Recently while in Cullman we wanted to grab a bite to eat and we found a restaurant down the street from the Christkindlmarkt called The National. That meant we didn’t have to move the car or try to find another parking spot. It is also not somewhere that we visit often so we checked out…

Cullman Christkindlmarkt
We had been seeing posts about the Cullman Christkindlmarkt and knew we wanted to go, but we had to find time. We decided to go today and of course we hear that last weekend they had their biggest crowd. There was rain in the forecast last night when we went to bed, but we got…
Curry Corner
There is a new restaurant in English Village in Mountain Brook called Curry Corner. I pass by this restaurant every day on my way to and from work. It’s been open for a short time. We finally decided to give them a try one night on our way home from work. They brought us some…
Trampled By Tacos
Have you heard about a new restaurant in the Inverness area of Birmingham called Trampled by Tacos?? No, me either!! This was another Yelp find. It’s only been open a few weeks. We knew we wanted to go to dinner on a Saturday night so while we were watching the game I started scrolling on…
White Chili
Today has been a rainy day. Woke up to pouring rain and by this afternoon it was just a slight drizzle when we went grocery shopping. This weather had me thinking about making white chili for lunch but then I realized that we didn’t have any milk or sour cream. So I had to wait…

We’ve looked at some near where our nephew lives in Tennessee, but the ones we came across while scrolling on social media were never really, really convenient. We’ve looked at some that are kind of local to our area for sort of…
Little Betty Steak Bar
This year for my birthday, Jeff made reservations several weeks in advance on my actual birthday at Little Betty Steak Bar, which is a new steak and Italian fusion restaurant open in the Lane Park area of Birmingham. They use local farm fresh ingredients. It is named after the owners dog and originally started in…
Umami Ramen-Sushi-Bar
We recently had a week night date night. We met at a new restaurant in Trussville called Umami Ramen-Sushi-Bar. I went into this one blindly, I did not look at the menu ahead of time. I assumed if Jeff saw something that he would eat then I would be ok. Once there I had a…
Celebrating 31 years!
Our 31st anniversary was April 3. This year we just celebrated with local things. On Wednesday, our actual anniversary, we made reservations and went to Seasons 52. This was our first time there. The menu said that they keep all of their food under 595 calories. The restaurant has been open in Birmingham since 2013…
