Downtown Kitchen

October 1st was our anniversary, so we decided to have dinner at the Downtown Kitchen.  This was my first time eating at this restaurant, and I loved it!  My husband's friend also has an October 1st wedding anniversary, so we all went out to eat together,...

Vero Amore at Dove Mountain

I was craving pizza today, and to my surprise, I read about this restaurant in Tucson Living Magazine literally within an hour after my cravings began.  It is one of the top rated restaurants according to Tucson Living, so I wanted to see what all of the hype was...

The Palate by Chef Will

Lowe Mill Arts & Entertainment is a great place to see local artists' artwork and designs displayed if you are in the Huntsville area. They have everything --- art made from license plates, traditional canvas art, clothing designs, cigar box guitar lessons,...

Red Beans and Rice

It has been a long journey.  For the past two days, I have been trying to cook red beans and rice.  When I was in college at Southern University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the cafeteria cooks prepared read beans and rice every Monday.  Seriously, they...

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...

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...

Farmer’s Market

I have been trying to find a good farmer's market with great local products.  Well, I found one near my house and was so excited while looking at all of the fun things the vendors have to offer.  This farmer's market is new to the Dove Mountain area and is...

Fantastic Fudge at Fernandina Beach

During our tour with Mr. Ron Miller of Coast One Tours, we asked for a great place to get ice-cream. My kids wanted ice-cream, so he recommended Fantastic Fudge, which received approval from the entire family. At Fantastic Fudge, they make the fudge in house, and they...

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...

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...
