New Blog for My Followers

I have had the Taste of Heaven blog since I was in college in 2011. I have done a lot of new recipes, writing and cooking since I first started. I will keep this blog up for everyone to still visit; however, I would like to introduce my new blog called Fat Chronicles. Please join the new and improved blog about my food journey.

Hometown Pizza

 

I feel like I’ve been missing in action. If you follow me on Instagram (@enjoyfood4ever), then you would know that I’ve been on a traveling spree. I finally took a trip home to Boston, Massachusetts. It’s been a minute since I’ve been there, but it still feels like home. This taste of heaven is pepperoni and cheese pizza from Sun Pizza. Whenever I go up north, I always keep my pizzas simple; all the toppings and extra fillings are unnecessary. The question of the day is: What makes a great a pizza? In my opinion, the cheese should taste like it’s been aged perfectly and grated straight from the block. The first bite should be like pure heaven. I love when the cheese strings from my mouth; that means it’s hot and fresh. Then the crust should have a slight crunch to pull everything together. As far as the sauce goes, it should be evenly spread across the pie and not taking over the cheese. If you can meet those guidelines, then you have a winner in my book.

FYI: Sun Pizza

FOOD TIP: Aged cheese can be enjoyed  with a classic glass of wine. 

Feature of the Week: Feb. 21-27

A Taste of Heaven would not exist if it were not for the audience, so I want to show my appreciation by dedicating Thursdays to the fans. If you eat or make a dish of your own and its camera ready, then you can email me your photos. I will review and post them on Thursday.  It’s important to remember presentation, style, and taste. I look forward to seeing your Taste of Heaven.

Description: I believe breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I always try to fill my fridge with healthy snacks and breakfast items. Since I’m a student, it’s hard to balance a busy schedule with nothing on the stomach, but somehow I make it work. This taste of heaven is French toast with fresh berries, walnuts, whipped cream, and turkey bacon. I’m in love with this feature just because it’s contains French toast!!! The berries and syrup are the perfect assets and the turkey bacon is definitely a plus. It looks filling, sweet, and delicious. (Side Note: My mouth is watering in class.) Great Job Darren!!!

Peachy

It’s been a long week, and you’re dying for a break. Well, I have the perfect solution. Every Wednesday I will offer a drink to the viewers for “Whine Down Wednesdays.” You don’t have to wait until the weekend arrives to enjoy a great drink. Take a break and have a sip of A Taste of Heaven. 

I was hanging out with the girls and we started craving for food and drinks. We kept it simple and ventured to Taco Mac for basketball, drinks, and dinner. This taste of heaven is a Peach margarita on the rocks. Initially, I was thrown off by the color of the drink, but after I took a sip, I knew everything was peachy. I’m not a lover of salted rims, so I chose sugar instead. Taco Mac offers a variety of margarita flavors, so I added the peach to my list. Besides this one, I recommend the raspberry or the blackberry margarita. It was my first time trying this margarita on the rocks, but it does taste stronger than the frozen. If you’re trying to turn up, then I would suggest ordering it over the rocks.

FYI: Taco Mac

FOOD TIP: Peaches are 89 percent water.

Description: The mushy gushy holiday that we’ve all been waiting for has arrived. Yes, I’m taking about Valentine’s Day. If you have a crush or a significant other, now is the time to express your love for them. Dinner, romantic getaways, and champagne are a few of the sweet things you can give your valentine. This taste of heaven is a bouquet of heart shaped pineapples, chocolate covered strawberries, and grapes. Edible bouquets are a creative way to surprise someone and they're perfect for keeping the sparkle in your relationship. Beautiful feature Kourtney!!! :D

The Baby Drinks

 

It’s been a long week, and you’re dying for a break. Well, I have the perfect solution. Every Wednesday I will offer a drink to the viewers for “Whine Down Wednesdays.” You don’t have to wait until the weekend arrives to enjoy a great drink. Take a break and have a sip of A Taste of Heaven. 

I had just landed in Atlanta airport, and I was eager to grab brunch in with my friends and family. Since we were close to Midtown, we ventured to Joe’s on Juniper. Not only were going for brunch, but we were also going to celebrate my cousin’s 21^st birthday. Finally, my baby cousin was old enough to have drinks with me. Since she was a newbie to the scene, I wanted her first drink to be “cute.” This taste of heaven is a Pineapple Upside Down martini. Its whipped vodka, pineapple juice, and grenadine. The Pineapple Upside Down martini is similar to the shot from Ray’s New York Pizza; the only difference is the martini glass that it’s served in. I wanted to start her off small because our next stop was the Daiquiri Factory. (Side Note: Kevin Hart voice: “It’s about to go DOWN!”)

FYI: Joe's on Juniper

FOOD TIP: Pinnacle martinis are only $5 at Joe's on Juniper.

Diner Dinners

I can never figure out what I want for dinner. Sometimes I want seafood, and other times I want soul food, Mexican, barbecue, Caribbean, or Chinese. Since I’m so indecisive, diners are usually the best choice for me. Before we went out in Washington D.C., we visited The Diner for dinner. This taste of heaven is cornmeal crusted catfish, macaroni and cheese, and sautéed spinach. The catfish taste like it was fresh from the water, and it was lightly fried golden the way I like it. The macaroni and cheese was extra cheesy, and the spinach was cooked with fresh garlic and butter. After I took the first bite, I couldn’t put my fork down. I was anxious for more (Side Note: I was debating on ordering another round).

FYI: The Diner

FOOD TIP: Spinach can be grown year around.
