My Trip to South Bend, Indiana
I interrupt all tasty, food-related posts to share with you some pictures of my trip to South Bend. My BFF Holly is there so I went to visit her and get away from from the 90+ degree weather in the South. Here are just a few things we did: The Zoo: The South Bend Chocolate Company:…
SMS: Plum Raspberry Preserves & Stuffed French Toast
Today, our SMS recipe was chosen by Margot of Effort to Delisciousness. She chose the Plum Raspberry Preserves which is based off of Melissa’s standard preserve recipe. We made another version of this recipe a year ago and I remember how good it tasted. I also remembered how hard it got in the refrigerator, so I…
Spicy Cajun Crawfish Étouffée
I apologize for the length of time between posts. I went to visit my BFF Holly in South Bend, IN. I have pictures to share from that adventure! This is my fourth installment in my Countdown to the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. My sister and I will be leaving next week and we…
Lamb Slider with Tomato Chutney
Here is the third recipe in my countdown to the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival at Walt Disney World. Have I mentioned that my sister and I are running in the Wine & Dine Half-Marathon Relay? Have I also mentioned that we are not prepared, or at least I am not. I am glad…

I can’t believe I will have to wait until next summer to see new episodes. This season has had great one-liners ("blah blah vampire emergency blah") and we found out what…
SMS: Pear, Blue Cheese, and Walnut Muffins
I made it on time! Yes! This is a variation of the savory muffin recipe listed in the book. I liked the Caramelized Onion, Sage, and Cheddar Muffins that we made about a year ago, so I decided to give them a try. We had some pears from Mr. G’s grandmother’s tree so it was perfect timing. …
Blackberry Cobbler
Mr. G brought home some blackberries a couple of weeks ago and I decided to make a cobbler with them. Actually, I made two. One the weekend he brought the home and another this past Labor Day weekend (I froze some of them). This recipe from The Pioneer Woman was very quick. Anytime I…
Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup
Yes, I understand it is still summer, but I needed to make this soup as part of my countdown until my sister and I go to the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival in Orlando, FL. This is my sister’s favorite when she visits the Montreal, Canada kiosk , and she made a request for…
