Ignite Bar & Lounge

I have a friend who is a Yelper and loves trying new restaurants.  She sent me a text with three restaurants to choose from, and I chose Ignite Lounge and Bar at the Ritz-Carlton.  I always eat at CORE whenever we are at the Ritz, but I wanted to try this...

Joe’s Pizza NYC

One New York local said, "There are four basic food groups in New York --- bagels, pizza, hot dogs, and cheesecake." I knew I wanted to get a slice of cheesecake and some pizza. I visited NY years ago before I was married. I visited a colleague from law school, and I...

Catch 25 Seafood and Brewery

Today was a special day. We celebrated Father's Day, and I wanted to take Matt somewhere special. He loves seafood, so I took him and the kids to Catch 25 Seafood and Brewery downtown Huntsville. They have an amazing lunch menu Tuesday through Friday from 11-4. Matt...

116 Noble

This evening was beyond spectacular. I spent time with some wonderful women from the Huntsville community. We experienced an amazing meal together at 116 Noble, a boutique restaurant in North Huntsville. Chef Noble is a renown, award-winning chef who offers customized...

Quarter View Restaurant

My family and I just got back from New Orleans and Mississippi.  I thank God for family and friends who make life so sweet even in the midst of hardship.  I especially enjoyed this trip because of the good food and the good times.  I was rather nervous...

Pappadeaux’s Seafood House in Phoenix

Matt's friends were in town from Seattle, so we hung out in Phoenix and decided to get some Pappadeaux's. I miss my crawfish etouffee, so I knew I had to order it before we arrived.  My husband is a country boy at heart, so he wanted me to eat some alligator ---...

Seafire Steakhouse at Paradise Island

Seafire is one of those restaurants you really need to try and get a reservation for instead of just trying to walk in. We reserved an evening at Seafire and really had a great time. I don't eat beef and pork, but my husband loves steak. My husband chose the New York...

Pasco’s Kitchen & Lounge

While my in-laws were in town, we went to Pasco's Kitchen & Lounge.  It's located in Geronimo Village on University Blvd. in Tucson.  I saw this restaurant because it is located next to the Frog & Firkin where I used to listen to Kevin & Tanisha...

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...

TOUS les JOURS Cafe

If you read my previous post on Purveyor, you'll notice we did not get dessert at Purveyor because I had been wanting to try this bakery at Mid-City, and I'm so glad I did. After our dinner, we went to Mid-City to get some macarons and Cloud Cake. This is the cutest...
