This apple fritter from Am-E-Lyn's Donuts in West Norriton melted in my mouth! Delish!
Have you ever eaten a bowl of cereal at 3 o'clock in the morning? Have you ever traveled many miles to get your favorite milkshake? Have you ever ordered cookies from a small bakery half way across the world? Have you ever driven an hour and a half to get your favorite chinese food? Have you ever bought an extra fridge to store the most delicious homemade baklava in order to have it when the craving strikes? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are in the club.

Lilly Pulitzer
It is certainly not my Guilty Pleasure but from the showing of incredible pastels & floral patterns at last nights Appleford Summer Solstice it is certainly this seasons fashion guilty pleasure. What a great event. Our thanks to everyone who assisted with this great event and a great wedding and event site.

Bananas Foster
Rocco, Sous Chef of Provence Catering, was the master of the rich, decadant BANANAS FOSTER at the Appleford event last night. So sweet and gooey, the combination makes your tastebuds jump!
Also a delight were the flowers donated by Hairy Mary's Inc. Hairy Mary's sits on 6 acres in Bucks County where they grow many of their own flowers. Their arrangements are always stunning. Also check out their antiques and accessories in their shop!

Monkey Bread
Renee Grande at Events by Monroe sent us her favorite guilty pleasure... a sticky, sweet, moist concoction called Monkey Bread in Ocean City, New Jersey. The treat even has two kinds of icing! I have to agree with her. It is awesome!
A Maryland Favorite!
Sweet corn crab cakes! These were prepared by Provence last night for an Albert Einstein event. Yum!

Crunchy, Cheesy Chip
Doritos are one of those weird cravings I get when I'm not expecting it. Licking the cheese off my fingers might be my favorite part.
Pair it with Provence's wonderful mango salsa and you have a creation made in heaven.

Mac and cheese
I absolutely love a really great, creamy, buttery, oozing with cheese mac and cheese. Not the boxed variety, but a great blending of cheeses served piping hot! Yum!!! Sometimes the server makes this recommendation falsely. I have found "it's better than Mom's" means it really isn't and in actuality the server's mom is not a good cook. What a let down.
Babka, Babka, Babka......Just the smell can make you weak.
Nothing is more enticing then the smell of freshly made Babka at the Town Crier Bakery at Peddler's Village in Lahaska, PA. As a young boy growing up in Lawrenceville, I can remember the excitement of walking through their doors with my mom to heaven on earth, Babka Town. Your mouth smiles, your eyes gleam and your taste buds dance with excitement as you await this warm Eastern European delicacy. Grandma would be proud to call this scrumptious dessert her own. If you cannot make it Peddler's Village for Babka, why not try baking some at home. There's a great recipe on RecipeZaar.com for Chocolate Babka. Let us know how yours turns out.
Kentucky Fried Chicken!
Greasy, fried chicken! Everything from KFC is a guilty pleasure!
From their website, "KFC is world famous for its Original Recipe® fried chicken -- made with the same secret blend of 11 herbs and spices Colonel Harland Sanders perfected more than a half-century ago."
I found the recipe to their Kentucky biscuits that I love so much!
KENTUCKY BISCUITS
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
2/3 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable shortening
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 425ºF. Sift together flour, salt, sugar and baking powder into mixing bowl. Make a well in the flour mix and add the milk. Add shortening and begin kneading with hands (to cut in) the vegetable shortening and flour in the milk until thoroughly mixed. Add milk, if needed to form, and mix. Turn onto floured board, and knead gently 6 to 8 times. Pat dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into biscuits. Place on baking sheet and brown in oven 10-13 minutes. Makes about 9 biscuits.
Don't forget the honey!!! The biscuits won't taste the same without the sticky, gooey honey.

Dancing with the Stars
We received a Guilty Pleasure in our mailbox from Bob Tomasso, the Facility & Events Director at the Phoenixville Foundry! He reluctantly admitted that he and his wife watch the reality TV show, "Dancing with the Stars," on a regular basis. What makes him continue to watch? The outfits!
