Meal time has often been considered one of the most needful times when connecting with your family. Whether you eat at home at the table, in the living room, in the car, or at a restaurant, meal time is important. You can make it either meaningful or literally a waste of time (except for filling [...]

My Back in the Day Visit
For about two years now I’ve wanted to hop in a car, drive to Savannah, and sit down in a little bakery that boasts of great bread and antique cookery. Finally, I did it. And unfortunately it was one of the hottest days in Savannah and I was almost 8 months pregnant, but the food [...]

Two delicious downtown restaurants: one week: one owner. Rue Cler is about a block from First Durham, a french restaurant and bakery (I’ve heard their blueberry muffins are just excitement for your mouth). A friend and I went. Dinner menus are daily reads, so I couldn’t plan ahead of time (ACK!). They are pre-fixe menus, [...]

Today is one of those days when I wish I was independently wealthy and didn’t have a job. If I were – I would purchase a ticket to the closest airport to Big Sur I could possibly find, maybe even tomorrow, and dine at the Big Sur Bakery along the Californian Coast. Honestly, I wouldn’t [...]

I don’t know really how you say it, but I pronounce it: good eats. On the side of Five Points in the downtown district of the Bull City, sits a gem. Jazz, spinach gruyere dip, vegan and vegetarian choices on a full menu, wines and coffees, luscious desserts, and wifi – really – need I [...]

Unpretentious. Good food. Hopefully go back for the good wine. Good price. Good friend. What more could you ask for? A friend and I celebrated hump day by taking advantage of Triangle Restaurant Week and went to a new place for us both, Vivace in North Hills. I will definitely pay a return (or two [...]

In the middle of the Brightleaf Square corridor sits a little cafe that serves desserts and real food. I spend 4 hours there on Sunday, taking pictures, talking w a dear friend, and sipping on an espresso macchiato. The cake we chose was moist, texture-perfect, and delicious. I could have easily eaten the entire cylindrical [...]

Nestled in the South Park neighborhood of the Queen City, NC’s largest city, sits Red Rocks Cafe Bar & Bakery. I would just call it good food. A friend and I decided to meet up there on my recent overnight trip to Charlotte. We were anticipating a long wait, but got in there and were [...]

I think every other cupcake business in Wilmington needs to just close up shop and that Coastal Cupcakes needs to bake more cupcakes. Best cupcake I’ve had, hans down. I’ve had cupcakes in Chicago, RDU, Publix (which are a favorite of mine), TN, CO. Cupcake bakeries and “shoppes” are all the rage right now, so [...]

This place came highly recommended and it is out of the downtown area, so parking is not a problem. 1. Great decor. 2. Low-key (yes, I know it was the off season) 3. Had a great waitress who allowed us to stay there pretty much as long as we wanted (a little over 2 hours) [...]
