welcome

let's start with brief introductions.  my name is j. and i totally enjoy good food. several years ago i started running for exercise and i've kept at it because i've found it counter balances the eating.  i pretty much run so that i can eat.   yum atl will chronicle all of the yumminess i encounter mostly in and around atlanta, ga:  restaurant reviews and suggestions, recipes, and my favorites.  

speaking of both favorites and suggestions, i have a recommendation for you right off the bat.   

don't those look divine?  sometimes desserts LOOK great but then when you taste them, you discover they aren't worth the calories.   Whole Foods has these mini fruit tarts and those chocolate covered things, which are actually little balls of cheesecake.   these are soooo good and so worth it.   you want to try them. trust me.  they are the perfect size and the perfect amount of richness.   the mini tarts are just right - not too sweet.  they are 99cents each or $9.99 for a dozen.  they are so ideal for a simple easy item for dessert after dinner or for a party.


let me know how you like them.
