It has been far too long since I’ve given this little blog of mine some love! Let’s dust this old thing off, shall we?

It’s so secret that I’m a huge foodie! But as much as I love being in the kitchen, I also really enjoy checking out restaurants, sweet shops, breweries, and bars – especially those that you’ll only find in my little corner of the world. If ever there was a poster child for NC love, it would be me! I am passionate about mom-and-pop kind of places, chefs that source their ingredients locally, ethically, seasonally, and sustainably, business that care about keeping the community thriving, and of course all things NC! I have such love for my home state – the people, the history, the food, the flavor – I’m excited to get to share it!

So credit for this new part of my blog is owed to my little sister, who has been after me to add some local restaurant review flair for ages. Well, I’m not sure I like the word “review”. I am by no means a food critic or any sort of professional. Really these posts are just going to be my impressions of the joints I visit. I’m going to mostly use these posts to remember all the places I’ve been to, but if they inspire others to get out and enjoy what all this area has to offer, then even better!

So without further adieu, my new NC Love section of the blog:

All of my posts will still be posted on the main page in chronological order but I will “index” all of the local love posts on the NC Love page just as I do for my recopies on the Recipe Box page.

Eventually, per my little sister’s request, I will also add content to the blog about the bit of traveling I’m able to do. Lots of good things comin’ to S&S!
