BFF Tweetup at Sol Oasis

July 30, 2012 By 24 Comments

One thing I love about blogging is having the opportunity to meet other positive women, and my first event with the Blog Fab Fashionistas (BFFs) was full of positivity, pampering, and gut busting laughter.

The Blog Fab Fashionista group was created by Oh Nikka for bloggers to have an opportunity to network with one another, and local business, via a tweetup (a group of people meeting up at the same place to live tweet the event they are experiencing together). There have been several BFF tweetups to date and the “Pampered & Martinis: Night of Luxury” was the most recent I was invited to.

When I tell you I had fun, that is a complete understatement. Anytime I can lounge in my pajamas, get pampered, eat, drink, and laugh until I snort…well it really can’t get better than that. From the moment I walked into Sol Oasis I felt welcomed, and completely at home, by Nikka and the Sol Oasis staff.

The BFFs were treated to mini manicures, mini pedicures, mini facials, and chair massages by the Sol Oasis owner and staff.

KaSaundra (Sol Oasis owner) is just as sweet and nice as she can be. While receiving a mini manicure she and I chatted about where she was from (NY stand up), the fabulous salon paintings she hand painted, and the body products line (Bootsie and Sass) she created.

There was also tasty bites on hand, Lemon Drop martinis, and fresh fruit infused water. The martinis were one of the hits of the night and I have the outtake pictures to prove it, but I’d have to kill you if I shared them. *wink*

Many of the women in attendance are bloggers and entrepreneurs, and the tweetup was an opportunity for several of them to showcase their respective businesses. If you follow me on Instagram you know I purchased the most fabulous spiked bracelet from a fellow BLM Girl, Lynn, I can’t wait to wear. I also met my new blogger bff in my head, Cha’Kiva, at the tweetup. Cha’Kiva designs handbags and accessories and was rocking a pair of her custom creations at the tweetup. Lakeisha Dixon, author of “The Victorious State of Mind,” was also present to discuss her new book. Lakeisha is a powerful speaker and almost had me doing the “ugly cry” and “church sway” when she graced us with a lovely inspiring poem. Not to be out done by the inspirational book and fabulous accessories, Sophia Soso Harris-Starnes provided us all with a sample of her soo soo tasty cake balls. P.S. I totally want to do a ball joke, but my momma may be reading this. *waves* Hey mommy!

In addition to the night of pampering, Nikka raffled off several prizes, and everyone left with a goodie bag stuffed with nail polish and a Carol’s Daughter sample.

As you can tell the BFF event was fantabulous and I can’t wait until the next one. Please drop me a line and let me know what events you’ve been to recently, or are looking forward to attend.

XOXO, Miss Foodie Fab!

P.S. Here’s some more pics of the event. You know I’m all about the pics, honey!

You Call That A Coronarita, Across the Street

July 25, 2012 By 21 Comments

Okay before y’all start, yes I’ve been a bad blogger. Supposedly you are supposed to have an editorial board, post three times a week, set a post rhythm, yada yada, muah muah muah. To that I say, pppphhhht!

I promise to do better in the future, but hey shit happens. You still love me though, right?! Don’t make me start singing the Barney song to you. I will. You. Know. I. Will.

Recently the mister and I went out to eat at a local Mexican food restaurant. To say I wish we had went somewhere else, other than Across the Street, would be the understatement of the year. Le sigh, the food and service was terrible. I have been known to devour no less than two baskets of chips and salsa, in one seating, but I guess there is a first for everything. Across the Street’s chips were stale, and I don’t even have the words to describe how sub par the salsa was.

Across the Street, Chips and Salsa, Mexican Food

I ordered a Coronarita and instead received a “What the heck is that” drink! Across the Street’s version of a Coronarita is a weak margarita, mixed with a bit of Corona, and a can of Corona on the side. That’s not a Coronarita, that’s a margarita with a Corona on the side. First off, I don’t like to drink beer out of a can. Second, what happened to presentation?!

This is a proper Coronarita

CoronaritaNot, this!

Across the Street, Coronarita

Yes, I’m a Coronarita snob. Feel free to judge.

The food was also bland and flavorless, which was shocking because in the past Across the Street had a better quality of food. They were never “Hold my mule while I shout and slap my momma” delicious, but they were pretty good. I’m not sure if they got a new chef or changed their recipes, but neither my husband or I was impressed. He ordered a chimichanga and I ordered the three fish taco plate, both were sadly underwhelming. Being a Californian, I know good fish tacos. Across the Street’s are not in that category.

Across the Street, Beans and Rice, Burrito, Mexican Food

All in all, from the food to the unwelcoming attitude of the staff, I was not impressed with my visit to Across the Street. However, one monkey don’t stop my show, and Atlanta has many more Mexican restaurants to choose from.

Have you ever had a bad meal and/or service? Please share, I’d love to hear!

XOXO, Miss Foodie Fab!

P.S. If you like to try your hand at a Coronarita at home, here’s a fabulous recipe to try.

Pizza Cones, It’s Not Your Momma’s Pizza

July 18, 2012 By 39 Comments

So, I ran across this picture on Facebook of a pizza cone that let me know three things: Jesus is real, He sits on the throne, and He’s the biggest foodie EVER!

pizza cones, pizza

I mean really, how can you explain this food fabulousity and for one second deny that Jesus isn’t the biggest foodie in the universe?! I’ll wait, but this pic is my evidence, and I’m pretty sure the defense rests!

Being the gracious blogger that I am *curtsies*, I shared the picture with my peeps on my Facebook Fan Page. Honaaaaay, are you talking about the mozzarella hitting the fan?! Get it, mozzarella. It goes on pizza. *blank stare, slow blink, crickets*

Anywhoo, people wanted to know where they could order pizza cones and why I would post such a thing of greatness. Instant drooling was had all over the internet. Wait, pause. That sounded funny, but y’all know what I mean.

I told everyone I’m sure it could be found on Pinterest. I mean really, short of the “Meaning of Life,” what can’t be found on Pinterest?! I scoured Pinterest and found many pins, but most of them looked like this:
pizza cones, pizza

Or, that:
pizza cones, pizza

That wasn’t good enough for me, so I kept on searching. Then, the heavens opened. I think at some point a dove flew down too, but I could just have been imagining. *shrug*

I can’t wait to try this out! This ranks high on my fabulosity scale! Let me know what your favorite pizza ingredients are, I’d love to hear!

XOXO, Miss Foodie Fab!

 

 

P.S. Sur La Table is selling their Pizza Cone Set for $11.99. That’s a steal!

Yelp Generous Pour Wine Tasting At Capital Grille

July 16, 2012 By 12 Comments

If you follow Miss Foodie Fash on Instagram, and/or Twitter, you know I’m a big Yelper. I’m a Yelp marketing rep, okay in my own head only, and I’m always telling people about Yelp. I encourage everyone to use the site, review, and submit to become a Yelp Elite. Yelp Elites have the opportunity to attend fabulous Yelp events; and the recent Generous Pour Wine Tasting, at The Capital Grille, was no exception.

During the Generous Pour Wine Event I sipped nine of George Miliotes, Master Sommelier, favorite wines. Lunetta Rose, Chateau Du Pin, and Kanu Kia Ora were a selection of wines I sampled. My favorite was the Kanu Kia Ora. The Kanu Kia Ora is a Chenin Blanc desert wine and it is perfect to end an evening meal.

In addition to the wine tasting, light bites were served. Filet Mignon sliders, a variety of vegetables, cheeses, and tarts were a sample of the delectable items which floated around on silver platters. Side note, please re-read that last sentence with your pinky in the air. Thank you!

The Yelp Elites and their plus ones really cleaned up for the event, and as usual I spied two lovely curvy fashions that did it oh so well. In addition, I spotted many attendees in the most current summer styles. My Yelper pal, Nekiba, was right on trend with her neon necklace. I made a beeline to ask were she purchased it from, she said Tar’jay (Target for all us commoners). Y’all know where I’ll be going soon.

I look forward to the next Yelp event, and I’ll be a return visitor to The Capital Grille!

Take a peek of my Instagram pics of the event, and please let me know what some of your favorite wines are.

XOXO, Miss Foodie Fab!

P. S. If you want to experience The Generous Pour Wine Event too, make sure you stop by the Capital Grille until Sept. 2nd. For $25, per person with dinner, you can experience nine hand-selected wines. More information can be found on their website.

BLM Girls, We Set Trends

July 13, 2012 By 27 Comments

If you’ve followed me on Twitter you might have seen me use these hashtags, #BLMGirls and #BLMChat, quite often. You probably thought to yourself, “Self, what in the world is a BLM Chat or a BLM Girl?!” Well get excited, because I have the answers for you.

#BLMGirlsis the hashtag used for the Bloggers Like Me Facebook group created by Fashion Du Jour. The group consists of female bloggers (veterans, newbies, and those who want to start blogging but don’t know how) dedicated to the positive exchange of ideas, tips, advice, support, and online and offline networking. We aren’t just a group, we are a community. As a new blogger I have learned so much from the Bloggers Like Me (BLM) ladies, in regards to the world of blogging. However, we just don’t connect over all things blogging. We also congratulate and support one another about job promotions, new babies, marriage, faith, etc.

#BLMChat is a weekly chat I started, and moderate, to give the BLM girls the opportunity to discuss a blog related topic with one another. We meet every first Thursday of the month at 7:30PM EST (6:30CST/5:30MST/4:30PST). The chat has been very successful, and it has trended on Twitter each time we have had it. The chat serves as a vehicle for those on Twitter to discover the BLM ladies respective blogs, ask questions about blogging, make our presence known on Twitter, and give an opportunity for the global BLM ladies to interact with one another. Yes, I did say global. We fancy, hunh?! Sorry, had to do it. *wink*

I strongly suggest you take the opportunity to check out the Bloggers Like Me group, and/or join our weekly discussion.

Let me know which blogger groups you are apart of, I would love to hear!

XOXO, Miss Foodie Fab!

bloggers like me, blm girls, blm, bloggers, bloggers of color, black bloggers

P.S. If you join Bloggers Like Me you get this fancy schmanzy badge, created by BLM girl Christa, to place on your blog. You know you want one!

Fantabulous Foods, Take One

July 11, 2012 By 32 Comments

*sigh* Let’s talk about a subject that is near and dear to my heart, food. Oh sweet 8 pounds, 6 ounces, born in the manger, Baby Jesus how I love food. I would say it borders on an obsession, but I don’t want any one calling Jenny Craig on me. No really, don’t y’all call Jenny Graig on me.

Anywhoo, as I was saying, I love food. I like to eat it, smell it, taste it, cook it, and look at it. This may explain why I have 690 recipe pins on Pinterest, and that’s not including my categorized food pins. Okay, I may be a little obsessed.

That being said I thought it would be ever so gracious of me to share a few of the current foods that I find fantabulous. You’re welcome in  advance!

biscoff cookies, cookies, airplane cookies

A fellow blogger referred to Biscoff cookies, on my Instagram, as the “Airplane cookies!” Such truer words have never been spoken, however you don’t have to catch a flight anymore to indulge in one of these babies. Nope, they can now be found at your local Wal-Mart. I seen some recently in the cookie aisles and I broke out into a hallelujah dance. These cookies are the perfect accompaniment to coffee or tea. Whenever I eat one my pinky automatically raises in the air.

Chobani, Greek Yogurt, Yogurt

If you haven’t tried Greek Yogurt, you are doing yourself a disservice. Regular yogurt is soooo *rolls eyes* 2008. Greek yogurt is higher in protein, and lower in carbs, than regular yogurt. My favorite Chobani Yogurt is the pineapple, it’s the perfect blend of tang and sweet. For an extra treat, add a bit of granola and a drizzle of honey for the perfect snack.

Vegetarian, Vegetarian Food, Veggie Burger, Black Bean Burger, Morning Star

For all those on Team Vegetarian, I didn’t forget about you. Morning Star Farms Spicy Black Bean Burger is perfect for summertime grilling. The blend of black beans, roasted corn, brown rice, and chili peppers gives you plenty of texture and flavor. I reach for these when my husband feels like barbecuing. They are so good that I don’t even think twice about a beef burger. After I add a slice of cheese, mayo, ketchup, mustard, and a touch of Sriracha sauce, it becomes a party in my mouth.

Let me know some of your favorite foods, I would love to hear from you!

XOXO, Miss Foodie Fab!

Date Night & Mexican Food At Don Pedro’s

July 9, 2012 By 18 Comments

Saturday before last my mister and I went on a date day for Mexican food and fun. Yes, date nights don’t always have to be at night. Wherever, whenever, or as Ms. Janet sang, “Anytime, Anyplace” a date night can happen. For those of you that follow me on Instagram, you may have peeped glimpses of my date day. It was super fun. The plus side to being married to your best friend, is you’re married to YOUR best friend. Whenever we hang out, foolery is sure to arise.

We started off with lunch at Don Pedro Taqueria on Bufford Highway. Don Pedro reminds me of home, Southern California, and I definitely will be back. For one, you need to be able to half way speak, or understand, Spanish to place an order. Second, the clientele appears to be 99% Hispanic. Third, they have an extensive salsa bar. I almost did a little dance when I saw the pickled carrots and jalapenos that were available, that made me know Don Pedro was authentic. Note: You can’t call yourself a Mexican food connoisseur if you don’t know about pickled carrots and jalapenos.

I ordered a burrito, also now known as the “Big Ass Burrito”, with rice and beans. It was huge!

Mexican Food, Atlanta Food Bloggers, Food Bloggers, Foodies, Atlanta Foodies, Plus Size Fashion, Full Figured Fashion, Don Pedro Mexican Food, Atlanta Mexican Food, Atlanta Mexican Restaurants, Buford Highway Mexican Food, Bufford Highway

I think it was even bigger than my head.

My burrito was vegetarian and, since my Spanish was rusty, I did not understand that a vegetarian burrito did not come with rice and beans inside. I was a bit bummed by that, but it was still good never the less. Plus, for $7.99 I could not beat the amount of food that was on my plate. My husband had a carne asada burrito and he enjoyed every bite.

Later we went to Laser Voyage Cafe, and that was a blast. I scored a great deal off of Loclly, I’ll have to do a post about on-line deal discounts at a later date, and we enjoyed every second running around in the dark taking aim at one another.

Oh, and drum roll please, I even managed to get some outfit pics in. Clearly when a camera comes out I lose my mind. I was so in love with my hair that day, I felt like a B-Girl and had to bust some funky moves. I’m from Brooklyn, yo! Okay, not really.

It was super hot that day in Atlanta so I kept it casual cool. I rocked camouflage capris from Old Navy, layered a couple of tank tops from Forever 21′s Faith Line, broke out my favorite sandals I bought in Oahu, and kept the sun out with my ASOS sunnies.

Atlanta Style Bloggers Free People Event

July 7, 2012 By 8 Comments

Last Friday I had the pleasure of attending the Atlanta Style Blogger’s event at Free People in White Provision. It was a fabulous event. It was the first blogger event I have attended since starting my blog, and I was very impressed. The organizers, event, and the attendees were a wonderful bunch; and I loved having the opportunity to mix and mingle.

Free People is a boutique company with several locations around the United States. They have super cute clothes, and in honor of the event they gave a 10% to 25% discount to all attendees.

Spa Spetino was also there supplying massages and manicures.

Free People’s Store Manager, Kristina, and staff were super stylish and there also were several raffle prizes given. I even won a $25 gift card to JCT Kitchen. I can not wait to use it on a future date night.

There was plenty of appetizers on hand, a dj spinning tunes, and I sampled a new beer by the name of Birra Mirosa. It was light and refreshing. I recommend it for anyone who may not be a beer lover, but  periodically wants a cold beer.

I also met a couple of lovely curvy fashionistas who were werking their curves. Yes, werking with an e! I am always happy to see fellow fabulous curvy girls .

Crock-Pot Enchiladas

July 5, 2012 By 21 Comments

I love Mexican food, actually love is an understatement. I could eat it. Every. Day! One of my favorite Mexican dishes to cook at home is enchiladas. However, with the heat wave we’ve had recently in Atlanta, there is absolutely no way I’m turning on my oven anytime soon to cook any of my favorite Mexican entrees. So I thought, “Why not break out my Crock-Pot?!” Seriously, if you don’t have a Crock-Pot you are losing. It’s truly one of God’s greatest gift to humanity, period. A Crock-Pot is affordable, helps utilize time, and is so easy to use that anyone could throw a few items in it and come away with a hearty meal.

This recipe for Crock-Pot Enchiladas is super easy. I hope you enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of vegetarian meat crumbles or ground beef
  • 1 can (10 oz.) of Ro-Tel Hot Diced Tomatoes with Habaneros, drained
  • 1 can (15 oz.) of sweet whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 yellow onion, diced small
  • 1 small can of chopped olives
  • 1/2 cup of green onions, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Adobo seasoning
  • 1/4 to 1/2 of a taco seasoning package
  • 2 small or 1 large can of enchilada sauce
  • 1 1/2 cup finely shredded Colby & Monterrey Jack cheese
  • 1 1/2 cup finely shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • 12-14 6″-8″ corn tortillas

Note: If you do not prefer your enchiladas on the spicy side you can use a can of diced tomatoes with onions, instead of a can of diced tomatoes with habaneros. Also, you can adjust the seasoning measurements to taste. Last, I would recommend lightly frying the tortillas in oil first. Frying the tortillas make them more pliable, and will prevent them from breaking apart during rolling. However, if you are concerned with frying you can skip this additional step.

Directions

  • Assemble your ingredients.

  • In a large oiled skillet combine the beef or meat crumbles, corn, 1/2 of the diced onion, can of diced tomatoes with habaneros, and all seasoning.

  • Cook beef, or meat crumbles, until browned and vegetables are tender; drain.

  • Pour about a cup of enchilada sauce into the bottom of the crock pot and spread it around evenly.
  • Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the meat and vegetable mixture, 1 teaspoon of the olives, and about 1 teaspoon of both types of cheese into one of the tortillas. Roll up the tortilla and place it into the bottom of the crock pot. Repeat until the entire bottom of the crock pot is filled.

  • Spread a cup of enchilada sauce over the first layer of enchiladas, and sprinkle it with a 1/2 cup of the Colby & Monterrey Jack cheese and 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese.
  • Continue filling and placing the remaining tortillas to create a second layer. Repeat the layer of enchilada sauce and cheese on the second layer of enchiladas.
  • Sprinkle the remainder of the chopped olives, 1/2 cup of green onions, and the other half of the diced onions on top of the cheese.

The enchiladas will go great with black beans and rice, or a simple salad. You can also top them of with sour cream.

Happy Eating! XOXO, Miss Foodie Fab!

Socialites, So Totally 80s

July 2, 2012 By 6 Comments

Friday before last I enjoyed a fun night out with The Socialites, organized by fellow blogger Ally Mc Glam, for totally 80s fun and karaoke. It was fun times indeed. The 80′s prom was held at the Atkins Park Tavern in Smyrna. The idea was cute, but the execution not so much. Note: DJs can make or break an event. That’s all I’ll say on that. If you know what I mean, you KNOW what I mean. However, we we’re all geared up and ready to totally get our 80s on.

Many people at the event thrifted their outfits, while I simply shopped my own closet. I wore an animal print top and colored skinny jeans from Forever 21′s Faith line. My goal was to look 80′s punk. Not sure if I hit it out the box, but I thought I looked cute none the less.

Totally 80s, Miss Foodie Fab

After we left the 80′s prom we decided to continue our night at JR Crickets Lounge in Smyrna, and ba-byyy that was hilarity at its finest. The crowd seemed especially “turned up” that night. Second note: There is a difference in being ratchet, and liking ratchet music. Let’s just say some people in the crowd did not get that memo. End note. Anywhoo, we made quite the entrance in our 80s attire. The crowd was not ready for us, and was more urban than pop, but we floated right on in anyhow. We had a great time singing with the crowd, chair dancing, and busting out a couple of line dance moves on the floor.

I’m glad I met up with the other Socialites for the night. I thoroughly enjoyed the ladies in attendance, and I look forward to more events with them in the future.

XOXO, Miss Foodie Fab!
