items West Central Florida, mainly Polk Co and Plant City, but we venture out when we are joyriding. You never know where we might end up!

This is the most amazing establishment. The boutique is so beautiful and tasteful. The Bistro is chef’s kiss.
The White Oak Cottage: Drink. Dine. Shop.
Divina walked over to the Peach House from the Library one afternoon. It was the most tranquil, lovely lunch we’ve ever had. We sat out on the front porch, enjoyed the sea breezes. Such a great menu too. Food was delicious and the staff so kind with...
The Peach House
This is my go to pick, mostly because I like a turkey dinner outside of thanksgiving season. They typically have it on the weekly specials menu, which is a double plus for me. I also love the variety in the country store and usually find my winter ...
Cracker Barrel
Divina gets fish and coleslaw with yellow rice. I always get the Philly steak with fried mushrooms. There is so much to choose from. The staff is so wonderful.
Dino's Drive-In
We did head over to Krate on one of our joyrides. It was an experience for sure. I think we hit it at the wrong time of day tho, late on Sunday. I think it would be more fun in the afternoon on Saturday maybe. There are tons of vendors serving all...
Krate at the Grove
This is one Divina requests slot
It's a bit far from home, but if we go joyriding anywhere near Avon Park, we make Olympic our meal stop
Divina loves it. I get those pickle chips Everytime too

Divina roast. One of the rare times she ordered meat. It was so tender. I watched as sh...
Gary Rack's Farmhouse Kitchen - Delray Beach
We end up in the drive thru here often. It’s such a great quick meal, cheesesteak, cheese fries, strawberry watermelon lemonade with fruity chunks. We bring our stainless boba straws so we can enjoy all the yummy fruity chunks. I have yet for her to...
Redman Parkway
Divina loves this place and asks often for me to take her here. She has good taste.
Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen
Divina loves the food here. I will admit its fresh and crisp and you choose.
Bolay Fresh Bold Kitchen - Brandon
We've been driving into Lakeland to get Divina Chipotle. But we cannot wait until they are open in Plant City, I spy a drive thru at that location. Going in is sometimes difficult for Divina with her schizophrenia.
Chipotle Mexican Grill in Lakeland, FL
Adri's is between work an the house. Guess who gets visited alot. There are probably a dozen taco spots along the route. We only come here!
Adri's Tacos
Next door to Adri's is Maria's Pupuseria, Mi Cielo. Maria is from the same area my hubby came from in El Salvador. Mi Cielo serves authentic Salvadorean pupusa with salsa and curtido. Her Horchata is made the Salvadorean method, with morro included. It's a one of a kinds scrumptious taste.
Mi Cielo Pupuseria
We run into Felton's and grab a plate from the tried and true deli. We love the fried okra, the fish, the eggrolls, tenders, you name it. Grateful this is close to home and work to grab on the go and get.
Felton's Meat & Produce Market
Note that this is Asian cuisine, not just chinese. They have some wonderful curry that Divina asks for on the regular. I always get the Thai tea without boba. Its one of our regular stops, when Divina is hungry.
Joyful Asian Cuisine
Best plate ever, Stuffed Shells, the cheese is so rich, the alfread genuine. I love this place
ABC Pizza House
This is our ice cream [custard] spot. Divina gets the Butterscotch brew, and I love the brownie or the cheesecake with custard. We drive a little extra to come to this location.
Andy's Frozen Custard
Divina went to school right up the hill from here. It's one of those places that are built into loving your home town. Such a great vibe to go get something and walk over to the park to relax.
Shake Shoppe
Divina orders the meatball Pho or the rare beef Pho, I get the steak with house sauce and white rice. We always get the milk teas, but this last visit, I tired the avocodo frappe and it was amazing. It will be hard to stray away from it in the future.
Saigon Bistro
Divina got the Diablo de mar and I did the trustee ol sirloin with sweet potato 🍠
Yummy
Ovation Bistro & Bar, Lakeland
Did someone say let’s go to Andy’s? Divina did and were heading over there now!
Andy's Frozen Custard
This is our steak stop. I only want steak from here. Pair it up with a baked sweet potato and I'm good. My favorite and only place for a foodie gift card too.
