Earlier this year we found out my daughter had high cholesterol so we had to make a lot of changes! here's a few things we added to our rotation that she loves.
I see a lot of restaurants that get attention only due to social media and being new. I love that those restaurants are being seen, however not enough “older” restaurants that are great get showcased.
Remember when traveling OTP of Atlanta, some areas have a good mix of foods, and some you’ll realize are heavily culturally focused, which I love!
For Example: Duluth can be heavily Asian focused restaurants, so you’ll want to be in the Gwinnett area for your more authentic Asian dishes. Some areas of Roswell can be more Hispanic foods. Alpharetta is a mixing pot of American and Indian foods(but honestly a bit of everything).
So here’s a small spotlight on a mix of old and new restaurants that taste amazing that hopefully can be a new favorite for you as well! Happy Eating! 🍴
There are an increasing number of brands who offer allergen-free products. These are the ones that are actually GOOD and worth your money, from a girl who was diagnosed with a tree nut allergy at 9 years old and who recently developed a gluten sensitivity in her 20s!

I have issued a formal apology to Trader Joe's. After spending a decade not seeing anything special in TJ's I was intrigued enough to try again. I literally haven't been in at least eight years. I was so wrong and I am so sorry. It was amazing. I am humbled. I will be returning often.

I worked at Starbucks when I was 16 up until I was 18. Two years of making drinks and I still couldn't find a coffee drink that I actually liked. I love refreshers and teas and now that I have a toddler, caffeine is my best friend! I drink energy drinks, but sometimes I need something else to perk me up.The energy drink recommendations are some that I constantly have in my mini-fridge. Flrt is a new favorite of mine. They aren't too sweet, but they aren't oddly bitter like some energy drinks I have tried. Some are cleaner than others, I drink a ton of water throughout the day too!Non-energy drink recommendations are mainly teas/derived from tea or functional sodas. Starbucks refreshers that you can make at home have been a game changer for me. I save money and can make my drink exactly how I like it. Coconut milk, lemonade, water, sparkling water. So many different uses for it. I also love matcha lattes and london fog lattes.

Those who want an awesome kitchen - without all the clutter. There are way too many kitchen tools that you just don't need. These… You do!

Spring has arrived (for those of us living in the Northern Hemisphere anyway). Why not consider planting some of the more exotic (and lesser known) edibles that I've grown (or contemplated growing)?

My family of 3 and 6 fur babies are regulars at Sam's. Not much has ever disappointed me here and it is almost always more cost effective for my family. In the past we only would do the reg membership but we upgraded the last year for the bonus of shipping. (free shipping for orders over $50) Since most items are quite heavy, shipping costs are insane. If you frequently prefer to ship items to your door, I would go for the plus membership. If you prefer to shop in store, I would do the regular membership. Also, in my area gas is almost always significantly cheaper here. The lines are long if you go at peak times, but I often wait anyways because saving money where I can is helpful. I have linked some of my most repurchased items, and I hope it helps you and your family.

So there I was … Where's my fellow coffee lovers? I may not have a discerning palate but I'm not a, “just give me whatever,” type of coffee drinker either, though I will take whatever when that's the only choice; I've survived on Army coffee for big chunks of time after all lol. I love trying new coffees and can tell you what tastes good to me and what doesn't. When available, I will include the tasting notes provided but I really taste the chocolate, raspberry, whatever notes; I just know if I love it, I love it; if I don't, I don't. Here's what makes the cut and some of my favorite coffee toys as well.

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.
These Are The Food I Ate A Child They Played A Very Huge Role In My Upbringing.
