Well hello there!

How are you?? Long time no see!!!! 


I am pretty sure we have all already established that I am a complete slacker when it comes to this blog. My friend S put it perfectly the other day (in a conversation about something completely different, but it still applies here)...


" I DO have the best intentions. I just can't do it all."


That is sooo true for me right now (and always), and sadly this cute little spot always suffers. It is my red-headed step child. But I promise that I will attempt to be better! :)


I also promise that I will try to start taking pics of all the awesome food I have been cooking/baking! I am completely addicted to Pinterest (do you pin?!?!) and have been making every recipe I see on there!!! But...it seems I get halfway through a recipe, and then remember to take pics! Woops!! 


But in the meantime...just got back from a FABULOUS girls weekend in Savannah with my darling friend, Britt. It was so perfect, and so needed for both of us! It was full of shopping, spa treatments and LOTS of amazing food! Can't wait for our next trip!!! And I am super measly on pics from this trip too, because my phone died 5 min after we left the hotel Saturday...so instead you get treated to our breakfast Sunday morning. 

We had brunch at Huey's on River Street and it was FABULOUS. Total surprise, but I will definitely be back! They are a N'awlins style place...so of course, we had to try the specialty....Beignets. Heaven!!!!

And then it came to the main course. You have to understand, I have a love affair with breakfast...especially Eggs Benedict. I can't turn it down...ever. Hollandaise is like crack heaven to me. I could eat it from a spoon  all the time. No joke. So...my dilemma...they were offering 4 different types of Benedict. It took me forever to choose. But I finally did...Eggs Sarnou. It was fabulous~ an English muffin topped with creamed spinach and artichoke hearts, a poached egg and smothered in crack Hollandaise. Served with a side of Parmesan Garlic Grits. Oh my...It was scrumptious~

Saturday night, we did what every tourist has to do at least once when visiting Savannah. We went to see The Lady. It wasn't bad...she, without a doubt, has fried chicken and baked goods down pat.  And a full bar...which is always necessary.  :)

The most amazing food we had though was Saturday lunch. (which of course I have no pictures of!) We stopped at a Thai restaurant, Saigon, which is at the corner of Bull & Broughton. It was, hands down, the best food we had all weekend. It was amazing! I will go back there every single time I visit Savannah. The staff was super friendly, the presentation was great; their green curry was great, the spring rolls were perfect, but the highlight of the meal was their Garlic Scallion Eggplant. It was AMAZING. Tempura battered eggplant "fingers" with a garlic scallion sauce. It just melted in your mouth every time you took a bite....mmmm. Now I'm craving it again!!! :D 


And yes....I ate gluten all weekend. Not so fun now, but surprisingly, it really didn't bother me too badly. But needless to say...it's going to be a week of mostly fruits and veggies in this house!!! :)  Now...off to clean!
