I REMEMBER THE FIRST NIGHT IN OUR HOUSE QUITE WELL. Wall-to-wall boxes were stacked high enough to cover the windows, furniture was shoved in corners, bags of clothes were tossed at the foot of the stairs. The empty pizza boxes on the kitchen counter reminded my husband and me that the friends who had helped us conquer moving day were gone—and that it was now up to the two of us to make the house our home. Despite having just survived the daunting task of buying our first property, the real work was still ahead of us. For the next two years, we poured ourselves into fixing it up. The smelly old carpet was thrown out, the walls were patched and painted, the light fixtures were replaced, the kitchen was overhauled, the plumbing was fixed. And although the exterior has now been painted (for the first time in a few decades, our neighbors told us), we’ve hardly even touched our poor little yard yet. The work continues. Simply put, the making of our home has been a labor of love.

A Family Favorite CORNISH GAME HENS FROM THE HOME KITCHEN OF HEATHER LUJAN

ARTICLE CAITLIN CAUSEY | PHOTOGRAPHY MICHAEL HEFFERON

Roaring Fork Lifestyle | March 2018

"I'VE BEEN MAKING THIS RECIPE SINCE THE EARLY '90S," SAYS HEATHER LUJAN, OF HEATHER'S SAVORY PIES AND TAPAS BAR IN DOWNTOWN BASALT. "It's what my grown kids still ask for whenever they come home now." Lujan, who jokes that the well-splattered pages of her cookbooks are evidence of her life as a true self-taught chef, counts her Cornish hens as the dish that has unfailingly brought her family together for decades. "When my kids were little, they loved it because they each got their own hen," she remembers. "And no utensils for this dish—just hands. It's about the joy of food, the joy of eating." Lujan also periodically offers the dish as a special at Heather's. Call ahead at 970.927.0151. FRUIT-STUFFEDCORNISH CORNISHGAME GAMEHENS HENS FRUIT-STUFFED INGREDIENTS
