a.Lure has been open a little over a year but I hadn’t been so Mark and Allison were anxious to show it off. When I looked at the menu and saw lamb carpaccio served with blue cheese ice cream I understood why. Blue cheese ice cream? That’s the sort of thing that gets me toe-tappin’…

One of my favorite restaurants at home (we’re talkin top 3 here) is Bonna Bella. As a family not only from a Lowcountry/river town but whose home is actually on said river, we don’t like to stray from the water and dining is no exception. You can get to Bonna Bella by car or boat (more…

By the time I made it to the restaurant on Thursday, Steph had already put in an order for pizza at Pala, a place she stumbled into before instructing me to abandon our original restaurant plan and meet her there. She had ordered the spinach pizza, which was topped with a sweet cherry tomato sauce,…

Creamy = unhealthy. You don’t read this blog to get beaten over the head with the obvious. But wait – not so fast! This pasta sauce is creamy without any cream thanks to healthy almond milk. I followed this recipe and the sauce came out silky and delicious. The almond milk and leeks make it…

I am a major supporter of sandwiches. Like Secretary of their fan club type of supporter. So when I found out last week was National Sandwich Week, a celebration was non-negotiable. But what type of sandwich should I make? Sure there was plenty of inspiration on the Pinterest board I devoted entirely to sandwiches, but…
