Do you know the perfect way to grill salmon?

I love variety when I cook! Especially when it comes to grilling. Sometimes you get tired of the staples: steaks, ribs, hot dogs, chicken. You may want a little something different, like grilled veggies or turkey burgers or salmon. Here’s a quick video on how to grill salmon like a pro!

Are Cupcakes Still Hot?

I think so! I can’t get enough of sweet treats on the go, I guess that’s why I love cookies so much. Even though others may say that the fad is over and whoppie pies are the new cupcake, I disagree. And after having an  original cupcake from Naticakes, you’ll be singing the same tune as me.

From the mouthwatering S’more cupcake to the chocolate raspberry truffle, your tastebuds will dance with joy after just one bite! There are so many to choose from, you’ll spend at least 30 minutes trying to decide!

The cakes are a little pricey at about $3 a pop, but they are well worth it. Don’t you think you deserve a little treat every now and then?

Have you ever had one of Naticake’s cupcakes?

Loveless Café! It doesn’t get any better!

Who hasn’t been to Loveless Café? Better yet, who can say that they’re from Nashville, and haven’t even HEARD of those infamous, flaky, fluffy biscuits with the homemade jam?! I’m getting hungry just thinking about it! You know what, just give me a basket of those for my birthday and I’ll be happy.

Whenever I’m in the area, I make sure to stop by. If I’m going for breakfast, (which is served all day), I’ll get the Southern Omelet. But if I’m going for lunch or dinner, I can’t resist the southern fried catfish! What can I say? I’m a southern girl. I’m also a slim, girl, but I can polish off a basket of biscuits by myself.

What do you think? What Loveless Café stories do you have to share?
