I’ll be honest… the island has been calling my soul since my visit to Mexico. The day hotel check in lead me a short bus ride thru the hotel district to the Blue Gecko…Lots of tasty margarita’s at the Surfin Burrito lead me aboard a sunlight mariachi  entertained sleep in to catch the  short afternoon ferry ride from Cancun across the deep blue sea to Isla Mujeres. The Island of Women to locals yet the heartbeat to a mermaid like myself. Rent a golf cart for a day and your vacay  can become a reality in a 20 mile around 5 mi across beachy dream!!

As a 1/2 mexican girl, sun.. tacos..guacamole and margarita’s warms my soul.

Short and Sweet, if u visit cancun on night one get a bite close to the hotel zone at the Blue Gecko and when day 3 comes catch the yello ferry across the ocean to Isla and you will not be disappointed.

Let’s Eat: Momma’s Kitchen

For a moment in time, I envisioned myself sitting in my grandparents’ house in Utica Mississippi. I was never able to visit until the house was only a field but the strong oak tree standing out front was all my father needed to see in order to know he made it back home.

Southern traditions run deep, family recipes at times may never have been written down. Anyone can attempt to make Grandma’s…

Let’s Eat: Nighthawk’s

For years, my mouth has watered when reading reviews of Nighthawk’s renowned cheeseburgers made with in house meat that’s grinded, cured and smoked then cooked fresh on a hot griddle topped with that magical sauce, pickles and onions… Since it was too early for lunch or dinner, we met in the middle and went to a mid-day brunch. Don’t worry I’ll be back again! Once every few months I take the boy…
