Foodie Friday-Haberdish

January 17, 2020 • ,


Welcome to Foodie Friday!
I know, I am behind the times because this restaurant has been opened since 2016 in NoDa but, better late than never, right? 

NoDa is in the North Davidson Street area of Charlotte and it has such a cool, funky vibe with bars, restaurants and lots of cool places to just hang out. If you haven't visited NoDa in a while, you are really missing out.
 I have a list(literally)of places I want to eat, and this week's foodie Friday had been on the top of the list for a while now.

Today's Foodie Friday features Haberdish.
Owned by Jeff Tonidandel who also owns several other restaurants in the area like Growlers, Crepe Cellar and Reigning Doughnuts(adorable and delicious)
Read all about my love of Reigning Doughnuts and other places to eat along the light rail line here when I was featured on Charlotte's best bites.

If you like riding the light rail it runs thru NoDa from the University Area and all the way to South End, so ride the rail to your next adventure.


Y'all know as a Southern girl, I have eaten my weight in fried chicken(anything fried), collard greens, mac & cheese, deviled eggs, and this meal was no different.



The Deviled Eggs were the best I have had since my Momma's.


I could have eaten a bunch more of these smoked deviled eggs cause they were really yummy.


These hushpuppies are big and delicious and served with a soft creamy butter

Really big hushpuppies served with a sweet tea butter



These foods are right up my Southern Roots dirt road of things to eat


Fried Chicken comes in white or dark meat. This is 2 of each an it was perfect

We had the 4 pieces of chicken(2 white/2 dark) and the collard greens and mac & cheese, you can see the sides are huge.


The inside of Haberdish is simple decor that makes you feel comfortable and welcome

Haberdish markets themselves primarily as a walk-up restaurant but will take reservations for large groups.

 They have plenty of room in the dining area, bar or the glass-enclosed patio.


The Bar at Haberdish is a nice size to accommodate a crowd, but also not the main attraction either

Stop by the bar for a drink or a local craft beer, and enjoy some Southern hospitality and down home cooking.

I am happy to have finally eaten at Haberdish but, now I can't wait to go back again.

How to Set And Achieve Any Goal

January 15, 2020 •

Here we are, Mid-January and are you wishing you were taking steps to a new goal in your life. Those New Year's resolutions wore off right about the time as the champagne hangover. 

 It is ok, life happens to all of us and we can start over any minute, day, week or month.

This is how I have seen the success of my goal setting over the years.

1. Write your goals down and have a clear plan on how to achieve each goal. 
Tape your goals up where you will see them every day and this will help you stay focused on the end prize of your goal. Make a goal board, if you have too. Cut out pictures of your goal and that will inspire you to work harder at achieving. I love goal boards, they really help me when I am trying to envision what my goal is.
But then again, I am a visual person. 
One of my goals is to save money and I am using the 52-week money challenge to help me. Are you saving money this way?
Check it out here if you would like to get involved.

2. Set goals for different areas of your life. 
If you can achieve a goal in one area of your life, why not make goals for relationships, money, and self. This way all areas have a chance of growing and becoming better. 
Goal Setting that actually works


3. Get a partner if needed 
If you already know you need accountability to reach your goals, then reach out to a friend and ask to become goal partners. You cheer each other on, and it will be fun also. You can even contact me, and we can become cheerleaders for each other.
4. Make goals measurable 
 Set review times to see how the goal is progressing and how much longer until you celebrate. Break down large goals into small manageable pieces. Stay on top of your goals and monitor them often.


5. Set goals that are realistic and attainable
Realistic is a big word here. What is your "REALISTIC" goal? Don't just make something up off your head, really put some thought into your goal.
How are you going to hit your goal target? I always say you have to have a map and a plan to get anywhere. What are you doing today to reach your goal?
It is ok if baby steps are all you can do each day! 

 My Goals for 2020

My goals for 2020 are written down, mapped out, and I have made a goal board. My goals this year will push me out of my comfort areas, which I think is a good thing. 
My goals will make me a better person and hopefully, the people around me will become better humans too.
My goals are customized to me and my life and will bring me joy and happiness and make my life better.


 BE BRAVE, TAKE THE HILL!
NOW THE QUESTION IS........
WHAT IS YOUR HILL?

Foodie Friday- Flock

January 10, 2020 •

I hope everyone is back in the swing of the New Year.
My household and I are just getting back to routines and schedules after some time off of work and school.

 We are starting to look forward to Spring Break coming up in March. 
Where should we go for a break? 
The Mountains?
The Beach?


Remember, I told y'all my 2020 adventures included lots of food goals? 
Then I kicked off the New Year with this post here!

And now, yep you guessed it more food.

 This Foodie Friday is featuring Flock.
A nice quaint, family-owned and operated restaurant located in the Morrison Plantation shopping center in Mooresville, NC. I had been trying to get here for some time because I kept hearing about their charcuterie board and trust me, it did not disappoint. They also make all their salad dressings in house. 

Fried Asparagus with stuffed mozzarella cheese, rolled with prosciutto, anchovy garlic butter
Fried Asparagus
We kicked off dinner with these fried asparagus stuffed with mozzarella and rolled in prosciutto and they were really delicious! Something about the mixture of asparagus and prosciutto, wrapped together makes a tasty combination but, add frying and that really makes it over the top.


Charcuterie board with aged blue cheese, brie, capicola, pate, olives, pickles and grapes
Cheese & Charcuterie Board
The menu options offered at Flock for the cheese & charcuterie board are endless as you can customize to your liking. You can have all cheese or a mixture of meats and cheese. Whatever you like, Flock will make.

 Our board came with brie and aged blue cheese, capicola, pate, olives, pickles, grapes, and bread.


A small plate of truffles is the perfect dessert size and the perfect end to a delicious meal
Truffles

 These truffles were the perfect end to an awesome meal. You know how it goes you fill up on your food, and hardly ever save room for dessert, trust me this is the one time when you need to save room for these assorted truffles.
Flock-Where friends meet and cheese. Located in Mooresville, NC

Flock is open for lunch and dinner
Closed on Mon & Tue
Open Wednesday thru Sunday from 11am to 12 am

52 Week Money Savings Challenge

January 6, 2020 •

I am going to keep this short and sweet. Who could use $1,378? You know Christmas will be rolling back around again and I want to share how you can get ahead of the game.

This is not my idea as it has been around forever but, I do like doing this challenge every year.

This is called the 52 week challenge. Yea, I know we are in week two of the New Year but, it's ok.  We are only $3 behind.
You can start this challenge at any time during the year, your end result will differ though.

For the most bang from your savings account, you can also start at week 52 and work your way backward. It's all up to you.

Do you need an accountability partner? 
I know I do, we can cheer each other on for 52 weeks.
 Let's Have Fun and save some cash.

52 Week Money Savings Challenge


 So, here we go-get an envelope and mark it January and follow the guide above but, really you are just depositing one more dollar then you did the following week. Then month by month you keep saving. I call this the fill it and seal it method.

Open a new savings account if you need to, so you can keep track of your money savings goal. 

This money is not to be touched unless for emergencies only.
Only you can decide what is an emergency in your house but, my wish is that you will give it a great chance and push yourself out of your comfort zone and in December you will be so happy you did this.

If you need a partner to cheer you on, let me know. I am here for you.

Happy Savings in 2020,
