Tracking Back.

So like I promised, I am going to start posting pictures of my inner foodie. But I'm going to post a few at a time and of course in chronological order haha.







So it looks like food blog portion is going to begin with nothing other than the THUNDER MUFFIN!! These muffins come from Lampe, MO (or somewhere around there). For 6 years in a row I went to a camp called "Kanakuk Kamps" and right around the corner is Permission HIll Farms. They have a berry farm and you can pick fresh berry and get some of the most amazing muffins you will ever eat! Oh the childhood memories are coming back. So when I found out that they delivered these 4 inch in width muffins, I knew I had to order some. Ok. So I can't lie, I was hugely disappointed!! The muffin top was pretty good, but everything else was dry!! I wanted to relive my memory of sitting out at the farm with my parents at the picnic tables eating these wonderful blueberry muffins. I guess some things are just not meant to be frozen and shipped. But if you are ever near the area, DO go and get a fresh one. They will not disappoint!!











So you are probably wondering, The Hobbit Hole Cafe???? YES thats right! This place lies in the heart of Montrose (which is in Houston). This place has been around for 37 years!! Now I think you know a place must be good if its been around for that long! Its like a little Village House for a restaurant. As soon as you walk in the door you are welcomed by all things Lord of the Rings. I have tried so many things on the menu and they are all so good. The portions are HUGE. (unfortunately I didnt take pictures of my meal this time around). But I got fish tacos this time. But as you can see, I took a picture of the fruit plate. Its so delicious and the one thing that I get with my mom everytime that we go! Its all kinds of fruit with some yogurt mixture and some slivered almonds and shredded coconut. Its to die for. So on this day when my mom and I went to the Hobit Cafe we also went to a place called Ruggles Cafe and Bakery located in Rice Village (in Houston). My mom is usually the person who gets dragged on all my foodie adventures. But she really enjoys it too! We try to try a new place every week while I'm at home for the summer. So after we ate our delish food and big portions at Hobit Cafe we headed out to do some thrift shopping and let our food settle and went to Ruggles where I heard they had some amazing desserts!!



Ok, so let me just let your eyes feast on this amazing goodness for a little bit.. ...............................................................................................

Ok taken it all in?? So my mom and I (and my dad, but he wasn't on this adventure with us unfortunately) like to get A LOT when we are trying something new because we have the tendency to not be able to decide what we want! So why get boggled down on decisions, just order a few things! So let me break down for you what we have in this picture of heaven. We have the Charlottes Web. Which was chocolate cake on the bottom, layered with expresso pudding, layered with whipped cream, layered with chocolate sauce, layered with heath bar pieces. NEXT we have a cappuccino with an amazing ginger cookie, complete with a dark chocolate spoon (which i had already pretty much eatin) NEXT: The most amazing (well tied) white chocolate bread pudding with raspberry sauce.
Thank You Ruggles Cafe. I will be back for more.

One of my favorite desserts is bread pudding, and my favorite comes from Pine Forest Country Club (where my dad manages, well where he did as of this past weekend, like I said in the previous post, he is moving jobs) ANYWHO, Ruggles is known for their bread pudding and I knew I had to try it and compare. AND oh budddddddy! Does it ever compare. Its either JUST AS good or BETTER! OH how I love me some bread pudding.

Ok, thats all for tonight. I'll probably post a new one tomorrow with another round of a ridiculous amount of pictures!
