We had two special guest come visit us Friday and stay through Saturday, my husband's parents. They only live three hours away but we do not get to see them very much and every time they come down it is such a nice treat especially for my two little peeps.
Gammie Ann is a retired caterer (or at least she is retired until someone slightly twist her arm and she cooks something scrumptious for their special event) She is a wonderful cook and loves to experiment, especially on us. I think of her is a combo of buttery Paula Deen (without the potty mouth and diamond rings dripping off her fingers) and classic Ina Garten minus the Hampton's snobby laugh, you know exactly what I mean.
She is both of those ladies best qualities and she can talk cooking, baking, preserving and roasting ALL day long. It is like Food Network without all the advertisements. This trip she made fresh fruit rolls with mint, lime, honey dip. The dip was wonderful and the fruit rolls need a little more fine tuning but have great potential.
Sara had so much fun helping make the fruit rolls. I love seeing the two of them work together in the kitchen. There is something about two generations creating something together that is just magical.
I love how you can just tell my sweet peep is listening and learning from her grandmother.
