Lunch with Lauren Pantry List
One of my biggest pet peeves is having to run to the grocery store more than once a week. I’ve heard that many of you have to make multiple trips and that is one of the factors in making mealtime so stressful. You may open a recipe and see that you don’t have a minor (or major) ingredient and scrap it altogether or get in the car and spend 30 minutes trying to find buttermilk.… Read More »
Prep Food Junction – Literally A Hidden Gem
I was having a day that required tacos and rallied some adventurous friends to try out Let’s Taco Bout It. I dropped the address in Waze and went on my way, past that weird abandoned cylinder building at spaghetti junction, and ended on the frontage road of 85 facing the Big Green Egg building. I pulled up into what can only be described as a food hall in the form of an office park known as Prep Food Junction.… Read More »

Vacation with Lauren: Asheville, North Carolina!
by Lauren Townsend for The Aha! Connection
Our family was lucky enough to take a summer getaway to Asheville, North Carolina. My husband and I had visited many years ago, but we have never been with our children. Since it was really a trip for my husband, I opted to stay in a VRBO about 20 miles from Asheville on a 40-acre horse farm and not a hotel downtown.… Read More »

Birria Tacos!
by Lauren Townsend for The Aha! Connection
What are Birria Tacos? I’m glad you asked because birria tacos seem to be all the rage around the nation and here in Atlanta. What you typically see around Atlanta (and in the U.S.) is actually a quesabirria taco. “The tortilla is dipped in birria broth and griddled, before being topped with meat and cheese and then folded into the now crunchy, red-tinged tortilla.”… Read More »
