Whiskey Cake Kitchen and Bar Plano TX

Whiskey Cake Kitchen and Bar

Gina and I were driving back from an appointment up north the other evening. We were tired and didn’t feel like cooking. Rather than the same old places, Gina suggested we try Whiskey Cake.

Located in Plano, Texas on the west side of the North Dallas Tollway, Whiskey Cake is named after their signature dessert. The have a full-service bar and a wonderful patio area complete with fireplaces and swings.

Their claim to local fame is that almost everything is made from scratch. They even grow their own herbs on-site!  Gina had the Mesquite Grill Redfish and I tried the Old Fashioned Hamburger. Wow! Great food.  We washed it down with a couple of Jack and Cokes (it is Tennessee whiskey afterall).

We sampled the Whiskey Cake for dessert. Made from scratch and real whipped cream on top…yummy! 

Next time you’re looking for something a little different, drop by Whiskey Cake.

A Walk on the Wild Side

Spring in Texas is wonderful. The early spring rains give way to fields of Bluebonnets, Indian Paintbrushes, and Buttercups.

I was out shooting photos of a new listing in Wylie, Texas the other afternoon. It’s a pretty home located on a huge creek lot and the back of the lot was alive with spring color. I wanted to frame in the home with the wild flowers, so I worked my way down towards the creek.

As I knelt in the grass, I noted tiny grasshoppers, honey bees, and a praying mantis busy working in the flowers. I stopped what I was doing and put a longer lens on my Nikon so I could capture some of the color and wildlife.

Tiny Grasshopper in the Wildflowers

Sometimes it pays to stop and admire nature’s beauty.

CB JENI Homes Even More Energy Efficient

The Enclaves at Willowcrest

CB JENI Homes has begun to install LP TechShield Radiant Barrier and GreenFiber Insulation in their new construction townhomes at The Enclaves at Willowcrest.

LP TechShield Radiant Barrier is the number 1 radiant barrier brand in the country and prevents  97 percent of the sun’s heat from entering in the attic. This reduces attic temperatures by up to 30 degrees in the summer. In winter, it reflects the heat from the house back into the attic. Tests show it can result in a 17 percent savings on energy costs.

GreenFiber insulation provider a high R-value per inch. The insulation fills in the tiny cavities and surrounds plumbing and electrical wiring. It fills gaps where energy can escape and reduces air infiltration. GreenFiber Insulation achieves a 26 percent increase in overall energy efficiency according to a study conducted by the University of Colorado.

CB JENI Homes also uses 16 SEER Air Conditioning to further reduce costs in the hot Texas summers.

Come out a take a look at the new construction townhomes at The Enclaves at Willowcrest.
