Foodie Heaven

Sorry for the delay.  I could say I've been busy, but that would be lying.  Lazy would be more like it I think. Before I forget, check out the recipe page for a quick Southwest Pasta dish. It's tasty!

Last night I attended Corks and Forks with my friend Beth.  I look forward to this event each year (while my husband who has to work at the event dreads it).  For those of you who are not familiar with it, just imagine a ballroom with over 100 wines to try and over 30 restaurants with food to sample. Everything is unlimited with your paid admission ($50 donation to the Decatur Arts Council) so you can eat and drink until you can't anymore! 

Some of the highlights of the night included Lobster Ravioli from Tuscany Steakhouse, Coconut Shrimp from the Decatur Park District, Shrimp and Scallop Ceviche from Paco's Sol Bistro, Baby Cakes cake balls, Pork and Ham Sandwiches from The Decatur Club, and many many more!

We have already started counting down the days until next year's event.  If you would like to join us, just let me know!!!  It will be an awesome time, just be prepared to forget about the diet/healthy eating for 1 night!

New Recipe

Check out the cooking page for an awesome pulled pork recipe! It was a hit!

Brrr....

It's cold and rainy... I want nothing more than to go home and curl up on my couch and relax.  I also seem to get the 'cooking bug' when I'm stuck inside so tonight will be perfect for the last batch of chili for the season!

Be on the lookout for our special chili recipe coming up soon.  It even has a few 'secret' ingredients!  In the meantime, check out the cooking blog for an all new recipe: yummy meat loaf!

Oops!

So I realized that while I have been doing well with the cooking blog, I have neglected the other two blogs. Oops.  I have actually been pretty busy the past few weeks which is good (and Spring is in the air so I am spending as much time as possible outside!)

As for the crafting blog, I've said it before and I'll say it again: I PROMISE I will get there eventually.  Lately I've been focusing on my hand-painted glasses (Whimsy Glass, check it out on facebook). I did a trunk show this week at Petals in downtown Decatur and now have over 20 new glasses in stock.  If you are around you should definitely check out the shop. Kari, the owner, has some amazing things just in time for Spring.

For now, just keep a close eye on the cooking blog.  I hope some of you will try out a few recipes (and let me know when you do).  The nice thing about these is that they have already been tested by me so you know they will be deeeeelish.

Speaking of, I think I'm headed to make a new cooking post now!
