Healthy Living

It’s important to live a healthy life with a balanced diet. I wanted to make something light for dinner, so I thought fish would be a great choice. This taste of heaven is pan seared tilapia over white rice with a mixed green salad and fresh tomatoes. The tilapia is topped with a tomato relish, and it’s positioned next a salad with garlic croutons, shredded cheese, and crushed black pepper. Overall, the meal was very nutritious and well balanced.

FOOD TIP: Tomatoes are rich in biotin.

Feature of the Week: Jun. 28-July 4

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: This taste of heaven is a Mighty Meats pizza. If you're a lover of pepperoni, sausage, ground beef, ham, and applewood smoked bacon, then this feature is for you. The red sauce pizza is loaded with meat and mozzarella cheese. The crust is fluffy, buttery, and golden. I wish I could steal a slice of the freshly made pizza now. Every time I eat pizza I fold my slice in half, like my father, because it makes it fun to eat. I love this feature because it's a bold and hardy choice that's made for the big dogs. Awesome selection Davis!

Patron Passion Fruit

It’s been a long week, and you’re dying for a break. Well, I have the perfect solution. I’m introducing Whine Down Wednesdays. Every Wednesday I will offer a drink to the viewers. 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.

Finally, I created a drink that everyone loves. I call this taste of heaven Patron Passion Fruit. It contains V8 Fusion Peach Mango, Patron, sliced strawberries, and cherries on the rocks. This mixture is fruitylicious. I sliced fresh cherries and strawberries for extra flavor and visual appeal. The fresh fruit floating in the Patron and peach mango mixture made the drink seductive. Making drinks is a fun activity that can bring out your creative side. I want to perfect the Patron Passion Fruit in the future. My plan is to experiment with different fruits and alcohols. I’m thinking pineapple and kiwi will be in my next feature.

FOOD TIP: A handful of cherries before bed naturally regulates the sleep cycle.

Dressy Tots

I enjoy having drinks and creative appetizers. I went to Hooters for lunch with some friends, and I ordered tater tots. These tots were dressed in sour cream, chives, cheese, and bacon bits. The serving size was large enough to share with the table, and it went perfect with a Bud Light Lime. These tater tots remind me of the Cheesy Boy from Chili’s, except the little tots are bite size. I like the crunch of the tot and the coolness of the sour cream together. I almost ate half of the platter, but I wanted to save room for my chicken sliders. I would recommend eating the dressy tots with a sandwich or wings. It’s the ultimate combo.

FYI: Hooters

FOOD TIP: Caviar and sour cream make the perfect marriage.

Chinese Boxes

I am from Boston, Massachusetts, and we have some of the best Chinese food there. Every time I go home, I have to order some Chinese food from the Peking. It’s something about the fried pork rice, wings, and spare ribs that keep me coming back for more. Unfortunately, I am very far from Boston, so I have to find local Chinese spots in Atlanta. This taste of heaven is Shrimp and Broccoli with pork fried rice. I usually get egg foo young, but I was craving for shrimp, so I chose this dinner entrée. I didn’t want to make a mess on the couch, so I ate my Chinese food on a box while on the floor in front of the TV. Eating on the floor actually made the experience more enjoyable. The only thing I was missing was chopsticks.

FYI: China Taste

FOOD TIP: China was the first country to use chopsticks, and then it spread to other countries.

Description: This taste of heaven is Firecracker Chicken Wraps. Its tender shredded chicken that’s mixed with cheese and spice in a fried tortilla. The little wraps are cut at angle and plated with lettuce, chopped tomato, and a firecracker sauce. Then avocado lime sauce is drizzled above the finished product for taste and presentation. This appetizer looks srumdiliuptious. I’m ready to dive in and eat it myself. The colors draw the customer in and everything looks fresh and delicious. I would love to make this feature at home to share with friends and family. I think finger food is a great way to start the party.

BloodyRita

It’s been a long week, and you’re dying for a break. Well, I have the perfect solution. I’m introducing Whine Down Wednesdays. Every Wednesday I will offer a drink to the viewers. 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.  

Last Wednesday I confessed to loving margaritas, but I tried something different this time. I ventured to Daiquiri Factory for the famous frozen daiquiris. This taste of heaven is a BloodyRita. It’s a frozen house margarita mixed with strawberry daiquiri. I was definitely taking a walk on the wild side with this one. I ordered a medium sized drink because I was too scared to get a large. The frozen mixture was so cold that my straw was icy. The thick uniform gave me brain freeze a couple times and it quickly crept up on me. My waitress wanted me to order another one, but I told her I was too small for the task. If you’re looking for a fun time with over 12 daiquiri choices, then Daiquiri Factory is the place for you. WARNING: If you try them all, you might regret it later.

FYI: Daiquiri Factory

FOOD TIP: The Habitual Violator and the Green Apple mixed is another great choice.
