The sun is shining, daylight lasts longer, and Miami Spice returns… it’s like Christmas for foodies (on budgets like me) to rejoice! What kicks off the season?

A grocery store chain from the West coast that finally brought one store here to South Florida a little over a year ago. …
So we stumbled upon this little treasure thanks to the Miami New Times’, Best of Miami 2014 declaring Mi Rinconcito Mexicano as having the best burrito in Miami and years before in 2009 they declared it the best Mexican restaurant in Miami. So I went to check it over with my family and we found …
I have opted to wait until this series’ true end to write about it. Why? Despite the criticisms over the last few seasons (and I include myself in that), I love this show, Charlaine Harris’ series of books on which it’s based on, and I can’t imagine Sundays without it. It’s been a part of …
