Friday night we drove out to Fort Worth and spent the night there in order to attend a special event on Saturday morning. Taking the concierge’s recommendation, we went to a really nice dinner at a restaurant near the hotel called Grace. If you ever find yourself in Fort Worth and in need of a dinner that is delicious, seasonal and a little on the fancy side, we highly recommend it.

{Spooky} Shrimp and Sausage Gumbo

We ultimately decided to make gumbo, which Dan hadn’t made in quite a while (and we’ll be honest, the last batch wasn’t our favorite). Maybe it was a better recipe, or more cooking experience between this night and the prior gumbo, but our Spooky Shrimp and Sausage Gumbo was delicious! So good that we’re considering having this gumbo be our new Halloween tradition. Continue reading “{Spooky} Shrimp and Sausage Gumbo”
