Atlanta is my home now
I am a proud transplant from Michigan, the “D” in particular and very proud of it, but have found a new love, Atlanta. There was a time in which you would be able to listen to me and tell that I was not from Atlanta, but not so much anymore. In fact, people say that also about my hubby which is awesome. Atlanta is a great place and I do not mind being associated with it. Atlanta is my home now One of the things that I love from Michigan are the great professional sports teams that they have there and the great inexpensive food choices. I found after moving…

Marietta Square Gem Piastra
Marietta Square Gem Piastra On a beautiful Tuesday night in the Marietta Square I was able to take part in a wonderful wine and food pairing. In the heart of the Marietta Square, Piastra Restaurant is one of those hidden gems. I have been to the Marietta Square many times and have never been to the restaurant until that day thanks to Culinary Local. I felt that I was a VIP with all of the participants of the Italian Varietal Dinner were in a separate room off to the back. I met Chef Greg and the representative from Cliffhanger Wines and they both are/were a wealth of information. Chef…

Downtown Decatur Food Tours Experience
What better way to explore Decatur Georgia than on a beautiful Saturday. The sun was out and everyone was greeted by our wonderful engaging and beautiful tour guide Tracy. Guests were not bored in the least. There was plenty of great eats and rich history which now I understand why they say “Decatur, where it’s Greater!!” I received a free ticket as a member of Culinary Local to write an honest and unbiased review. Downtown Decatur Food Tours Experience 1st stop was at Taiyo Ramen and this was one of the highlights by far: steamed pork belly bun. Incredible!! I would have eaten at least 5 of these and enjoyed…

But in the meantime, one of my staple quick and easy lunches is chicken salad whether it is put on my favorite bun or on a bed of lettuce it is quick and easy and tastes good. I can put whatever ingredients I chose to put in it and make it unique. Now usually canned meat is what I would use and this time is no different, however after being given a chance to try Keystone Meats for free in exchange for my…

Delicious Gluten Free Desserts from Inspired by happiness #ValentinesDayGiftGuide
Delicious gluten-free desserts are not always easy to find. I am not, at least not yet, completely gluten-free, however there was a time last year that I attempted to go gluten-free as part of a cleanse that I was completing for our Hale Fertility Challenge ⇒ here. It was just a touch of what those who are gluten-free go through and it was not that easy of a road. Currently, I am reducing the amount of sugar in my life which is awesome, but, while doing the gluten-free stint, I noticed that there are not many pre-made gluten-free dessert options, so when Inspired by Happiness sent me some sample gluten-free desserts I…

Sunny Anderson Snack Stadium
Sunny Anderson Snack Stadium To be honest, I am not a big football fan, however I am a fan of the snacks, commercials and fellowship.
