It’s no secret that I have a fondness for Mediterranean food. Hummus is one of the true loves of my life, and you could wrap almost anything in fresh pita, top it with tzatziki sauce, and call it delicious. Keifer’s in Jackson, MS has some of the best Greek and Mediterranean food around. Mark and…

Ely’s Restaurant and Bar Review
When we were in Mississippi visiting Mama and Papa Miele earlier this month, we had the pleasure of dining at Ely’s Restaurant and Bar. [source] Located on the second floor of the Old Towne building in Ridgeland, Ely’s sparse, yet contemporary, décor makes it unique among steak and seafood restaurants.

MIMM #7: 5th Anniversary Edition
After a marvelous weekend celebrating Mark’s and my 5th anniversary, I didn’t dread the workweek too terribly. Mondays become Tuesdays soon enough, and today was a balmy, yet beautiful, sunny day. When I returned home from work Friday evening, Mark had my gift on the table, along with some beautiful pink roses. Since wood is…
Mirko Pasta Review
Several weeks ago, Mark and I decided to try a new restaurant called Mirko Pasta. Originating in Atlanta, Mirko Pasta is a Southeastern chain, with a focus on traditional, fresh pasta and quality ingredients. In my experience, Mobile doesn’t have an abundance of high-quality Italian restaurants. Sure, we’ve had fantastic pizza at La Pizzeria, but…

A Visit from the Champagne Fairy
Since we spent both Friday and Saturday nights lounging around the house, we decided to go out to brunch on Sunday afternoon. Some of our usual favorites are Spot of Tea (we always split their Monte Cristo and enjoy some signature strawberry tea) and Kitchen on George. We wanted to try something different, so I…
A Taste of Fairhope Brewing Company
This past Saturday we finally visited the new Fairhope Brewing Company. Since its soft opening on January 6 and grand opening on February 16, the taproom has been bustling with business from thirsty beer-lovers. Though the brewery is small and its offerings are few (currently, there are 4 flagship beers on tap), this new establishment…
#16: What I Ate…While On Vacation!
It’s been a crazy busy week since returning from Clearwater & Orlando (a win for work, but a loss for the blog!)—but it wouldn’t be a proper Wednesday without linking up for What I Ate Wednesday. This week, I thought I’d share some of the fabulous (and disappointing) meals we consumed on vacation. First up:…
Of Bräts and Beer: A Review of the LoDa Biergarten
This past Friday night, Mark and I ventured to the newly opened LoDa Biergarten. The location has been home to two past favorites: Picklefish (another location is still kicking) and Hopjacks (Pensacola, FL), both of which offered some delicious pizza. As the name suggests, LoDa Biergarten is a German bar and restaurant. While they have…
WIAW #12 + New Workout Clothes
I’m so glad to be half-way through the week and to leave behind the dreary, rainy, foggy weather of the last few days. It hasn’t been especially cold, but with the monochromatic grayness, it sure has looked like winter. Last week the high temperature was around 76°, yet tomorrow, there’s a possibility of morning snow showers…
