I have always enjoyed being in the kitchen baking and making unique dishes. Over the last few years or so, my kids and I have looked more at what we put into our bodies and have tried to make healthier choices. We also like to make new creations in the healthiest ways. Here are a few things we like and recommend you give them a try!

As an oyster aficionado, I'm always on the lookout for new spots for delicious oysters and other inique oyster related things. If you have some that are not on my list, pls share!

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! 🍴
