Great Apps For iphone

Recently I became an iphone user. I absolutely love it. The best part of using an iphone are the apps. I have three that I can't live without.

WineStein Pro- WineStein Pro App is a wine calculator that pairs wine with your meals. Giving you a score of 10 as to its compatibility with the meal , WineStein explains what type of wine you are buying and how much you should expect to pay for it.

Cool Off



I don't know about anywhere else, but today in Atlanta it was hotter than Kim Kardashian in room full of professional athletes. All I wanted to do was grab something cool to drink. Once I got home I decided to make blackberry lemonade. Here is the recipe I used.

Eaters Unite!







Friday night I had to buy a size 36 DD bra and a waist smoother. I complained to my good friend, Sassha, about needing to lose 10 pounds. She recommend I go on the master cleanse fast for 10 days. Hah! Me not eat! Yeah right ! I told Renada ( another bestie) Sassha's suggestion and we laughed for a least 5 minutes straight. Her facebook status Saturday was "Eaters Unite!"


So in the spirit of eaters uniting Jaylan (my son) and I had Five Guys on Sunday for lunch. OMG I forgot how wonderful an old fashion burger, fries and a cherry coke can be!

Dekalb Farmer's Market















Today I went to the Dekalb Farmer's Market. It is one of my favorite places in Atlanta. You can find produce, wine, bread, fresh cuts of meat, nuts, flowers (almost anything your heart desires). I picked up some brioche to make superb french toast for my Easter brunch. I also got a good deal on spices and dried fruit among other things. My cousin, Hayah, and I couldn't resist grabbing some chocolate pecan cookies before leaving.
