Have you ever gotten an email that just stops you in your tracks…and then distracts you for the rest of the day? Happened to me today…all thanks to the words, “Chicken N’ Waffle Cupcake.” I know- crazy sounding, right? The new creation will debut July 31st at The Sweet Shop, attached to the 4 Rivers…
Yes, this is another view of a John Rivers restaurant. No, I don’t get paid for any portion of these things. Having a review in a title for this blog post isn’t even fair. I’m pretty confident that at this point in life, John Rivers could fry just about anything up and I would eat…
The foodie scene is exploding in Orlando and I’m just so happy that I’m here to eat all the food that these amazing chefs are dishing out. The 4 Rivers Smokehouse has FINALLY opened out near the University of Central Florida. I say FINALLY because my husband and I have been counting down since the…
The birthday boy picked one of his favorite restaurants for his dinner, Hawkers Asian Street Fare on Mills Ave. in Orlando. The menu is big and deep and really offers a wide selection of asian-inspired food. This is the perfect place to go with a group and just order lots of different small plates and…
I’ve talked about Cask & Larder before. It’s one of our favorite restaurants in Orlando. Especially for brunch. This weekend I took my birthday boy out for a Sunday brunch at our favorite spot and it didn’t disappoint! We started with drinks, just because. I had the Whiskey Smash (bourbon, muddled mint, oranges, bubbles), and…
I was recently invited to a blogger event at Christner’s Prime Steak and Lobster in Orlando, formally known as Del Frisco’s. Truth be told, it’s my first blogger event in awhile where I went solo. Normally, my true introvert shines through and I end up not going. But I have vowed to change that in…
The cronut craze has taken over New York and much of the world. And now the doughnut-croissant hybrid has moved into Walt Disney World! I was lucky enough to randomly find it at Epcot. It’s technically not called a cronut, since that is now a trademarked name. The “Croissant Doughnut” is a delicious doughnut that…
I have blogged a lot about my family’s love of bacon. We’ve hit two different bacon festivals in the Orlando area an have tried lots of trendy bacon-related products. Here’s the thing – we just love the bacon. We don’t need gimmicks or twists. We just want the bacon. And if you’re like me, perhaps…
It’s no secret that I don’t like to cook. My husband likes to cook. And I love to eat.So it works out pretty well. I just found out that one of our very favorite Central Florida chefs is coming out with a new cookbook! (And I think I’m going to have to get it for…
You should know by now how much I love food. I’ve been trying to eat healthier which is sometimes easier said then done. I was offered a chance to take part in a HEALTHY GREEK EATS RECIPE CHALLENGE sponsored by Healthy Greek Eats. They supplied me hummus, greek yogurt and tzatziki along with some recipe cards…
