Street Corn Dip
Jeff loves a good street corn, whether it’s on the cob or off. We are always looking to try street corn, whether it’s in a Mexican restaurant, a barbeque restaurant, food truck, or wherever we may see one advertised or a recipe that we come across. He found this recipe on social media so we…
Waldo’s Chicken and Beer
There is restaurant that recently opened in Cahaba Heights, a suburb of Birmingham, called Waldo’s Chicken and Beer. It’s kind of like a fast food chicken place with a bar.

The Battery
We recently checked a restaurant off our to try list. We met one Saturday at The Battery in Homewood. We were going to start with the Beer Cheese Queso and guess what…..they were out of Beer Cheese. So we decided not to have an appetizer as nothing else on the appetizer menu appealed to us…

Christmas Baking for a Change
This year I took some time off around the holidays, which I don’t normally do. I got in a baking mood and decided that I wanted to bake some homemade cookies to take to the family gathering. After picking out the recipes I went to the store for things like plain flour, candy canes, dark…
