High Cotton

On Mothers Day weekend my parents, B, and I spent the weekend in Greenville, SC to attend the wedding of a close family friend. She was my best friend through my cancer treatment and was my only bridesmaid. Greenville has a cute downtown and was a perfect place to be for Mothers Day. Only thing…

Roosters

I thought it was time to share some pics from another dinner out. We had a Groupon or something like that for Rooster’s that we had been hanging onto for a while and decided to put it to use at some point after the weather warmed up. I only know this (that the weather was…

Vivace

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 Vivace (using…

Customshop

I love eating out. I love the pretty food and the whole dining experience. I especially love not having to do dishes. B and I have had a habit of eating out pretty regularly ever since we started dating and the habit has only gotten worse thanks to Groupon and Living Social. Hanging out is…

Good Food

Have you ever walked into a new [to you] restaurant, taken a look at the menu, and feel disappointed that there is nothing on the menu that peaks your interest? When we visited Good Food on Montford over the summer (yes, we went in June and I am just blogging about it in January). The…

Gyro pizza

Have you noticed all of the Greek food that I have been eating lately. Yemista at Greek Isles, the Greek Festival, hummus at Zoe’s Kitchen, and falafel. You would think that I’ve had enough, right? Nope, not so. On our way down to Atlanta a few weeks ago were planned to stay the night with…

Falafel

I 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.

Zebra

I can’t believe I am this behind. I am just now blogging about the amazing dinner that I had on my birthday, which was September 27. It took me a whole month to get around to it. Way back when, months and months ago, I bought a Living Social Coupon for Zebra. I think I…

Potato surprise

B and I have been on a huge eating out kick lately. We have food at home, we want to cook, but we make up all sorts of excuses not to. Mainly, work has been killer. Not so much in the number of hours worked, it has just had some special kind of mind numbing…

Zoe’s Kitchen

Any 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!
