Slim & Husky’s Gourmet Pizza

I just experienced Slim & Husky's Gourmet Pizza in Tennessee, and I AM IN LOVE! This restaurant is black owned. All three of the founders (Clint Gray, Derrick Moore, and Emanuel "E.J." Reed) are HBCU Tennessee State University grads. Their dream, which...

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...

Odelia – The Luxe

Welcome to the restaurant where glitz and glamour meet delicious! I am so captivated by the decor and detail put into every inch of this space from the couture marble bar area to the velvet furniture that fills the restaurant. I don't know where to start --- the food...

Pumpkin Cupcakes

I'm so bad I can't stand myself!  Can you believe that I tried to bake cupcakes for the first time in my life (from scratch I might add) and they turned out delicious?  I even made the cream cheese frosting from scratch and was like a kid at Christmas. ...

Cooking With Cally

By now, you know that I am not a great cook.  So, I called Cally over for a cooking lesson.  Cally is a great cook and has her own business.  Cally's mother also owned her own catering company.  I had no idea how much time and effort goes into...

Domaine South – Huntsville

Today, I met a friend for an impromptu lunch at Domaine South in Huntsville. I had never been to the restaurant before, but I love the location and the aesthetics of the restaurant. She recommended this restaurant, and it was a fabulous recommendation. It was a...

Julieanna’s Patio Cafe

I'm away in a little city that has so many little surprises everywhere I go.  Today, I stopped to get lunch at a cafe and I was not prepared for what I saw.  The plan was to get lunch to go, but I ended up sitting on the patio and enjoying a great...

Going Greek

One of my favorite restaurants has closed.  They had the best lamb chops ever and now I have to find somewhere else to get great lamb chops.  Well, I didn't have to look far.  I went to My Big Fat Greek Restaurant on a rainy evening after my husband...

Junior’s Cheesecake NYC

New York is known for its cheesecake, and at the forefront of the cheesecake craze is Junior's cheesecake. We took a 5-7 minute walk from our hotel to Junior's. We met Matt's cousin, her husband, and their daughters there for lunch. It's a great spot to eat before or...

Cup Quequitos

A couple of weeks ago, my family and I attended Second Saturdays Downtown.  Different artists showcase their talent during this event and vendors are everywhere.  I wanted a cupcake, but not just your ordinary cupcake.  I heard about a company called...
