If you have never ate at this restaurant, I recommend finding one soon and giving it a go.  You can find their menu online along with pictures of all their dishes.

I have ate at a few different locations in Kansas, Ohio and Colorado and have never had a bad experience. I have had the Japanese Pan noodles, Pad Thai, Bangkok Curry, Spaghetti and meatballs, buttered noodles, Fried dumplings and many more dishes. The following picture is of Pan noodles.

Blueberry Almond Crepes


These are my favorite crepes to make. With a little practice you will learn to love making crepes in your home too. You can change them around so much with different fillings and toppings that you may never have the same one twice in a year. Great fillings for breakfast include egg, cheese and sausage or an orange sunshine filling that can be found doing an online search But my favorite is the Blueberry Almond Crepes.  Following is the recipe for the crepes I make, the creme filling I put in them and the homemade blueberry compote I add to the center.. I also add banana slices on occassion.

Breakfast Crepes

Ingredients
4 eggs
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
2 T light brown sugar
1/2 tsp. almond extract

Directions

In a blender container, place eggs, flour and milk, brown sugar and almond extract. Spray crepe pan or small fry pan with non-stick cooking spray. Heat over medium heat until hot. Add about 3 tablespoons of batter to the hot pan, tilting the pan to make an even layer. Cook on one side until crepe begins to brown, about one minute. Remove from pan, place on a piece of wax paper. Repeat with remaining batter, layering the crepes on top of each other.

Yield: 18 crepes

Filling:

8oz softened cream cheese

1 1/4 c powdered sugar

1 ½ C cool whip

Cream the cheese and sugar. Fold in cool whip. Put a dollop into each crepe.

Blueberry Compote Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen blueberries
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Directions

Combine 1 cup of the blueberries, water, sugar and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over a medium heat for about 10 minutes. Add the rest of the blueberries and cook for 8 minutes more, stirring frequently. Serve warm.

Blackhorse Pub and Eatery.


I revisited the Blackhorse (again and again) with a group of friends. We ordered several different items and enjoyed trying each others order and appetizers. I ordered the BBQ Bacon cheeseburger (without a bun) with a side of black beans and rice.

A fried chicken salad was ordered and this thing was huge. Would have fed two people. The fried chicken strips  have a great flavor in the breading and the chicken is very tender and moist.

Another burger was ordered and it was just as good looking as the first burger that came out. It was a mushroom swiss burger with a side of fries.

Not to be outdone, a philly cheesesteak pizza was ordered to attend the party. This thing had those little sandwiches beat hands down! The pizza itself was large enough to feed three people…..or my teenage son!

And last…..but always first on our tables…. Appetizers!

We ordered beer cheese and chips, bacon cheddar fries, artichoke dip and black bean dip… and they all came to please!! There wasnt one thing on this table that we didn’t like… to the very bottom of the dish!

Away from post but not from food :)


Friends,

I have been away from my posting for a while now but have not been away from good eats! Although Our husbands have returned from their overseas tours, we still manage to get out for good food and great chats. I have kept up with the pictures but just have not had the time to get them posted on here. Hopefully, I can get them all on here over the next two weeks then get back to my regular posting. Wish me luck!

 

Happy Eating!

Blackhorse pub and eatery, clarksville Tn


I have to say, I think the blackhorse has the best bacon/cheese fries around. Huge portion!  And Jeri introduced me to the best Black Bean Hummus with warm pita bread. It was so yummy.

Jeri had a salad with fried chicken strips that could have fed both of us along with leftovers and I had the French Dip sub. My dish came with a side so I chose Mac and Cheese but I did not like it. everything else was just super.

And the ambiance was very pleasant with the sounds of music and chatting college students.

A definite must eat again!!!

Hananoki japanese steakhouse on Wilma Rudolph rd in CLarskville, Tn


Spent Valentines dinner with Jeri at Hananoki steakhouse.   It wasn’t too long of a wait considering it was a Saturday evening. I had the Teriyaki Chicken and J had the steak. The meal was served with their soup and salad with ginger dressing. The chef cooked up veggies, shrimp and fried rice to go along with our meats. All the while, entertaining us with his cooking skills.  The meal was good and the conversation with the older couple beside us was very plesant. Afterwards, we went and had a cup of coffee and a bit more chat at Lasaters coffee before the clock struck 12 and our carriages turned back to pumpkins.  🙂
