Several months ago, I wrote a blog post about Vosges Haut Chocolat after trying their caramel toffee marshmallow. Their website is full of luxury chocolates with some unusual flavors. They have an entire section devoted to bacon and chocolate. Strolling through Whole Foods one day…
As I move along with blogging, I’m slowly revealing my food obsessions. By now you know chocolate is definitely one, but let me introduce another…the pecan. I could seriously eat an entire 2 lb. bag of them and not think twice about it until…
Huh? There’s no such thing as a sizzling popsicle. That’s just a foodie term for steaks, right? Not anymore. If you haven’t found your way to Las Paletas, located at 2907 12th Avenue South, then you haven’t lived. These are definitely popsicles that sizzle.…
Nashville has such a great farmers’ market. I’ve found myself there several Saturdays in a row now and I always come home with a bagful of goodies. On one visit I found a jackpot of dried legumes and bought some red lentils. I couldn’t…

I kept reading such a buzz about the new place Burger Up (located at 2901 12th Ave South) through Twitter and my favorite bloggers that I was dying to try it out for myself. I was thrilled when they were added as a participant…
Magic really does happen in the kitchen! I made these bars for an outdoor event, so I needed something new, exciting, and melt-proof. Now I have no idea if these bars would have melted because they didn’t stick around that long. I couldn’t believe…
I think I must be becoming quite the sandwich connoisseur as I’ve found yet another way to enjoy a turkey sandwich. It’s so easy to dress up a sandwich and not have the same one twice. My latest venture is the Taco Turkey Wedge.…
If you’re looking for a short weekend getaway, be sure to visit Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. The pictures online don’t do it much justice as it is way beyond a mansion. It’s absolutely amazing how big it is in person and how…
