Grilled Fish Tacos and Crunchy Corn Salsa

While visiting California a couple of weeks ago, I was craving fish tacos.  I don't know where the craving came from, but I just had to have one.  Ironically, the restaurant where we ate had what appeared to be a delicious grilled fish taco on the menu, but...

Domaine South – Huntsville

Reilly Craft Pizza & Drink

Lo-Lo’s Chicken and Waffles

My husband and I took a fun road trip to Scottsdale to eat at Lo-Lo's Chicken & Waffles.  We met about 20 friends at the restaurant and just enjoyed each other's company.   I never pass up an opportunity to eat good food and hang out with a great...

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...
