A Girl Can't Spend All Her Time in the Kitchen

No matter how much I enjoy being in my kitchen and preparing for family gatherings I can’t deny that I love to be pampered and waited on. Of course it doesn’t happen often enough for my taste…

However… It may be coming… Doug’s grandmother has been visiting Branson annually for years. Now that she is unable to drive that distance- and she refuses to take a bus trip- she has been hinting around that she would like us to take her, “Maybe Doug’s family could come up from Texas, too.”

I know, I know, Branson conjures images of tour buses full of older people. But that’s the “old” Branson. Have you seen Branson lately?

Since this is a food site, let’s talk about all the amazing restaurants…

The Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing hosts the finest in comfort food with a twist. Ricotta Gnocci followed by a Stuffed Filet Mignon with a side of Asiago Mashed Potatoes. And for dessert? Chocolate fondue. Mmmm…

Sticking with just the Hilton hotels you can stay and eat at the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel. Choose Java Jive for a quick breakfast and settle in to Trofi for dinner. Get the Flaming Saganaki Cheese as an appetizer- you won’t regret it.

And if you’re going to be eating at one of the Hilton hotels why not stay? There are some great deals going on now for the holidays. There is even a Trofi package with restaurant or room service credits! Oh, yeah, being reimbursed to eat. That’s my kind of place!

Of course food isn’t all there is in Branson. There are some amazing shows now- and not just twangy country & western, either. The Irish Tenors are there now, as is Spirit of the Dance. And the Ultimate Beatles Experience.

Really, this isn’t your grandma’s Branson- although she’ll still love it!
