What's your go-to order at a Mexican restaurant? 🌮 Mine is hands down an enchiladas rancheras and a margarita of some form 🤤 @kentuckygirlramblings and @lexfoodguide took me to experience @papislex for the first time (I know...) and it was perfection! Even though I'm an enchilada girl forever, they have habiscus tacos that I can't stop thinking about! It's definitely a must-try. Also... take caution when ordering a margarita pitcher 🤣 good times will be had! #lexeat #papis #mexicanfood #eatlocal #locallex #lexfoodscene #lexfoodie #foodie #feedfeed #lexky #ugc

Brunch is better when you have a cutie like this as your date 🫶🏼 Finally made it out to @hollyhillinn or brunch! And of course, it was 10/10 (I mean, it is a @ouitamichel resturant, I expected nothing less) 💁🏻‍♀️😍 I want to, first, make it very clear that this was hands down the best bloody mary I have ever had. AND it came in a wine glass with a cheese garnish! Brunch is served as 3 courses for only $35! What we ordered: 🥗 Garden Goddess Salad 🥚 Eggs Benedit (YUM) + Ham and Cheese Crepe 🥧 Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie + Chess Pie #lexeats #eatlocal #foodie #food #feedfeed #foodinfluencer #localeats #hollyhillinn #brunch #kythings #farmtotable #kyproud #midwayky

May the Forest be with you ⚡️🌲 Another great year in the books... complete with a camping spot right by the entrance, a crazy storm, scavenger hunts, and onion from Shrek, color matching outfits, and ending with a Sunday so healing and energizing. This place will always be so special to me. Until next year, forest fam 🫶🏼 #ef24 #electricforest #ravefam #edm #musicfestival #summer

✌🏼 out reality... I'm going HOME ⚡️🌲 To spend time with my best friends in the middle of a forest! #vacationmode #outofoffice #ef24 #electricforest

Happy National Bourbon Day! 🥃 Here's some cool things I've gotten to try recently #nationalbourbonday #kybourbon #bourbon #kythings

The perfect little picnic at the park 🧀🧁 Add a picnic to your summer bucket list! #thingstodoinlex #picnic #summer #sweettreats

A farm to table dining experience @barn8restaurant offers a seasonal menu, using sustainable ingredients- all from the garden on-site and neighboring farms. We (of course) checked out the cocktail list first, being completely blown away by the unique ingredients and attention to detail. Cocktails we had:  A Pretty Fungi - Pisco, shiitake mushroom infused sherry, lillet blanc, lemon, egg white, shiso Ume Oh My- Japanese whisky, ume plum, sake, persimmon vinegar, fire bitters  Red Hot Mama - Local agave spirit with habanero + cilantro piquillo, ginger, lime, fresno Garden Gnome - tequila, kiwi, lime, yellow chartreuse, cava  Clear as Day - clarified milk punch, honeysuckle, gin, apple, lemon  Deciding on a meal was hard, because everything sounded amazing! Food we ordered:  Canestri - housemade pasta, mushroom cream sauce, sun dried tomatoes, snap pea, asparagus, lemon, parmigiano  Braised Rabbit Leg - wild rice, nduja, snap peas, golden raisins, dried apricot, sauce piquillo  Lamb Loin Chops - Freedom Run Farm Lamb, curried gregola, mint, parsley   Highly recommend taking a drive out to Goshen, KY for this dining experience! #barn8 #kyproud #farmtotable #eatlocal #foodie #foodinfluencer #ugc #feedfeed #kyfoodie
