Vivace

Pin it What a view. Right? I know our Uptown (downtown to most every other city) is smaller than most big cities but I still think we have a nice skyline here in Charlotte. I especially appreciated our skyline and the surrounding green space when I was enjoying brunch with B on the patio of…

Falafel

Pin itI finally go my falafel! Thanks to Acropolis Cafe in Cornelius I was finally able to find out what all of the fuss over falafel is all about. The warm, crunchy falafel on top of slight chewy pita and smothered in cucumber sauce is a meal that is right up my alley.

Zoe’s Kitchen

Pin itAny restaurant that serves a plate of hummus with tzatziki and pita is alright by me. At Zoe’s Kitchen in Birkdale I got to enjoy a delicious lunch as well as the company of a new (to me) blogger friend. It was the perfect mid-day pick me up!

Loco Lime

Pin itAny Loco Lime fans out there? I know there are. I had heard some really great things about Loco Lime on Central Avenue so I was really excited when I saw a Loco Lime location open on the north side of town. Finally, a restaurant I can make it to on my lunch break!…

salmon blt

Pin itWith all of my lunch packing laziness and frozen lunches of late I thought I would share one of my homemade lunch successes. I give you the salmon BLT. Well, actually, since their is salmon on it I guess it should be called a salmon club rather than BLT; ya know, since a BLT…

Greek Isles

Pin itA few weeks ago I experienced something very rare, a day off work where I was free to do whatever I wanted in Charlotte. Yes, travelling is fun, but sometimes it is so nice to have a relaxing day in your hometown where you can leisurely run errands, during business hours. I know leisurely…

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…

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…

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…

Spaghetti O’s

Pin itI have a confession. I am 26 years old, almost 27 (in 3 weeks), and I love spaghetti O’s. Honestly I like ABC’s and 123’S with meatballs the best but that’s not any better. I stumbled upon a spaghetti O’s substitute by accident the other day with a random lunch creations. This is what…
