Few things in life give me as much pleasure as "homemade" Apple Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream. Heaven on a plate IMHO.

Savary Island makes one of the best Apple Pie's I've ever had the pleasure of stuffing my face with. It's so good, I refuse to share…More »

True story: I ate here twice a week, every week, for almost a year.

At every meal I ordered…More »

A big part of me wanted to keep this place a secret, close to my heart, but that would've been selfish and I've been told that's a bad thing to be.

So here goes - Sweet Carrie's is a mom & pop shop that makes the most amazing Pavlova Cakes in this…More »

Oh. My. Yummy. God.

If you haven' been to Ganache yet to try their chocolat-banane cake...don't go. I'm completely serious.
