Green Almonds @ Global Food & Nuts

Fresh Green Almonds

Global Food and Nuts sits in the same strip mall as Veranda Greek Taverna. Attracted by the variety of Hookah pipes lining one of the front glass windows, we had to check this place out. We were instantly greeted by tall rows of candy, tea, nuts (lots […]

Gokul Sweets — Chana Chur

Fried Black Chickpeas, Cashews & Peanuts

Previously distracted by the blends of deep fried chick pea chips and nuts, we’d overlooked the individual offerings. But, the black chickpeas (kala chana) caught my eye on this visit. We’re so happy they did. They’re awesome! Rich with nutty flavor and a toasty […]

Lamb Sandwiches & Sesame Bars @ Alon’s

Lamb on Ciabatta

We first discovered this sandwich at the opening of the Perimeter Mall location. And, it’s been on our favorites list ever since. I don’t know why we ignored the prepared foods section of the Highland’s location. What a mistake.

The ciabatta is perfect for a […]

Muss & Turner’s

Deep Fried Collards, Fried Chicken Thighs, & Creamy Cheddar Grits

I’ve always loved deep fried greens. I love the way they crunch and crumble under the most delicate bite. Then, they slowly dissolve on your tongue leaving only the pure essence of their flavor. The bitter greens are used to […]

Dancing Goats

Dancing Goats Blend

This has been our breakfast coffee of choice for almost 2 years. With roasting dates prominently displayed, it’s easy to find a bag that has been roasted the same day. (Or, on a bad day… within a day or two)

Apple Pie Jam by Emily G

We found this prettily packaged apple pie jam at Muss & Turner’s. And, we had to buy a jar. We’re looking forward to slathering it on tomorrow morning’s breakfast toast.

Kimchi Dumplings @ Buford Hwy Farmers Market

Kimchi Dumplings

Kimchi (or kim chee) dumplings are one of our favorite items from the prepared foods section of Buford Highway Farmers Market. They disappear fast. So, they’re usually still piping hot in the package. After fighting the crowds, these mildly spicy dumplings make a great quick lunch.

New Odessa — Walnut Cookies (yum) & the unfortunate prune incident

Mystery Chocolates

Shopping for chocolates at New Odessa can be a bit of a mystery. I love marshmallows. And, the above photo depicts a marshmallow… yes? Yes. But, it also illustrates a plum or a grape or… maybe a fig? A jelly-filled chocolate? I was hoping for fig in some […]

Royal Sweets

Delicious Day-glo colored Sweets from Royal Sweets

While all the sweets were lovely, we particularly enjoyed the figgy pinwheels. Sadly, we don’t know the name of these treats. Royal Sweets doesn’t label all of their treats. We did find the laddu (toasted wheat and butter balls) a bit […]

Toscano & Sons

Stocking the Pantry:

Toscano & Sons has a wide assortment of goods. Parmigiano Reggiano butter, a great selection of Italian deli meats & cheeses, coffees, Italian vegetable seeds for planting, chilled Italian sodas for sale individually, chinotto & san bitter by the pack, and too many pantry items […]
