Well, it's Mother's Day weekend, and if you somehow managed to miss all those reminders on the Internet, on TV, on the radio... heck, if you're living in a cave and only check out the blogosphere... you may have missed out on that important fact. If you're looking for something to get for Mom of a culinary nature, you just might try out The Savory Pantry in Hot Springs. The tidy little shop across from the Hot Springs Aquarium features all sorts of jams, jellies, sauces, salsas, desserts, and more. I like a lot of the neat little suggestions they have out on display, such as this Artichoke Tomato Bruschetta Savory Cheesecake. Recipe and more info on the jump.

16 ounces softened cream cheese

2 eggs

1 jar Elki Artichoke Tomato Bruschetta

1 cup coarsely ground Parmesan cheese

The shop also offers lots of pre-packaged foods (like these ready-to-plate olives and garlics), pre-made gift baskets, and some rather amusing cocktail napkins.

The Savory Pantry is located at 214 Central Avenue in Hot Springs. They do have a great click to enlarge
