Macy’s Sizzle Showdown

I am a member of Everywhere Society. I was compensated for this post. All opinions are mine….you already know.

On Saturday Macy’s Culinary Council Sizzle Showdown went down at Macy’s Lenox Square Mall location. The contest brought together top grillers from across the nation to compete for $10K and the title of Macy’s Great American Grilling Guru.

The dishes were unique and many paid homage to the region from which the contestant was from.

Of course we were able to taste test many of the dishes, and while I can’t remember the names of all of them they were indeed tasty. We were supplied the recipes and please don’t be surprised when you see me post one here on the blog.

The judges were Cat Cora, Marc Forgione, and Stephanie Izard. They had their work cut out for them because the food was delicious. Leah Lyons was the winner and her Surf and Turf was the one dish that I didn’t get a taste of.  Congratulations to her, what a lucky lady!

Summer and grilling are truly great American past times. I can do a little something, something on the grill but nothing like these contestants or my husband. Be sure to be on the look out for Macy’s Culinary Council events in your area. You are sure to have a great time and get pointers on how to make great food.

Of course I got to kick it with some of my favorite Atlanta bloggers in the process.

Weekend Wrap Up

Hey!

Hope everyone had a great weekend. We were fairly busy around these parts, just enough not to be bored or overwhelmed. The weather was absolutely amazing. I am sure we are in for one more cold snap before its all said and done but this weekend was the epitome of perfect spring weather.

Saturday morning I spoke on the subject of internet safety and social media etiquette to a group of young ladies that are enrolled in a program that I volunteer with. Later that evening I attended a formal event at which I took no photos..sorry!  I arrived home some time after midnight.

Sunday morning, I woke up and Lil Mama and I hit the road. We drove about 3.5 hours south of here to pick up my bonus daughter because she will be spending her Spring Break with us. Mr. and my son stayed behind so it was just the girls and I. Let me say I hate driving and it is even worse to do that type of drive and then have to turn around and come straight back…I made it with the help of some coffee and an extremely talkative 2 year old.

..about that sticky console…my car is always a mess. ALWAYS

Traveling

Got to Tifton, did a quick pit stop to include gas, the purchase of a blue Icee and some Zaxby’s and we were back on the road.

Of course they were no help on the way back, they slept and I used that time to think in peace and quiet. The road will do that to you. Although I hate driving I am thankful for those few hours of road time. Got a lot of things figured out, or at least in theory. I’m actually excited about the coming week. Not to mention I get to spend it with both of my girls.
