It was opening weekend at The 2018 Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival, which runs through May 28th, 2018. We were invited out to preview #FreshEpcot, and are touring you through some of our favorite bites & impactful moments here & on instastories! ↪ . From the new Honey Bee-stro hosted by the National Honey Board: Roasted cauliflower with buckwheat honey carrot puree, wild rice pilaf, asparagus, honey blistered grapes and sunflower brittle. (Veg) (GF) We also tried the Honey-Peach Cobbler Freeze with blueberry vodka, ya, drink that. (Boozy milkshake!) We are looking forward to trying some of the other dishes on a future visit. ↪ . Primavera Kitchen: Frozen Italian Margarita with Limoncello and Tequila. If you like a margarita, try this. If you like lemoncello, try this. If you don't like lemoncello try this! Yum!↪ . The Smokehouse: Beef Brisket Burnt Ends and Smoked Pork Belly Slider with Garlic Sausage, Chorizo & Cheddar fondue and house-made pickle pictured with the frozen Lemonade with Firefly Blackberry Moonshine. ↪ . The most perfect rose at the media reception. Arrangements by @ftdflowers, a festival sponsor, and arranged by local @inbloomflorist. Completely Belle-worthy. 🌹 . A spectacular weather weekend, lucky visitors enjoy blue skies providing the perfect backdrop to the festival. ↪ . One of my favorite spots to visit, the majestic Orchid Garden in Mexico. Orchids blanket the tree trunks a breathtaking 20 feet and higher. ↪ . Foodies & gardeners alike should plan time at Living with the Land, where Disney horticulturalist are cultivating & growing vegetables, herbs & more. This vertical trellis of winter melon was one of the many vegetables used on property. . The Flower & Garden butterfly garden tent under the Monorail with Spaceship Earth. ↪ . Touring the Butterfly Garden, it was delightful to watch kids and adults appreciate the fauna and enchantment of the many butterflies.↪ . We saw no shortage of these flower and garden themed #MickeyEars on people around Epcot and were delighted to find a mini version near the front of the park for kids. ↪ . #hosted #Epcot #wdw #disneyig #epcotflowerandgardenfestival #TCStravel #TasteCookSip (at Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival Fans)

It's all about #FoodieFriday on the @tastecooksip feed & instastories today. This is side by side pours of @Blantons_boubon experienced at the @buffalotracedistillery dinner at @thecapitalgrille Millenia location last night. The back pour is one week Blanton's Bourbon infusion with figs, blackberries and thyme. We compared it against the regular Blanton's pour in the front, both neat and over ice. This is just one of the five spirit pairings experienced at the special #CapitalGrille Millenia dinner, look for the next spirit pairing dinner to be held in October. You'll want to be there!🍸 . . #InstaFood #instadrink #foodie #foooodieee #bourbon #bourbonporn #mixology #foooodieee #instayum #orlandorestaurants #foodstagram #igdaily #foodpics #eater #zipkick #yum #eatingfortheinsta #feedfeed #eeeeeats #nomnom #latergram #thisisorlando #buffalotrace #blantons #TasteCookSip (at The Capital Grille (Mall at Millenia Orlando, FL))

Tamale time! It's 🔥hawt 🔥out but the watermelon agua fresca from @tamale_co cooled us down so we could dive into a plate of their tempting tamales. "El Garden" plate: Black bean tamale (#vegan) and jalapeno & cheese tamale (#vegetarian) with rice and beans kept us going all day. Perfect for a day at one of Orlando's local Farmer's Markets! Catch them today until 4 p.m. at the Orlando Farmer's Market, Monday nights at the Audubon Park Market and Saturday mornings at the Winter Park Farmer's Market.🍴 . . #InstaFood #OrlandoFood #Orlandoeats #igers_orlando #foodie #instayum #foodstagram #foodgasm #foodpics #igdaily #beautifulcuisines #tamale #foodtruck #foodietribe #zipkick #foodbeast #forkyeah #yum #eatingfortheinsta #foodphotography #feedfeed #eeeeeats #nomnom #thisisorlando #latergram  #TamaleCo #WeLoveTamale #TasteCookSip (at Orlando Farmers Market)
