Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams: Westside Provisions

I’m an ice cream girl. I prefer it over brownies, cakes, pies, and running. What I love most about Jeni’s in particular – aside from the fact that they have the friendliest, most patient staff willing to let you sample to your heart’s delight to find your faves – is […]

AtlantaFresh Greek Yogurt

AtlantaFresh Greek Yogurt

This Greek yogurt from AtlantaFresh Artisan Creamery is the truth! It’s definitely not the typical eat-it-only-because-it’s-good-for-me bland yog, and I definitely do NOT just toss it into smoothies. It’s more like a treat and even – dare I say? – a healthy alternative to ooey gooey calorie-laden desserts. Y’all know […]
