We started the New Year off with a new muffin recipe <a href="http://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/eggnog-coffee-cake-muffins/">Egg Nog Muffin</a>! They were fabulous and I will make them again when Egg Nog is in the stores.<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">For Christmas, Melinda gave us the Pioneer Woman's new cookbook A Year of Holidays. It was the inspiration for our dinner on January first. I called it our Black-eyed Pea Extravaganza. I served </span><a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2010/12/zannies-black-eyed-pea-dip/" style="text-align: left;">Zannie's Black-eyed pea dip from the Pioneer Women </a><span style="text-align: left;">, Black-eyed Pea Salad, and </span><a href="http://hepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2012/12/black-eyed-peas/" style="text-align: left;">Hoppin' John</a> and Loaded Cornbread from the new cookbook. The cornbread was fixed in Boston, Denver and Waco we adjusted it a little because the vegetables got a little to soggy on the bottom for us Texans! Melinda had the best results since she lives in Denver she had the advantage of living in a later time zone. She did not saute the vegetables and just mixed them into the cornbread. <br />

<b>Black-Eyed Pea Salad</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2 cans black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 large can of corn, drained and rinsed</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/2 red onion, diced</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/2 bunch of cilantro chopped</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 pint or small container cherry tomatoes quartered</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/3 cup of Garlic Expressions Salad Dressing<br />
1 bell pepper any color chopped</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Salt and Pepper to taste</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Add ingredients together and let it set for about an hour at room temperature so that flavors marinate together. It is great served as a salad or as a salsa with chips. Also the Garlic Expressions makes this salad taste outstanding. If your local store does not carry it I have had to order it online before. I have written a previous post about it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I hope all are having a great start to the New Year and trying to stay warm.</div>

May was graduation month in our family. It started with our youngest graduating from Boston University on Friday, May17th. We are proud of her earning her Masters of Social Work. Here are a few pictures of that day. We were really sad not to be with her after her ceremony because we were on a plane heading to Denver!! I love the picture of Jim helping LM getting ready for the ceremony.</div>

May was really busy for us with travel. We had a business meeting following the graduations so our oldest daughter joined us for fun! I love the Art Museum in Chicago and we started there with a great picture of the lion. We took some great selfies and ate at our favorites restaurants Mercat a la Planxa and Le Colonial. </div>

In June I joined my oldest daughter for a trip to Door County. I had heard of it for years so we decided to go. It was beautiful and we had a great time. I love the water of Lake Michigan or as the locals say the Green Bay (part of Lake Michigan), it is perfectly clear with smooth stones. We enjoyed some farm to table restaurants. I saw some beautiful quilts on the tour of the Light House. </div>

Since 1989 we have traveled to Estes Park Colorado. We go several times each year so I have a ton of pictures from there, so I will only post pictures from Thanksgiving in Estes Park. We had a wonderful time with our family while there and yes I cooked a lot!! Those pictures will be a food post.</div>

I went to my first quilt show and loved it! We went to QuiltCon in Austin. I was so inspired and saw the creative way that quilting has evolved. I can hardly wait to the next one in 2015. I hope it is in Austin again, if so I will go for 2 days so I can see it all.</div>

We had so much fun! Here are some pictures of what we got to see and do. <br />
But first of all here is the quilt that I sent LM on her bed in Boston. It is the pattern called Yellow Brick Road. It is made with a fat quarter selection of Pearl Bracelet fabric by Andover Fabrics and an Amy Butler fat quarter selection, the border is also an Amy Butler fabric. I love the way it turned out.<br />

But I will start with last Thursday night and the <a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2013/08/brown-sugar-oatmeal-cookies/"> Oatmeal Cookies from the Pioneer Woman</a> that I made just for fun. You can not eat just one which meant they all got sent to the Mr's office on Friday morning. They are simply delicious fresh out of the oven. This is one of the many reasons that I have been cooking a lot of recipes from Cooking Light this summer.<br />

I had not really realized when I planned this week away that it really was going to start my month of Spring Break. My youngest daughter came home from Boston for her Spring Break upon my return from Colorado. We had so much fun!! Then the next week my middle daughter came home to run in the annual half marathon at Baylor. We had a blast!! I have cooked a lot this month, knitted a lot, and worked on a quilt top. Here are some of our fun pictures.<br />

We then went to <span id="goog_1155236649"></span><a href="http://www.roughcreek.com/">Rough Creek Lodge </a> for a wonderful evening of fun and food. We love to take friends to Rough Creek that have not been to Texas before for a great introduction to Texas. We started the evening with some Five Stand and then a fabulous meal!! The Five Stand was a hit!! It goes with out saying that the food was over the top. <span id="goog_1155236650"></span><br />

I started by working on a block of the month project. It was a technique I had not done before called paper piecing. I think it may be a little early to say but truly not my favorite.<br />

These were over the top!!!!!! I made them for a dessert one evening and they were sooo good. The cream on them is cream cheese, butter and powdered sugar. The pancakes called for a 1/2 cup of cocoa and I did not add the red dye. It was like eating a brownie pancake.</div>

That was my reaction about last night's episode of Downton Abbey. I had accidentally learned that Dan Stevens(Matthew Crawley) had not renewed his contract. I was on the internet reading about the Academy Award nominees and was trying to figure out what movies Jessica Chastain(The Help) had been in over the years; when the future of Downton Abbey star Dan Stevens was revealed.<br />
<br />
All I can say about last night is that I was more angry than sad! The consensus on blogs today is how dare PBS try to raise funds after this ending. But I will say after all is said and done we will all return to watching it loyally.<br />
<br />
We can not give up following the following characters:<br />
<br />
1. Mr. Carson...he loves the rules!<br />
2. Mrs. Hughes' compassion for Tom and her co-workers.<br />
3. Mrs. Patmore and her wardrobe after last night!!<br />
4. Alfred's love for cooking...who knows where that is going.<br />
5. Thomas' new leaf...can it last?<br />
6. Miss O'Brien....what a web she weaves!!<br />
<br />
Above all else of the downstairs characters<br />
ANNA AND MR. BATES what a precious part of the plot line last night.<br />
<br />
Then of course there is the family.<br />
1. We would not have great one liners to discuss on Mondays. Thank you Maggie Smith!!!<br />
2. Lady Edith and her scandal<br />
3. Maybe long suffering Lady Mary....and her future.<br />
4. Will the next few years still give us a jolly time?<br />
<br />
I had a meal last night that reminded me of some wonderful meals that we have had on a cold day in the UK.<br />
<br />
I will had the recipe soon, but for know here is a picture of the Chicken Pot Pie that we ate during the last episode.<br />

<br />
The first time that I heard of Shrove Tuesday was when we were in London on Shrove Tuesday. There were signs advertising serving shrove pancakes. Upon return home I started reading about the meaning of this day and really liked the idea of this kind of celebrating of the Lenten season. One of my daughters said that I may be watching too much Downton Abbey!<br />
So in celebration of Shrove Tuesday, I decided to make pancakes (the Mr.'s favorite food group)!<br />

They are wonderful!! In fact I will make them again. It is one of the first recipes that I pinned on Pinterest and had not made them. They are the best combination of flavors and really are easy to make. I found them on Recipe Girl's blog. You can find the recipe<a href="http://www.recipegirl.com/2012/02/16/bacon-and-corn-griddle-cakes/"> here</a>. <br />

I know that after last night we decided that we will celebrate the Lenten Season by eating pancakes on Shrove Tuesday. The Mr. started the day off correctly by having a breakfast meeting and eating his favorite blueberry pancakes. There are so many creative ways to make pancakes these days! Yes finding a baby in a King cake is fun but I liked this much more. <br />

<br />
We enjoy this recipe so much that I use it year round with different fresh berries.<br />
<br />
I found this recipe in <a href="http://peach-tree.com/cynthias-cookbooks/">The Peach Tree Tea Room Cookbook </a> many years ago. It is really worth buying in fact all of their cookbooks are wonderful. <br />
I have made the recipe easier for me to make because the Mr. eats these like cookies and I call them sweet biscuits.<br />
<br />
Sweet Biscuits<br />
<br />
2 cups flour<br />
1/4 cup sugar<br />
1 Tablespoon baking powder<br />
1/2 teaspoon salt<br />
1 stick of butter, very cold (I stick it in the freezer for a few minutes) then cut into small pieces<br />
1 egg, beaten<br />
2/3 cup half and half<br />
melted butter<br />
sugar for sprinkling<br />
<br />
Combine all the dry ingredients in your food processor and pulse just to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mix is coarse and you can see small pieces of butter. Then add the egg and half and half and pulse until just moist. I put a piece of wax paper on my counter with flour dusted on the wax paper. I add a little flour to the dough if the dough is too sticky. I pat the dough out until it is about a 1/2 thick. Cut the dough with a cookie cutter to make in the desired shape and size you want. I used a fluted biscuit cutter in the picture above. I have made them heart shaped for Valentines. Bake for 10-12 minutes in a 425 degree oven on an ungreased cookie sheet. While they are stil warm brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar. This last step makes this a wonderful dessert!!<br />
For presentation I split the biscuits in half and spoon berries (what ever is in seasons). Then I top the berries with whipped topping. They are delicious!!!<br />
<br />
I hope you all enjoy this recipe.<br />

Now that all are over the trauma of last weeks episode of Downton Abbey, we can move on to this week. I'm getting the tea service ready for a proper time while watching this week. Years ago this day became a nonevent for us, so we enjoyed the day.<br />
<br />
It was a beautiful day in central Texas!!! The Mr. stood on the diving board and was smiling while holding my quilt that I finished this past week. It is beautiful and I'm not sure that my photography skills does it justices. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Your Sunday night menu revolves around a British tradition. This week we had tea while watching Downton Abbey. I made a sweet biscuit style strawberry shortcake for tea. These are a little sweeter than a scone but wonderful. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. You start using phrases from the show in your everyday conversation such as "jolly"! This is not used very often in central Texas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. You and your friends use the names of the characters as if they live next door. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. Extremely disappointed if someone schedules a meeting that could possibly make you late to watch the show. Fortunately mine was canceled this week, it would be a little embarrassing to skip a meeting for a TV show. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. When your pastor mentions the show in his sermon and you understand his point of seeking tradition.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. You go through your pictures of the UK and try to plan a trip to visit the home where the show is filmed. When Harry Potter was first out we took our girls to King's Cross station to see Platform 9&3/4. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

As the binding is falling to the floor it is falling on her. I think by now she is napping.<br />

When I laid the quilt out to attach the binding she immediately got on it and fell asleep. I can tell that I need to finish this project in the breakfast room where I can lay the quilt out on a larger table.<br />

I'm calling this post a tribute to Garlic Expressions but it is more like I had a panic attack. I have mentioned before that I use this salad dressing all the time. I substitue this dressing for a lot of homemade recipes in salads. I get so many complements on my salads. All I know is I like the way this taste with savory salads and salads that have fruit added to them.<br />
<br />
Two weeks ago I go to our grocery store and I am making a salad for dinner that night. I go to the salad dressing aisle and there is no Garlic Expressions. So I look for the barcode tag on the shelf and it is gone. I go to the chef kiosk and ask if they know where they have put the Garlic Expressions. <br />
He calls the manager and send someone to the aisle to look for the product. He comes back to say they have never carried that product. Give me a break. I was introduced to this amazing dressing by a former chef at the store.<br />
<br />
When I checked out at the store I asked for a form to ask about the product, I stated in all caps that they have always carried it and need to get it back. I then got home and ordered 6 bottles from the company, which was a great experience. (I learned a couple of years ago that you can order directly from the company because my daughter that lives in Denver could not get it. I often brought several bottles for her when I would go for a visit. One of her local stores has finally started to carry it so she is very happy.) It has arrived and we are enjoying it.<br />
<br />
I returned to the store to buy groceries and went down the salad dressing aisle just to see what has happened. It is back on the self and with an ample supply. Meanwhile I will use the ones I ordered and buy some at the store. It really was a small panic attack but nothing else taste like this product. <br />
