Twelve Eighty – Inspired Dining

What inspires you? Is it Family? Faith? Food? Inspiration can be present itself in just about any form and is unique to the individual seeking its stimulation. As I write this post, I’m inspired by the memory of the night I gathered with members of the Atlanta Food Bloggers’ Society at Twelve Eighty – Inspired Dining...

Kabob Land: A Fast-Casual Taste of the Middle East

You ever wake up on a Sunday morning with plans and a stopwatch? You know..breakfast at 8am, church at 11, late lunch at 2:30 or early dinner at say 3 o’clock? I’m so accustomed to that kind of scheduling during the work week that I had to pause for a bit and just let the day...

Tropical Smoothie Cafe: Review + Giveaway

If you recall the last time you ordered a smoothie, did you think twice about where you would go to get it or even what you would want in it? Well, my recent experience at Tropical Smoothie Café has given me a far greater appreciation for both the quality of the ingredients inside these frozen beverages and the overall consumer experience when we step up to the counter to place our orders.

The Market in Historic Norcross

I’ve driven up and down Buford Hwy hundreds of times and it still amazes me to know that you can discover interesting new dining destinations simply by venturing off onto one of its many neighborhood side streets. A few days ago I intentionally made such a turn in order to locate The Market Norcross, a neighborhood eatery located in the area’s historic district.

Atlanta Downtown Restaurant Week 2014

Yesterday was the start of Downtown Atlanta Restaurant Week, an opportunity for diners to enjoy prix-fixe signature menus at some of the area’s dining hot spots. The menus range in price from $15, $25 and $35 with brunch, lunch and dinner options. I received an invite to attend a social media walking taste tour which included three participating restaurants. As it turns out, a progressive experience like this is a great way to explore the city and its food scene.

Quiche Lorraine & Fresh Fruit

This morning when I walked into the kitchen to prepare a little breakfast I glanced over at a package of bacon and decided to bake a quiche for dinner. Quiche Lorraine is one of my favorite pies. I tend to bake it for breakfast or brunch but recently I’ve gone through some weird change that has...

A Turkey Pastrami Sandwich

I’ve been trying to keep “sandwich stuff” in my pantry and fridge because it’s such a quick lunch or dinner solution. Turkey Pastrami is one of my favorite sandwich meats and this is one of my assemblies… I start with a regular sandwich bun, then toast it on a griddle. While it’s browning I mix a...

1st Saturdays

On the first Saturday of each month, some of the ladies in my family gather together to share brunch and some great conversations. At each gathering we typically decide who will host the next event and the hostess chooses a theme around which to plan the meal. This year we skipped our brunch in January...
