pick of the week: fresh mediterranean style food…fast
A couple of weeks ago a friend and I went for dinner at Zoës Kitchen in Plano at Park and Preston. I had never been there before but it came with high recommendation so, without knowing the type of food served, we decided to try it. Zoës Kitchen is a casual restaurant serving Mediterranean-inspired recipes, fast. Fresh made hummas, [...]
pick of the week: spring scentibility, bond no. 9 central park west
I love good fragrances and when I have one on, it’s like aromatherapy to me. A couple of weeks ago I went to Saks Galleria Dallas to purchase a fragrance from my favorite brand, Bond No. 9. I have mentioned my love of Bond before; I can not get enough of the “scents of New [...]

california pizza kitchen: always a delight
With so many restaurants to choose from, I always forget how much I love California Pizza Kitchen. They are kind of tucked away inside The Shops at Willow Bend but every time I’ve been there, the place has been packed. Last week a friend was visiting and she’d never been to CPK so it was [...]
Want of the Day~January 24, 2012
I love hummus, but who would have thought I would love hummus chips?! I came across Simply 7 Snacks Hummus Chips the other week at Kroger and they are fantastic. I love that the brand is out of Houston and my favorite flavor is Spicy Chili Pepper. They are not hot but they have a [...]
Want of the Day~January 10, 2012
Last night I decided I deserved a treat and popped into Magnolia Cafe & Bakery on Hebron in Carrollton.
