Dinner at Home Can Be Great

I love a Sunday dinner as I'm sure you do. Growing up my family would get together and make dinner, the smells of my favorite food all in the air. The sounds of the men in the back room watching TV. As a little girl I never understood why my grandmother and mother would do it. All the stress and all the clean up. But as I grew I learned that they enjoyed it. All of it. From the prep (sometimes the night before) to the smiles on our faces and the talk at the table. They enjoyed every minute! 

 And now I try to do this as often as I can in my own home. Now my house rarely has the amount of people it did as a child. But, I feel that Sunday dinner is still very important. 

So here we are. It's Sunday and the air is crisp you can tell the change in season is happening. A glass of wine and an open window for a breeze is all you want. 
I love a meatball. Might be abovious by the title of my blog, but I do I love a meatball. 

A traditional meatball should have a perfect combo of ground pork, veal, and beef. But this day and age you can add anything you want. I'm attempting this better for me diet so I went strait turkey. I'm guessing at this point you would want me to give me the recipe for my yum yum meatballs. While I would love so much to do so. I hate to disappoint. Truly....but a family recipe is that for a reason. So if you want to know how I make my meatballs you will need to come and join me in my kitchen. My grandmother told me once that the best recipes are only shared with those who share your kitchen. In her honor I will abide.  I will however show pictures of all my meatball madness. =} 

And because I love all if you so much I'll even show you a secret to my red sauce...'gravy' in some cities. I roast my veggies it gives a great flavor to the sauce. 

It's not hard to make a great dinner any night of the week, but what would happen if we started all our weeks with the ones we loved? What would your week be like if you started it with a full belly, a smile, and a story to tell someone next Sunday! 

Make Sunday dinner any way you can! 

And I didn't forget a summer caprise salad!

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.

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 ...

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