Four for the Weekend 1.20.2017 through 1.22.2017

Last year I started doing Facebook Live videos letting you know my picks for the top four spots you should check out, our Four For the Weekend series. I have been a little unwell for the last three weeks, but I am back and so is the series. In order to make sure that no one misses a bite, I thought I should start cross posting – so here we are! I hope you find it helpful!

Wondering what you should be doing this weekend? I have four delicious and delightful suggestions!
