Eat at Joes

Pin itIn my last post I told you about my family’s go–to fish camp when we are visiting Myrtle Beach. I wish I had many more restaurants in that area to share with you like I do here in Charlotte, but the truth is that when were are at the beach we just don’t eat…

my familys Go-to in calabash, nc

Pin itA friend of mine brought it to my attention that I am not very good about sharing the names of some of my family’s favorite go-to places when we visit North Myrtle Beach. So today I bring you Coleman’s Original Calabash Restaurant. Any time we are in North Myrtle and are in the mood…

epitome of nasty

Pin itYeah, this is it. I have been a lazy bum and have been resorting to frozen meals like Lean Cuisine and evol burritos. Some of this meals have been wins and others have been complete misses. This was a complete miss. Nothing can salvage this soggy veggie egg roll that is swimming in a…

more butoni ravioli

Pin itFrozen/prepackaged meals are usually not the most healthful dinner option available, however they are often very convenient and can be pretty tasty. Between working, working out, friends, blogging, and job hunting I am often wiped at the end of the day, especially if the time spent at the office was stressful. So B and…

oatmeal alternative

Pin itWe all know that oatmeal is not my thing. Well, maybe you didn’t know but now you do. I am not the food blogger that craves oatmeal even the kind with gobs of nut butter and other delicious looking toppings. I tried, I really tried, but oatmeal just isn’t my thing, not on a…

evol burritos

Pin itI may have mentioned it a time or two that over past weeks I have really been slacking on my lunch packing. B and I have gotten really good at cooking for two and we rarely have leftovers, leaving me searching for lunch ideas. My lack of creativity and motivation has left me resorting…

Thermos Review

Pin itSeveral weeks ago I received an offer that I could not refuse. Thermos Brand was having a Twitter party on cold hydration and offered to send me one of their bottles to review. Since reusable bottles are an essential in my house, CamelBak bottles being my favorite, I jumped on the offer to give…

No Thai Sunday

Pin itThis is the last anniversary related post, I promise. We had to check out of the hotel on Sunday morning. I had planned on us getting out of bed early enough to head to our church that is uptown, but we were slackers and that did not happen. Needless to say I was starving…

Anniversary Weekend Part….

Pin itWe tried to be prepared on Saturday night. We really tried. We were all set up with reservations to Blue and then Mimosa Grill, but after a long day riding bike and a very sore hind end as a result I just wasn’t feeling it. Since we were both starving from all of the…

Anniversary Weekend Part 4: Charlotte NC Tours

Pin itIf I told you I had big plans for my anniversary weekend what would you have guessed I had planned? Tickets to a play? Surprising my husband with Panthers tickets? A super expensive dinner at an expensive restaurant uptown? Nope, my big plans were a bike rental. B used to be really active and…
