From Farm to table: Charleston Farmers Market has what you need

Now typically this post would be about a recipe from my own kitchen, but this post is taking a different direction today. Typically you go to the store, buy the ingredients you need and prepare an amazing meal, well lets take store bought ingredients out of the picture and head to the farmers market. Yes the farmers market, where everything is home grown and brought to you fresh! I mean anyone who loves to cook would choose fresh fruits and veggies to cook with any day.

 I love walking around a farmers market and seeing all the locally grown fruits and veggies that many stands have to offer, but I also love seeing fresh foods like po'boys, beignets and iced teas. Obviously being a foodie, I couldn't just walk around and not get anything, so I indulged! 

 Pictured below is the fabulous Hibiscus Raspberry Iced Tea that was out of this world amazing!
Its vibrant color with hints of hibiscus and raspberry made for an amazing combination that was cool and refreshing on this hot Charleston day. 

 As I continued to walk around, I couldn't help but stop and look at each menu to see what indulgences each tent offered. In the picture above, this market place offered so many of my favorite foods that I couldn't choose. Yes I reached that point. From the fresh made po'boys (you could choose either shrimp, oyster, or roast beef) to the fresh made beignets dusted with powdered sugar, honestly I wanted to buy everything off the menu. One thing that I really loved about this market place was that everything was made fresh and to order. Also the smell coming from this tent was amazing and made my mouth water! The next time you are at the Charleston Farmers Market, search out this great find called Cafe Tippeneaux. 

 But I have to say, there were so many other places as well to get something amazing to eat. You can find homemade sausages, pork sammies, gyros and lots of fresh fruits and veggies. So if you are a foodie like me, this is a place you definitely have to visit, and also bring your appetite cause you definitely will want to have more than one thing! 
So have I made your decision on your next meal choice? I sure hope so! The next time you are wondering where to go for a good meal, sweet treat or homemade recipe, come right here and this southern girl will take care of you.

Dancin along to the Hoop Dee Doo Revue

Image
Ah.. the joys of booking your Disney vacation and planning every detail down to the fast pass times, dining locations and even what time you need to catch the bus back to your resort at the end of a busy day. Well if you want to make your trip interesting.. plan a surprise dining location (which is what happened on my latest trip) to start your vacation off on a good note. My twin sisters boyfriend booked our first night dining at Fort Wilderness Lodge at the Hoop Dee Doo Revue! A location I have heard so many great things about, it was an awesome surprise to start our week long vacation. Nestled in the depths of Disney's Fort Wilderness and sitting along Seven Seas Lagoon, you will find the Pioneer Hall where you will sit and enjoy a countrified feast. If I can give you some advice, be prepared to sing, clap and stomp along to some good ol' rustic country tunes. But i bet you are really interested in the country fare that we dined on.. well keep reading and I will share...

Dining with Chip and Dale around the Garden Grill

Image
Nothing like enjoying the day exploring Magic Kingdom, riding Big Thunder Mountain or visiting your favorite princess; but after all of that walking, you are going to need a filling dinner. Well for us we ventured to Epcot and dined with Chip, Dale, Mickey and Pluto at The Garden Grill. An all you can eat fare dining with some of your favorite characters is a perfect way to end the day.  Nestled in The Land Pavilion located right above Soarin' Around the World sits Garden Grill; a rotating restaurant that serves your meal "family style" all while dining with Mickey and some of his farm friends! Upon walking up and checking in, you take one look up and you see Mickey and his friends walking around saying hi and snapping photos with diners (and if you are like my twin sister, you are bouncing up and down waiting anxiously to meet Chip and Dale). We were fortunate enough to be greeted by David and walked to our table. He had a great personality and was one of the many outs...

"Crusin" into Nassau, Bahamas Day 2

Image
So Day 2 and we have found ourselves in the port at Nassau, Bahamas. Arriving into port early in the morning, the sunrise was beautiful and the views from our balcony were spectacular. Now Matt and I decided to not venture off the boat (since it was our first cruise) and what a smart decision that was. Literally everyone got off at the port and we basically had the whole ship to ourselves. After indulging in the Lido deck buffet for breakfast, Matt and I wandered around the ship and really got to explore (since during days out to sea, the ship is crowded). On the Carnival Liberty you will find: the Casino, The Fun Shops, The Venetian Palace (the place where Matt and I scored big during Bingo!), the Serenity deck (for those of you 21+), and so much more.  After really walking through the ship, we decided to go out on the Lido deck and enjoy the nice day, grab a drink and watch the on-board movie (the new Beauty and the Beast)! Now many of you would think I went right for...
