be here until at least 3. (For those that don't know...we stay later than 3 when our catering schedule allows...our posted hours are minimum hours. Today, for example, we will be here until about 5:15. So if it's easy to swing by, it's always a good idea...you might get lucky!)

It's also the last week of the Cinnamon-Peach scones with Bourbon Glaze, so get 'em while you can! Another (award-winning!) summer favorite flavor is dropping soon.

On the catering front, we're starting to book holiday parties, so it's not too soon to start planning if you'd like our help making holidays special and easy breezy! Feel free to reach out if you'd like more information about how we can help.

07/04/2024

Happy Fourth! We're open today until 1 pm, so come on by and grab what you need! Pulled pork, chili, chile cheese cornbread, orzo, ceviche, and tons of fresh salsas. All freshly prepared by our skilled chefs to make your holiday easy, delicious, and fun!

Fyi, it's also nice and cool in here! Never any purchase required to come in, hang out, and cool off on these hot days (although we do also have ice cream, just saying!) Happy to have you.
