Love Affair

In recent weeks, okay months, I have been complete enamored….with Panera Bread. I never really understood what it was about Panera that so many people love so much…other than the free wi-fi of course. It’s just sandwiches, right? I blame this affair on Kristen for her post on the cinnamon crunch bagel a while back. I…

Loco Lime

Any 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! Just…

Sunset Grille

Ya know how there is always that little restaurant around the corner that you want to try but you never get around to it? We have a ton of those in our neighborhood! Each time we drive by I am say we need to try them out but we keep driving and I forget about…

Brazwells

As I sit here attempting to blog I am watching the Body by Bethenny video in Exercise TV on Demand to see if it is something I would be interested in getting up early to do in the AM since I don’t have time to go to the studio before work. I need more yoga…

Anniversary Weekend Part….

We 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 days…

Anniversary Weekend Part 3: Aquavina

After leaving Press we had no idea where we wanted to eat dinner. Kudos to us for our primo planning. After walking around Charlotte’s uptown for what seemed like a long time we finally decided to have dinner at Aquavina. We were really surprised by how dead it was. Yes, it was 9 PM and…
