The Inn on Beaver Lane....A Place to Share Thoughts on Food and Cooking, Cookbooks We Love, and Other Random Musings

As many of you may know, I've been blogging (albeit erratically), since 2009, first on the Valley Thoughts and Ruminations blog, and subsequently on our Quilted Solutions blog, which I set up when we started our long-arm quilting business almost 6 years ago.

As enjoyable as that has been, I have found myself blogging less and less about quilts and quilting, and posting more frequently on Facebook and Instagram about our travels, food, and cooking.  My hashtag on Instagram is #The Inn on Beaver Lane, and many of my friends want more information about what we are up to than I can include on a small post (or bore many with on Facebook).

So, here is The Inn on Beaver Lane blog.  I hope to fill the blog with tidbits about the foods we like, the cookbooks we cook from, the restaurants and places that we travel to, and our everyday life here in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley.  I'll share my favorite food-related blogs with you, too, once I remember how to add the links (yes, it has been a while since I did any blog design.......).

I hope you will travel along with me on my continuing journey to enjoy the fellowship and fun I derive from my food-related activities. Meanwhile, here are a few photos from our weekend.
