Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ (Disney Part II)

While at Disney, we ate so much delicious food and enjoyed plenty of desserts. You have to try the pineapple Dole Whip while at Disney. I can still taste the fruity, creamy combination of vanilla and pineapple ice cream. Although this was one of my favorite desserts...

Purveyor

Today was a great day! I am celebrating another year and having fun doing it. Today is my birthday, and I started the day skating with someone that I have been trying to get to the skating rink for years. Mr. JT is a local skating legend. He was the first black to...

The Parish Restaurant

My husband heard about The Parish restaurant from a guy who saw the restaurant on the news.  During Mardi Gras, the owners had a huge crawfish boil in the parking lot.  Where was I and why didn't I know about this earlier?  Geez, I want some...

Sprinkles Cupcakes

If you haven't noticed, I am crazy about a good cupcake.  They're cute and so delicious.  You can serve them at a baby shower, birthday party, or an elegant event.  When I was in Los Angeles, I told my husband that I had to try a good cupcake...

Today was a great day with the family. My oldest and I hung out at the beach and then we hopped in the truck and drove over to Kingsley Plantation, which we'll talk more about later. Kingsley was a plantation owner who went to Africa, brought back an African princess,...

Pappadeaux’s Seafood House in Phoenix

Matt's friends were in town from Seattle, so we hung out in Phoenix and decided to get some Pappadeaux's. I miss my crawfish etouffee, so I knew I had to order it before we arrived.  My husband is a country boy at heart, so he wanted me to eat some alligator ---...
