Pho Bac

IMG_4453Today’s comfort food is Pho from Pho Bac on Buford Highway across from the CDCIMG_4455This is the most craveable dish in town.pho1They bring you a plate of sprouts and basil and jalapeños.pho2If you see that little bowl next to the plate it is filled with Chili sauce that I dip the steak from the pho into, yummy!pho 5You can add any of these to help flavor your pho but I love the richness of the broth as is.

Again, if there is anything you would like to see specifically let me know.

Matthew’s Cafeteria

It’s another overcast chilly day in Atlanta. So what’s a girl to do? Go get some comfort food. Some down home country cooking at Matthew’s Cafeteria in Tucker, GA. Matthews 3It is located in Downtown Tucker. They serve a meat and two and sweet tea (but I noticed they are serving Lemonade also and unsweet tea).

This is just yummy comfort food.Matthews 5This is Salisbury Steak and green beans and mashed potatoes, along with sweet tea mixed with unsweet tea.Matthews 2

I am going to be featuring great places for Staycationers to get the best food in different areas of town. Let me know what you are interested in.

The Northside BeltLine Trail

Another day another trail….IMG_4429All around Atlanta there are BeltLine Trails. This one is about a mile long and runs from Bobby Jones Golf Course IMG_4441This is a running, biking and walking path. The path runs along Tanyard Creek.IMG_4450There are two great playgrounds an open field that turns into a dog park when people get off of work. It goes underneath a railroad trestle.

It then goes through Ardmore Park IMG_3409You can walk up to Ardmore Road and then go up to Peachtree Road and follow it back down to Colonial Hills Road and complete the loop. IMG_4448I will show you some more trails this year, whew there are so many.

Walking the Trail Again

IMG_3996It has been so rainy for so long in Atlanta, it was so beautiful today. IMG_4394The trail starts out on a sidewalk and changes over to a boardwalk through the trees.IMG_4404It is so peaceful and tranquil. IMG_4400I should do a video so I can walk you through the trail with me. IMG_4425Then there is this really cool tree. It is the kind of tree that looks like it will come alive and grab you. Unlike the tree that sticks its tongue out.IMG_4428
