If there is one thing our travels have taught us, it’s to never pass by an interesting looking restaurant. Such was the case during our trip to Chicago’s Southland. We were in town for the Gaelic Park Irish Fest and were looking for a place to grab lunch. We had passed Johnny’s WeeNee Wagon on […]
Eating Around the Happiest Place on Earth
While my culinary trip to Walt Disney World began and ended with travel trials, what happened in between was truly magical. The fine folks at Disney made me feel like a princess and I can’t thank them enough for the opportunity! Because my trip was a “culinary tour” it began, rightfully so, with a few […]
Cuisinious Fort Worth Dining
Cuisinious: Food that looks, smells and tastes delectable. (Urban Dictionary) Fort Worth is filled with fabulous restaurants. Truly. A quick Google search yields nearly 350 highly recommended restaurants. Too many for me to choose from! So I turned to the pros on all things Fort Worth: the Fort Worth Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, who recommended […]
Hometown Cookin’ at the Colorado Grill in Boone, Iowa
A spectacular March Sunday sent us home from church to change clothes and head out for a hike at Ledges State Park near Boone. Before our hike we would grab lunch. Where? It remained to be seen. I was hoping for a small town greasy spoon; someplace you enter and people look you up and […]
Gastropub Dinner with Irish Celebrity Chef Kevin Dundon at Raglan Road in Kansas City
I’m pretty sure that celebrity chef dinners happen quite often in places like Los Angeles and New York. And maybe even in Chicago. But it’s not really something that happens in the center of the country so when I saw that one of my favorite Kansas City restaurants, Raglan Road, was hosting a Gastropub Dinner […]
Dinner with Kids at The Melting Pot in Country Club Plaza, Kansas City, Missouri
As a special treat for our girls we decided to splurge on dinner at The Melting Pot in Country Club Plaza. While you do see children in the restaurant, you don’t see many. I made our reservation online and mentioned that we were bringing our daughters, so it shouldn’t have been a surprise to […]
Finding Romance in Kansas City
I love how much we travel with our girls. Near or far, it’s always an adventure. But sometimes we adults need some time to get away and remember just why we fell in love. Doug and I recently had an “adults only” getaway to Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri. The Plaza holds special […]
Visiting Eureka Springs with Kids
Eureka Springs doesn’t market itself as a family destination, but don’t let that keep your family from exploring this quaint and historic town. Eureka Springs Has Been Drawing Visitors for Centuries Native American tribes believed the natural cold springs could cure a variety of ailments. In the Victorian era health seekers came to “take the […]
Dinner at 18 Oaks at the JW Marriott Hill Country Resort and Spa
During our stay at the JW Marriott Hill Country Resort and Spa Doug and I were treated to a meal I won’t soon forget. Our final evening at the resort was adults only; the girls were happily playing at Range Riders Kids Club and enjoying their own versions of a perfect meal (which, we found […]
Roisin Dubh (The Black Rose), Boston, Massachusetts
It was our first time in Boston, we “discovered” Roisin Dubh (Gaelic for Black Rose) just a block from Faneuil Hall and fell in love with it! Of course it’s an Irish Pub, which didn’t hurt, but we were always welcomed, the food was consistently good (I recommend the Irish Stew and the fish & […]
