Explore Florida's longest running tourist attraction, and it's not Walt Disney World

2026-01-14

If you're looking for more than just a boat ride, the Jungle Queen River Cruise in Fort Lauderdale delivers a full-blown tropical escape.

This four-hour dinner cruise glides down the New River through Fort Lauderdale to the a "tropical isle."

Floridas longest-running tourist attraction has been entertaining visitors since 1935, and its easy to see why.

A tour guide narrates and points out the sights along the way including mega million-dollar homes and yachts on your way to the private island.

"Once you step off this boat, it feels like youre on a tropical getaway and youre in the middle of Ft. Lauderdale," explains Captain Monica Alvanzian.

The cruise combines a hearty feast with island-style entertainment, culminating in a Polynesian fire dance thats equal parts thrilling and mesmerizing.

And if you're lucky, you might be one of the few picked to join on stage to show off your hula moves.

Broccoli is one of those vegetables I used to grab without giving it much thought. If the bunch looked mostly green and the stalks seemed fine, into the cart it went. But there’s one little detail worth checking before you buy it, and it only takes a few seconds to spot.

Four Ingredients Turn Cornmeal Into Crispy Southern Comfort

Southern hoecakes demonstrate how a few humble ingredients can create something far more memorable than their simplicity suggests. Cornmeal, liquid, egg, and hot fat come together into small cakes with crisp, golden edges and tender centers. The flavor is straightforward and deeply comforting, especially when bacon grease adds its smoky character to the pan. They resemble pancakes in shape but carry the rustic texture and savory corn flavor of skillet cornbread. Each cake develops plenty of browned surface, making those edges the part everyone searches for first. This is old-fashioned cooking built around necessity, thrift, and ingredients that were easy to keep on hand. The result remains valuable today because warm, crisp corn cakes still know how to make a bowl of beans or a plate of vegetables feel like a complete meal.

The Sweet Potatoes Granny Made Before Marshmallows Took Over Everything

Some sweet potatoes don’t need a blanket of marshmallows to earn space on the holiday table. Granny’s version is all about the potatoes themselves, cooked until tender and coated in that glossy, buttery, candied goodness that settles around the edges of the dish. Each bite lands somewhere between a side dish and dessert—soft sweet potatoes, warm sweetness, and a rich sauce that makes you understand why somebody always sneaks an extra spoonful before the platter gets passed. It’s the kind of recipe that looks completely at home beside ham, turkey, dressing, and all the other dishes families expect to see every year.

I found this cake in a church cookbook and never stopped making it
