Roasted chicken footlong with veggies galore please. I love this time of year, not only because it’s the month of love and my anniversary, but also because it’s Subway’s Februany. For the whole month of February you get any regular footlong for 5 dollars. That’s a deal right there folks.

For me it breaks down to 1.25 a meal because I eat 1/4 for lunch and 1/4 for dinner and same tomorrow. That’s a cheap and (for me) pretty filling meal. Not to mention with all the healthy options they have you can watch those calories (or in my case still portion control).

So don’t miss out, treat yourself to a $5.00 regular footlong from Subway through the month of February. Now that I’ve got you singing that song you may as well go it will have you craving it anyways. Off i go to get mine. What is your favorite sandwich from Subway?

*i was not asked to post this. I did it because this, to me, is a deal worth sharing. That is all.

They always say women are hard to understand.  Now, I’ve never claimed to be an expert on my husband when it comes to certain things. I mean really, who can explain this:

Definitely behavior that can’t be explained wouldn’t you say. Okay, seriously, that was Christmas Day and I was lucky enough to catch him playing the Kinect, I knew it would come in handy sometime and it did! There are some things I haven’t quite figured out about my husband though…

• Why he spends months researching something.  Like now it’s motorcycles.  Sure, sure research is great but I think spending months researching something might get boring.  I guess it just goes to show who the responsible one is…him.  Well research away while I buy in a moment of  want.
• Why does he leave dirty clothes in the middle of the bathroom floor, in fact this goes for my oldest son too.  Granted their are times when I don’t have the hamper in there but even when I do somehow those socks end up right in the middle of the bathroom floor.
• Why does he cover himself up with the comforter literally from head to toe with only a little hole for his nose and mouth?  It’s quite adorable but I think I would feel smothered.
• Does shouting at the players during the game really help?  Oh wait, that’s usually me and yes it does

Needless to say there are so many behaviors of his that I am not quite sure what to make of.  However, if he didn’t have those funny and quirky little things, he wouldn’t be the man that swept me off my feet.  One of the things I can understand easily about him and my boys are their appetites.

When it comes time to eat there is no guessing from this wife and momma that whatever is for dinner better be something that can fill them up.  Thankfully Ball Park understands that growing boys and men have appetites and they help us women fill those tummies.  After a long day sometimes this little lady wants a quick meal that can hold up to the appetite of the men in my life.  That’s when I pull out the Ball Park bun-length angus beef franks, cook on our George Foreman grill and slap in a bun.  For the boys (and the princess) it is usually as simple as putting on ketchup or mustard but for myself and my husband we like a little extra something so it’s chili dogs all the way.   Really what is better than a messy chili dog with extra cheese.  It’s a guilty pleasure for taste and for the quiet moments my house has as the men (okay and girls too) dig in.

Sometimes men are definitely easier fed than understood, but if we understood them all the time what fun would that be.  Just make sure to keep them fed so that the misunderstandings can keep coming!  To get a discount on some good food head over to Ball Park’s Facebook and check out their $1.00 off coupon, why not save a little money!

Never judge a restaurant by its name.  Recently I had the chance to dine  at Stinky’s Fish Camp, a new hotspot in the quaint little coastal town of Navarre, Florida.  The name leaves you with a bit of an iffy feeling, though it does spark conversation.  With brunch, lunch, dinner, late night and oysters all which ways to choose from if you are looking for something to eat chances are Stinky’s Fish Camp has it.

After a movie night out with my mom we decided to head over to Stinky’s Fish Camp and see what they had to offer for a little light snacking.  We checked out their dinner menu, they had everything from Po’Boy sandwiches to Ribs, it seems there is something for everyone.  Having eaten a big lunch we were a bit hungry but nothing that would require a full meal so we checked out the appetizer section of the menu. Pardon the darkness, yours truly here forgot to turn the flash on for this photo:

Wedge salad, crawfish pie, fried brie, how is a girl who loves good food supposed to choose?  But choose we did, we ended up with 1/2 a dozen raw oysters, fried green tomatoes, boudin bites and their gumbo.  While we waited they brought us out some crackers with some kind of garlic butter spread.  I am not sure exactly what it is called but it was delicious.

As we waited I really took in the feel of the place and what I noticed was that it would be great for either a date night out or just a casual dinner.  The mood could be romantic due to dim lighting but the decorations of fish and and things of the like make you feel welcome even if you aren’t all decked out, which we were definitely not.  The staff there was extremely on top of things, if it wasn’t our waitress checking on us it was one of the others that were out on the floor.  Anytime one of them would pass by, they would check on us to see if we needed anything.  Drinks stayed refilled, dining needs were always checked and you just felt welcome, they were truly first class “hosts”.  Finally the food arrived and so began the true test of what this restaurant has to offer.  Wonderful staff is great but if the food leaves nothing to be desired a restaurant won’t be going far.

There are no photos of the oysters because really you can’t make a raw oyster look very appealing so I am sparing you guys.  My thoughts on the foods we ordered are:

• Gumbo: It was very smoky tasting, not that it was a bad thing.  When I think of gumbo I don’t really think of smokey flavor.  If you love the taste of smoked chicken, sausage, etc. then chances are you will really enjoy this gumbo.   I just didn’t particularly enjoy a smokey gumbo.
• Fried Green Tomatoes: They were cooked perfectly.  Tasted just the way a fried green tomato should.  The crispy outside wasn’t to crispy you thought it was overcooked nor was it not crispy enough that it tasted soggy, it really was cooked just right.  I did have to add a little salt to mine but that isn’t surprising because too much salt for a normal person seems to always be just right for me.  My mom didn’t have to add any to hers.  The sauces that the fried green tomatoes were laid on was tangy and the perfect compliment to the tomatoes.
• Raw Oysters: Well what really can you say about raw oysters, they tasted like raw oysters should.  I added my lemon, hot sauce and horseradish and ate away.  They were pretty big that several of the oysters I had to break into two parts, so it was like getting double for your money.
• Boudin Bites: My absolute favorite part of our meal (and I love oysters so this is saying a lot).  The boudin bits were cooked to a hush puppy consistency but the middle was soft filled with the boudin mixture.  They came with a decoration of mini salad that had a sweet and tangy dressing.  The boudin bites had a dip that was sweet that when paired really complimented each other.  Though I preferred just to eat them alone because their flavor was just right for my taste buds.

The price for our meal was right around $25 with tip and that included a coffee (with refills), a sweet tea (with refills), three appetizers and 1/2 dozen oysters.  The rest of the dinner menu meals range from about $10-15 (some are a little more depending on market price, some a little less) per person without drinks, appetizers, and desserts.  They do have a good wine menu and speciality mixed drinks as well.

As I said the staff went above and beyond, the food overall was tasty.  While the name Stinky’s Fish Camp may leave little to be desired in your mind, chances are if you take the time to eat there you will be impressed just as I was.  I will definitely be going back to see if their actual meals are as good as the appetizers were.  So, if you are ever down here in my lovely little beach town of Navarre, FL head over and check out Stinky’s Fish Camp.  Tell them Toni sent you!
