the lawrence

The Lawrence {Midtown} was another Atlanta stop. Our brunch was delicious and made with quality ingredients. Atlanta also has amazing service.  Servers who are excited about the menu and can give a good recommendation are the best. Our own server gave us a brunch discount and held the door for us as we left.

cowboy cookies

Why are they called cowboy cookies? People say cowboys used to make these cookies for their travels. They were easy to make and filled with nutrients. It's a cowboy's powerbar. 

So...what's in a cowboy cookie?--the main ingredient is rolled oats. I added chocolate chips and pretzels in mine.

well hello there atlanta!

Our first stop in Atlanta ever...Ria's Bluebird! {recommended by my favorite Atlantan} And ohmygoodness our meal was amazing.  We ordered the buttermilk pancakes a.k.a. "the world's best pancakes" --N.Y. Times with toasted pecans & caramelized bananas.  Miss this place already.   

today's soup : pear & parsnip with a really yummy biscuit

And this is the bluebird burrito {2 eggs scrambled, skillet potatoes, white cheddar, pinto or black beans, topped with salsa verde} with sausage links. The best breakfast burrito we've ever tasted.
