So Monday night is bowling night in our house. We are a member of an alumni association league in the fall and spring, and then just play for fun on Mondays in the “off season”. In Riche’s old single days, that meant Taco Bell for dinner. Not being a TB fan myself, I’ve attempted […]
Let me preface this entire post by first saying, with absolute full disclosure, that the owners of Saltyard (Kristy-Jones Favalli and Christian Favalli) are very dear friends of our family. You may know the Favalli name from the the longstanding Atlanta restaurant, La Grotta Ristorante Italiano. Christian and his wife Kristy, opened their own restaurant […]
I’m working on the restaurant review for our fabulous dinner at Saltyard Saturday evening, but in the meantime, I thought I would share the yummy dinner I prepared for our weekly Sunday family dinner night with my parents. Riche started this great tradition, and it’s one that we look forward to every Sunday evening. This […]
Who is stopping by a farmers market this weekend? If you happen to buy some fresh strawberries, I have a tried and true recipe for the perfect dessert to compliment your dinner. I’ve also made these for baby showers – strawberries for girls, blueberries for boys (and they never disappoint!) This is a perfect choice […]
Rum, how it started the American Revolution and other interesting facts. Plus the recipe to make one of the most refreshing cocktails ever: The Anejo Highball. This is simply a great mixed drink, especially for summer or anytime you want a taste of the Caribbean.
What’s that old adage? Real men don’t eat quiche? Well why not? It’s not just for “lunching ladies” anymore. Especially when you can eat a yummy apple and gouda cheese sausage quiche with carmelized onions. To really class it up, why don’t we add a salad frisée with bacon-shallot vinaigrette dressing and poached egg […]
In keeping with the Mexican food and fresh farmers market ingredient themes, I thought I’d share another favorite Mexican inspired dish. I also hate to waste food and since you might have some leftover tortillas from the chimichanga recipe, this is a great way to use them up as the recipe as written below […]
I LOVE Mexican food. LOVE! I also love to try and eat healthy and there the roads shall meet. Does that sound like a difficult undertaking? Not at all! I embrace the challenge of finding healthy alternatives and this is one of my favorites! (and one of my Dad’s favorites too by the way…) There’s […]
(Photo courtesy of watershedrestaurant.com) The southern belle crew (Riche and a dear friend Sara) decided to hit the town on Friday night and try a “new to us” restaurant that has been getting lots of great press. Watershed on Peachtree (originally located in a converted gas station in Decatur) was the location for our dining […]
(my Georgia Peach Pie) “The First Law of Pies: ‘No Pastry, No Pie.” ― Janet Clarkson, Pie: A Global History Growing up, I watched the amazing women in my life (my Mom and both Grandma’s) turn a kitchen into a magic wonderland. They would take simple ingredients and turn them into beautiful dishes creating a […]
