Boating Along the Destin Coast

/

One of my favorite things we did last week while on vacation in Destin was to spend the day on my brother's boat. He has it at a marina just outside Destin so we headed over mid morning, fired it up and off we went.  We explored the entire coast of Destin and Sandestin  including the bayou and Choctawatchee Bay.  Finally saw what he meant about the craziness of Crab Island over the July 4th week.  Too many boats, people and beer for me these days  but in my 20's I would have loved it ha ha.We didn't see any dolphins but lots of my favorite pelicans.  I took a lot of video while we were out on the water and decided to attempt to merge it all together and make a movie.  I hadn't done that in years.  Here is the final result. 

Guy is introduced to Publix

I am so excited that Publix is coming to Richmond and that they will be building one near our home. When we were in Destin I took Guy and introduced him.Yup I made him stop for a photo 😂😂😂I don't think he really gets why I am so happy to never have to go to Kroger again once it opens but then he doesn't do the big shopping trips either 😂 😂

Apple Pie Shortcake

When we were in Destin my brother made Old Fashion Strawberry Shortcake using the recipe on the Bisquick box. Guy hadn't stopped talking about them and since I don't eat strawberries I decided to have a try at them with my own twist. Instead of strawberries I used apple pie filling.  The turned out really yummy and I will make them again.

I just followed the shortcake portion of the recipe, sliced them, added warmed up apple pie filling, sprinkled with cinnamon in the middle. I did one scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and a small drizzle of chocolate syrup.
