No, not a BLT with a fried green tomato. This is a standard BLT with a RIPE green tomato. The green tomato adds even more fresh, bright flavors that are richly needed to combat that streaky bacon.

I’ve been known to make a meal out of 1/2 an avocado and a tiny sprinkle of sugar. So, this is a nice variation for summer when you’re craving something cold and icy. Pops don’t have to be dripping with sugar. Less is more.

Our First Black Mission Fig
Washed With Rain Drops
That first fig was shared in the back yard. Still damp with rain, it was the best fig we’ve ever eaten. Nothing in the world can beat a piece of fruit […]
Don’t lose any of that garden fresh flavor. Keep it simple.

The search to find good Cuban bread in Atlanta is a serious challenge. So, until I learn to bake my own, I’ll be substituting my favorite baguette in its place. Since this is “almost” a Cuban sandwich, I’ve also decided to crisp my baguette in the oven in lieu of […]
There is absolutely nothing light about this version of macaroni and cheese. As a matter of fact, it’s the exact opposite. It’s totally rich, creamy and full of great cheese flavor.

Masa Real
Don’t ask me to explain the name. I’m told it has no real (ha! real… oh, nevermind I’m tired) translation. But, make no mistake. This is one of the best things you’ll ever put in your mouth. Seriously.
In our experience and to the […]
