Gathering and Food.

Let's face it....the majority of gatherings today coexist or are based around food. Haven't seen a friend in a while.."lets go grab a drink and appetizers." It's Mother's day...."let's have a brunch." It's your kids 5th birthday...."let's make really cute superhero cupcakes!" I don't think there is anything wrong with that. In fact, I am a true believer that good food makes for a good gathering. It sets people at ease...it can get conversation flowing.

Even weekend breakfasts are something to look forward to in this household. Mike likes to experiment with pancakes and crepes. And I can't complain one bit! The photo on the side is a recent experiment of peaches, homemade nutella from a local bakery and homemade crepes. We we had grilled some peaches earlier in the week for a dessert and were given some more from some family. In other words, we had PLENTY of peaches for just two people. He mixed some sugar, flour, vanilla and water with the peaches in a sauces pan and made a peach cobbler like filling for our crepes. It was delish! I don't have exact measurements because it's based off the amount of peaches your have and amount of filling you want. So experiment away with those ingredients....want it sweeter add more sugar or vanilla....or more juicy add more water/peaches.


 I'll try to post different recipes of food, drinks, and more that we use over time but for now check out a few of these blogs I have used many times if you need some ideas.

A blog dedicated to just food with pictures to boot!

This blog is written by a couple who both loved to cook. I have used many of their recipes but their comfort foods are the ones we go back to again and again in this house.

Need a dessert? Check out this young lady, 17 and baking...her recipes are amazing! And she writes about her recipes in such an emotional way.

I'll dedicate a day to sharing some of our favorite tested recipes but in the mean time Happy Cooking from those above!
