Lula Jane’s, Take Two

Posted on November 23, 2014 by Lanie Fioretti

When I was shopping in Waco last week, I just had to stop a Lula Jane’s for lunch. This time it was Ricotta Grits with Tomato Sauce, Wilted Spinach, and Applewood Smoked Bacon.  Fresh, local, and really good ingredients don’t get any better than this.

Posted on October 14, 2014February 23, 2015 by Lanie Fioretti

Our go-to place in Gatesville is the Feed Mill.  Their menu has gotten pretty impressive, and their food is consistently good.  If you’ve never been, you need to look up where it is, because it’s not a place you just happen upon.
