I won't get all nostalgic and cheesy here, but home cooking is so calming in the fall and winter time. There's a wonderful place in Dallas called
The Porch, and
I think the food tastes like some southern grandmama named LuAnn made it. And with all great meals, you need a strategy and a plan. I, unfortunately, did not make either when coming to The Porch, so I did not save nearly enough room to consume the amount of dessert I really hoped for (which may be a good thing because that darn scale of mine is going up too fast!).
What in the jiminy crickets is a Blueberry Butter Pie?

Blueberry Butter Pie |
It is this wonderful creation! In all honestly, I'm not sure what it is, but it is the BESTEST pie ever. I despise apple pies and such, but this tastes nothing like your traditional pies. It's got a brownie cake type consistency and the ice cream on top is just superb. I hope The Porch keeps this around all year!

Chocolate Mousse w/
Caramelized Bananas |
The chocolate mousse with caramelized bananas was good as well - it tastes just like it sounds. Not nearly as enjoyable as my butter pie though.
 |
Salted Caramel &
Chocolate Bread Pudding |
I think restaurants are finally starting to get bread puddings right because this one was fantastic. Normally restaurant bread puddings taste like Thanksgiving stuffing to me, but this one was wonderfully buttery, moist, and just the right amount of "chewiness" (if that description makes sense to you, then you know what I'm talking about).

| Pecan Pie |
The pecan pie was incredible. It doesn't top the
pecan pie with tabasco sauce still, but wow both the crust and the pecan/sugar ration were perfection!
 |
| Smores |
Oddly enough, I've never been a fan of smores. The marshmellow makes it too sugary sweet for me. I recently heard the
history of smores. I personally like my smores with just the graham cracker and a melted peanut butter cup.
If I had to pick only one dessert...I'd definitely pick the blueberry butter pie to go with your dinner!
