Crafty to-go boxes

I absolutely love these to-go boxes available at Casseroles (ps - this to-go Casserole place is big-time on my hit list!) and Sawicki's Meat, Seafood & More in Decatur. These containers ($14-$28) are stamped "comfort food", "give thanks", or "midnight snack," also come with waxed tissue, twine and tags. For those of you who are not in the area - you can contact widdi@lovetogoboxes.com and she will work out a way to get them to you!

Trampoline Dodgeball at an Indoor Trampoline Park

SkyZone Indoor Trampoline Park in Suwanee opens late next week and is the world's first all-trampoline, walled playing courts. You can go to a 2 hour open jump session, host a birthday party, enlist in Sky aerobics or even enroll in 3D dodgeball.

You can jump in on daily pick up games, join a league, or enter in a cash tournament. OTP - but sounds like it might be worth the trip!

my favorite #pumpkin bread recipe

2011-11-09T11:00:00.000-05:00

I've been blessed with the opportunity to take some time off from work lately (aka in-between jobs) and let me tell you - it has been magical. I've been able to tackle some of my Pinterest to-do's - I think above all else - crafting, cleaning and cooking are my top de-stressors. I would say my Atlanta food crawls - but sometimes the aftermath of those tend to send me into a guilty frenzy.

During my unemployment stint, I tried my hand at crock pot Mac n' Cheese and Chicken n' Dumplings//Asian Turkey Meatballs//Curried Vegetarian Indian//Rice Krispy Treats//Pumpkin Cream Cheese Crescent Rolls//Homemade Collard Greens//Baked Beans, etc. However, my best creation had to come from this drool-worthy Pumpkin Bread recipe (pictured above with homemade apple cider from Red Apple Barn in Ellijay). It was so tasty and I had so many requests for the recipe that I decided to share it with you. I love that the recipe calls for making two loafs - one to keep and one to give. Wrap up in plastic wrap and tie with yarn. Happy baking - let me know how it turns out!

#apples, #pumpkins, and #pies, oh mi!

2011-11-08T11:00:00.000-05:00

I just love the fall. I love cozying up in my sweaters and boots while enjoying a caramel apple spice. College football, Halloween, Thanksgiving, changing leaves, pumpkin everything, apple everything. So when my friend suggested apple-picking and pumpkin-patching in North Georgia, I was beyond game.

For any of the transplants that read my blog - North Georgia is a must do. NG mountains are beautiful and there is no shortage of camping, zip-lining, hiking, tubing, winery touring, farmers market-ing to be had. Boiled peanut stands on the side of the highway, muscadine wine, freshly baked peach/pecan bread, breathtaking views, Octoberfest in Helen, what's not to love?

On this particular Fall weekend we choose to hit up the Red Apple Barn in Ellijay for apple-picking. You can't throw a rock without hitting a place like this up in Ellijay, you'll pass 20 on the way up. I haven't been to one family-owned farm or farm stand that has done me wrong. We paid $8 to pick our own apples (after a very scenic tractor ride up to the orchard). Unfortunately we came the very last weekend of the season so the trees were a bit over picked, but we successfully emerged with fresh apples, apple fritters, fried apple pies, apple cider doughnuts, pumpkins, apple cider (store-bought apple cider has been forever ruined for me after tasting the fresh stuff), and other assorted ciders in tow. Pure apple euphoria.

Once we rolled back to my friend's apartment (after sadly discovering that Antico Pizza is closed on Sundays - boo), it was time to commence the pumpkin carving. Nothing screams impending Halloween like carving our pumpkins during the season premier of The Walking Dead (appropriately, mostly filmed in Atlanta). We seasoned up those pumpkin seeds and baked them as an added snack.

Our Ellijay apples put to good use - the before and after of our homemade apple pie. Check out the recipe here!

Atlantans, tell me, how do you celebrate Fall locally?

Food Crawls: INC, Social Vinings, Another Broken Egg Cafe

2011-11-07T11:00:00.000-05:00

I've been hearing friends clamor about INC Street Food in Downtown Roswell for awhile. So when the opportunity arose to grab a mid-day margarita before a bridesmaids dress perusing at Roswell's Wedding Angels, we struck while the queso skillet was hot.

My Favorite: Queso Fresca - baked Mexican Cheese, shaved radishes, thyme, garlic & shallots, with El Milagro tortillas (did I ever mention that my last meal before I die MUST include queso? What I loved most about this yummy and interesting tasting effort was that the greasy-I-feel-like-I'm-going-pass-out-or-throw-up-from-eating-too-much-queso feeling was not even a little bit present.)

Things I loved: Margaritas were served in Mason jars. The decor (colorful latino feel meets restored crate n' barrel). Inspired by Latin street food, INC takes a veritable step in incorporating very authentic flavors. Nice margarita (each one is hand-mixed) selection. Extremely friendly service.

Things I didn't love: Margaritas were served in INC logo-ed Mason jars. While the marketing guru in me appreciates the branding, I think the logo-dressed mason jars look cheesy and take away from the old-fashioned appeal of drinking something out of a mason jar. It is a bit on the pricey side but if are looking for something different from your run-of-the mill taco dishes at any Mexican restaurant - it is worth the splurge.

Little sis was in town for a visit one weekend and if there's anything my family all agrees on it's that Sunday brunch is the best part of the weekend. When Meghan suggested checking out Another Broken Egg Cafe in the Peachtree Battle shopping center, I was stoked to try something new (always). Another Broken Egg is a franchise stemming off of the original called Broken Egg in Mandeville, Louisiana.

Overall - it reminded me greatly of J Christophers - if not slightly more enhanced in it's menu. Solid choice. There is something for everyone on this menu. Next time, I'm going to try the Banana's Foster waffle or the Smoked Salmon Omelette.

My Favorite: The Biscuit Beignets- 8 petite southern style beignets lightly tossed in powdered sugar, served with honey marmalade dipping sauce. Just make sure the people you are eating with want to share with you - otherwise your bound to devour the whole thing for yourself.

Things I loved: The cute, warm mugs they served their coffee in. The to-die-for-sugar-coma biscuit beignets. Diverse selection on the menu.

Things I didn't love: I was SO excited about the Blackberry Grits (pictured above), followed by swift disappointment the second I took one bite. It tasted like somebody had scooped blackberry compote directly onto a cup of unseasoned grits. There was no seasoning, no blending of the flavors, no unifying ingredient to marry the hearty and sweet together.

The beau and I just moved to Vinings in August and we are loving our new neighborhood. There is no shortage of charm or good eats nestled jusssst barely ITP. Did I mention the sweet view of the skyline? Every time I tell a friend we moved to Vinings, I am immediately greeted with a recommendation to check out Social Vinings. That is exactly what my girlfriend Molly and I did one Monday, accidentally discovering the 1/2 price bottles of wine special (trouble).

My Favorite: Truffled Cheesy Macaroni Fritters - served with mustard sauce. The Fried Oreos served with vanilla ice-cream (pictured above) weren't too shabby either.

Things I loved: Pretty much everything. Clean, modern, ambiance. Clearly a happy hour favorite of the area. Young professional crowd. I love when you can order good sushi on a menu that serves up equally good mac fritters. Win, win, win!

Things I didn't love: There isn't really too much I didn't love. Perhaps the server came over to check on us a bit too aggressively. Which, in theory I can't be too mad about - I appreciate the thought.

Among the flurry of food trucks popping up around the city, emerges a no-brainer. Tastee Truck is the city's first rolling grilled cheeserie - serving up fully customizable, crispy, golden, cheese-oozing stacks of heaven.

Select your bread (white or wheat), your slice of heaven (american, cheddar, gruyere, or jalapeno havarti) and your extras if you fancy (pulled pork, thick-cut bacon, chorizo sausage, ham, regular or habanero mac n' cheese ::editor's note - cheese on cheese action? yes please!::, sauteed mushrooms, caramelized onion, jalapeno, sliced tomato).

Or, if you are of the indecisive persuasion, you can select one of their mouth-watering specialties. The Uncle Jesse sounds the most mouth-watering, but you'll likely need to order a wheelchair to get back to your car: Cheddar Cheese, Mac N' Cheese, Caramelized onion, Pulled Pork, and BBQ Sauce. Talk to me!

Follow Tastee Truck on Twitter for location updates.

Help the @TheBertShow send 400K letters to troops by Thanksgiving

2011-10-03T12:00:00.000-04:00

September 11 hit me in a hard way this year. Typically, I approach uncomfortable topics in a very uniform way - I avoid them. Each year when the anniversary rolled around, I pretended like it was any other normal day. I may nod to those affected by that day most with the obligatory Facebook status update. But generally, I tell myself, it is best not to dwell and it is best not be sad. This year, on the 10th anniversary, it was much different. It was hard not to avoid the topic - seemingly every channel had a special running on it. One day, I tuned into an interesting documentary on the History channel. It is called "102 Minutes That Changed America". Instead of the standard after-the-fact interviews or a recap of the news coverage from that day, it is a moment-by-moment analysis of the events that day, told from first-person perspectives of over 100 New Yorkers, as it was happening.

There was something haunting and almost unimaginable about seeing everything unfold through their eyes. It hits in a much different place then how it would if you were just watching news coverage. Having the guts to watch it all the way through was tough - but at the end of the day, it was a solemn reminder of what that day has taught me and how important it is that we never forget, no matter how painful it is to remember, what happened.

It also really hit home with me about how completely selfless and heroic the service men and women of our nation are. Over 300 firefighters lost their lives that day - many of them knew by going in those buildings that they were sealing their fate. But, it was their duty.

I was listening to the Bert Show the other morning when they announced their "Big Thank You" effort. An effort to send 400,000 thank you letters to our troops located around the world in time for Thanksgiving. Wow. There are still 400,000 troops deployed all over the world. And not just in Afghanistan, but in other parts of the world as well. How soon we forget. All it really takes is a few minutes of your time to make a world of difference for a service man or woman overseas.

Express your gratitude for our troops this year by submitting a heartfelt, handwritten thank you on a 8.5” x 11” paper or smaller to the Bert Show to: The Bert Show’s Big Thank You 780 Johnson Ferry Road NE 5th Floor Atlanta, GA 30342.

Two major things:
1) Make sure you review the submission guidelines first. There are very specific specs that need to be followed in order for your letter to make it overseas.

2) In order to keep things organized and to hit the 400,000 goal, The Bert Show is asking that you try to send letters in bulk. Here are instructions on how to organize your letters. So gather your friends, family, religious groups, co-workers and rally them to join the cause.

Along with posting more regularly to the blog (apologies for the hiatus - they day job is sucking every ounce of my energy. time to put exploration of my city back up on the priority list!).

Dessert has made the hit list. As for the rest:

local heirloom tomatoes, sea salt, EVO, basil, young pecorino (appetizer)
bayley hazen blue, cows milk, vermont cheese (appetizer)

my first @canoeatlanta experience...

2011-07-06T12:30:00.000-04:00

When the bf surprised me with dinner at Canoe for the four year anny, I was amped to cross it off my long "restaurants to try" list. Canoe is a waterfront dining experience perched on the banks of the Chattahoochee River in Vinings. The ambiance is very romantic and soothing. Let's face it, any restaurant near water is going to score immediate points with me. Ambiance passed with flying colors, onto the nosh fest.

Warm Artisan Cheese Salad with Bacon, Baby Spinach, Dried Cranberries and Toasted Pecan Vinaigrette $12 (this salad is the best salad I've ever had - bar none. The cheese was creamy goodness and tasted like a brie. An excellent place to start).

Mocha Creme Brulee with a large mocha cookie on top! (Obviously these photos aren't in correct order. The dessert was out of control good. This one was richer (the bf ordered it) but a unique twist on a classic).

Homemade coconut lime ice-cream. (Super, super refreshing. Licked the bowl when nobody was looking).

Jumbo Lump Crab Cake with Yuzu Dressed Cabbage Slaw $15

Grilled Atlantic Salmon, Spaghetti Squash & Carrot Saute, Pecans and Wilted Baby Spinach $22

Thyme Gnocchi

All in all Canoe lived up to the hype. It is definitely one of those occasion restaurants, although they just wrapped up a happy hours summer live music series in the Canoe River Garden and I hear the brunch is fantastic. Fellers if you are looking to impressive a lady friend, this is a good one. All-in-all a great place to gather and celebrate life's special occasions.

Ok, so you've heard me blog once or twice about my love for Morelli's and their partnership with our beloved red-bearded TC friend Kevin Gillespie (helloooo blueberry pancake and salted caramel!) Great news for all you Edgewood-ers, Morelli's part deux is coming your way!

Donald Sargent and Clarissa Morelli, owners of Morelli’s Gourmet Ice Cream & Desserts, are proud to announce that they will be opening a new location in the Edgewood Shopping District at 1220 Caroline Street on Saturday, June 4.

The new 1,500-square foot store, which was formerly a Cold Stone Creamery, features a red and beige color scheme and kid-friendly décor complete with an ice cream sandwich banquette and ice cream cookie bar stools for guest seating. The new store also contains a milkshake bar and a sundae bar with rotating selections that Woodfire Grill Executive Chef/Partner Kevin Gillespie, who is a partner in this new Morelli’s location, will create each season.

Morelli’s will be posting the shop’s flavors of the day on Twitter each day. Ice cream lovers are also encouraged to look out for Morelli’s at local Atlanta events as the store has a cart that can be used to dispense ice cream.

Can I just say, being an Atlanta native, that I've witnessed the food scene in Atlanta grow and expand and push the envelope in so many ways over the years. I tip my hat the local foodie-preneurs who have diversified the scene, brought sustainability to the forefront, fought for street food and are advocates for slow cooking. I can't get enough of events like this, and can't wait to see what they come up with next!

One of my absolute favorite photography duos in the city of Atlanta, CreativeSoul Photography, has just launched their new website! In honor of the new website launch, CS is doing a scavenger hunt for the chance at some very neat prizes.

Reasons why I LOVE CS photography (in addition to the photos below, which speak for themselves):

They put the fun back into family photography. Gone are the days of matching sweater vests and awkward family photos. CS photo is for the modern family and they love to have FUN on their sets.
Kahran + Reg (CS photog dynamic duo!) are amazing at telling your story through the photos. Give them a sense of you and your story and bam, they deliver photos that are uniquely yours.
They do a little bit of everything that is family related - that includes engagement shots + weddings.
They put a lot of hard work and research into the best places to shoot, cool props and textures, techniques and style.

This photo is from a shoot I did with my boo and the gang at CreativeSoul. To get the full scoop on the shoot and the amazing job CS did, check out this blog post!

Cutie CS patootie

CreativeSoul was also onsite to shoot at our Cocktails for a Cause fundraiser that helped raise over $3,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society! To see more, check out the blog post here.

Moral of the story - check out Kahran + Reg for your family/engagement/wedding photography needs. You won't be disappointed!
