He will always stand as a shining example of kindness and honor. May he always rest in peace.

Doing good is always worth a share!
Thank you Vagabond Kitchen for doing the things that make life better for your commUnity!

At Vagabond Kitchen, being part of our community means more than just serving great food—it means stepping up to lead and support whenever we can. Our Benefit Burger Program has been one of the most meaningful ways we’ve been able to give back, and it fills my heart with gratitude to see it make a difference.

Thirty-eight months. Over thirty amazing charities. Around 2,000 community members coming together to support one another. That’s the kind of impact that makes it all worthwhile.

A new Benefit Burger is on the way soon, and as we head into December, you know it’s going to be something special. Let’s keep building something beautiful together!

Happy Tuesday before Turkey Day! It’s your resident Hearth Witch the head of the Appalachian Table with a few simple tips for pie baking!

I personally hate baking pies, mostly just rolling crust!! So I usually buy premade frozen shells and go on my merry way, if you’re of the same mind, follow these easy tips for perfect pie crust edges!

You can use aluminum foil and your pie pans to cut crust protectors or pie shields ! I bet you’ve seen these metal rings meant to keep crusts from over browning during long cooking times and now you can have one in a few steps! I almost exclusively use these shields for pumpkin pie. Aluminum foil is the star here! Simply cut foil squares to a couple inches over the circumference of the pie pan, find the center and cut it out, your pies filling needs to brown not the crust! Then trim outer edges to simply drape over your pie during the last 30 minutes or so of baking. If your edges start to brown before that you can cover sooner!
Pictures show the story!

Baking is a science not a feeling, follow your recipes to the letter!

Substitutions are easy to find online for any missing ingredients.

Make what you love and you’ll always be satisfied!

Happy Thanksgiving week!

“Everyone should be able to use the bathroom without being the target of bullying – from their peers, and especially from state legislators,” Kaleidoscope Executive Director Erin Upchurch said in a statement.

“This bill has nothing to do with student safety and everything to do with political opportunism,” Ohio Federation of Teachers President Melissa Cropper said in a statement. “There is no epidemic of student assaults in bathrooms and locker rooms.”

Today, as we honor the sacrifices made by our veterans, let’s commit to action, not just words. Every day, 17 veterans lose their lives to suicide—a sobering statistic that demands our attention and support. Veterans deserve more than parades and “thank yous.” They need accessible mental health resources, community care, and a promise that we stand by them, always.

At 13 Creeks, we are proud to support veterans in the Ohio Valley and beyond. If you or someone you know is struggling, the Veterans Crisis Line is here: Dial 988, then Press 1. A simple phone call could be their last line of defense.

Let’s show our gratitude by making a real difference.
