I am definitely tardy to the party that is Acme F&B Dallas. This restaurant that took over the old Cretia’s location on McKinney, next door to Corner Bar has been open for months and I had yet to make it in there. When my friend Kandice came in town and wanted to give it a try I happily volunteered to go

I know I’ve said it before but I love to read books before I see them as movies.  In fact I’ve been known to read books simply because they are going to be hitting the big screen.  So I decided to to a little research into books to movies in 2013.  Here are the 10 books to movies in 2013 I have either read or will

When it comes to wine, I don’t think you have to spend a fortune to find a great wine.  So when I find an inexpensive wine that I really enjoy I get really excited about it.  The Leese-Fitch wines are a good example of this.

Thanks to Pinterest I have been eyeing a number of Buffalo Chicken recipes I wanted to try and when I found this Crockpot Buffalo Chicken recipe I had to give it a try!  I followed the recipe and should have cut it in half.  I have enough

As you can see by the title of the post, I got a little sidetracked from my next read. I was supposed to read Born to Be Brad next, but I didn’t. I started it, then had to make a last minute trip down to Houston so I listened to a book on tape.  Ever since I finished Providence by Jamie McGuire last year, I kept

When it comes to tomatillos, my only experience with them is when a waiter brings me tomatillo sauce to dip chips in or it’s on top of the dish I’ve just ordered.  When I started trying to figure out what soup to cook yesterday a friend mentioned they had made a tomatillo chicken soup the weekend before

For months I had been seeing check in after check in at Coffee House Cafe but never seemed to make it in.  Needless to say I was ecstatic when we settled on going there for my friend’s birthday brunch.  It seemed like a perfect excuse for us all to try something new!

A Sweethaven Christmas is the final book in the Sweethaven trilogy by author Courtney Walsh.  As anxious as I was to read this book I was also sad to finish it.  I didn’t want my time with the ladies of Sweethaven to come to an

I’ve been in my house for over 6 years and have not hung a single window treatment, and I even got the curtains I wanted from Target for my birthday from my sister…I just need to hang them!

These have been a family favorite for as long as I can remember.  Only, I don’t remember my Grandmom ever making them.  Maybe that’s because my grandparents never lived near us while they were hosting us, and Granddad

Woodlands Grill Dallas isn’t a brand new restaurant, but it is a relatively newcomer to the city.  Or at least I’ve only recently become aware of it.  Woodlands Grill is located just south of 635 off Preston and it was a great happy hour spot.  

Thanks to Twitter I learned about the Kramer Vineyards.  Kramer Vineyards is located in Gaston, OR.  I’ve been meaning to post this blog for months and sadly am just now getting around to it.  That doesn’t mean I haven’t been
