Chocolate Fondue By Melissa Spelts This is a tradition that I looked forward to as a child. I love CHOCOLATE. My mom always made this so fun with all kinds of fruit, angel food cake, and other fun things to dip. She always used her crock pot for warming. My family has fond memories of sitting around the kitchen table eating this treat while spending time together. It really is a perfect treat to share with your loved ones on Valentine’s Day. 16 oz. semi sweet or dark chocolate chips 1 ½ c. whipping cream
In a sauce pan, melt the chocolate chips on a low setting, stirring often to keep it from burning. Once the chocolate is melted, whisk in whipping cream. Add to fondue pot, crock pot, or bowl. If you use a bowl, your chocolate will be dip-able for about 40 minutes.

Pepper Jack Fondue Ryan is not a big fan of overly sweet treats. He enjoys savory treats more, so we made this yummy cheese fondue with him in mind. It was delicious.
½ lb. Pepper Jack cheese, cubed or shredded ¼ lb. Mozzarella cheese, cubed or shredded 1 ½ tsp cornstarch 1/3 c. chicken broth salt and pepper to taste Melt the cheese in a saucepan on low heat. When melted, add cornstarch and chicken broth. Stir until thick and creamy. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Pie and Fry Offering the best things in life: pizza and fries
BY RYAN SPELTS
Why hasn’t anyone thought of this before? Pie and Fry! In other words, Pizza and French Fries. It is a great spot in the heart of Ogden off Grant Ave. Restaurateur Ryan Glenn has had restaurants for years and, in a recent move to Ogden, wanted to bring some of the best aspects and most popular dishes from his other restaurants to our valley. He knows what people love at his other restaurants in Park City, Heber, and Salt Lake, so he created a new concept in Pie and Fry. With custom, gourmet, personal pizza and smothered, delicious French Fries with many custom or in-house creations on the menu, you will enjoy your visit. You can also
stay on the lighter side by opting ketofriendly wings and salads. We tried some of their more popular options from both the Pie and the Fry sides of the menu. If you are taking a date, consider each getting a pizza or salad and sharing a smother of fries. Their made-from-scratch sauces are cooked to order, and the food is fresh and delicious. Pizzas we tried were the Adriatic, with pepperoni, black olives, and feta cheese. Named after the Adriatic Sea, which runs between the countries of Italy and Greece, this pizza is not quite Italian and not quite Greek. It is quite delicious, and my personal favorite of those that we tried. We also enjoyed the Chicken BBQ with chicken, cheddar, red pepper, and onion over BBQ sauce. Melissa’s favorite was the Thai Sweet Chili pizza, which tops a sweet chili sauce with mozzarella, chicken, onion, pineapple, jalapeño and some fresh herbs and spices which all make this pie delicious with a hint of heat. For our smothered fries, we had Chili Verde with large chunks of pork, which was the favorite for both of us. The Chili and cheese Fries are just what

46 ogdenconnection.com | February-April 2020 they sound like and are patterned after the Canadian food craze called Poutine Gravy; all were delicious. The fries are large steak fries and cooked to a crispy golden brown, so they don’t get soggy too quickly in the sauces. You can also stay on the healthier side of the menu by opting for their custom salads. We had the pork salad with greens, seasoned pork, tomato, red onion, and cheddar cheese and tortilla strips across the top. Wings with any of their sauces are also cooked beautifully. This new addition to the Ogden Restaurant scene is a welcome site and a must-try for your next night out. Prices are very reasonable with lots of options for everyone. The menu includes gluten free, vegetarian, and other allergyfriendly options. >>Chili Verde Smothered Fries-a popular favorite
