I have been on the hunt for the perfect egg ever since trying the uova da raviolo (ravioli with an egg inside) at Osteria Mozza. Heaven!

cheese farmers

I get a little emotional thinking about how amazing the farmers market is. A lot of markets say they support local farmers but the majority of their produce comes from California a week after it has been harvested. This on the other hand is directly from the farmers (families). I didn't see one stand that wasn't from Alabama. Stop paying the middle man and support local farmers! Oh, and if you want okra get there early...it's a hot item.

In my opinion Mi Casita is the best Mexican food in the Ham, or should I say best tacos? It's authentic, super affordable (2 people can eat and have a few beers for under $20), and they are open 7 days a week! My mouth is watering just thinking about a tasty carnitas taco! GO!
