Blueberry Yogurt Stuffed Cantaloupe

Baa Ha Ba
[Yogurt & Blueberry Stuffed Cantaloupe]

Thursday, August 30th, 2012

Every couple of years I get together with my 2 college roommates and we go on an adventure. We just returned from Maine. We took a convertible from Portland to Bar Harbor (Baa Ha Ba) stopping for a little antique shopping on the way. Once in Baa Ha Ba we went mountain biking in Acadia and ate, ate, and then ate and drank some more.

In many ways, I think friends are a lot like cookbooks. The new ones are exciting, but when one passes the test of time and has a permanent spot on your counter? It’s like comfort food.

The Enchanted Broccoli Forest is a dear, old friend. Recipe here for the lovely stuffed cantaloupe. This is what’s on the recovery menu for me this week.

Thanks Evelyne. It wasn’t easy to find a true Mainer (one that not only lives in Maine, but also was born in Maine). But once we found one we asked them over and over to say a few words (Beee-ah) for Beer was one of our faves.

Wow, you lead an incredible life (and I know you know it!). Very sneaky trying to put fruit, yogurt and good things in a dessert, but I love it. And that mac, cheese and lobster is just mouth watering.
