Lately with these sweltering days I wanted something not only a bit lighter for lunch, but something different. I have loved and enjoyed pimento cheese spread out of a jar or a plastic tub from the grocery for years, BUT I have never made it fresh myself! I will put it on crackers, sliced cucumbers,…
Today we enjoyed lunch at Sophie’s Cafe, located at 120 Sebring Square in the Goodwill Plaza, behind McDonalds. I will confess, being from the Heartland, Puerto Rican and Cuban food is very new to me. Sophie’s offers several traditional American sandwiches along with their extensive ethnic offerings. The classic ham and cheese was a pared…
Who doesn’t love a delicious cold salad on a hot steamy day?! If you’re like me, you’re thinking twice about heading out to your favorite local eatery amidst this global pandemic we’re experiencing these days.

You can substitute “lite” or “reduced calorie” dairy products and use less sugar if desired. The sweetness and crunch…
I received several recommendations to give Galati’s Family Restaurant a try. We arrived “early” as recommended, about 5:00 p.m. on a Tuesday. It was good recommendation because about 6:00 p.m. is was pretty busy. It is nice they have enough seating for larger groups to dine in. The décor has a lot of nostalgic pictures…
It’s certainly winter in Florida! One day it’s 55 degrees and 85 the next! When the temperatures drop I look forward putting a pan of soup on the back burner to simmer. The easier the better! This recipe for 8 Can Mexican Chicken Soup fits the bill. It’s easy to substitute items according to your…
With Super Bowl 54 right around the corner I thought I’d share 3 recipes that are simple to whip up in no time. Serve any of these with your favorite crackers, pretzels, or chopped vegetables and you have a snack that will have them coming back for more. ~~Million Dollar Dip~ ~ 8 oz. whipped…
We recently visited Faded Bistro and Beer Garden at 420 N. Ridgewood Drive in the heart of downtown Sebring.
