Summer Wedding: Brad and Kristin

June 28, 2010 by Aliesha

This weekend we had the privilege of being a part of the wedding of Brad and Kristin Milks. Kristin and I have been great friends for years and was my maid of honor in my wedding. I was a bridesmaid in her wedding and also helped with her flowers. Tad helped with all sorts of things, including helping with tons of tasks and directing parking. We loved getting to be there for their beautiful, God-honoring ceremony and wonderful celebratory reception!
We are so excited for Brad and Kristin as they begin their new life together!

Fondue for Two

June 11, 2010 by Aliesha

Here’s a great Date Night idea… fondue for two! (I know… we’re really bringing back the ’70’s here!)

Let’s be honest… the real reason people go to the Melting Pot is for the amazing dessert fondue! We discovered we can make and enjoy our own chocolate fondue in the comfort of our own home. We decided that this will be a wonderful “Daddy and Mommy time” in the future after our children have gone to bed!

You can find chocolate fondue recipes in cookbooks and all over the internet, but here is the one we used last night.Fondue for Two

5 to 6 oz. dark chocolate, broken into small pieces
1/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp. butter
5 large marshmallows

Place chocolate and milk in fondue pot. Turn temperature dial to warm. Stirring constantly, add butter and marshmallows until melted.

While one spouse is making the fondue, the other spouse can be getting the “dippers” ready. Ideas include strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, bananas, marshmallows, cubed pound cake, graham crackers, tiny rice krispy treats, brownie bites, fancy cookies, and mini cheesecakes.

Dip in and enjoy!
