BrunchWeek is Coming Up

We're almost to BrunchWeek, a great swap of brunch recipes that was cooked up by Terri from Love and Confections and Christine from Cook the Story.

We have 31 bloggers participating and 116 posts pre-scheduled. That should give you plenty of inspirational fodder for your Mothers' Day feasts. And it's a great way for me to meet new foodies in the blogosphere; I hope to give a shout-out to all of the bloggers who are cooking and posting for the event. Check out their blogs, but make sure you have a napkin nearby. You might just drool on your keyboard.

Today, I'd like you to meet...Aly of Cooking in Stilettos who mentioned making beignets for the event.* Susan, the Girl in the Little Red Kitchen, is tempting us with her strawberry rose sangria - a perfect libation to cap off my cooking with flowers adventure! Lanie of The Vintage Cook is teasing us with Mrs. Lund's Fresh Plum Cake. That's a whole lot of yumminess going on. Can't wait to follow along with these creative gals.

*Bear in mind that recipes selections are subject to change. I know I've already swapped out some of what I had planned based on what's in season!

Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos .
