These are some of my favorite vegan restaurants that I highly recommend. I have tried them and absolutely love the alternatives that they provide.

If you are skeptical about vegan alternatives or just looking for great places to eat, this is the list for you. You can follow my instagram for more vegan content and info :) Hope this helps and enjoy!

Let's just get this first part out of the way. I am not a chef. I am not a baker. But I LOVE food and fall is my favorite season. Therefore, I tend to cook more in the fall. I love all of the spices and pumpkin flavoring, the warm soups on a chilly day, and the fluffy muffins for an after school snack. I tend to cook the same recipes over and over, so I decided to start trying some new ones. Here are some that I have found are easy, cheap, and full of flavor! Happy Fall Y'all!!!!

Unpopular Opinion: Starbucks is overrated, and whereas I love Barnes and Nobles for its convenience to various communities, its chain retail atmosphere doesn't have the cozy vibes I look for in a bookstore. If you are in the Decatur area, which is just East of Atlanta via MARTA, I have a bunch of recommendations for places that might be giving the vibes you're looking for and are small local businesses that deserve a chance to make an impression on you!

We got into pour overs and grinding fresh beans when I worked at a local coffee shop that roasted their own beans. We use 25g of beans per 400g of water for the perfect cup! If you’re just starting out, there’s lots of great recipes online for different pour over methods! Always use beans that have been roasted within the last 2-4 weeks for the best flavor extraction! If your beans are older don’t toss them, older beans are perfect for cold brew!

My favourite high protein M&S finds as someone navigating life after gastric sleeve surgery 👀
Tiny portions, easy protein wins, quick meals for when you can’t be bothered to cook, and realistic food swaps that don’t taste like punishment.
I’ll keep adding to this whenever I find something worth trying because apparently M&S has quietly become the bariatric girlie supermarket and I wasn’t prepared for it 😂
I’m widowed, and my daughter is grown, but I still love to cook and want my meals to be not only tasty but also aesthetically pleasing. However, after becoming an empty nester, I found it increasingly challenging to prepare appetizing meals in smaller portions. When I searched for ways to prepare meals for myself, I was disappointed to find that many of the recipes on the web were quite tasteless, and inaccurately documented recipes were abundant as well. Determined to create a repertoire of individually portioned meals that were easy to prepare and appetizing, I set out to do so. This list includes recipes that I have tried and found to be delicious, as well as other ideas, tools, and small appliances that contribute to making a table for one easier, tasteful, and more beautiful.
Homemade Bread Night: Recipe + Everything I Use
Cozy Crusty Bread Recipe⬇️
Ingredients:
• 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp pink Himalayan salt
• 1 ¾ cups warm water
• 1 tsp sugar
• 2 ½ cups flour (additional for dough)
• 2 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
• Olive oil (for pan + drizzle)
• Flaky sea salt (for topping)
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 10 minutes until bubbly (this means your yeast is active!).
2. Add the flour and salt to the bowl. Mix until smooth and combined. I used a stand mixer with a dough hook, but you can mix by hand too.
3. Cover the bowl and place in a warm, dark spot for 1 hour. The dough should double in size.
4. Drizzle olive oil in your loaf pan and spread a little on top of the dough before baking. Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the top.
5. Bake at 400°F, covered, for 30 minutes. Then uncover and bake for another 20 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing (if you can wait that long). The crust? Chef’s kiss. Crusty, golden, and perfect with butter or soup.
I believe small-batch makers are the heartbeat of a healthier food system. My focus is on supporting locally sourced, sustainable brands that put people, communities, and real ingredients first. By championing independent vendors, we help keep dollars in local economies, reduce wasteful supply chains, and fuel the creativity that big manufacturing can’t replicate. Every product featured comes from a business that cares about quality, craft, and community impact - not mass production. This holiday season, choosing small isn’t just a purchase - it’s a vote for better food, fairer practices, and a future where local makers can thrive. When we shop small, we’re not just giving gifts. We’re giving support, opportunity, and momentum to the entrepreneurs building something meaningful.
I have been trying to stay away from soy since I never feel great when I eat/process it, so I have made a point of trying to find the best alternate options out there that were available in most grocery stores or at least Amazon. These products taste good and for the most part have limited ingredients, so just know that just because you might have to give up some of your favorite foods, you can still find great substitutions. Hope you enjoy!
