Lidl and Store Finds

Grocery shopping is a weakness of mine. Pre-pandemic, I loved walking up and down every isle of the store to see what I could find. Don’t get me wrong, I do have a shopping list. But sometimes the best finds are not on the list. I don’t always walk up and down every isle now,Continue reading “Lidl and Store Finds”

Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

I love mushrooms, especially stuffed with crab meat.🦀 My quick and easy cheat to stuff portobello mushrooms – use frozen crab cakes.😆 First preheated the oven to 400. Then remove the stems and scoop out some of the center of the portobello. (I don’t waste the stem and inside; I set aside for later.) RubContinue reading “Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms”

However, their drinks, beer selection and menu (especially the burgers🍔) is the main reason to check out the Pour House, regardless what day of theContinue reading “The Pour House (Exton)”
