Tasty Tidbits

 

Anyone interested in a little glimpse of our dining room? This was taken from our kitchen during the last major snow. It's all white out the window, which was really pretty. We have tons of plants in our dining room because after we moved them there during living room renovations, we decided we liked them there. It's a bit of a jungle! Mom made us the table runner & I think it's perfect for winter.

 

 

 

It was fondue night with friends on Wednesday. This time, we made a lightened up fondue by using pureed white beans. It also had Troeg's Mad Elf beer in it. Yum! For dippers, we did apple slices, carrots, roasted broccoli, sliced cherry tomatoes, & Eating Well's Spelt Indian Flatbread. It was good, as was the company. :-)

 

In other news, I've basically been cold all week. Thanks, vortex! I'm planning to spend a lot of time this weekend either in front of our fireplace or in the kitchen baking. How about you?
