Panama City Beach: Eats & Treats
Few things in life are better than taking a long weekend for some fun in the sun at the beach. For as long as I can remember, every summer growing up meant trips to explore the always sunny Eastern coastline. I’ve just returned (with a toasty nice tan, I may add) from the sugar-white sand…

Can we just all sit down on the front porch and chat for a moment? It is HAWT out, y’all.Nothing beats the heat better than the coldest of cocktails. Even with the heat, you can’t have a great summer without some patio time with friends. I’m whipping up a twist on a sweet southern favorite,…
