Yardbird Southern Table & Bar | Las Vegas

When Nate and I started planning our trip to Las Vegas we both came across Yardbird Southern Table & Bar on our quest to find delicious places to eat. We always try to make a list of places we want to eat at when we travel but we don’t follow a schedule so we don’t always make it to every single place. We like to feel pretty laid back about what we’re doing and where we wind up. So I was pleasantly surprised that we ended up at one of our top restaurant picks on the first day we arrived in Vegas! I fully expected us to suddenly realize how hangry we were and end up eating at the first place we came across!

I loved the atmosphere in Yardbird. Up front, there is an area with beautiful couches perfect for lounging and enjoying a cocktail or two! And trust me- you’ll want to enjoy one (or several) here. Especially if you like bourbon! Yes, you know we had to find a bourbon bar on our trip! Their specialty bourbon cocktails are fantastic! I got the Blackberry Bourbon Lemonade – Made with Wild Turkey 81 bourbon, blackberry puree, fresh lemon, cardamom & Angostura Bitters. It came in the prettiest mason jar! Nate’s cocktail had a smokey flavor to it and came with a piece of prosciutto in it!…

One thing stuck out in my mind when I took these photos: I am the nerdiest Mom of all time. Hahah. I am totally embracing it, y’all. Give me all the pink accessories, cheesy screen print t-shirts referring to #momlife + #allthecoffee, and comfy skirts. I will take them. Please also actually deliver all of the coffee to me! Side note: You don’t have to be a Mom to enjoy these things. I was definitely this nerdy long before I became one.

These pink eyeglasses from GlassesShop are one of my newest favorite accessories! If you’re in the market for a new pair of glasses I highly recommend ordering from GlassesShop.com. Use CODE GSHOT50 for 50% off eyeglasses and sunglasses + free lenses (excluding sale frames). I normally pick out “safe” glasses that I feel will match everything I own but I was feeling a little adventurous this time! These tortoise glasses frames are subtle but you can definitely see the pink! They’re a perfect match with my new rose gold pink Apple Watch. See, what’d I tell ya – the best accessories for the nerdy mom, right?! …

Tuesday night Nate and I got the chance to go check out BurgerFi’s new summer menu items! We met up with a big group of blogger friends to hang out and sample delicious food together. Definitely the kind of pick me up I needed at the beginning of the week! We got to try their Summer BBQ Burger, Onion Rings, Parmesan + Herb French Fries, a new signature lime soda called “Fi Lime”, AND an amazing waffle + berry custard sandwich desert. Yes, it is all as good as it sounds. The new burger is being released this week and I believe the desert will roll out in early July just in time for 4th of July festivities!…

Nate & I got to try out Hello Fresh a few weeks back and I wanted to share some of my thoughts on it. For anyone who doesn’t know, Hello Fresh is a meal subscription box. You can check out all of their plan options here! The box shows up with all of the food and ingredients that you need to prepare the meals listed inside the box. It comes complete with step by step directions to cook each meal. We chose the family plan because in our experience with meal subscription boxes in the past, the portions have been on the small side. Continue reading to find out what we thought and watch the full meal prep video in which I pronounce things incorrectly and sound like a huge nerd.
