Arkansas Trip V: Week Two Highlights

My second and final week in Arkansas was pretty uneventful.  Here’s the rundown :)

I spent a relaxing day at home, and then went to dinner with Alex at a cute little place called the Oak Street Bistro.  I had the chicken salad sandwich which was amazing and we shared a piece of Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie that was absolutely to die for (even better since it was free because our food took too long to get there! :))

Alex left me the jeep and I met Alex at HP to hang out for a little while, go eat lunch with he and his coworkers at an awesome home cooking place called Holly’s Country Cooking and then spent the afternoon hanging out at HP.  Then, we went to a pretty little Mexican place called El Parian (there were a TON in Conway) that had the most amazing booths for dinner.

Alex’s to do list for the day…it was so nice to see me on that list :)

Yummy food from Holly’s

I spent the entire day at HP and enjoyed a fabulous lunch at the Fish House with Alex and his coworkers.  Then, I had the bright idea that I wanted to make dinner which is always entertaining!  Luckily for me, my three cheese pasta bake turned out well!! You can find the recipe here…it was amazing! :)

Working hard at HP :)

In a building full of Arkansas fans, I had to make sure they knew who Alex rooted for :)

Finito…believe me, it is as yummy as it looks!

      I even made homemade cheesy garlic bread to go with it.

Note:  Again, I have posted the recipe on my cooking blog, and you can find it here :)

It was finally time for me to leave Arkansas which was a bit bittersweet for me!  I LOVED spending the time with Alex again and getting to see him every day was just amazing, however, I was excited about him coming to spend the weekend with me in Tuscaloosa!

Before he left for work, my sweetie made breakfast and even gave me a new coffee mug to drink the yummy Kona coffee out of.

He knows me too well ;)

Eggs and coffee…yummy way to start our last morning in Arkansas!

As soon as he got off work, we were T-town bound!

It was a great trip, but I was definitely excited to get back!!
