After a successful work day, Ben and I decided to celebrate with a dinner out.  There aren’t many options for “fine dining” here in Amarillo, but we’ve  located a few of the better, locally owned restaurants.  I feel a bit guilty about already having dined at 2 of the nicer establishments.  Maybe we should have [...]

Ben and I went to Los Angles for Thanksgiving to be with his mom’s side of the family.  On Thursday we ate some delicious traditional Thanksgiving fare.  On Friday, instead of left-over turkey sandwiches, Ben’s uncle took us to Pizzeria Mozza to celebrate Ben’s law school graduation and birthday.  Our reservations were made 2 months prior [...]

I live in Waco.  There are not a whole lot of specialty food stores here.  Our HEB has a pretty good bulk food section, and they do have some gourmet items from time to time.  I usually find myself becoming a kid in a candy store when I go to Central Market or Whole Foods [...]

Imagine my surprise as I walk to the checkout at Target (arms loaded with goodies since I refused to get a basket thinking that would keep me from over shopping…silly me) and I see a special on Hershey’s Kisses.  I approach the display and see the original Milk Chocolate Kisses, Milk Chocolate with Almonds and [...]

I drove to Austin for my sisters 22nd birthday.  With Sarah, no trip is complete without a stop at Whole Foods on Lamar.  I frequent the coffee bar at Whole Foods where a display case is always full of delicious looking cupcakes.  Now, these are not your simple frosted cupcakes.  On this Sunday afternoon the [...]

I have fond memories of eating bowls and bowls of sugary cereal as a kid.  My mom would always buy us healthy cereals most of the time.  However, on our birthday we would get to pick a birthday cereal.  This is when I would enjoy the wonders of Cocoa Puffs, Lucky Charms, Honey Combs and [...]

Ben and I celebrated his completion of the first quarter of PC at Baylor Law this weekend. So, Sunday morning we headed to Fredericksburg, Texas for our 24 hour getaway! Our first stop was at Enchanted Rock where we hiked to the top, climbed into dark, dangerous caves and my mountain-man husband led [...]
