Hey, hey! Well, we are back from vacation, and I’m a little (ok, a lot) sad about it. It flew by so quickly and I feel like, even by scheduling Monday’s and Wednesday’s posts in advance and limiting my time on social media/my phone, I just didn’t soak it all in enough. When we were…

My Summer Foodie Bucket List
Summers down South are pretty brutal, but there’s one thing we will celebrate no matter how high the humidity climbs or how many hurricanes are churning in the Gulf: food. We simply adore food. We love food so much, that while lunching with friends, our conversation is likely centered on that epic brunch we enjoyed…
Supporting Local with Back Forty Beer and Alabama Gulf Seafood
If you’re after a home-grown, high-quality product laced with healthy doses of passion and pride, look no further than Gadsden, Alabama’s Back Forty Beer Company. Founded in 2009, Back Forty now boasts a reputation for being one of Alabama’s oldest and most successful manufacturing breweries. After transitioning from contract-brewing their two original selections to opening…
#LetLoose2014 for National Stress Awareness Month
I’ve mentioned before that April is one of my favorite months of the year, but did you know that it’s also National Stress Awareness Month? We all lead busy, often-stressful lives, which is why I’m taking part in Vegas.com’s #LetLoose2014 event. I’ve been to Las Vegas twice (for my honeymoon in 2008 and on vacation…
A Review of Walker’s Drive-In
I can’t count the number of times I’ve promised this restaurant review, but despite the month-long wait, I’m here to deliver! Earlier last month, Mark and I joined his parents for dinner at Walker’s Drive-In in Jackson, Mississippi to celebrate my father-in-law’s birthday. Mark and I have dined at Walker’s twice before, and each meal…
A Marvelous Weekend in NOLA
This past weekend in New Orleans was full of good food, friends, and lots of fun. Thank goodness Mark and I took today off to rest and recuperate. After taking my car to the dealership for a oil and fluid changes, we began our short drive to NOLA. We spent a couple hours down in…
Clancy’s Restaurant Review
One of my favorite things about New Orleans is the abundance of small, sometimes-quirky, neighborhood restaurants. While some of the big-name tourist eateries measure up to the hype, the best food is usually found off the beaten path. Not too far from that path is Clancy’s. Situated Uptown on the corner of Annunciation and Webster…
Keifer’s Restaurant Review
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. [source] Our waiter, Chris, was…
What I Ate…In Mississippi
It’s already Wednesday, but I’m still feeling the “end of the long weekend blues.” Our visit to Mississippi with Mama and Papa Miele ended far too quickly, but we had a great time. Like an idiot, I took zero pictures of the new house, which, for privacy’s sake, is probably a good thing. We left…
