Meaty Classes at Pine Street Market
I had the opportunity to attend the Whole Hog Class at Pine Street Market for free in partnership with Culinary Local in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. I learned oh so much from Rusty #knowyourbutcher. #ad Warning: A cut up animal picture is below. If you do not like to see cut up animals, this class is definitely not for you. Â Have you always wondered where various parts of the pig come from? Have you wondered about the process of how bacon is made or pork butt? Did you know that the pork butt actually comes from the shoulder of the pig? I had no clue, but…

Grilled Cheese & Beer Book – National Cheese Lover’s Day
Grilled cheese sandwiches are one of my most favorite things to eat anytime of the year. Why? Simply because I enjoy cheese and I do not discriminate.

Just in time for National Cheese Lover’s Day, January 20th comes, Grilled Cheese & Beer: Recipes for the Finer Things In Life. Ménage à Cinq Ingredients: 3 slices of sourdough bread 2 slices of cheddar cheese 1 slice mozzarella cheese 1 slice of Muenster cheese 1 slice pepper…

5 Reasons to Run to First Watch Cafe
I have received a meal free in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion. #ad Recently I was invited to First Watch to help promote a new coffee program that they have called Project Sunrise. More about that later, but I am so upset that prior to my visit I had not heard of First Watch and after tasting the food, I really could not understand why unless people were trying to keep the place to themselves. A hidden gem in Smyrna, GA (currently 7 total locations in Georgia), only serving breakfast, brunch and lunch and truly they do specialize in the three and they truly do not disappoint. My…

Tracy’s Gourmet Salad Dressing and Marinade Review
As a member of Women of Culinary, I had the opportunity to review Tracy’s Gourmet Dressings and Marinades free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review of the products. #ad For the past 6 years of so, I have been changing up my eating every January and with it includes more salads, but the dressings. They have so much in them that I am better off just doing oil and vinegar and adding my own seasoning, but I get bored with it. With the need for clean salad dressings that have ingredients that you can read, pronounce and actually understand, there are not many in that category that I…

I have had each of these in their “natural” form, but I have got to tell you if you like anyone of these and you are gluten free then you would enjoy what I am about to share with you. I came across an awesome brand that I have not known about until recently and I have covered a good couple of Gluten Free Expos in Atlanta. I have received some spaghetti in each of the forms of protein mentioned above for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. Currently, I am eating differently and starting to more cognizant of what I…

Lovely New 2017 Fall Menu at Twelve Eighty
Thank you Woodruff Arts Center for sponsored me and a guest as a member of Atlanta Food & Lifestyle Blogger Society in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. Downtown Atlanta has many many gems and Twelve Eighty is one of them. I have been to the High Museum which is part of the campus, but did not realize or had heard of Twelve Eighty prior to this event. Hubby and I were waiting for our work day to end so that we can get to the restaurant. You see, we used this as a date night, but on someone else’s dime. Best kind if you ask me:) Arriving about…
