The Food I ate this Weekend: Cheesecake Factory
It has been a while since I visited the Cheesecake Factory. I was curious to see if the menu had changed. It did change. Instead of getting something new, I got more of the same. I am a creature of habits. We did a reservation. WE got seated pretty quickly. We ordered a few appetizers, and we ate plenty of the free bread. I took a photo of our food and drinks. We like the avocado eggrolls a lot. Mom had a margarita; I had a soda and my brother a mango smoothie. For our main course, we...

Milkbar Birthday Cake, Cookies and Truffles
A few weeks ago, I was watching the Bake Squad on Netflix. I regularly watch TV shows about food. While watching the show, I got a craving to eat cake.

La Fuente Restaurant in Barcelo Riviera Maya Travel Foodie
Today, I wanted to write a short blog about La Fuente. La Fuente means the fountain. It is a Spanish restaurant in Barcelo. When I say Spanish, I mean from the country of Spain. The first thing I wanted to talk about was the trip to the restaurant. Since it wasn’t in the main hotel, we had to take the bus to go there. Barcelo has a bus that helps you move throughout all the resorts. So, you can make reservations in a restaurant that is not part of the section that you are staying. Those that stay in...
