Good Home Cooking NOTHING BEATS A GOOD HOME-COOKED MEAL. If I had a dollar for every time a character in a novel, movie or television show says, “Can’t remember that last time I’ve had a home-cooked meal!” ... I’d have enough money for a five-star steakhouse dinner. Whether it’s the dishes served, company kept or cozy atmosphere, there’s just something special about sitting down to a meal made from scratch. In this issue, we celebrate both home-cooked meals and the people and ingredients that help us make them memorable. Did our cover image make your mouth water? You’ll be happy to know that you can get similar recipes and “all the ingredients” from Leah Moss—owner of All The Ingredients.

GOOD TIMES
Ribbon Cutting at Mercy Health – Maineville Urgent Care There’s a new place to go for your aches, pains and after-hours care—Mercy Health’s newest location in Warren County, Mercy Health – Maineville Urgent Care celebrated their official ribbon cutting on August 30th. The location has an on-site X-ray facility, five patient rooms and one procedure room—this new center will be opening its doors to the public in mid-September. Mercy.com/ Health-Care-Services/Emergency-Urgent-Care
Sip Trip with Fifty West and Cartridge Brewing What a ride! The first annual Sip Trip went off without a hitch Labor Day weekend—50+ riders completed the 19-mile bike-trail trip from brewery to brewery, with stops at Cappy’s and Miamiville Trailyard (some rode round trip!). The catch? A beer at each destination (and a passport stamp for posterity)—including a Sip Trip Kölsh collab brewed just for the occasion.

AROUND TOWN nearsightedness in children. 20/20 Eyecare on Fields Ertel is excited to be offering this treatment for local families—and it’s available now. “Myopia Control treatment works via soft disposable contact lenses, and occasional eye drops,” 20/20 Eyecare team member Leah Jones explains. “The reason this is exciting is because, much like having braces, the treatment is a few years of commitment that provides a lifetime of results.” In addition to lessening a prescription, Myopia Control can also reduce long-term risk of retinal detachments, glaucoma and other problems. Worth looking into! 2020EyecareOH.com

I see this project as a legacy for me—it’ll be here after I am gone.” Inside?

This large window splits in the middle and bifolds out of the way for easy pass-through from the kitchen to the screened-in porch, complete with matching shelf—perfect for passing dinner outside for al fresco dining.
The final addition was a bar/entertainment area—a beautiful extra that serves an important purpose. Guests have access to beverages and snacks while the bar’s location keeps traffic out of the kitchen.

IN APRIL OF 2018, LEAH MOSS BEGAN OFFERING MEAL PREP KITS FOR YOU TO ENJOY A HOME-COOKED MEAL— HER CALLING CARD? All The Ingredients. “I love how sitting down to a meal brings family and friends together,” she says. “And I wanted to do this for other families.” Leah’s family moved to Loveland in 2005, and it’s here they’ve raised their six children. “The relationships we’ve made with others in Loveland are lifelong,” she says. “We love being part of this bustling, expanding community.” She’s been compared to a Blue Apron or Home Chef—but right here in Loveland, with pickup from Hometown Café or delivered for a small fee. Her specialty? Home-cooked cuisine that, well, you only have to cook—not prep (including options for breakfast and dessert). She also caters for events and parties. One bride gushes, “I hired Leah to cater my wedding and she was wonderful—5 stars! We wanted our reception to feel more like a party, with charcuterie for the cocktail hour and elevated comfort foods for the reception. Leah knocked it out of the park! Everything she made was beautiful and delicious. Three weeks post-wedding, our guests are still telling us how amazing the food was.” Even during a challenging pandemic, All The Ingredients surpassed expectations. “We were blown away by the growth and support that we saw through 2020—we came out of that year bigger and better,” Leah says. “I love what I do, but more importantly I love that it allows others to have a great meal and to use their time for what God has equipped them to do.” It’s easy to get started: Just email or send Leah an IG/FB message, and she’ll share details about next steps, including GF and DF options. Choose from fresh, weekly menus, priced according to servings—all of which are a snap to make, and contain everything you need to turn out quick, delicious, no-prep meals. “You’ll never have to chop an onion again!” she laughs. @alltheingredientsyum Facebook.com/AllTheIngredients alltheingredientsyum@gmail.com 22

Fresh Catch DISCOVER FRESH SEAFOOD AND SIGNATURE SIDES FROM SEAFOOD STATION
FINDING AMAZINGLY FRESH SEAFOOD IN THE SUBURBS OF A RIVER TOWN SOUNDS KIND OF OXYMORONIC FROM THE OUTSET. But step inside the Seafood Station and all doubts get washed away with just one look at their mouthwatering mussels, savory salmon, succulent shrimp, sushi-grade tuna and more. The friendly, approachable, neighborhood grocer vibe of the shop is exactly what owner Jeff Simmons was going for when he opened up his Seafood Station more than 20 years ago, serving the Greater Loveland area with premium seafood and homemade sides. Loyal customers will tell you that you’ll be greeted by name as you walk through the glass doors to select a fresh fillet. Then browse their ready-made Grab-n-Go section stocked with starters, soups, sides, sauces and entrees. Or order a party platter with cocktail shrimp, smoked salmon and dips. There’s dessert, too—Jeff’s famous key lime pie. SEAFOOD STATION: THEN & NOW Simmons initially started out in the insurance business before becoming the self-made fishmonger and selftaught chef who opened the Seafood Station in 1998. “[My dad] Jeff has faced adversity head-on and kept the doors open despite the early 2000’s recession, BP oil spill and

local road closures that blocked parking lot access,” his daughter Allison Simmons explains. “No matter the hardship, customers can always expect a ‘howdy folks!’ as they come through the front door.” According to Allison, it’s this attention to customer service that saved them from having to shutter their doors during the early months of the pandemic. “We owe our survival to our loyal customers,” she says. “However, we’ve also seen a huge growth in new faces that walk in the door. Since the pandemic, more people are seeking authentic buying experiences that support local businesses—we’re so lucky to be a part of that narrative.” And, because their longtime customers not only continued to faithfully show up but also told their friends about the shop, the Seafood Station is in the process of remodeling and bringing in some updates to keep up with customer demand. “We want to continue to expand our menu—we’re working on new recipes to introduce to our Grab-n-Go selection,” Allison says. “What won’t change is our dedication to freshness, quality and customer satisfaction.” GRAB-N-GO When you walk into the shop, the first thing you’ll notice (besides the rows of bright, beautiful pieces of fresh fish and shellfish lining their glass display case—delivered fresh on a daily basis) is the large amount of prepped food available for purchase in the freezer and on the shelves. In fact, more than 95% of the shop’s soups, sides and sauces are all made from scratch. These pre-made items span a wide variety of take-home dishes made with fresh ingredients and local produce. Customers can choose from starters like smoked salmon or salmon jerky, crab or spinach dip, crab cakes, zucchini tomato quiche—the list is long. They also offer a large selection of soups like lobster bisque, jambalaya and clam chowder; entrees like salmon burgers, seafood lasagna and eggplant parmesan; sides such as coleslaw, mac-andcheese and deviled eggs; plus a variety of house-made side sauces and dry rub seasoning to complement your seafood dishes (pro tip: get the hot cocktail sauce!). Some of the shop’s offerings change with the seasons, too—it's best to check back often to see what’s in stock. 28
Loveland Lifestyle | October 2021
HOW-TO-COOK VIDEOS, RECIPES & PARTY PLATTERS In addition to prepping lots of different foods for their customers, they also espouse the “teach a man to fish” philosophy by posting free recipes on their website, their YouTube channel and in a weekly email. “Our recipes are simple to follow, and use items found in most kitchen pantries,” Allison says. “Often, delicious dishes require less than five ingredients!” Popular choices include their macaroni-and-cheese (a hit with the kiddos), while their salmon burgers and seafood lasagna are easy pickups for families during the busy midweek run-around. As far as fresh seafood goes, the fastest-selling items will vary according to the season. Mussels and clams are more popular in the summer and early fall, while mahimahi and swordfish are frequent fare for summer grilling. Meanwhile, according to Allison, salmon is their year-long community fave because of its versatility and shoppers’ familiarity with its preparation. For larger gatherings where you don’t have the time (or desire) to cook, the Seafood Station staff will happily put together a to-go party platter for you. The pre-ordered, prepared trays range from everything you need for a DIY Low Country Boil to fan favorites like cocktail shrimp and seafood salad—with the added benefit of customization depending on the occasion.

KEEPING THE PANTRY STOCKED No matter the season or conditions, there are a few vital items that are always in short supply. 1. COFFEE & SPICES. Two things some might take for granted—the luxury of being able to brew a hot cup of java in the morning, or adding that just-right seasoning to brighten a basic meal. “If clients only have ‘X’ amount of money, it’s probably not going to go toward coffee. Think about it—I mean, coffee is expensive. Same with spices.”
