Hey Ya'll!

Today, I wanted to talk more about Maryland food! (mmm my favorite!)

Not only are (Maryland) crab cakes the best...but so are (Maryland) crab pretzels!

A crab pretzel consists of a warm, soft, salty pretzel with warm, cheesy crab dip on top. Literally the best invention ever. 

There is one restaurant in Havre De Grace, Maryland (about 20 minutes away from my house) called MacGregor's that makes THE BEST crab pretzels. By the best, I mean the BEST.

First off, it is huge! (I usually share it with one other person) The pretzel covers the whole plate, so you definitely get your money's worth!

And second, their crab pretzel is rated one of the best in the state of Maryland! Can't get any better than that!

If I were you, I would definitely take an opportunity and go try it!

But if you are unable to drive all the way to Maryland, there of course are alternative options. It will not be as good as MacGregor's crab pretzels, but it's okay, you'll get the point. 

Here, is a how-to make your very own homemade crab pretzel, enjoy!!

Hey Ya'll! Happy Fall!

Fall weather is beautiful! (Especially in Maryland)

Leaves changing color, crisp weather, hoodies & sweatshirts, bonfires, it is my favorite!

Today I wanted to tell ya'll about a place real close to my house (in Maryland of course) where I grew up going in the fall. Milburn Orchard's is a place that I will always love. It is a very family friendly place where you can pick apples, go on hay rides, play different games and plus they have the best apple cider donuts around! This attraction is not only open, and beautiful in the fall, but it is open just about all year round to pick a variety of fruits, and purchase yummy baked goods. 

I grew up going to Milburn's since I can remember and have always enjoyed it!

I suggest if you have not been there, pick a weekend and go down with some friends and get a whole bunch of apple cider donuts and take cute, basic, fall apple picking pictures! You will not regret it!

Here is a picture of my siblings and I many years ago at Milburn's on a hay ride, great times!

Maryland VS. Pennsylvania 

Alright, time to get serious. 

I would say that the biggest difference between where I am from and where I am now is the scenery and the surrounding environment. 

Where I live, I am surrounded by farms and cattle (that's literally it).

Where I am now I am surrounded by other colleges, a huge mall, fast food places, restaurants, movie theaters, grocery stores and other businesses (basically everything).

Where I live, the closest:

College: is 5 minutes away (Cecil College)

Mall: 35 minutes away (Christiana mall, DE)

Fast food: 20 minutes away (McDonald's)

Restaurants: 2 minutes away (Wesley's)

Movie Theater: 30 minutes away (People's Plaza, DE)

Grocery store: is 20 minutes away (Martin's)

Obviously, almost everywhere I need to go is a hike.  Sometimes it can be a pain, but on the other hand it's nice to get away from everything

Since I live in the middle of nowhere, when I try to explain to people where I live, this always seems to be their reaction...So I thought it was appropriate to post.

Crab Cake Recipe, You're Welcome

Hey ya'll, 
So today I have been craving a food from my home town, as always.
Something that you can't get around here (at least not a good one). 
Something that originated in Maryland, of course.
Something crabby, something cakey........
CRAB CAKES....oh how I miss them so much!
Please do not tell me that you have never had one of these before. If so, you need to drop what you are doing right now, drive to Maryland, and have yourself one/100 of these babies! Crab cakes have to be the best thing ever created. They are so moist, well seasoned (if made right), and all around delicious!
Oh my goodness, my mouth is watering just thinking about it! I don't know why I ever left! 
But no seriously, either drop what you are doing and drive to Maryland, or drop what you are doing and go get these ingredients...(and a kitchen...you college students, you) hahaha

Sooooo, I was feeling generous and decided to share the crab cake goodness with ya'll. Below is a video displaying the steps of how to make yummy crab cakes. It is a very complex process, so do not mess it up, or you will regret it! Don't forget the Old Bay, of course! You're welcome, and enjoy :)
