****This giveaway is now closed****
Seeing that I'm playing in Japan with Shelby - it only feels right to do this giveaway. Shelby is the one who introduced me to our best bites. It's where I have gotten several recipes that I love. Especially White Chocolate Pumpkin Cheesecake with Pecan Ginger Crust. Super yummy and scored lots of $$ for our young women/young men.
Our Best Bites has produced a cookbook. Super excited to get mine!! My favorite recipe of theirs I had when I stayed with Shelby in D.C. in July. It's their Garlic Rosemary Potatoes. We doubled the sauce and covered a pork loin with the sauce and cooked it until almost done then put the potatoes to cook with it. Seriously, divine!!
So, lets go! Give me some yummy recipes!!

I've been reading for a while but thought it was about time I commented...
Classic Grilled Cheese
Sharp White Cheddar Cheese
Medium Yellow Cheddar Cheese
Tomatoes
Sourdough Bread
Layer so your tomatoes are in the middle of your 2 types of cheese. Grill and serve with fresh fruit or salad!
Have a fabulous time on your trip! We should talk when you get home so you can tell me all the ins and outs of flying into Japan.
Well, there are so many yummy recipes! My current favorite is a soup -- spinach tortellini. It's fantastic.
In response to your question about artichokes, I don't have recipes that use them too often. One recipe I'll pass on is this:
http://hunwhatsfordinner.blogspot.com/2011/03/spinach-and-artichoke-mac-and-cheese.html
And, another is wild rice, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, tuna fish and artichokes. Cook the rice, steam the artichokes, warm the tuna and serve over pita chips with feta and tomatoes.
Blessings!
My sister-in-law gave me this and I LOVE it. You can actually freeze these and pull one out whenever you are needing something yummy.

I have SO MANY FAVORITES!!! I have been trying A LOT of new recipes lately. I am either falling in love with them, thinking they were good but too much work for a mommy of 3 small children, or they turned out-- not so good! But I love trying them!
Anyway,
I think I have to post 2! A dessert and a main dish!
Dessert first:
Raspberry Creme Fraiche Tart
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
7 TBSP unslated butter (cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 large egg
Filling:
4 ox cream cheese
1/4 cup creme fraiche
3 1/2 tbsp lavendar honey (I found clover honey works better-- to my taste buds anyway)
Make Crust: In a food processor pulse together all crust ingredients until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Put tart pan (i like to use mini tart pans.. 8 of them) on baking sheet and press dough evenly onto bottom and up side of tart pan. Chill shell of 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350F. Line shell with a buttered cheet of heavy aluminum foil (butter side down) and fill shell 1/3 the way up with pie weights or raw rice. Bake on sheet for 20-25 minutes until edges are pale golden. remove aluminum foil and bake another 20 minutes. Cool completely on rack before adding filling.
Filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add creme fraiche and 1 1/2 tbsp honey and whip uintil well combined. Spread in shell and top with raspberries. Heat remaining honey until liquified and drizzle over raspberries.
As for the main dish: This one comes from Our Best Bites (Thanks again Shelby!)
