While this year’s Super Bowl Sunday will be short of large gatherings at bars and each others homes, we can still enjoy the game at home with GOOD food. I mean that’s my favorite part of watching the game, eating hot wings and pizza. 1/2 cup pickled jalapeño, depends on how spicy you like your salsa 1 can black or pinto beans, drained and rinsed 1 jar of spicy salsa (seriously, an extra spicy store bought jar salsa will do) Turn oven on broil. If you are trying to eat a healthier version of this appetizer, then use less cheese and substitute tortilla chips with gluten free chips or even sweet potato chips.

I’ve combined a rolling list of Black-Owned Businesses in Atlanta by category of food, health & beauty, online businesses, and creative services. Most of these businesses are places that I have dined at before, products/services that I’ve used before, and relationships that I’ve built with people in Atlanta. Let me know if you would like me to add a businesses (and links to their profile), and I’d be happy to include them! Boyfriend Material, Stylish Men’s Loungewear & Apparel (ladies, he has a Girlfriend Material collection too!)

I love waking up in the morning and getting ready to go grab a hot cafe au lait and a warm croissant or quiche from my favorite local bake shop. A couple of my favorite outdoor markets are the Inman Park Farmers Market (open Saturdays from 9-1pm) and the Peachtree Road Farmer’s Market (open Saturdays from 8:30-12pm). Some of my favorite fall scents are Welcome Home (literally smells like warm Biscoff cookies) and Marshmallow Fireside available at Bath and Body Works. Visit the Mountains to watch the Leaves Change colors Gather your friends and some car snacks to brace yourself for drive up to the North GA mountains to see the fall foliage take place!
