I started last night on page 23 with the Mango Crab Stack!  and Roasted Shrimp with Artichokes & Fennel  I attempted to use my new camera to get a good photo, but I unfortunately don't have enough light is my kitchen.  So these shots were taken with my iPhone 4s and then I used Instagram filters to add depth of field!  I will attempt another shot when there is more light in the kitchen!

I am not a huge a football fan, but I do love an excuse to make tons of yummy food! and stare at Tom Brady:)  Of course I am a Patriots fan!  We started our day with Gluten Free Blueberry Pancakes with New Hampshire Maple Syrup and Smithfield Bacon.  The syrup is from our family friend's cattle farm: Star Lake Farm.  Eveytime I make pancakes it reminds me of my mother making big breakfasts on the weekend.  I plan to cook & eat all day!   In my Jessie Steele apron of course! The Jessie Steele apron make the front cover of our Junior League cookbook!  "My Mama Made That-Virginia Favorites"  It is my personal favorite and has tons of quick weeknight recipes! Here is our gameday spread!!!! and a sleepy King Louis!
