Lo-Lo’s Chicken & Waffles-Phoenix and Las Vegas
My first visit to Lo-Lo’s Chicken & Waffles was in Phoenix, AZ. The atmosphere was nice, the service was good but the food was nothing short of AMAZING!!!

Taste-Kitchen & Cocktails-Massapequa, NY
Taste-Kitchen & Cocktails, located on Merrick Road in Massapequa, has restored my faith in dining out! I hit a rough patch for a while with my food excursions but Taste far exceeded my expectations. I cannot find one thing I would change about my experience. From the atmosphere to the service and food, everything was…
Mango Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
I love sweets! Generally I would gladly choose a really good dessert over an entrée if I had to pick one. For me, nothing ends the day better than a good meal, followed by a great dessert and a cup of coffee, preferably blueberry. I love anything chocolate for dessert but when chocolate is not an option, Pineapple Upside-Down…

Waffles, waffles and more waffles.
I was inspired to make waffles topped with pineapples and bananas. I sautéed the pineapples in butter and brown sugar before placing them over the waffles. I sautéed the bananas in butter only. Instead pancake syrup, I made a salted caramel sauce to add a different burst of flavor. They wouldn’t be complete without the finishing touch of whipped cream and a…

Pillsbury Apple Crescent Dumplings
Pillsbury Apple Crescent Dumplings have been around for decades. This was a regular dessert in my house as a child. I have fond memories of my sister making these for us on a Friday or Saturday night. They didn’t last very long. As soon as they came out of the oven we devoured them and…
