Raspberry Peach Jam Parfait

 Using ingredients I already have on hand (which is how I almost determine what we'll eat for a meal), I used some crumbled graham crackers moistened with some melted butter, homemade raspberry peach jam from my sister-in-law, the combination is quite delicious and I like its consistency, & whipped cream. I assembled the ingredients in a small mason jar. 

Adjust ingredients per your preference, I wanted more whipped cream in mine with just the right sweetness. Chill for 15 minutes. Enjoy! 

Overland Park Farmers' Market

When planning on an out-of-town trip, the very first thing I think about is going to the town's Farmers' Market. It's simply exciting!  

So, I hit up the Overland Park Farmers' Market. It was a wet, chilly and windy morning. I see busy and happy vendors despite of the rainy condition. What's good about this Farmers Market is its in a covered spot. It has an awning for a wet Saturday like it was. There were plenty of fresh produce, baked goods, food vendors, and some crafts.

My favorite bread, Ciabatta bread. It's so delicious and an inexpensive breakfast on the go.

This would be good paired with a pasta dish, salad or sandwich. I got 2 pieces for a $1. Yes!

Home made Pasta

I got Spinach Angel Hair but there are a variety to choose from. How about dark chocolate Linguine?

Kansas Barbecue

Aside from celebrating my late birthday, I thought it would be good to take a break selling at the Farmers Market this past Saturday. So to the Woodyard BBQ in Kansas City we go. I was with my husband Grant, who picked out this place for our lunch and our 4 yr. old daughter, who was ready to get out of the car. It was cold and misting when we got there. As we pull up the drive way, the place seemed to be empty as there's no sign of occupancy. When we walked inside, there were guys enjoying eating their lunch.

I had smoked ribs, chicken, sausage, brisket and cheesy corn. (I wish I had brought 2-3 cups of white rice to go with this.) My favorite are the ribs and I like eating them without the sauce.

There's plenty of both outdoor and indoor seating. We dine-in inside what looks like a garage. The decor was somewhat carefree, mismatched but filled with character.

According to the hospitable guy who works here, before they served their delicious bbq they were first known for their wood. Click here to find out more of their bbq history.

You can find Anthony Bourdain and Guy Fieri's tracks here as well.

If you're craving delicious Kansas City barbecue, Woodyard BBQ is a must stop.
