Celebrated my sweet friend Deb’s 20th anniversary of her 21st birthday in Geneva, Illinois today. Geneva is about 40 miles west of Chicago. So fun! Loved getting together with ten ladies to laugh over mimosas and enjoy a delicious celebratory meal in honor of our treasured friend. One of the things I love about Deb is that she’s a great cook and foodie. I had no doubt that we’d have a yummy dining experience. The restaurant was wonderful and worth the ride west. (good choice Kara!)
The name of the restaurant was Wildwood. They serve a very nice a la carte brunch on Sundays. I would highly recommend this to anyone who might venture out that way for a day of fun and shopping.
I had the Grand Marnier french toast….absolutely delicious. Certainly a recipe I must try, I’m thinking very, very simple. Might be delicious to make a baked french toast that sits in the refrigerator overnight and baked in the morning….yeah, that sounds really good! The taste was exquisite. Served alongside my tipsy french toast were four strips of delicious thick sliced apple-wood smoked bacon, lingonberry jam, maple syrup, and skillet roasted red skin potatoes. Oh, and a bowl of fruit… can you say “food coma?”
So. Make a plan to go to Geneva with some girlfriends. Have a mimosa or a bloody mary. Order something you wouldn’t make at home. Enjoy.
Have a great week!
