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...

Wicked Bao at Fernandina Beach

For dinner, the family and I tried Wicked Bao. Hugh from Amelia Island Board Rentals recommended this place, and I'm so glad he did. When we arrived, the place was packed. There were several people standing outside waiting to get in, but it was worth the wait. Wicked...

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 ---...
