cookie swap

I tagged along with The Table Runner to a Utah Food Bloggers brunch today. We went to The Wild Grape Bistro. Maybe one day I'll be a real food blogger...until then I'm happy to tag along with one.

My mom and I split their version of eggs benedict and a blue corn waffle. The eggs came served on thick, flavorful bread with a Wyomato slice (remember these from the farmer's market?), delicious ham and a very lemony sauce. The blue corn waffle was crisp and soft and was topped with a fancy shmancy orange marmalade and vanilla cream.

We all came with a dozen cookies and left with a dozen different cookies. I was definitely out of my element. Just look at some of these treats...

I didn't get a chance to take a photo of my mom's cherry chocolate crisp cookies...but they are like a Milano cookie only better (which I didn't think was possible)! I think over all my favorite were Tiff's cookies--the ones with red cranberries and green pepitas in a crunchy butter cookie. They were so Christmasy looking and I loved the texture and flavor.

I brought some sweet n' salty chocolate chip cookies--my mom's recipe, of course. They are fun twist on the normal chocolate chip cookie.
