The Great, Great America




You want to know why I go to Great America every year? No it's not for the terrifying roller coasters I do not ride. It's not for long lines and gazillions of people. It's for their funnel cake sundae's. People always ask... "You go all the way to Great America just for that?" YES I DO! Sure restaurants like IHop have gotten hip to this delicious treat and have released "their versions", but nobody does them like the G.A.! This is how my family and I close out our trip every year. A hot fudge and strawberry funnel cake sundae topped with vanilla ice cream and powdered sugar ($9.99 each)




P.S... Dear Great America,




Get more flavors. I'm thinking pineapple and caramel for starters. Thanks!




Sincerely,




A fan

Happily Married....A Foody Contribution



One thing I love about my friend Kyla is the way she prepares food for her family. This is one example she sent me and I told her she would be a contributing foody. Awww, doesn't this plate scream "LOVE?" Strawberry french toast, cheese eggs, and turkey sausage complete this perfect picture she prepared for her husband.


Am I the only one that can see how this kind of meal can lead to the kitchen counter *wink wink*


XOXO

Going Green...

When my grandmother told me she was hosting a "Scrabble" party I insisted on adding my two cents. What better addition to a ladies lunch then a nice green salad. But since I am a fan of a lot of ingredients I made sure this salad was a mouthful. I combined a spring mix with baby spinach and tossed the two together. I added carrots, red onions, cucumbers, shredded cheese, green peppers, and eggs. The ladies loved it. Here's hoping they contract me to do all of their game parties :)
