the 23 layer chocolate cake

During Restaurant Week back in February, we got to eat at Michael Jordan's Steak House. We were not disappointed by the delicious food. The garlic bread was a-m-a-z-i-n-g! The waiter poured the blue cheese fondue over the bread in front of us. I can eat this bread everyday. Of course we chose steak as our entree. And for dessert...we chose the bread pudding and chocolate mousse. But we had to order the famous 23 layer chocolate cake too! It was a good night.

ZUCCHERO & PAPER

Hello there! Sorry I {ashley} haven't written for awhile...I've been busy juggling multiple jobs. But now I'm back to blogging! While I was gone from the blogging world, I've been busy designing greeting/custom-made cards. You saw a glimpse of my designs here. When Christmas came along I was making holiday cards for my family and friends...and then it hit me. Designing cards is my passion! I love how a card can make someone smile.

I hope to be up on etsy within a year. But for now, you can see more cards on Facebook.<--{please Like}

On our last day in Atlanta, Gerogia {back in Feburary} we ate at Olmstead {Midtown, Atlanta} for brunch. The meal was delicious. allison loves shrimp & grits so that was a must-have dish. I'm usually not a huge fan of shrimp & grits but this is probably the best I ever tasted. I loved the sweet corn in the grits.
