Martha’s Vineyard – Sweet Tooth

Both Back Door Donuts and Ben & Bill's Chocolate Emporium and Ice Cream are on the Best of the Vineyard 2026 list and for good reason. There is an ice-cream shop on every corner of Martha's Vineyard. I don't know if the heat drives the ice-cream shops or just the...

Joey K's Restaurant & Bar in New Orleans

My hubby's friend, Robert, has done it again!  When we went to Los Angeles, he told us about this great restaurant in Manhattan Beach and we loved it.  Well, Robert and his wife moved to New Orleans last summer.  While my husband and I were in New...

The Eaves Restaurant

I think I'm in love with The Eaves Restaurant in Huntsville.  I went on a fun lunch date with some wonderful women I met during my time here in Huntsville.  Sometimes, you have to put work, kids, and everyone else aside and just spend time with...

The Chimes Restaurant

Tom Brown’s Restaurant

If you are looking for a great dining experience with Southern hospitality, look no further than Tom Brown's Restaurant. The restaurant had mixed reviews, so I decided to check them out for myself, and I can truly say this family-owned gem offered great food and...

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...

Hub Restaurant & Creamery

Over the past couple of weeks, I have heard several people say that they were going to "the hub" to get some great food.  So, of course, I had to try it out.  I love the look and the vibe of the restaurant.  The decor is fun, and the atmosphere is laid...
