6th & Vine

May 28, 2015

Have you ever fell in love with something and felt like you’d never find anything like it ever again? That’s how I felt after eating what I thought was the end-all of baked brie while in London two years ago. Brie on its own is delicious. Baking brie so that the cheese is all gooey and melts in your mouth is nothing less than heavenly. So I was somewhat in mourning over the fact that I’d never find another baked brie like it ever again… And boy, was I wrong!

6th & Vine is one of my new favorite finds in the Arts District of Winston-Salem. I’d heard rave reviews of the food and drinks but I didn’t try it for myself until earlier this past spring.

Warm Apple Crisp for a Cold Winter’s Night

December 30, 2014

When I think of July 4th, one of the first things that pops into my mind is good ol’ apple pie. The epitome of American cuisine, along with its equally famous cousin the hot dog, apple pie is near and dear to my heart. So how does this dish transition into the fall and winter? By becoming apple crisp, of course! A crisp is a baked fruit dessert topped with crunchy layer of deliciousness and baked until the topping is a golden brown.

I found that this recipe can feed at least six people, maybe more if portion size was smaller. Note of warning: this recipe is not the healthy in the least bit; I could almost feel my arteries clogging with all of the butter and sugar I used. However, as Parks and Recreation taught us, it’s always a good idea to “treat yo’self” from time to time!
