I went to Whiskey Cake in Plano, TX a couple of weeks ago for a happy hour with some friends. Wait. Before I go any further, if you have not had their delicious whiskey cake, your life is not yet fulfilled. Trust me, it’s that good. So, back to today’s focus. I decided to try […]
Now that we have made it through two of the most fattening holidays of the year (Thanksgiving and Christmas), everyone is looking for a reset. You know, starting off those New Year’s resolutions right. I don’t make resolutions or promises, because I know I’m one happy hour away from falling off the bandwagon. But hey, […]
I just discovered Blue Goose a few months ago. Since then, it has become one of my new favorite Tex Mex restaurants. Recently, I decided to try one their margaritas called The Diablo. I know; sounds pretty scary. However, isn’t it fascinating that a margarita is such a year round adult beverage. When was the […]
Thanks to great friends who travel in far away places, I tried a new drink this week. She was hosting a book club meeting for my novel, Fortune Cookie, and it was her recommended drink of choice. It’s called Brennivin. You may have already heard of it before, especially if you’ve been to Iceland (where […]
I recently visited Lazy Dog for the first time. Their food was great, including some amazing donut holes with Nutella. Who doesn’t like Nutella?

I haven’t posted a Thirsty Thursday drink in a while. However, the drink that I tried this week was definitely worth talking about. I go to a local market in the Dallas area almost every Sunday. They have everything from drinks, tacos, breads, salsas and fresh vegetables. This past Sunday, there was a new vendor, […]
Many of you know that Nekter Juice Bar is one of my favorite places. I have posted several drink reviews from their various menu items. Now, let’s rewind back to last week. I was looking for something to knock out the last bit of a cold I had. I used to take turmeric pills on […]
A couple of weeks ago, I was feeling like a cold was coming on. Usually my eyes start getting really itchy and my throat tingles a bit. I had a meeting to go to right after work on that particular day. So, I didn’t have time for a sit down dinner. I am slowly trying […]
Many of you know that I just released my latest poetry book, Commissioned To Love. One of the book signings I hosted was at one of my favorite wine bars, Two Corks and a Bottle. Their ambiance is really relaxing and it was the perfect place to usher in the official release of my book. […]
