Sometimes I feel like we get so wrapped up in the new, the unique, and the expensive that we forget about our friendly neighborhood restaurants. We forget that they are there as well, and looking to serve us delicious food with friendly service. A few months ago, my love and I received a menu on…

Carolina Jubilee – A Music Festival for the farm lover in all of us
When someone speaks about putting money in the dirt, I immediately think about finding a shovel. However, when Carolina Jubilee founder, Zack Wyatt, speaks about putting money in the dirt, he isn’t burying money for me to dig up. What he’s doing is giving back to our local farms to assist them in purchasing day…
LaRue – My Cheers
In this day and age, I’m rarely amazed by people remembering faces and names. I find that we spend so much time looking down into our smart technology that we forget to look up and meet people. Also, in the world of Google, why bother to remember anything anymore. You can just ask your phone…
LaRue – A great addition to Greensboro dining
Sitting here on a cloudy afternoon, bored and with no one to talk to but my cat, I can’t help but think about last night’s meal. Another blogger friend and I were invited to a special preview of the new LaRue restaurant opening in downtown Greensboro on Monday, March 23. It’s a small French restaurant…
Dates Make a Difference: Eat for a Cause event
One of the most wonderful things that I’ve enjoyed since beginning my blog is the connection that I’ve formed with so many in the food world. I’ve met entirely too many people to sit here and name that have impacted my life in many ways. I love them all, and I especially love them for…
My 10 Flavors I Love in Alamance County and Beyond
This was the February 2013 article published in Alamance Magazine. I’m sorry I haven’t been around much. I’ve began a new job since the last time I posted, and I also closed my right hand index finger in my car door. It was broken and horribly swollen. That hasn’t made it very easy to type,…
It’s time we had a talk…about Sticky Toffee Pudding and an English Pub named Marshall
di·et/ˈdī-it/ Verb: Restrict oneself to small amounts or special kinds of food in order to lose weight: “it is difficult to diet in a house full of cupcakes”. Now that you know the definition of using “diet” as a verb…let’s talk, because there are some things that you just don’t restrict yourself on. The example…
A Southern Gal’s Take on Chef Irvine and Restaurant Impossible
A note to my most wonderful reader…I feel as though I need to preface this as I do with some of my writings. I need you to remember, while reading this, that I am a very passionate and caring person that always tries to be kind to people. It is true that you never know…
Sundays with Friends: Vinnie’s Neighborhood Italian
I’m breaking from the traditional format of Sundays with Friends for the simple purpose of telling you about the final restaurant we visited in Asheville, NC. Once again, just like Stoney Knob Café, this one is in Weaverville, NC. I feel this goes with the Sundays with Friends title, because as soon as you walk…
Hungry for BBQ? You will be…
I have another project I’m working on for a local company here, and I have had my hands in magically delicious pork BBQ all day long. Needless to say, my hands are pretty dry from all of the hand washing. *smiles* These are four of the creations from today. When I saw the photographs I…
Transported: Destination, Stoney Knob Café in Asheville, NC
To be “transported”: To be moved from your current location. To be “beamed up” by Scotty (oh wait, that’s teleportation). To have a different experience than you expected. To allow yourself to relax in your current environment and go with the flow. Just….to be. Granted the above is all my wording, but you get the…
Culinary Weekend in Asheville, NC: Tupelo Honey Café
This is definitely one of those posts where I say to proceed with an open mind and form your own opinion. This is solely my opinion, and I am saddened that the below is true. But….it is. There is this restaurant that I have heard absolutely nothing but brilliant things about in Asheville. In fact,…
