Best Things to Do in Chattanooga

Fall Foliage coming in...bliss!

Aretha Frankenstein's 

Thank goodness for Dr.K

This cool fall morning, I woke up reminiscing about a great weekend getaway Dr. K and I took a couple of years ago. I just looked at the pictures, 2009? Ouch! Time just feels like it is passing me by! I want to go on more weekend excursions, and today's post is encouraging you to do the same. For us Alabama folks, especially in the northern region, Chattanooga is a great place to do just that. Here are a few suggestions of great places to visit, eat, shop, and stay:
1.) Back Inn Cafe-Excellent local fare!
2.) Tony's Italian-Italian at it's best!
3.) Aretha Frankenstein's-Breakfast to blow your mind and barstools that are fit for kings.
4.) Delta Queen-Who doesn't want to sleep on a riverboat?
5.) Chickamauga National battlefield-A must for history buffs like me!
6.) Bluff View Art District http://www.bluffviewartdistrict.com/: SO serene at night, safe for walking.
7.) Art Shops along Market Street: Local crafts out the wazoo!

A Tight, A Sock, A Boot

We all know that I love the tights and boots combo. However, sometimes tights are not enough to stabilize a long hard day of boot wearing. Instead of hiding my sock inside the boot, I sometimes have it peeping out on top. This adds a great extra touch to an outfit, especially when it's cold out.  This one small change can transform the cozy factor, which I live for in a good outfit. One last note, I hate tights with seams at the toe. I once had a good discussion about this with a friend. How validating to know I'm not alone? After awhile, the seam hurts, especially with a sock on top. If this also bothers you, feel good to know that I've seen plenty more seamless tights out this season. That means, someone's thinking it through! Have a great Wednesday!

A Delicious Decaf

Ok, I'm obsessed with blogging on coffee. Sorry, I'm not sorry. Publix has this BOGO this week and it is fabulous! Hello? Two bags of coffee for $5.87 total? Yes, I'm all in. I am always looking for great blends for FRENCH PRESS. It's not too weak like many decaf blends, and is great for cold fall nights!

Apple Appetizer

It's apple season! Yippee! What to do with all those crisp apples? Make appetizers for guests, of course! These little gems are SO good together. Who knew? I thought it might be a great idea for a salty sweet bite and I loved it.

You'll need:
These crackers
Apples of any kind, in a thin slice
A hunk of blue cheese

Directions:
Lay crackers out on platter
Slice thin strips of blue cheese
Slice thin pieces of apple
Layer cracker, cheese, then apple OR get wild and layer cracker apple then cheese.

P.S. You can toss apples in fresh lemon juice to keep them from browning.
