Yesterday was a beautiful day.  It was Friday, very nice outside and both my husband and I had the glorious day off.  We decided to head to brunch at a good brunchin’ hour – around 10:00 am.  We hopped, skipped and jumped our way downtown and happened upon Dilly Deli.  I’d always been curious about the place but [...]

This morning the hubby and I were hankering for a hearty breakfast that wouldn’t disappoint.  We decided to try the Wild Fork since it has always piqued our interest as we have meandered around Utica Square.  The atmosphere is quirky and colorful with local art and pretty light fixtures.  This morning the restaurant was a hustle and [...]

Going out for breakfast seems like a throw away meal to me.  I would much rather dine out for brunch, lunch, dinner, or dessert.  It seems to me most breakfast joints are the same – bland scrambled eggs, bacon that is not crispy enough and cold toast.  On the other end of the spectrum is [...]

The Lowdown on Donuts review series is back with a review of Dixie Cream Donuts located in Jenks.  People have been singing praises of Dixie donuts to me for the past year but unfortunately I rarely head out that way.  Today Christine and I were in the neighborhood and decided to stop by for some sweets. [...]

I love berries.  Berries, berries, berries I could eat them all day.  This recipe is an adaptation from a Tyler Florence recipe.  I put my own twist on it and they turned out perfectly lovely!  Sweet, moist, tart from the berries and very delicious.  The recipe is as follows: Ingredients 2 cups unbleached flour 1 [...]

After Thanksgiving gorging and Black Friday craziness I woke up this Saturday morning rather late and feeling quite lazy. Brunch is perfect for those days when breakfast seems too early and lunch too far away. Having never tried The Chalkboard before it seemed like an intriguing choice for mid-morning fare. The atmosphere of The Chalkboard [...]

  I didn’t know I was in for a surprise when I went to Merritt’s Bakery this morning, I just knew I was going to get a tasty donut.  Upon entering the bakery and picking my number I was about to resort to my routine of getting one of their cinnamon rolls.  Instead, my eyes were drawn [...]

Gatsby’s Grill is a small restaurant attached to the North end of Gardner’s books located between 41st and 51st off of Mingo. The atmosphere is cozy; customers are nestled on an old-world style alcove with a view into the used book store. In keeping with the book theme, their menu has a lot of cute [...]

My parents were visiting from California and they happened to be staying at a hotel near First Watch, a breakfast/brunch joint in the Southern Hills area of Tulsa, so we stopped by for our first meal during their visit. We had high hopes for an establishment that focuses their menu on breakfast items and we were [...]

Yesterday my husband and I wanted to try some place new for breakfast so we decided to pop on over to Brookside and try The Crusty Croissant.  We both love bread, and adore croissants, so how could we go wrong? I decided upon the Breakfast Croissant ($6) which consists of eggs, cheddar cheese, choice of breakfast [...]
