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!

Kula the Revolving Sushi Bar

If I say Sushi, what would you say? YES! Is the only correct answer.  I had the pleasure of eating at the newest Sushi place in Doraville this week, called  Kula  it is an international brand, with 400 restaurants in Japan and this is the 13th revolving sushi bar in the US. They have places in California, Texas, and now Georgia.  Hosted by Davo Eda, the Public Relations Manager, he was so kind to invite me in to see the new place. He even let me bring a friend, so of course I brought my favorite lady Callie, to help me eat and take pictures.  We were introduced to Mr. Fresh, it is the plate holder for the conveyor belt, "he" holds the green plates of food and treats. There was a tutorial of how to grab the food from the belt, as well as how to order from the menu and dispose of your plates. Mr. Fresh keeps the food germ free, has a chip in it for timing and every 2 hours he lets a specialists know it is time to throw the food out. This ...

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.

I'll start posting more videos to help with tips and tricks.  Sunday dinners are a big thing at our house and even more during Game of Thrones!

Then rub the butter all over the chicken under the skin and inside t...
