Cooking With Arlette

I have never cooked shrimp because I know it is easy to overcook shrimp.  I am so tired of messing up different dishes that I called in a professional, my good friend Arlette, to help me with a pasta dish that I saw her cook a few months ago. You might remember...

Annunciation New Orleans

I always have a great time when I'm in Louisiana, especially in New Orleans. My dear friend Kiley was born and raised in New Orleans, and she always has a great recommendation for good food when I'm in town. We met in undergrad at Southern University in Baton Rouge....

Pasco’s Kitchen & Lounge

San Diego

I spent some quality time in San Diego with my family, and we had a blast hanging out together.  Although this was the first Mother's Day without my beautiful mom, it wasn't a sad day at all.  I just thanked God for the family He has given me, cherished...

Grille on Main at Providence

I was looking for a place to grab a bite to eat with the hubby. So, we chose Grille on Main in Providence. This restaurant used to be Grille 29, but it closed shortly after the pandemic began. We were so sad the restaurant had closed. My eight-year-old loved Grille...
