I've lived in Atlanta for 10 years and the suburbs around Atlanta before that! So as a 28 year old , here is my list of all of my favorite things the city has to offer.

It’s Sundayyyy night!! Time for football games, family and friends, good food/ snacks, and yelling at the TV!

I'm a Nigerian and I made this list especially to show you the beauty of my country despite the chaos. My country is beautiful. You know that saying that goes, "There's ALWAYS A SILVER LINING IN A CLOUD" or something like that 😂❤️. I mean, we have a beautiful culture, and some places in Nigeria are actually beautiful, not the ugly places they snap and say we're poor, so I want to show you the beauty of Nigeria. Another thing I love about my country is our different accents even as a country, as Nigerians we don't usually have the same accent mostly because of our tribe, what I'm saying is this, the tongue or the way an Igbo person speaks is different from the way a Yoruba person speaks

That bear-shaped bottle from the supermarket? Turns out it was mostly corn syrup and disappointment. After my allergist suggested local raw honey for seasonal sniffles, I fell down a rabbit hole of small batch beekeepers who actually care about what ends up in the jar. If you're tired of mystery honey and want to taste the difference real flowers make, this took me two years of sampling so you don't have to.

Living in the Queen City, there's plenty to do for all walks of life!

Life is busy, just because you are gluten free doesn't mean you have time to cook from scratch all the time! Look at my list of prepared meals! #glutenfree #food

I would consider myself a pistachio lover to the CORE, since i was raving about it before all Dubai chocolate hype. Therefore i conducted a list of all thing pistachio i could find in Belgrade. Hope this helps my fellow pistachio lovers!

In addition to enjoying cooking, I am also enjoying trying other people's food. I'm constantly trying out new restaurants, so I would recommend some if you find yourself in Belgrade.

Local Coffee in Bandung is unbeatable 😎

Every time you open the lid to check temperature, you lose 50 degrees and add ten minutes to your cook. If you've ever served chicken that's raw in the middle or brisket that turned into shoe leather because you couldn't stop peeking, this lineup is what fixed all of that for me. Took me two summers and a lot of ruined meat to land on gear that actually works.

Pumpkin loaves are a cute thing to bake and give as gifts during the fall and winter holidays. This recipe is one that I developed myself, so I can promise that it's good.

Simple coffee recipe to make at home: Grab any glass jar / cup Add 2 tablespoons of Nescafé gold espresso 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar Add a tiny pit of water & mix Add Ice Add milk of choice Top off with creamer of choice Mix & enjoy

Bone broth (stock) can be used instead of water in recipes. Use it to cook mashed potatoes, quinoa, cornbread, and beans. Bone broth is rich in minerals, particularly zinc and magnesium, which are vital for a strong immune system. The collagen in bone broth also promotes skin elasticity, hydration, and overall health.

Peeling mangled eggs at 6 AM because you tried boiling them on the stove again?

Atlanta is a great place to visit! But it can be expensive and as we all know from recent TikTok controversy, the restaurant culture isn't the best. So, don't limit yourself to Atlanta! There are so many great places in the metro Atlanta area, especially in the north. Head 15 minutes north to Doraville or 25 minutes north to Duluth or 20 minutes northwest to Alpharetta for great Asian eats! These places are my tried and true, go to over and over again places :)

I love trying out new restaurants as often as I can. in all the times and places I've hopped around the world, there are certain spots which made me sit back and really reflect on cooking and food as a whole, because I'm so fascinated by the flavor combinations, techniques, or food culture.

Peeling hard boiled eggs used to ruin my morning. Shells stuck everywhere, whites tore apart, and half the egg ended up in the trash. If you meal prep eggs weekly or just want a clean peel without standing at the sink cursing, this is everything I use to cook, peel, store, and actually enjoy eggs without the frustration. Took me way too many wasted cartons to figure this out.

South Florida is full of restaurants with tons of reviews. While the focus for tourist may be Miami, Let me share some hidden gems right here Broward County!

Eating sad desk lunches because you never have time to prep anything decent? Same. I was spending $12 a day on smoothie bar runs until I started blending at my desk during lunch. Took me five blenders and a noise complaint to figure out the right setup. Here's everything that actually works for office smoothie-making, from the blender itself to containers that won't leak in your work bag.

Okay girl, I got you—here are some less touristy spots around Nashville that are super delicious + diverse. These are gems local folks swear by 😋 from this cali girl’s persepective

As a West Indian, we love spicy and well seasoned foods! Here are my go to’s

Every December I'd spend hours baking cookies that came out looking like a toddler made them. Snowflakes that looked like blobs, icing that ran everywhere, and sugar cookies flatter than cardboard. After three holiday seasons of embarrassing cookie trays, I finally nailed down the exact tools that made people ask if I ordered from a bakery. Grab these before the holiday rush cleans out inventory.

These are on my go-to list for snacking. Most of the items are from Sam's Club cause this mom is on a budget. If they don't sell it at Sam's, I'm likely not buying

Tired of cracking open an egg only to find a runny center when you wanted hard boiled? Or worse, that sad gray-green ring from overcooking? If you cook eggs more than twice a week and you're still guessing doneness by shaking them or setting phone alarms, this lineup took me way too long to put together. Stop wasting eggs and grab what actually works.

My hubby always says. More espresso less depresso! On a serious note I have been adoring making my little coffee corner aesthetic and cute! 🤍

I’ve lived in South Central Kentucky my whole life and I’ve been exploring this state’s food scene long before “farm to table” was a hashtag. 🙌 The Bluegrass and Bourbon Trail region is seriously underrated — and if you’re only stopping here for the bourbon (which, fair 😂), you are leaving so much on the table. Literally. I make regular trips up for great meals, wine tastings, outdoor theater, vintage shopping, and anything else that sounds like a good time on a random weekend — and over the years I’ve found some hidden gems, the locals-only favorites, and the spots worth driving an hour for. These aren’t chain restaurants or tourist traps. These are the places where the food is made with care, the service feels like family, and half the ingredients probably came from a farm down the road. If you’re planning a Bourbon Trail weekend, a girls trip on Lake Cumberland, or just a Kentucky road trip and want to eat WELL — save this list. You’re welcome in advance. 😄 What you’ll find here: • ✅ Locally owned restaurants worth the drive • ✅ Farm-to-table and locally sourced favorites • ✅ Hidden gems the tourists haven’t found yet • ✅ Perfect stops before or after bourbon distillery visits • ✅ Updated regularly as I discover new favorites Know a spot I need to try? Drop it in the comments — a lifelong Kentuckian is always on the hunt for the next great meal.

Times are tough right now. If you're a SNAP recipient like me, you might be going crazy wondering how you're going to eat. First off, don't panic, it burns too much energy and you're gonna need that for cooking LOL Also don't forget your sense of humor when the world is absurd and cruel. If you have the storage space and club membership, Sam's Club is great for bulk items like dry goods. Aldi is where I suggest for fresh fruits and vegetables since they're the cheapest I've found so far. I'm separating this list into food categories. If anyone needs some recipes, let me know and I can make some new lists. I hope everyone struggling with food insecurity right now knows you're not alone. Don't be ashamed if you need to go to a food pantry either, we all need support sometimes. If you text your zip code to (785)503-3310 you will be sent a list of foodbanks near you. Best of luck, everyone! You matter and you deserve to eat, always

This is a very passionate subject for me. Dyes have significant negative effect on me. And dye free is hard in the United States. Let me say that again. DYE FREE IS HARD in the United States. But the following are products that I found that taste delicious and a little easier to be healthy.

Spent way too long trying to get more greens into my family's diet without hearing complaints about the taste or color. If you're blending smoothies every morning and wondering how to pack in more nutrients without turning it into a swamp-water situation — this is everything I tested over six months so you can skip the trial and error.

I found a bunch of them and I can't wait to try them out. What could possibly be cozier than a night with gamer friends trying out your favorite recipes from the games you love?

You spent two hours piping buttercream rosettes and then watched them smear against a foil-covered cookie sheet in the backseat of your car. I've been that person at the bake sale with lopsided cupcakes one too many times. This whole list is for the home baker who transports baked goods more than once a month and is tired of improvising with toothpicks and plastic wrap. Took me three school years and a lot of wasted frosting to land on gear that actually works.

This list is meant for anyone in the Honolulu area, but I plan to make more of these lists for other cities so stay tuned!
