The Viking and his Queen

After a week of eating like I was 24 again I can let you all know I will be working out everyday moving forward. However, to start my summer I went out for dinner during Buckhead Restaurant Week. I picked FLIP which by far is a favorite of mine. It's Wednesday night in Atlanta it's hot and sunny and what did I need well of course a burger and shake. Go no where else but FLIP in Buckhead. We walked right in before the rush of dinner and sat out on the patio. I ordered a new drink they have for summer (they have a new menu for each season) a Peach Sangria  it was sweet and so cool. I loved it served with an over flow of dry ice for a smoke effect I loved every sip.  We started with the fried app sampler. It has vodka battered Onion rings, sweet potato tater tots and French fries. And of course all the sauces you may need. My favorite is the Blue Cheese foam.  My date ordered the Chorizo burger with a fried egg on top. I decided to order the burger of the month it's a beef bur

I can tell you that it has been years since I've taken some time away for my self. Not to visit family but a true weekend away. And I was surprised this past weekend by my boyfriend to do so.  He book a cabin in Blue Ridge Ga at My Mountain cabin rentals. It was beautiful! The mountains are lovely this time of year we had a great cabin at the top of the mountain on the end of the road. It was a three story cabin with two room an open floor plan and a game room. It had two patios and a fantastic hot tub over looking the view.  We spent out first night grilling steaks and drinking cocktails on the patio. Music playing in the background and a beautiful sun set we could not have asked for more.  Saturday morning we got up early and went in to town. There is a downtown area off Main st. You can shop here and even eat and drink. Even with the rain we walked up and down from store to store shopping and enjoying the day. I bought a new leash and collar for my dog in a boutique for pets. Th

Nothing better on a bright and sunny afternoon than a margarita on the rocks and some good company. So this week I decided to go on an adventure and check out Nuevo Laredo Cantina located at 1495 Chattahoochee Ave NW, Atlanta, GA 30318. It's a great little hidden spot in Atlanta that has some of the best Mexican food you can find!  Walked in and got a table in the main dinning   area. Where you will find decor that is Charming and funny. Lots of pictures and some great signs! Chips and fresh salsa hit the table first. The chips are warm and salsa is fresh and spicy! The server came on and took out orders. We ordered margaritas on the rocks w salt now I will tell you the drink to order is the Cadillac margarita it's big and fantastic, but it was a week day so I went with the smaller one still as tasty just smaller!  The serve them by the glass or pitcher and prices start at $6.50.  Now I will have to let you in on a secret if mine. I have a weakness for a Chili Relleno. I have f

It's Friday night and all want a place to go eat, drink and wash the week away. And on Friday night I did just that! I decided to try out a new spot in town Industy Tavern off peachtree in Atlanta.  A hidden place by the Hyat in the heart of Atlanta in the Buckhead district.  The front is hard to make out still as not all the signage has bed put up however I loved the glass garage doors that give the restaurant an open fell. We walked in to an open floor plan bar in the middle. And to our surprise a DJ was playing. We made a reservation as I recommend you should do as well. The place is busy.  The host sat us and was very friendly the tables are mostly bar style high tops black napkins and unmatched cutlery very unusall for the area but cute!  The server Chad was very nice offered suggestions and got us drinks quickly. We ordered the risotto ball and meatball small bites. Now while I will say the risotto ball was served to us with a cold inside it was corrected quickly and several
