Dining Out

Over the years, my husband and I have enjoyed going to Juban’s for date nights, especially for special occasions like anniversaries and birthdays. We loved the old-school feel and the classic cajun go-to's: their gumbo is one of our favorites in town with a perfect dark roux! We also thought it was a great location for several business functions we attended for my husband’s work. Needless to say, I was really bummed when I saw Juban’s was closing last year then pleasantly surprised when it was because of renovations and a re-opening just a few weeks ago. When our friends from out of town were coming to visit, I knew we had to try out Juban’s for a double...

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Rotolo's Pizzeria. Pizza Night at Rotolo's :: Feeding Everybody in the Family Pizza. It may be the most versatile food out there. But not all pizza is created equally. As a working mom (and someone who loves delicious food), pizza is a frequent dinner choice. And when you ask my 7 year old what kind of pizza she wants, the answer is always Rotolo's.  Tonight was no exception, and our family of four met after camp and work for a delicious meal at the Perkins location in Baton Rouge.
