Hey Mon...We were in Jamaica

Hey Mon! Today's post is to tell you about our stop to Jamaica! It being 27 degrees here I have no problem telling you about my 90 degree day in Jamaica. For one thing,  I was shocked that "Hey Mon" is really said there and they get offended if you don't say it! 

We did a bus tour excursion which was a perfect way to see how Jamaica really looks and it's not that pretty once you get passed the beaches/resorts. They live pretty poor and they just add to their house not just move to a bigger one. 

If you don't want to be constantly bother to buy something then Jamaica isn't the place for you to visit! They swarmed the bus and once you get off the bus, you will hear, "Hey mon respect take a look at my handmade things." 

Our tour did take us to a little shack where we got to have a big box of Jerk chicken and Fiesta bread. AMAZING! 

I would not visit Jamaica again but it was very nice to experience it!

Tomorrow's post will be on our stop to Grand Turk which was my favorite stop out of all of them!

Hope everyone has a wonderful time celebrating the New year tonight!

Be safe!

Baby... We're cruising....

Hello everyone! I have been busy typing up some posts and I felt like telling you my cruise before anything else! The next 4 posts will be about the Cruise, which was Amazing! I would so do another one in heartbeat! Carnival Cruises really outdo themselves! The staff and food were out of this world! Our cruise was a 6 night on and we visited Jamaica, Grand Turk, and Nassau

Our Cruise was on the Carnival Breeze Ship I felt as if we were in a mansion on the ocean! There was always something to do! Comedy shows, movies one the deck, pools, hot tubs, live music, and dance shows. 

The food was amazing the whole floor was covered with buffet stations. there was Guy's Burger joint... Tacos from the Blue Iguana....on the Sea days there was BBQ and Hotdogs. The best was Pizza Pirate pizza was available 24 hrs. I was in heaven! 

The rooms I thought would be a lot smaller then they were! I really loved everything about this ship! 

I can't wait for our next cruise!

Tomorrow I will tell you about our first stop which was to Jamaica!

Tasty Tuesday: Chicken and Dumplings!!!!

Hello! Good Morning! Hope everyone slept well! 


I'm so excited that I found an easy recipe for Chicken and Dumplings! You know how I am on snow days I just like to cook and stay inside and watch movies or Netflix!! Well, with the slight coldness I have been dealing with this Fall, it made me a little worried. I also had a nightmare it snowed but it was all good I just needed to get back under the blanket. 

Anyway, I went searching on Pinterest  and I came across a pin that took me to this site Crowned Creations 

So I went to Walmart right away got all the ingredients and got to cooking! The recipe was so easy! Our meal was so delicious! I totally see this being a meal I will be cooking on our snow days and not be afraid to share with others! 

I served the Chicken and Dumplings with Garlic bread and Sweet Tea! 

Hope you enjoy this dish! Comment below and let me know how you like it!

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Stay warm and stay smiling!

Brewery fun!

Oh my goodness! Yesterday was so much fun! All 8 of my friends and I squeezed ourselves into a car and went on a road trip to Charlottesville to visit 4 breweries! It was one of the Best Days EVER! 

Our first stop was Castle Hill Cider! It was very nice the girl did a great job telling us about each tasting which to do the tasting was only $8 and we tasted 5 their brews. My favorite was Serendipity! The place was beautiful and they said that they held weddings there. It was beautiful I would totally get married there! 

Our next stop was Blue Mountain Brewery! It wasn't what I expected when I think of breweries. what I think is kinda the museum feel...yeah no this was like a sports bar feel! We were all seated right away and we ordered "The Flight" which was a sampler of all their Lagers. $9 to sample 10! I could only do the first one! They got worse as you went on. We ordered some snacks there as well, I got the Buffalo chicken dip. I didn't like it... my friend makes a better Buffalo Chicken Dip. I tried someones pinch of Pretzel and you should totally get the pretzel and cheese if you visit!

Then it was on to my favorite stop of the day! Bold Rock! You get to see an sneak peek of the machines behind the scenes view. They had free tastings! My favorite was the Bold Rock Virginia draft! So Yummy! It doesn't bloat you at all! Beautiful scenery!

  

 Our last stop was Devil's backbone. It was completely packed a few of us got a beer to taste and we all agreed Bold Rock was better and we left.

It's was a fantastic day! So if you are in the mood for a road trip, I would totally go visit those places!
