Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes with Milk Chocolate Earl Grey Buttercream
You may have surmised from my recent OCD posts that I am a bit competitive. No, really, I am. 🙂 Well, one of The Hubs’ colleagues at work has a girlfriend who runs a cupcake catering business. Her cupcakes are sublime. We have tasted many at different company functions and even purchased others from her…
Roasted Carrot Hummus with Orange and Garam Masala
This is an exciting new hummus full of healthiness and Indian spices (which I worked into my Food ‘n Flix post for this month).
Chocolate Pear Jam
Wow—doesn’t this sound delicious (and interesting)? This was one of the delicious chocolate-themed dishes that Chef Sarah made for us during our recent cooking class at The Canebrake. I have to say that we were not prepared for a jam. Truffles? Yes. Chocolate cups? Yes. Chocolate dipped strawberries? Yes. Chocolate jam? No. This was a…
Chocolate Almond Cups and Marble Dipped Strawberries.

Then Chef Tim Love introduced contemporary cowboy cuisine at his Lonesome Dove Western Bistro located in the Ft. Worth Stockyards. We have dined at Chef Tim Love’s Lonesome Dove and loved it. Now we do…
A Dilly of a Deli
A great breakfast spot near downtown. BEWARE of runners drinking Bloody Marys!
El Rio Verde: Authentic Mexican Fare
It is really too bad that Guy Fieri established “Drive Ins, Diners, and Dives” or I would have entitled this theme’s posts in that way. Too bad…I will have to stick with EE’s Revs and Recs (for “reviews” and “recomendations”). I had been wanting to visit El Rio Verde for a long time, ever since…
