It is the month of love, and we are celebrating by telling you about everything we love! We are always supporting local businesses. There are many in the Birmingham area that we love, but we want to share a few that we know you will love too! 

Food

The Birmingham area is rich in food choices. There is a type of food for everyone in Birmingham, and we are here to help you make the right decision! 

Ashley Mac’s

If you live in the Birmingham area and have not tried Ashley Mac’s you are missing out on a great meal! It tends to be more female-oriented, but the food is amazing. They have some of the best chicken salad in the south, and their strawberry cupcakes are to die for. 

Cookie Fix

Our entire team loves Cookie Fix. We frequently visit after a long office day or as a treat. Our team members who live out of town are always jealous when we send pictures at cookie fix. They often request it as their dessert when they are in town for a special occasion. If you are a cookie lover, Cookie Fix will not disappoint.
