I'm not a foodie but I know what I like

Island Ice Cream, Gulf Shores, Alabama


 A quick search of the word Foodie gave me this definition:

                        a person with a particular interest in food; a gourmet.

I wouldn't say I have a particular interest in food and I'm certainly not a gourmet, just ask The Mister. While I can grill a pretty mean steak, pop a fine batch of popcorn (stove top yo, never microwave), and fry up some tasty eggs, I'm not your go-to-gal when it comes to pitch-in offerings. You can count on me to bring a bag of chips and salsa. I was sending money and pizza coupons to sick or bereaved friends long before Door Dash came along. 

But, one thing is for sure, like most people, I love to eat and don't like to waste money on bad food. 

In this occasional series I'll share some of my favorite places to eat. I'll set my sights on the Gulf Coast because you know I love Gulf Shores y'all. Sandy Feet Retreat is my happy place. But, I'll toss in some places along the way and maybe even a few from up home. And, I may even get a little adventurous and try some new recipes. 

So, put on your stretchy pants and join us for the ride.

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...
