The Broken Meatball to get to know me is to love me...

Many times Ive sat down to write, mostly on blogs that are already out there. I have a couple of pages on Facebook. (you can look them up BrokenMeatball and Mancation). I enjoy cooking and do it as often as I can, a blend of comfort food and healthy. I also love to bake I dont have much of a sweet tooth, but I love to bake and give all the sweets away. Being single is tough and the best way to not get down on yourself is to find something to do that you have a love for. A few years ago after leaving my long term relationship I moved in to this little 1  bedroom apartment. It was not much but I loved it. I invited my friends over all the time and cooked all the time almost every night. The food was good the company better. My friend suggested I name the kitchen, this way they have something to check in to on Facebook and foursquare and The Broken Meatball was created.  I decided it would be a new Italian restaurant with a spin on the dishes I grew up on. And so the story is born, I continued to cook for my friends and family. And after a while I started to give cooking classes. My friends would come over and I would teach them what ever they wanted to learn. See the rule in my kitchen is the same as my grandmothers. If you want to know how to make it you have to come over and make it with me. Cooking is the easy part to let all you know a recipe is very easy to follow. Its the finished product that shows the true dish, it needs to look as good as it tastes. 

I want this Blog to be more than about my food and recipes while it will be full of pictures, recipes, and how to's. I want it also to be about the journey of my new life as a single girl in Atlanta and my travels with my friends. I want you as a reader to share as well. So here we go with the first of many. 

Keep Cooking!

JCT Kitchen and Sunday Supper

During the holiday season Derek and I decided to go back to JCT. We have been there before dinner and drinks for my birthday which was great!  Sunday Supper is a great idea the JCT does. A course menu for under $30. It's such a great idea! First things first, make a reservation while you can sit at the bar for dinner table side service is very nice and there is always a long wait! So please make a  reservation!  Second, get there early. This helps with two items one it's nice for the staff to have you checked in ahead of time for seating rotation. Two you can sit at the bar and get a craft cocktail from one of the knowledgeable bartenders.  So we sit down and order our meal. Everyone starts with homemade biscuits and jam. And a course of devil eggs. Our biscuits came out late due to running out (they are that good) and the first round of the biscuits where over cooked but replaced quickly! The eggs are fantastic all what you need and just like moms only a lot better!...

Seven Lamps a hidden gem in Buckhead

We can all agree if you live in Atlanta that this summer has been pretty fantastic for weather. So to enjoy the summer nights as best I could I headed over to Buckhead and decided I would try a new place.  So here I am driving through a parking lot and off to the right tucked behind the storefronts was a little patio with covered tables. I pulled in and walk up to the front desk. Asked the girl if we could sit outside and off we went.  You have a choice between family style tables or little metal cafe tables. There are a few chairs you can sit in and have a cocktail or glass of wine.  We sat at the table and immediately had water brought over. I ordered a Rose' and my date a beer. I think it was called Naked Pig. He loved it!  The chef serves a pickled plate instead of bread. All done in house and soooo tasty. The menu is innovative. Local farm to table meals. The menu changes daily based on what is available. I was told the produce was sold by Farmer Dan...you can't...

Nuevo Laredo Cantina best Mexican in town

Nothing better on a bright and sunny afternoon than a margarita on the rocks and some good company. So this week I decided to go on an adventure and check out Nuevo Laredo Cantina located at 1495 Chattahoochee Ave NW, Atlanta, GA 30318. It's a great little hidden spot in Atlanta that has some of the best Mexican food you can find!  Walked in and got a table in the main dinning   area. Where you will find decor that is Charming and funny. Lots of pictures and some great signs! Chips and fresh salsa hit the table first. The chips are warm and salsa is fresh and spicy! The server came on and took out orders. We ordered margaritas on the rocks w salt now I will tell you the drink to order is the Cadillac margarita it's big and fantastic, but it was a week day so I went with the smaller one still as tasty just smaller!  The serve them by the glass or pitcher and prices start at $6.50.  Now I will have to let you in on a secret if mine. I have a weakness for a Chili R...
