Swine & Wine Twilight Supper 2012 - Birmingham, AL



If you ever find yourself in the lovely city that I call home - Birmingham, AL - You simply MUST make time to dine at Little Savannah Restaurant & Bar.  Chef Clif Holt and his wife, Maureen, make it a not-to-miss restaurant in the "Magic City."  

Clif and Maureen have spearheaded a pretty awesome event here in Birmingham, that I want to share with you all.  It's the Swine and Wine Twilight Supper, which they created because of "a growing need for a collaborative chef driven event in support of Urban Farms."   For the dinner, the chefs will roast whole pigs overnight and whip up some amazing side dishes.  Then it will all be served as a big family-style meal.  Now, that sounds like my kind of party!

Swine and Wine 2012 is an event that I can't WAIT to attend this year!  It will benefit the Druid City Garden Project and will be held on Sunday, March 25th, 2012 from 5PM - 8PM.

A bevy of the most talented chefs from Birmingham...and around the USA...will convene to make the event extra special.  There will be outstanding food, wine and beer tastings, along with live music from the bluegrass band Lou Wamp & Swing Shift and a kids area with lots of fun things to do!

The chefs include:

I love that this even benefits the Druid City Garden Project (DCGP).  What exactly is the DCGP, you ask?  Their website explains it best...They are:

"...a community-based nonprofit in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, working to increase access to fresh, locally grown produce.  By reinvigorating vacant urban spaces with community garden plots, facilitating the development of school gardens, and implementing educational programs, the DCGP aims to reconnect Tuscaloosa’s residents to local food systems and educate the community about sustainability and healthy eating. With your help, the DCGP will act as a locus for community activity, cooperation and vitality."

Cream Cheese Banana Nut Bread - Southern Living

***There seriously aren't very many things that smell better than Banana Nut Bread baking in the oven.   Don't you agree?  This recipe for Cream Cheese Banana Nut Bread from Southern Living magazine was one of the very first recipes that I added to this blog...back in November 2007!  In fact, I came across it when I worked for the magazine as a Marketing Intern.  Back then, I didn't have a photo for every recipe, and the blog post was simply the recipe and nothing else.  Because this is my go-to recipe for Banana Nut Bread (and because it is so amazing!), I thought that it deserved a little more attention.  This is quite honestly some of the best Banana Nut Bread that I've ever had.  An entire 8oz. package of cream cheese is added right to the batter, along with 4 mashed bananas.  The cream cheese adds so much to this recipe, with an incredibly moist texture being the main component.  Plus, the roasted pecans are the perfect addition.  Roasting the nuts brings out

My Favorite Quiche!

***It's not often that a recipe is worthy of re-posting.  I think I've only done that once or twice in the entire time I've written this blog.  However, this is one of those rare occasions.  Back in 2009 when Brad and I went to Europe, we had the most amazing Quiche Lorraine at the incredible Les Deux Magots cafe in Paris.  It was delicious and was served alongside a yummy salad of fresh greens (Quiche Lorraine sur Salade Verte).  Oh, it was heaven on a plate!  It also didn't hurt that we were sitting on the patio of one of the most famous cafes in Paris, after all...haha.  The atmosphere and people-watching in that particular area are hard to beat. I'll never forget the elderly lady that was sitting at the table right next to us (the tables were situated pretty close together).  She was dressed to-the-nines, was all by herself, and was just the quintessential, classy Parisian lady.  I wish more than anything that I had tried to strike up a conversation with her

Absolutely Sinful Cinnamon Rolls

***Alrighty, here are the cinnamon rolls that I mentioned in my previous post. I put these together on Christmas Eve, and then baked them on Christmas morning. Let me just tell you...there's nothing quite like the smell of yummy cinnamon rolls wafting through the house on Christmas morning...ahhhhh...so wonderful! This is going to be a new tradition for us...fresh, homemade rolls on Christmas. I thought that I might try this recipe, and then maybe try a new one next year...until I found one that I really loved. However, I hit the jackpot on the first try! This is THE recipe that I'll always use. UPDATE:   Since originally writing this post in 2008, I've  made these cinnamon rolls every year for Christmas!  They are a holiday tradition that my family looks forward to all year!  You can see my other posts here, with lots more photos of these sinful cinnamon rolls: CHRISTMAS 2009 CHIRSTMAS 2010 CHRISTMAS 2011 The great thing was that I could prepare them on Christmas
