I’ve always been drawn to certain flavor combinations. Salty and sweet. Sweet and spicy. Even a combination of salty, sweet and spicy works for me. So, it shouldn’t be a surprise that I’ve been on a spicy kick lately for beverages at restaurants. I recently tried the Strawberry Habanero Mule at Pappas Delta Blues Smokehouse. […]
I had a taste for some really good chicken and waffles this weekend. So, I searched my mental Rolodex (maybe I’m telling my age a bit there) of good places in Dallas that served it. Whistle Britches is the place I decided to go. I had only been there once before, but they have a […]
Last weekend, my wife and I saw the movie Annabelle: Creation at LOOK Cinema. If you’re into horror movies, I’d say it’s definitely worth seeing. We decided to grab a quick bite to eat in the theater’s Ivy Kitchen. I love trying new drinks. So, I decided to get the Bootstrap Manhattan. The key players […]
Let’s face it. Everyone loves the summer, but we hate the heat. Well, I will speak for myself. I hate the heat. During the warmer months, it can be difficult to find refreshing drinks without a ton of sugar. However, Trader Joe’s has made sure that is not an issue this summer. Watermelon Cucumber Cooler […]
Ah, ginger. Several of my previous Thirsty Thursday posts mention ginger as an ingredient. I recently acquired a taste for ginger a few months ago. The spicy flavor is delicious, not to mention the great health benefits it gives. I decided to stop by Jamba Juice over the weekend to try a new smoothie. Of […]
Green health drinks often scare people away. True, they are not the most appealing types of drink to look at. However, I would not steer you all wrong when it comes to the taste department. I love finding healthy new drinks. I am no different than the next person who still wants a great taste […]
I am 2 months sober and counting. Yep. Oh, did you think I was talking about alcohol? I meant pre work out drinks. I completed the Daniel Fast earlier this year. The fast (or temporary diet) consists of vegetables, fruit, legumes, grains and that’s about it. The first 3 days kicked my butt, especially because […]
All hurricanes are not created equally. The original hurricane drink was crafted in New Orleans. This is one drink where the taste depends on who makes it. Last month I got a chance to try out Ida Claire’s version of this signature drink. Be sure to check out my review of the Pearfect 75 I […]
Bai has been a longstanding favorite drink line of mine. I love how their drinks taste great, but also are packed with vitamins and antioxidants. However, Bai has recently unveiled a brand new “Black” line. The Bai Black line has cool packaging, with a black matte finish and accent colors. I have tried all of […]
A birthday celebration would not be complete without visiting my favorite restaurant, Pappadeaux. They also just celebrated their 30th birthday in October of 2016. In honor of this grand occasion, they added a new drink called Cat 30. The Cat 30 was right on time for my birthday on February 4th. Pappadeaux has slowly added […]
