I love flowers and healthy food so when I rode by the new Sandy Springs City Center and saw that a new restaurant called Flower Child was about to open I was intrigued. My mom was visiting me last weekend so we headed over to check it out. … Read More »

Let’s talk about Cafe Sababa. I’m not sure how I didn’t know about this little gem until my friend, Felicia, mentioned it. I’ve walked past it numerous times on the way to Simply Thai, another one of my Dunwoody favorites. Cafe Sababa offers Mediterranean and middle eastern dishes made fresh and super delicious.… Read More »

My new favorite place to lunch. I’m not sure why I haven’t tried this place sooner; probably because the idea of my child with selective hearing cooking her own food in a pot of boiling broth makes my eye twitch. Spoiler alert…it went really well. Hot pot is a Chinese method of cooking a variety of foods in broth at the table.… Read More »

You’ve quite possibly eaten breakfast at Buttermilk Kitchen in Buckhead. If not, you need to go…and soon….but get there early and expect to wait a little while for a table. It is worth the wait…just ask my always hungry teenage boys.
Buttermilk’s Chef, Suzanne Vizethann, is a local girl who actually graduated from Riverwood High School. … Read More »

Well, Dunwoody, it appears we skipped Spring and fast forwarded to Summer. The warmer weather usually serves as a reminder that I should get moving since I am about as active as a mushroom, but luckily, I have Press, Blend, Squeeze to help get me back on track. Matt and Nicole, owners of Press, Blend, Squeeze “want to make healthy food and beverage choices easily accessible for everyone, while helping to educate consumers on specific ingredient benefits.” They developed the idea after Matt’s father was diagnosed with cancer and was able to add over 5 years to his original 5 month life expectancy by changing his diet. … Read More »
