restaurants

I have a dear friend who a total foodie. She has introduced me to so many incredible restaurants with delicious food I can't even remember them all. However, I was over-the-top delighted when she introduced me to the fast-casual Vietnamese eatery, WhatSub Bahn Mi last week...

Try the cinnamon-dusted cake donuts holes served with chocolate sauce. Heart healthy? Check out the A.M. super food bowl or avocado toast.

Everything was so good and satisfying. However, not so satisfying that we didn't make sure to save room for the lemon chess pie--which is now a favorite.

There are several places around East Texas that want to thank a veteran with free or discounted meals this Veterans Day. Don't miss the deals on Monday, November 11.

Sometimes it's the simplest things that can turn our days around and help us keep it all in perspective. So--thank you Jessica. You went above and beyond.

Take advantage of the Rose City Farmers' Market lovely local offerings from 8 a.m. until Noon, have tea with veterans, eat, and shop!

This is definitely one of my new favorite weekly "go-to" places. I encourage you to head there as soon as possible--because it's amazing. (Closed for Labor Day)

Locally owned with an incredible menu including the Italian dishes you always crave. Pizza, Lasagna, Tetrazzini, Shrimp Cognac and OMG the bread.

This time, the 'Taco Tour' heads to Catalina's to enjoy a "curated menu of both meat and veggie tacos...a special summertime drink, and great conversation..."
