I have a confession. Before these scones came into my life, I had never made or even tasted one before. I gave scones a bad rep because I thought they were all dry and boring. Why would I ever choose a scone over a…
I found Fat Boys BBQ while driving one day. It’s located at 2733 Murfreesboro Road in Antioch. I almost missed the tiny building, but how I missed the big pink pig is beyond me! I practically swerved into the parking lot on two wheels…
Try saying this three times fast! Chocolate Banana Butterscotch Cake. It’s quite a mouthful for a dessert name, but I couldn’t resist the combination of these three flavors. The original recipe doesn’t include the chocolate. I really like banana and chocolate together, so I…
This meal is what I have been referring to as the best lunch ever. I don’t know why it has taken me so long to visit Sambuca, located in the Gulch at 601 12th Avenue South. A group of my girlfriends and I met…
The way the house smells when bread is baking is unbelievable. Add to that the aroma of fresh herbs and you know something good is about to come out of the oven. Mediterranean Herbed Bread caught my attention because it uses the herbs I…
I am in love with Thai food. Make that obsessed with Thai food. I can’t really pinpoint one flavor or dish that makes me crave it so much. It’s quite possible I could eat it every day with no complaints. So, I jumped at…
Hello chocolate! This has got to be one of my favorite chocolate cakes. Triple Chocolate Picnic Cake is easy to prepare and tastes moist and delicious. The glaze alone is drool inducing. Look at it just dripping over the sides! It’s definitely a cake…
I get really excited when I find foods from healthy cookbooks that I end up liking so much that I make them when I’m not trying to be healthy. Blue Cheese-Walnut Roasted Potatoes happen to fit into that category. All in moderation of course,…
Oh how I love to snack. Whether I’m popping morsel after morsel into my mouth while working or munching and chatting with friends at a party, I truly do appreciate the tiny bites. Snacking can be as plain (yet delicious) as a saltine or…
Any food that lets me be a kid all over again is tops in my book. That’s what I love about the new trend of do-it-yourself frozen yogurt. I am in kid heaven at Menchie’s, located at 6900 Lenox Village Drive. A buffet of…
Lemon in desserts is so refreshing. Sweet, a bit sour, just a hint of lemon, or bold flavor throughout. I jumped at the chance to make a coworker’s recent birthday treat when she suggested something lemon. I chose the Ultimate Lemon Pound Cake. A…
This is a recipe I have been making for years. I can’t remember the first time I made 7-Layer Mexican Dip or where it came from, and I’ve tweaked it here and there along the way. It’s become one of my go-to recipes whenever…
