Confession time for my #unpopularopinion: I don’t like coffee and I never have. Hot chocolate? I’ll drink that all fall and winter long. I make it at home all the time. Even though I rarely go to McDonald’s, they have really good hot chocolate. As much as I drink hot chocolate, I don’t think … Read more
Another year is getting ready to close. Like many of you, I’ve been reflecting on what I accomplished in 2017 before setting intentions and goals for the next 365 days. My biggest goal for this year was also my biggest accomplishment: launching Gluten-Free Spirited. In the latter part of 2016, I began doing research on … Read more

*Red Robin! Yum.* It’s been a really long time since I’ve eaten at Red Robin. It’s not exactly far away, but it’s not a place I pass by often either. My dad invited Nikki & I to dinner & told us to pick a place. We’d been talking about going to Red Robin since we … Read more

For the last few years, it’s been tradition for my cousin to bring her children to my place to go trick-or-treating.

I’m not sure whose idea … Read more
“Everyone loves Showmars” is the fast casual restaurants slogan and seems to be an overall fact. I have never met anyone that didn’t love their food and service. Southern. Fresh. Greek.
