Bloomin' Lilies

Remember last week

when I showed you

my black & white table?

The lilies are blooming, and aren't they pretty?

I got these at Whole Foods for $6.99

Whole Foods and Central Market are my favorite places

to buy pretty flowers

Wine Snob Confession #15

While at Whole Foods the other day,

I picked up this wine  for about $11

Times Ten Cellars is local to the D/FW area

I would definitely buy it again

Cookbooks I'm Coveting

I was in Costco on Saturday, and I saw these 2 cooksbooks.

Unfortunately, I was on a strict budget so I couldn't get them..

....yet

Reata Southwest Cookbook by Mike Micallef

I absolutely love the Reata Restaurant in Fort Worth

I have to admit that it has been a while since I've eaten there

It is my favorite restaurant in Ft Worth

I might even say it's my favorite of all the D/FW restaurants

I just have to get this book!

It will be mine !

This is the 2nd time that I've seen this cookbook

The Texas Cowboy Kitchen by Grady Spears with June Naylor

Check out Grady's site here

(There are some other cookbooks of his that I want, too)

I've been intrigued with this rustic cooking style

since we attended a BBQ back in May where they served

this pie that was cooked on open fire

Nothing bundt Cakes

I first heard of Nothing bundt cakes back in 2009

When Aunt Janae send me this lovely cake

for my birthday

In Dallas, I came across this one off Preston Road & Royal Lane

Of course, I just had to stop

ooh la laaaaa!

so many choices...

which one do I choose?

 I chose this one

The pecan praline bundtlet

yum

What an adorable name

bundtlet

I had heard that Jennifer Carr's

"Hot Mama Aprons"

were selling at Nothing bundt Cakes

so, of course I had to buy one

I gave it to one of my foodie friends for her birthday

she absolutely loved it
