happy friday everyone!

so, last night my family and i went to an awesome little place near my house called Fazari's. it's an italian restaurant and although they are small size-speaking, they have so many foods on their menu it's insane. i went the non-adventurous route and just got a calzone with double cheese, green olives and pepperoni. IT WAS UNREAL. by far the best calzone i've ever had. it was the size of my head (maybe bigger) and surprisingly only $10!

the restaurant itself is small, as i mentioned before, so they call it a "take-out restaurant" where you can only get the food to go. no sit-in eating because honestly there was just no space! this was no problemo for us though, there was a beautiful park near by and it was a nice evening so we decided to grab a picnic bench and feast there.

back to the restaurant's location though. it's right in the middle of this residential area which i thought was a little odd, but since the homes in that area are neat old houses it didn't look too out of place! the houses surrounding all had their original stone walls, they're were sick. i love old houses, they have so much character.

my overall thoughts on this place are that i'm definitely going to be craving it's calzones on the daily and i can't wait to go back again!

have you guys discovered any amazing little restaurants where you're from? let me know!

sunday brunch

my family is very close and we like to have little family outings anytime that we can. last weekend my younger sister, my mom, my granddad and i all went out for some sunday brunch at a cute little restaurant called the dutch mill. this is just down the street from my mom's house and i love going there. its so rustic and unique. its a mixture of shopping and food--that's the perfect mixture if you ask me. they have the best food, it's so simple and just like home-cooking. 

knick knacks

we always love coming here because of the awesome food and because of it's comfy atmosphere. it's just a lovely place to chit chat and catch up with the family.
