After walking around downtown Fernandina Beach, we walked over to The Salty Pelican, which is another local favorite. Everything in downtown Fernandina Beach is within walking distance, so we parked at the marina and walked around to visit the local shops before...

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...

Back Porch Destin

We took the kids to the beach for fall break. The beach always translates to good local seafood restaurants. You don't eat cheeseburgers at the beach. You eat seafood. A family friend told me about The Back Porch, a Seafood and Oyster House in Destin. We arrived just...

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...

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...
