Back in 2009 a group of friends and I had what we referred to as “Dinner Club”. Once a month we’d get together and try out a new restaurant, generally they were locally owned restaurants. In May of 2009 we went to Bayou down in Monett, Missouri. At the time 4 of the “members” worked…
Joplin recently got a new steakhouse. One thing about Joplin, there may be quite a few chain restaurants, however, when a new restaurant opens up, everyone and their brother seem to want to go eat there. For Christmas my uncle and his girlfriend gave us a gift certificate to go to Longhorn Steakhouse… the new…
Back when I was in college – geez that seems like forever and a year ago! – my friend Janet introduced me to McAlister’s Deli, in fact it was this McAlister’s she took me to, over on Sunshine in Springfield, MO. I swear, they are known for their sweet tea! It’s purdy darn good too!…
Once Thanksgiving hits our days spiral fast toward the end of the year between parties and trips and work in general. Yesterday, hubby and I had a free moment, a breather if you will and we decided to spend the entire day together doing nothing. Well seeing what sales were like after Christmas but pretty…

**Pulled off my Recipe Blog** Today is my 2nd wedding anniversary. Heck, I can’t believe I’ve been married for 2 years! One of my husband and my favorite places to eat is Zio’s Italian Kitchen. We recently went to eat there, so I thought I’d share our experience.
Saturday night hubby asked me if I’d have dinner with him. Well he should have known the answer to that question, but he proceeded to ask anyway. On our way to Jasper it started raining. Oh it was glorious! We wanted to jump out of the car and dance in it! Anyway, once we got…
My weekend started early last week. Hubby had a day and a half of vacation that needed to be used up. Kind of the use it or lose it thing. I had 3 1/2 days, so we decided to take 1 1/2 days of vacation together. So we both went to work on Thursday morning…
