September 22, 2014 Gracie’s
When we finally got up to Stowe Mountain Lodge in Vermont, we decided to go out for dinner. Looking for something casual, we decided on Gracie’s. I hadn’t been there since I was a kid, and that was at their old location in town. Closer to the hotel, Gracie’s is a popular casual dining spot […]

September 10, 2014 Stowe Mountain Lodge
Another summer and that means another trip up to Stowe Mountain Lodge. There is just something about Vermont that we love. I can’t quite figure out what it is, but the people are nicer, the air seems fresher and crisper, and the food is outstanding. There was some blasting on the highway on the way […]

September 30, 2013 Hen of the Wood
We came up to Vermont and couldn’t wait to share this place with friends. As fellow foodies, we knew Hen of the Wood won’t disappoint them. The summertime is so lovely here. When we arrive, our table is not ready, so we are shown out to the back patio. There are a couple of tables […]

September 26, 2013 Crop Bistro
The Crop is the space that used to be The Shed – boy do I miss that place. We’ve been here before, and the service was painfully slow. When we arrive, there is no one at the host stand and we decide that judging by the amount of people in the main dining room, we […]

September 3, 2013 Stowe – Hot Air Balloon Festival
We decided to take a summer time long weekend with friends. On the way of course we stopped at my favorite farm, Cobb Hill. I love this photo. I went to take a picture of the hen house and all the hens came running! We stayed again at the Stowe Mountain Lodge. The lobby is […]
August 26, 2013 Solstice
Solstice is the main restaurant in Stowe Mountain Lodge. Breakfast is served from 7-11. Sunday morning, while the guys play golf, we go out to breakfast. They have coffee in the bar area outside the restaurant (see picture above), but they have run out and people are starting to get antsy. I had made a […]

August 19, 2013 Pie in the Sky
The first night we are in VT we decide to go out for a casual bite – pizza at Pie in the Sky. This place is always jamming! We are lucky to not have to wait for a table and order up two pizzas. The waitress is the same as we had the last time […]
