Do yourself a favor get this pie!

TOLL HOUSE PIE

As you're driving down I-65 just past Birmingham, if you look off to the west you'll see big ole peach in the sky. No James didn't leave it there and no, it's not a Georgia peach. That's the water tower for the town of Clanton, Alabama. 

Hop off the interstate and head to Pies by Mike. Here's the address for your GPS: 1015 Lay Dam Road, Clanton, AL 35045. 

Order a slice of the Toll House pie. It's like a chocolate chip cookie but as a pie. SHUT THE FRONT DOOR, IT'S AMAZING! Now The Mister will tell you to order the Lemon Mousse and he's not wrong. It's refreshing on a hot day. 

Be sure to check their hours, here's a link to their website: https://pies-by-mike.square.site/ And please tell Mike his new friends from Indiana said hi!

Vacations Make THE.BEST.GIFTS!

You know it's true! Wouldn't you love to unwrap a relaxing getaway for two? I know I would. But let's face it, unwrapping just a piece of paper with a reservation on it isn't that fun. So here are 5 gift ideas of items you can give your love to open before they open up the reservation. I've included links to make it a little easier for you. Goodr sunglasses  are always polarized, affordable and fashionable! Here's a link with a wide variety  Goodr So Many to Choose From , and here's what I'm wearing now:  My Favorite Goodr Sunglasses .

Southern Cooking? Sure, I'll try it!

Image
Since we started visiting Alabama on the regular I've grown fond of southern cooking. I grew up in Indianapolis and have lived in the Hoosier state my whole life. And while our Hoosier hospitality is similar to the kindness you find in the south, the food we make Indiana isn't even close. Me and The Mister were at Sandy Feet Retreat over the new year and found ourselves at a pitch-in, I mean potluck as it's called in the south. And while I thought we were going to a New Year's Eve party it really was a college football watch party. College football is serious business in Alabama. #RollTide Not so much up north. #GoColts While The Mister is a play-it-safe kind of eater I'm an anything-goes-kind-of-gal. It was at this gathering that I discovered, drum roll please, Sausage Balls. OH.MY.GOODNESS. Where have these been all my life? Apparently on the back of the Bisquick box and all over the south. My friend at the condo sent me her sausage ball recipe so we decided to t...

Throwed Rolls. What now?

Image
Polish Sausage and Kraut Yeah, it's a thing. A very good thing. And at Lambert's Cafe there's no limit on those yummy rolls. They do indeed throw them, across the room, like ACROSS THE ROOM. No need to duck, these are professional pitchers. Add some apple butter and you'll be on cloud 9.  Lambert's Cafe opened in Foley, Alabama in 1996, the third in a small family chain, of exactly three restaurants.  The portions are large! You'll have enough to share or to bring home for leftovers. Most entrees come with sides and everything comes with "Pass Arounds." What's a Pass Around? They are sides everyone gets. People walk around from table to table with huge pots of yummy, southern food, that they dish out on your plate, or napkin. The apple butter I mentioned before, it's a pass around. Friend okra, pass around. Boiled cabbage, pass around. Black-eyed peas, pass around. You get the picture. PRO TIP: During tourist season go early. They are popular a...
