🍛 Homemade Curry Chicken Night 🥥✨

There’s something about a big pot of homemade curry simmering away that just makes the whole house smell AMAZING. 😋

Tonight’s bowl was loaded with tender chicken thighs, baby potatoes, carrots, coconut water, coconut cream, chicken broth, and plenty of warm curry seasonings — all cooked together until that chicken was fall-apart tender and the sauce was rich and flavorful. 🤤

Served over fluffy white rice so it could soak up every last drop of that curry goodness. 🍚❤️

Definitely one of those comfort-food, go-back-for-seconds kind of dinners!

👇 Curry lovers — what’s one ingredient you ALWAYS put in your curry? And are you Team Rice 🍚 or Team Roti/Naan 🫓?

🌴 SWIRL EATS & SIPS — FOOD TRUCK FIND! 🦜🍍

We had a little taste of Fort Myers roll into Port Charlotte! 🚚🌴 Samara’s food truck stopped by our area, so of course I had to give it a try for Swirl Eats & Sips by Sheryl — Gulf Coast Living.

And can we talk about this truck first?! 😍 The tropical mural and that gorgeous macaw definitely caught my eye.

🍗 I went with the Jerk grilled chicken topped with a fresh pineapple-style salsa, served with rice, slaw and those beautiful pickled red onions. The combination of the savory grilled chicken with the sweet, tangy fruit topping was SO good. Not to Spicy Just Right!

🍌 And those fried plantains… golden, one of my favorite parts of the plate!

I love when a food truck brings something a little different to the neighborhood, especially when it comes from another part of our Southwest Florida food scene. 🌴

⭐ Swirl verdict: Colorful, flavorful and definitely a fun Fort Myers-area find to have roll through Port Charlotte!

💬 YOUR TURN: Are you a pineapple-on-your-chicken person? 🍍🍗 And what food truck around Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, Fort Myers or Sarasota should I hunt down and review next? Drop the name below! 👇

💚☕
Sipping our way through
Punta Gorda…

Stopped into Downtown Kava at the Historic Punta Gorda Train Depot and told her to get creative with my matcha — and she understood the assignment. 😂💚

She made me an iced lavender matcha with milk + an espresso shot, and it was DELICIOUS.

She accidentally forgot my espresso the first time, so she made me another one on the house. Two matchas?
I wasn't complaining. 😂

Then we tried their GIMME S’MORE 🍫🔥 — chocolate, vanilla, toasted marshmallow, almond creamer and graham crackers, finished with a freshly toasted marshmallow on top.

Tims came out literally flaming!
Such a fun little Punta Gorda find with a cool atmosphere, creative drinks and a whole lot more on the menu I want to try.

What should I order next time? 👀☕

🥯 Fresh-baked focaccia, quality ingredients, and a sandwich worth talking about.

I stopped by this Sarasota gem on Bee Ridge and tried the sliced prime rib on their everything focaccia. I added the sun-dried tomatoes (because I can't resist 🍅), and they were a great addition.

The first thing I noticed was how fresh everything tasted. The ingredients were high quality, the focaccia was soft, fresh, and baked in-house, and the prime rib was tender.

Next time, I'd add grilled onions for a little extra flavor. They served it with aioli, but I'm just not a sauce person, so I skipped it.

The restaurant itself was adorable—clean, bright, and very tidy. You can even see the fresh bread being made, which is always a plus in my book.

The prices are definitely on the higher side, but I'm a firm believer that you usually get what you pay for.

Fresh, quality ingredients aren't cheap, and it shows in the food🌱

The only thing that caught me off guard was being charged extra for the sun-dried tomatoes, but that's just something to keep in mind when ordering. *Sandwich originally came with egg & cheese*
Which I dont like on a sandwich👍

Overall, I'd happily go back and try a few more sandwiches.

I have a feeling this place is going to become one of my Sarasota lunch stops.
