Happy Birthday to Cathy and our SSS Review of The Black Bear Bistro

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CATHY
 to the oldest of the three of us!!

We sisters always get together for our birthdays by going out for lunch. This month happens to be Cathy's birthday and she picked the Black Bear Bistro in Warrenton, Virginia. Old Town Warrenton is a quaint little town with lots of charm.


Upon entering the Black Bear Bistro we noticed right away they had a terrace we could eat our lunch on this beautiful fall day. The waitress told us we could chose anywhere we would like to sit and of course, in SSS fashion we sat down, ordered our drinks and then decided to change tables. Our waitress was gracious and said, "by all means sit where you are most comfortable". At this point during the lunch hour, there weren't many people dining, so we had our pick of tables.
We girls decided, after looking at the menu and hearing the special of the day which was a personal pan brick oven pizza with side salad,  that we would pick from their brick oven pizzas. Cathy chose the ALOHA with brick sauce, shredded mozzarella, pineapple and bacon. Rhonda chose the PAISANO with roasted garlic cream sauce, spinach, shredded mozzarella and sautéed onions. I (Kelly) chose the VERDURA with rosemary oil, minced garlic, feta, artichokes, spinach, mushroom, red onion, and basil vinaigrette.

Would you like to hear what we thought about The Black Bear Bistro?? This is our first video so be kind ;)

The BBB also treated Cathy to a dessert of her choice and she chose the Chocolate Cheesecake with Chocolate sauce, Whipped Cream and cherries. Lots of cherries because who can share one cherry??? Not us ;)



If you live in the area, we recommend trying them out if you haven't already. Here's their website

Take a look at the photos we took during our visit to the Black Bear Bistro.






Old Town Warrenton has a Lamp Post contest going on this month. This is one of the lamp posts and I believe Rhonda and Cathy were having too much fun and scared the stuffing out of this straw man!!




Take a stroll downtown Warrenton sometime. It's absolutely beautiful this time of year.

All in all, it was a good day with great food, awesome company and hopefully many more birthdays to celebrate with my sisters.

Until next time friends!!

***UPDATED 1/27/24*** I stumbled upon this Birthday Cake Box for the needy on Pinterest and thought what a fabulous idea.  It’s super quick & easy to make and donate to the food pantry/people in need.  The  Dollar Tree  and  Walmart have the  cake mixes and frosting for just over $1 and lots of paper products and inexpensive party supplies. For just under $10 you can make them for your local shelter or food pantry. Kids get a kick out of helping and it also makes a great service project for scout groups and church ministry groups. Here's what you need to make a Birthday Cake Box: 9x13 Disposable aluminum foil pan with a lid, it's helpful to have the lid for packaging and delivering purposes. 1 box of cake mix, any flavor you like  1 can of lemon-lime soda (in case the recipient doesn’t have eggs or oil) Birthday candles You can add birthday napkins, candles, a banner, etc. Did you know that you can make a delicious cake out of nothing but a box of ...

Product Review of Nature's Nectar Coconut Water

***UPDATED 7/8/23*** Nature's Nectar Pure Coconut Water from ALDI didn't suit our fancy. We all agreed there's way to much sodium taste in the coconut water and as you get older, as we three are, we have to watch our sodium intake. As we taste-tested the water, the decision was it wasn't good to just drink but we did, however, agree that it might make a great addition to making smoothies.  How about making this delicious smoothie:  Ingredients            Coconut water, regular or flavored 2 bananas 2 mangos 1 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen) 1/2 cup Greek yogurt 2 tablespoons honey Directions Fill ice trays with the coconut water and freeze until solid. Place the fruit, honey, and 12 to 14 coconut water-flavored ice cubes into a blender and blend until smooth. Serve immediately. Recipe courtesy Bobby Flay Here's the nutritional ...
