🎒 After-School Hunger Hack 🎒
When your crew bursts through the door starving and you’re tired of tossing them chips or cookies, meet your new snack hero: After School Energy Bites. 💥

Chewy. Nutty. Sweet. Just enough chocolate to keep smiles going — and zero baking required. 🙌

✨ The magic mix:
Oats, peanut butter, honey, crunchy peanuts, mini M&Ms, chocolate chips, a pinch of salt, and a splash of vanilla. That’s it.

🥄 How it works:
Mix → Chill → Roll → Enjoy.
When your crew bursts through the door, starving and you’re tired of tossing them chips or cookies, meet your new snack hero: After School Energy Bites. 💥

🚫 No oven. No mess. No leftovers… probably. 😉

📍Local Eats Spotlight: Galley on the River – Bon Secour River, Foley

Fresh food, river views, and serious flavor? Yes please. This week’s Local Eats Spotlight takes us to Galley on the River, where the portions are generous and the vibes are even better.

Here’s what we tried:
🥨 Pub Pretzel – Warm Bavarian-style soft pretzel served with beer cheese and whole grain mustard. Pro tip: Mix the dips together for the ultimate combo bite. ($10)

🍤 Fried Shrimp Platter – Crispy golden shrimp, seasoned fries, and a side of cocktail sauce. The shrimp were huge and the fries didn’t last long. ($18)

🍔 King Louie Burger – 8 oz. ground beef patty stacked with Cheddar cheese, candied peppered bacon, onion straws, and house-made tangy BBQ sauce on a brioche bun. Warning: It’s messy. And glorious. Bring a bib. ($18)

Everything was made to order and served hot. Honestly, we’d go back just for the fries. Or the shrimp. Or the pretzel. Or that monster burger. (Okay, we’re already planning round two.)

🍕 Local Eats Spotlight: Vitollis Pizzeria & Italian Eatery
📍 Robertsdale, AL
📆 Serving the community since 2007

This week we’re featuring one of our favorite local spots — Vitolli’s Pizzeria! Locally owned and operated, this gem has been a staple in Robertsdale for over 17 years, serving up made-to-order Italian favorites that never disappoint.

✨ Here’s what we tried — and trust us, you can’t go wrong with any of it:

1️⃣ Stuffed Pizza Slice – $9.99
Double crust stuffed with pepperoni, Italian sausage, ground beef, and mozzarella cheese. Served with a 4oz cup of Vitolli’s marinara.
⭐ Personal Favorite: It’s cheesy, savory, and completely unbeatable.

2️⃣ PizzaGhetti – $12.99
Pasta covered in Vitolli’s signature marinara, topped with mozzarella and pepperoni, then oven baked to perfection.
👧 Our daughter absolutely LOVED this one.

3️⃣ Stromboli – $10.99
A hearty blend of pepperoni, sausage, ground beef, mushrooms, black olives, and mozzarella cheese. Baked golden and served with marinara.
💥 Delicious flavor combo in every bite!

4️⃣ Cheesy Bread – $8.99
Six homemade breadsticks, seasoned, loaded with mozzarella, and baked with a heavenly cheese skirt.
🧀 You need this in your life.

Every dish came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, make time for a meal at Vitolli’s. You won’t regret it!
