"Crusin" into Nassau, Bahamas Day 2

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 my classic drink Kiss on the Lips, but I am going to surprise you and tell you I mixed it up and went with a classic strawberry Daiquiri. Through out the day, I thought I would make this the day to try something new. My next new item was a Miami Vice. A drink that combines a Pina Colada and Strawberry Daiquiri. Below I will share the recipe's for both a Strawberry Daiquiri and a Miami Vice. 

 Miami Vice
The perfect frosty beverage while sitting on deck in the port of Nassau, the Miami Vice will compliment your tropical vacation. The ingredients include:

 5oz of Bacardi 151
1 bottle of frozen Pina Colada mix
1 bottle of frozen Strawberry Daiquiri mix
  • First mix the pina colada mix with 2 1/2 oz of Bacardi and ice
  • Next mix the strawberry daiquiri mix with 2 1/2 oz of Bacardi and ice
  • Then take a glass and tilt it sideways and pour some pina colada. Then keeping the glass tilted, pour the daiquiri mix.
Beautiful in the glass, it is a must take picture, post to Instagram drink!

Next comes the classic Strawberry Daiquiri

There was nothing better than enjoying a classic, frosty drink while sitting out getting some sun. Topped with a piece of pineapple, cherry and mini umbrella, this complimented any great cruise day.

Recipe:
  • mix daiquiri mix and 2 1/2oz of rum and ice.
  • Pour into glass and top with pineapple, cherry and mini umbrella. 
Doesn't this sound perfect? You can enjoy this on a hot summer day while soaking up the sun!

Now after spending a day getting some sun (and boy did we get more than we bargained for), it was time to get dressed and head to the dining room. After arriving to our same table, we were greeted by our servers from the night before. Ordering our "usual" drinks we browsed the menu and it sounded just as good as the night before.

Dinner for me included:
  • Seared Sea Scallops
  • Blue Crab Ravioli
  • Hazelnut Cake
The seared sea scallops were cooked to perfection and just melted in your mouth. The Blue Crab Ravioli was stuffed with lots of blue crab and had an amazing cream sauce that complimented the dish so well that even when I was full and didn't want anymore, I kept taking another bite. Then to end the perfect meal was a hazelnut cake. As any dessert lover knows hazelnut and chocolate are the perfect combination.

Well I hope you enjoyed this post, and I can't wait to keep sharing with you my awesome food adventure I had while out to sea! So have I made your decision on your next meal choice while onboard the Carnival Liberty? 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.

Dining with Chip and Dale around the Garden Grill

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

Another year and another Charleston Restaurant Week in the books. Y'all know how much i love Charleston and its food, so let me tell you the place I dined at this time was out of bounds good!  Nestled down near Waterfront Park in the Historic District of downtown Charleston sits the Vendue Hotel. With a perfect rooftop bar and even better restaurant downstairs, this is a location you can't miss! Sitting off the main lobby at the Vendue Hotel is the Drawing Room. An elegant, quaint restaurant, this is one of Charleston's best kept secrets. Now by taking one look at this place, you would think you needed to dress up, but let me tell you that you don't have to and consider this "Charleston casual."  Now the three of us were seated at a table and handed the special Charleston Restaurant Week menu and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. To start the meal off, we were presented with an amuse bouche or in the english version appetizer. Served on a crack

The Palmetto State "Blossoms" on this next Charleston favorite

Image
So this next blog post is going to introduce you to a restaurant I have always wanted to try, and when the opportunity arose for me to go I immediately jumped at the opportunity and went. Down on East Bay Street in Downtown Charleston sits a restaurant called Blossom. It's known as a "Stylish eatery serving simple yet inspired Lowcountry dishes ." Located at 171 E Bay St sits this quaint restaurant. Serving up some delicious seafood dishes and wood grilled pizzas, this is one place you need to eat at before you leave Charleston. What to order you may ask? Well by all means let me help you decided By scanning over the menu, you have a lot to choose from and narrowing down the choices can be difficult, but if you are like me, you would automatically find the dish with the most seafood and that will make your mouth water by just reading the description. Now the dish that I ordered did all of those things, so obviously I was in pure seafood heaven. Ready to see what
