Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt meets those needs with its array of delicious and decadent frozen treats. Located in the Merchants of Seacrest Beach on [...]
723 Whiskey Bravo Bistro & Bar- Cool, Casual & Coastal
The story of Seagrove’s 723 Whiskey Bravo Bistro & Bar is one of people coming together, beginning with the name itself. Owners Skip and Victoria Moore started off the second chapter of their lives with a bang by purchasing an airplane five years ago though neither one had a pilot’s license. They logged the necessary hours [...]

Fail-Proof Tart Pastry Dough & Tate’s Bake Shop Giveaway
The first time I saw Tate’s Bake Shop was on a Food Network Show with Ina Garten. She visited with owner Kathleen King and toured the baking facility, creating and sharing a delectable cookie recipe at the end of the episode. Located in a quaint building in the Hampton’s, I knew after seeing Tate’s Bake [...]

Emeril’s Gulf Coast Shrimp Melt & #SeriousSandwich
In the South we love Shrimp Salad. Fresh Shrimp plucked from Coastal waters, boiled in a spicy broth, chilled, peeled, and whipped with herbs and mayonaise; it is a staple in most households, and is favored at potlucks. Served on toast points, resting on a bed of lettuce, or in a big pretty glass [...]
Elkmont-Alabama Belle Chevre Tomato Soup, Croque Monsieur & Tasia’s Table Cookbook Giveaway
I have always loved cheese. Most people that know me personally know that fact.

I am [...]

With that, Virtual Potluck was invited [...]
