Simple Food. Good Ideas. Great Fun.
I first discovered cherry plums at an international market in Atlanta. These fruits are a literal cross between a cherry and a plum have more of the texture of cherries and are the size of a small variety of plums. The ones I purchased were in the bulk bins, so I got to select the […]
Exhaustion, rain, and a sleeping teenage daughter resulted in us taking advantage of a perk of staying/living in Manhattan, restaurant delivery. We decided to order from a restaurant that we had heard positive things about just a couple of blocks from our hotel in Midtown, Souvlaki GR. Not only was it affordable, but it was also […]
Friday nights are often pizza nights at my house. The end of the week often lends itself to having an easy take-out or eat-in pizza. However, I am also spoiled and very picky about what I think is a review-worthy pizza restaurant. Luckily, I have found one in Northwest Georgia that is very good, the […]
Quoc Huong Banh Mi Fast Food is an unassuming looking restaurant located in a center along the famous Buford Highway in metro Atlanta. Don’t let its small appearance fool you. By at lunchtime, this quick-service eatery is beyond busy. It seems most people are there for the same thing, the Banh Mi sandwiches. Quoc Huong […]
Grandma’s baked custard was one of my favorite foods in childhood. My favorite baked custard was actually a pie, my grandma’s peach custard pie. However, I also loved her plain baked custard as well. Today, I still love baked custard. It is now a favorite comfort food, especially if I am not feeling up to […]
I kind of have a problem. I am kind of obsessed with one of our new discoveries, a wonderful place called Sno Cream in Knoxville, Tennessee. This local “mom and pop” shop is located conveniently close to I-75/40 (perhaps too conveniently located 🙂 ) in the Turkey Creek shopping area of Farragut. I am always […]
What is a person to do when they really want nachos, but they are limiting the carbs they are eating? Well, my husband put on his thinking cap and came up with this super easy, simple “nacho” recipe that uses the mini sweet bell peppers instead of tortilla chips. No, it does not look pretty. […]
The Fisherman’s Crab Deck in Kent Narrows, Maryland has so many of the things I love about eating seafood on the Eastern Shore of Maryland: it is next to the water, has delicious food, and has open-air dining. Even from an interior table, the view of the bay and the boats docked next to the […]
Angel Heath Bar Dessert is a VERY easy dessert that can be made in just a few minutes. Unless you want to make your own angel food cake or caramel sauce, it is just a matter of assembling a few ingredients. While this can be a last minute dessert, it is much better if left […]
I love chickpeas (AKA. garbanzo beans). I love how easy it is to whip up a chickpea salad sandwich on a hot summer day. I also have a soft spot for Arby’s Pecan Chicken Salad that they sell in the summer (Yeah, I know…it is embarrassing to admit). So, I was inspired to make a […]
