Food, Friends, Fun in Northwest...

Folks who know me, know that I eat my way thru a vacation---and often vacation ratings are "higher" with  the Liles crew when food adventures have been a part of it.
This past week's Arkansas jaunt with friends was no different.....

Starting with dessert first.....(sampling delish sugar cookies, back left) followed by a cold strawberry chiller soup and YUMMY chicken salad at Cross Creek Sandwich Shop in Conway, AR, where everything is made fresh---worth the detour!!

 Followed by "splitting" a Key West burrito (chocked full of salmon, crab and shrimp) at Table Mesa Bistro in Bentonville, AR. Even the "cheap date" appetizers were tasty---Medjoohl dates stuffed with gorgonzola, cream cheese & wrapped in hardwood smoked bacon.

 Sharing "Rissoto balls" appetizer....

and trying a "Pig's Ear" salad, just because I could, was a fun lunch at Tusk and Trotter.

Not miss out on a sweet ending---a strawberry crepe from the "BEST FOOD TRUCK in AR" winner,
ice cream from the Spark Cafe Soda Fountain beside the Wal-Mart Museum....,

and a perfect sugar cookie from the (closed on Tuesdays) Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art capped off our Wednesday afternooon!!
