Today I had a book signing at Rocky River Vineyards in Midland, NC. The book signing was part of a festival held twice a year (Spring and Fall) by the Vineyard. This was the first time I've had the pleasure of attending this Spring event and you can believe me, it won't be my last. The festival consisted of music, food and craft vendors and a wine tasting. Yes, the wine tasting was extremely popular and I even stopped by before leaving. I ended up with a bottle of their Butterfly Blush which is a sweet muscadine wine. I had company coming for dinner and thought this would be perfect to serve with a new dish I planned on making that I ended up naming Italian Pot Pie. Well, the new dish turned out delicious but I couldn't believe the compliments I received on the wine. I heard "This has to be one of the best wines I've ever had." "I've just found a new favorite wine." "Where did you find this delicious wine?" And they were right! This wine has a wonderful, slightly sweet taste of muscadines that blended beautifully with my dinner.
Rocky River Vineyards is located @ 11685 Reed Mine Rd., Midland, NC 28107. If you are ever in the area, Rocky River Vineyard is well worth visiting and by going to their website you can also check out some of their other wines.

I'm from Georgia, moved to North Carolina by way of Florida. I've been in Charlotte for 14 years and love it. The recipes in my book Stir, Laugh, Repeat are all tested by "Food Testers" of which I now have 24. They try a dish and rate it from 1-10 with only those scoring at least an 8 making the book. My website is a holding place for my 2nd book Stir, Laugh, Repeat... Again. Please visit my site to find new recipes and tips. All recipes are easy, using common ingredients and according to my testers, great!
When I wrote my introduction about a year ago and a lot has happened since then. I now have 5 blog sites that keep me pretty busy. Two of my sites are dedicated to nothing but recipes. Martha's Recipe Cabinet holds recipes that will be included in one of my upcoming cookbooks. Martha's Kitchen Korner consists of recipes that are good but still need just a bit of work. On A Book and A Dish you will find my book reviews and the author's favorite recipe. Stir, Laugh, Repeat holds reviews written about my cookbook Stir, Laugh, Repeat and the site you are now on is the "mother" site for all of these. Here you will find cooking tips, simple recipes and updates for additions to the "offspring sites." So, enjoy!
