Nobu at Paradise Island

Atlantis has so many different restaurants to choose from. You can eat at most of the hotels, so we visited Nobu at The Royal Hotel during our stay. My family and I absolutely loved Nobu. Nobu at The Royal Hotel at Atlantis I ordered the shrimp & Bahamian lobster...

Middendorf’s

While visiting Louisiana, we stopped in Manchac, Louisiana to eat at Middendorf's. My father-in-law loves this restaurant, so we visited while we were in town for an early lunch. Middendorf's is the home of the world famous thin-fried catfish. I don't know about you,...

Leafly Boba Bar

Boba tea has been all the craze around Huntsville for the past few years. With so many artificial flavors, sweeteners, and colors out there, I try to choose wisely when enjoying my favorite beverage. I love the fact that Leafly doesn't use fructose or artificial...

Tea Around Town Atlanta

While in Atlanta, we decided to end our weekend with Tea Around Town. I saw this bus in New York City while we were there a few months ago. So, when a friend told me there was a bus in Atlanta, we decided to purchase tickets. I absolutely love the concept! Prior to...

The Salty Pelican at Fernandina Beach

After walking around downtown Fernandina Beach, we walked over to The Salty Pelican, which is another local favorite. Everything in downtown Fernandina Beach is within walking distance, so we parked at the marina and walked around to visit the local shops before...

Miraval Resort & Spa, Part I

The hubster and I decided to get away and leave reality behind.  We did just that by going to Miraval Resort & Spa. I have heard so many wonderful things about this resort, so I always wondered, "What's the big deal?" Oprah and Gayle went on a retreat here,...

The Grill at Hacienda Del Sol

After a long week, my husband and I decided to try The Grill at Hacienda Del Sol.  I saw this restaurant in the Tucson Living Magazine, and it was listed as one of the top 5, so I wanted to take a visit.  It's also winner of the AAA Four Diamond Restaurant...

Fantastic Fudge at Fernandina Beach

During our tour with Mr. Ron Miller of Coast One Tours, we asked for a great place to get ice-cream. My kids wanted ice-cream, so he recommended Fantastic Fudge, which received approval from the entire family. At Fantastic Fudge, they make the fudge in house, and they...

Mini Cobblers

I love apple cobbler and peach cobbler, but I wanted to try a mini version of the cobbler, which is great for those who don't want large portions.  These were so much fun to make and I had a blast eating them!  Thanks again to Arlette for this great recipe...

Yes Indeed!

There's one thing I can't get used to in the desert --- being away from good Southern cooking.  My husband and I were craving something good and spicy, so we went to a friend's house and my hubby learned how to cook a Louisiana favorite.  My husband's...
