Meaty Classes at Pine Street Market
I had the opportunity to attend the Whole Hog Class at Pine Street Market for free in partnership with Culinary Local in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. I learned oh so much from Rusty #knowyourbutcher. #ad Warning: A cut up animal picture is below. If you do not like to see cut up animals, this class is definitely not for you. Â Have you always wondered where various parts of the pig come from? Have you wondered about the process of how bacon is made or pork butt? Did you know that the pork butt actually comes from the shoulder of the pig? I had no clue, but…

5 Reasons to Run to First Watch Cafe
I have received a meal free in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion. #ad Recently I was invited to First Watch to help promote a new coffee program that they have called Project Sunrise. More about that later, but I am so upset that prior to my visit I had not heard of First Watch and after tasting the food, I really could not understand why unless people were trying to keep the place to themselves. A hidden gem in Smyrna, GA (currently 7 total locations in Georgia), only serving breakfast, brunch and lunch and truly they do specialize in the three and they truly do not disappoint. My…

The Ballad of Klook and Vinette – Horizon Theatre

Tracy’s Gourmet Salad Dressing and Marinade Review
As a member of Women of Culinary, I had the opportunity to review Tracy’s Gourmet Dressings and Marinades free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review of the products. #ad For the past 6 years of so, I have been changing up my eating every January and with it includes more salads, but the dressings. They have so much in them that I am better off just doing oil and vinegar and adding my own seasoning, but I get bored with it. With the need for clean salad dressings that have ingredients that you can read, pronounce and actually understand, there are not many in that category that I…
