@hiddenvalleyorchards is my new fav weekend destination! There is so much to see, EAT and do!!! Let me run down the list: 

🥮 BIG BARN BUNS - available for $7 Thurs-Sun - seasonal flavors! I tried the Lemon Blueberry & Raspberry Cookie Butter - WOW! So soft and tasty and HUGE!!!! 
🍩 Bakery Specials - the bakery inside is so cute and they have weekend specials! 
🛍️ Shop - they have everything you could think of in their shop - local honey, jams, salsa (black bean & corn!! I can never find it), mixes, aprons, cooking gear and more! 
🥂 Sparkling Cider - you can get apple cider but now they have Sparkling Cider! It was very tasty! 
🍻 Bar - they have a full service bar - we got a Thelma & Louise which was the cider mixed with Blackberry Wine - I could put that down daily!
🤸🏻‍♂️ Play Areas - they have so many play areas for kids (and adults) - there is most definitely something for all ages
🌳 Gardens - they are just getting started but it’s so beautiful outside
🔥Firepits & Benches - if you just want to have a drink with friends and enjoy the outdoors - this is a great destination! We’ve played Singo outside as well!
🏞️ Walk to the Waterfall - there’s a short walk to a pretty waterfall 
🐮 Animals - they have a bunch of baby animals and you can even sign up for bottle feedings! I decided I now need a baby lamb! 
🍔 Restaurants - they have 3 kitchens on site - so no matter which way you go - you’re going to find something good to eat (that burger was soooo good!) 

I’m already planning on stopping back Sunday for more of those Big Barn Buns - but go early before they run out! Oh and they make fresh peanut butter on site! 

Hidden Valley Orchards in Lebanon is worth the drive - thanks to HVO for letting me sample all the goodies and take home a few more! (The salsa is half gone already!)

Hot take: the coleslaw is better than the chicken 😏
This Copycat KFC Coleslaw is crunchy, creamy and ridiculously close to the real thing — don’t be surprised when it disappears first!

If you’re debating whether excursions are worth it…
THIS is your sign 🌴🚢
Easily my favorite part of the whole trip. 

You can find this excursion on @Viator in Cozumel - the name is: Traditional Family Kitchen in Cozumel

We took a taxi from the port to the market - it was a 10 minute ride. DONT WALK. The market was very "rustic" but we definitely felt safe (only mentioning cuz it's been #1 question). One lady on the airport bus looked at me like I had 5 heads when I was telling her about the excursion. I was safe and the food was DELICIOUS! 

My girl @taniamartinezcamacho was the best host and chef - she made so much food and was so sweet. She even sent us the recipes after it was over!

I did a SOLO CRUISE on the @norwegiancruiseline Joy out of Port Canaveral to Cozumel! Here are my quick thoughts: 

- SO MUCH FUN! This was my first solo cruise and I loved it!!!
- EARL! He was on the entertainment team and led the solo cruiser group and was a great friend on the cruise and made all of us feel like our own little family!
- Food - I ate my face off! Le Bistro was the best by far! Splurge for it! 
- Great Balance - you could party and dance when you wanted to and then chill when you wanted to - there was plenty of room to do both!
- Cozumel - wait til you see the excursion I did! (coming soon) 
- Vibe Beach Pass - worth it on sunny days - no chair hogs and great staff 
- Entertainment - meh the shows were like American Idol on a bad night

All in all - would I solo cruise again? YES!
Would I cruise Norwegian again? YES!!! 

I like Norwegian - Carnival was too much party. Celebrity was too old. Norwegian was just right - and they have the solo cabins so you don't have to pay double occupancy!

This is the cruise room everyone asks about 👀🚢
Would you stay here for a full week or is this a hard pass?
More cruise content coming next.

Friends of Food Hussy know - my nails are important to me. I started because I used to pick at my nails but my hands are in my pictures and videos as I'm cooking. Someone said - get them done - it'll stop the habit. It did - but it started a whole new habit. Poor @glitterati45150 - every other Monday - she has to say "Oh Lord - what is it today?"

Making a charcuterie board is easier than you think! I did this beautiful board in about 15 minutes! Get yourself crackers, meats, cheeses, fruits, nuts, chocolate and a little jam. I went to Aldi and got most everything. 

Comment SEND RECIPE to get a DM with all the info you need to build your own board for the holiday!!
