What's for dinner? fast food -vs- home made

(via)

I love a good cheese burger
we have a couple great burger places in Mount Pleasant
*The Windjammer*
Crave
*Poes*
(no fast food though**the boyfriend and I don't partake)
well....except for the very rare chick fil a

this info graphic
shows the price difference
 between home cooked and fast food
and the health difference

I think it's very interesting
seeing what $30.00 buys you at McDonalds
and knowing what $30.00 buys you at the Grocery Store
even if you arn't a certified chef
an affordable home made meal is within reach

wanderlust: food and travel





When I get a taste of Wanderlust
most often
I think of trying exotic foods 
drinking new wines and liquors
I dream of curries
and the crazy packaging of new snacks
trying new foods is always my favorite part of traveling 

this video 
is a perfect taste 
of my favorite part of traveling

From the Kitchen: What I've been Cooking

The Boyfriends Favorite
the cheese plate
with fresh baked bread
brie
cheddar
and tiny champagne grapes
Crock Pot Macaroni & Cheese
add Peas, Pancetta and super sharp cheddar
it's perfect


Pioneer Woman's Steakhouse pizza
*kinda*
used some of  my own flavors
but she is my inspiration
I added arugula, mushrooms,  and used vidalia onions
*sweet southern awesomeness*
