What's your favorite steak 🥩?

In my culinary preparations, I've been rotating venison ground meat with beef on a 3-month cycle, and the difference remains undetectable to my family.

I love these Trader Joe’s chocolates. They sorta taste like one of my favorite candy bar: Crunchie

Have you ever tried knott’s berry farms cookies?

Fall favorites: I know I am posting this a little behind.
Honeycrisp apple pie with Maple vanilla ice cream. It's so good and just right.
Warm up your pie slice in the oven and scoop the ice cream on top. It's so delicious.

TASTE OF ALPHARETTA
This year I had plans for Mother's Day weekend and was considering deviating from the longstanding annual tradition I have attended since I moved to Atlanta in 2006.

Over the past two years, they've made a transition from paper tickets to reloadable cards, accompanied by a user-friendly website for tracking food tickets.

I continue to frequent this event annually, irrespective of my distance from Alpharetta, for several compelling reasons: the convenience of complimentary parking, no admission fees, and the relief from parking-related hassles like booting, towing, or ticketing in nearby business lots. Plus, I relish the opportunity to indulge in a variety of delectable cuisines!
