]]>Ok, you can’t go to the south without having fried chicken. Super Chix is the perfect place to get your friend chicken fix! It’s located in Dunwoody and is a must-visit.
If you’re a foodie who likes a good ambiance, this is the place for you. The entire restaurant is aesthetically pleasing, including how the food is plated! Plus, the cocktails here are always a 10/10. P.S. ladies night is every Thursday featuring $9 cocktails!
I know, more fried chicken but if you’ve never been to the south, Chick Fil A is a MUST. The chicken nuggets, waffle fries, and Polynesian sauce are to die for. At least make sure to grab breakfast one day and get the breakfast chicken sandwich. You won’t regret it!

]]>It’s really just logical when you think about it. People add hot sauce to their food in order to add flavor and a “kick”, but where does it end? Some people end up getting to a point where they need the hot sauce in order for their food to be remotely interesting at all. This can result in all food seeming dull and bland unless you add hot sauce to it, and that’s not what you want.
What you want is a tasteful dose of occasional hot sauce. You want it to actually taste spicy when you use it—because if your tolerance is so high that no hot sauce seems hot, you may have trouble appreciating your food for what it is. So use hot sauce responsibly!

]]>The thing about spending money on food is that we don’t realize how much food we actually waste. We make meals every day, and whatever we don’t finish, we throw out. It’s totally fine to throw out food because eventually, it goes bad. But if you go into your week knowing that you’re cooking for the entire week, you’ll make sure to freeze whatever you don’t eat, and you’ll do a much better job preserving it.
Another thing to point out is that by preparing meals at the start of every week, there are rarely any surprises. You do a lot better at budgeting your grocery expenses because you’re on top of everything before it happens. Sure, you can splurge for a meal out every now and then, but that can become a rare occasion if you’re trying to save money. And ultimately, you’re more in control of your finances, and that’s never a bad thing.

]]>Balsamic vinegar is traditionally made from crushed grapes, aged for at least 12 years in wooden barrels. It’s best when added to dishes with minimal heat or even drizzled on as a finishing touch and is delicious in salad dressings, on bruschetta, or with fruit and cheese.
ACV is made from unpasteurized apple cider and is available in both filtered and unfiltered varieties. Some sources tout unfiltered apple cider vinegar as a health tonic, but for culinary purposes, filtered is best. It lasts longer and adds a fresh, tangy flavor to everything from salad dressings to barbecue sauces.
Vinegar made from fermented rice is a culinary staple in the cuisines of many Asian cultures. It has a lightly sweet flavor and is used in a wide variety of dishes, sauces, and even in the preparation of sushi rice.

]]>Freezing can work to preserve certain vegetables, but it can also change the texture and limit the recipes we can use them for later. Fortunately, there are a few tips and tricks we’ve discovered that have helped us keep the vegetables we buy fresh for longer. If you can relate to our struggle, give them a try.
Greens need moisture to stay crisp and fresh, but too much will make them soggy and wilted. The best way to prolong the life of lettuce, kale, and other greens is to store them in a container lined with damp paper towels. Just be sure that the towels aren’t soaking wet.
Carrots, like greens, need the right amount of moisture to maintain their crunchy texture. The most important thing to do when storing carrots is to remove the leafy green tops. Then, place your unpeeled carrots in a container of water in the fridge until you’re ready to use them. Change the water every few days if you plan to store them for a longer period.
Unlike other vegetables, your potatoes will go bad much more quickly if stored in the fridge. Potatoes should be kept in a dark, cool place like a pantry. The temperature of your refrigerator is too cold and will cause the starches in potatoes to break down.

]]>The post Do You Always Need to Try New Foods? appeared first on foodisinthehouse.com.
]]>Yes, we’ll start off by agreeing that trying things out—for the most part—is a good thing. If there’s a tasty food that you’ve closed yourself off to your entire life—whether it’s eggplant, hearts of palm, or blueberries—there may be a lot to gain from pushing yourself and taking that leap of faith.
However, while it’s good to try new foods out, you don’t need to adopt this cutthroat mentality that if you don’t do it it means you’re not an open person. Sometimes people just like things, and sometimes people don’t. There’s nothing wrong with nothing wanting to eat something, even if—dare we say it—you’ve never eaten it before, even as a kid. Yup. There is such a thing as being thrown off by a smell, or even the way something looks. You don’t always have to eat something to know you won’t like it.
So yes, feel free to open your mind and try something new if you feel like it. But if you don’t—definitely don’t let others judge you for it.

]]>When we eat our food outside, we’re combining the delicious tastes we’re consuming with the beautiful natural environment of the outdoors. Just like there’s so much nature in food, there’s also so much nature outdoors—and so when we combine those things we create something special.
You might hate the idea of eating outside because you feel like you don’t want to deal with all the flies that may come, or bees that may sting, or wind that may blow your food away. Yes, we agree those things can be very annoying, but they can also be a good way for you to let go and not worry about the little things that don’t matter in life. If you can move past these things, you’ll find yourself more free, and this can actually improve your mental health—and certainly add freshness to your life.

]]>You can fill a charcuterie board with cheeses, meats, fruits, nuts, and many other things. To balance out all the delicious flavors, you need something neutral—like some bread or crackers. You’ll never go wrong with plain-flavored crackers as they’ll let the other foods shine. But if you’re up for exploring different possibilities, here are a few options.
Crackers come in many different shapes and sizes, so even if you decide to use the plain ones it doesn’t mean your charcuterie board will be boring. For more flavor, try herb crackers, fig and olive crackers, oat crackers, or crackers with nuts. Make sure the crackers you pick to compliment the meats and cheeses you plan to serve. One way to do this is to try the combinations before serving. It’s a good idea to limit the cracker selection to two or three per board, so you can include a plain flavor and one or two more creative options.

]]>If you only have a couple of minutes in the morning to get your breakfast ready, it’s still possible to do it. Spray some nonstick spray in a mug, crack a few eggs, add a bit of water or milk, salt and pepper to taste, and mix everything together with a fork. Microwave in 30-second intervals and stir in between them. Three intervals should be enough!
If you need to prepare a lot of eggs in the morning—maybe you’ve had guests sleep over or you have a big family—a muffin tin is your best friend. Add a tablespoon of water in each cup before cracking an egg and bake for 10-13 minutes at 350 degrees (180 Celsius).
After you’re done slicing your hard-boiled eggs, use the egg slicer to cut fruits and vegetables evenly. Try it with mushrooms, kiwis, strawberries, and more.

]]>Carbonara is always made with spaghetti, pepper, Parmesan/pecorino cheese, egg, and pancetta (or even better, guanciale di maiale, delicious diced meat that comes from the same region as carbonara, the Lazio region. There’s no room for cream or milk in carbonara, and this is also true for garlic and onions.
Ask nearly any Italian and they will tell you that fish and cheese should never touch on a plate. This means you shouldn’t add Parmesan cheese over seafood pasta, for example. Some even go as far as to ask you not to follow the course of fish with a course that includes cheese.
Italians love long meals that allow them to enjoy each course separately. Get ready for the endless string of pastas, risottos, soups, meats, fish, cheeses, salads, fruits, and desserts! Expect some coffee and digestive liquors at the end of the meal.
