Okay…I must say, Fondue Rocks! I have never had fondue before this week…Amazing, but true! While we are in Dallas for a few weeks, we always take advantage of the rich array of amazing restaurants in the area. My husband has wanted to take me to The Melting Pot in Addison, Texas on Beltline Rd. since we were first dating in 1998, and even though we have lived here through the years, we have never actually gone…until...

I was in the mood for a “gorgeous” dinner tonight, and looked in our garden. It’s the end of summer and our garden has been better days, but we still have some stragglers: eggplant, tomato, green bean, green and red peppers, and great herbs. Voila! Instant dinner…Check it out, and enjoy the end of your summer! ~ Kimberly Edwards 😀 Type: Pasta Recipe Serve With: Your favorite wine! Prep Time: 5-10 min Cook Time:...

Summer is coming to a close…It is truly the Sunset of Summer…Don’t you want to enjoy the last bit of summer barbecuing out on your deck or picnicking in the park with family and friends? Well, I certainly do, and I intend to. If you’re anything like me, you are trying to soak up every last ray of sunshine of the summer. I am even working outside, instead of at our kitchen table. I am not a huge fan of winter,...

Grape Season Means Making Wine At Home

Posted By on Aug 26, 2007 in Uncategorized | 5 comments

It is Grape Season!!! One of my very favorite times of year. Why? Because we make wine at home! My parents have made wine at home for many many years…As long as I can remember, actually. Every grape season, we choose what kind of grapes we want to use, and order them early from a local grower. We usually make our wine with concord, Agawam, and Niagara grape varieties. We pick up about 4 bushels of grapes, and use the grapes we...

Here is a video I did a while ago, but it is still probably my favorite recipe: Lobster & Apple Stuffed Manicotti with a White Wine Reduction (and Baby Spinach Salad with a Beautiful and Ever-Easy Vinaigrette). My husband, Kenney, created and made this recipe for me for one of my birthdays years ago. He didn’t write down the recipe, so over the years, we have attempted to recreate it. This is the closest we have come, and we...

If you love #liver – then, you’ll love my Down-South Smothered Liver & Onions with Gravy recipe! Okay, I really really disliked liver and onions when I was a kid. Uhhhhh. The reason why? Well, apart from the fact that my parents told me it was beaver tail (uh, yeah, true story), but it tasted so disgustingly nasty to me. I still have a liver block to this day. However, my mother and sister are liver freaks! Well, I...
