This recipe is called "Betty Crocker's Best Chocolate Cake" and is found in the 1969 Betty Crocker's Cookbook. It was my mother's cookbook and she taught me how to bake a cake from scratch. Frosted with sweetened whipped organic cream!
At Ariel's Grotto the birthday girl was given this lovely small cake...more Disney magic!
Not as fancy as the MM pancakes we saw on the Disney twitter feed. But these made the children happy indeed!
The dessert platter is shared by all at the party and the Birthday Girl is served the mini cake in the background. Disney knows how to delight us!
Pretty and tasty. Who can't be happy in The Magic Kingdom?
A traditional Northwest celebration dinner!
Washington spring lamb, pasture raised at a local family farm. The veggies were basted with California olive oil, salt and ground pepper before grilling alongside the chops. A spring treat!
Oregon Bay Shrimp are in season! Fresh and sweet, they need no dressing. The bread is called "Manna". It's a whole wheat, carrot and raisin bread that contains no sugar. Yum!
Seasoned with fresh thyme and a mustard vinegarette. Steamed with corn, zucchini, peppers and jalapeño. Wonderful!
Fresh local chicken, no hormones or antibiotics used in raising it. Not organic but nevertheless delicious!
Napa Valley's lovely wines are included in the pre fixe brunch menu.
