Hey Madison at Schilling residents! During the holidays, it's a tradition for many people for the scent of gingerbread to waft through their homes. Have you ever wanted to make gingerbread men, houses, etc., but never really had the know  how? Well, if you watch the video below, they give you step by step directions on making gingerbread men their way. Do... [Read more...]

Hey everyone! Do we have any new residents out there? If so, welcome to Madison at Schilling Farms! What about anyone who is new to the Memphis/Collierville area? Well, I think the best introduction to the Memphis/Collierville area would be to hear the music and taste the food. The City Tasting Tour does just that. Have you ever heard the... [Read more...]

During the summer months, and any time really, the greater Memphis area has so much going on! And it's not only focused on one group; everyone gets a chance to show their style and culture at anyone of Memphis' great cultural festival. Along with the Memphis Italian Festival happening this week, there's the Latino News Festival. It will take place... [Read more...]

How do  you feel about having your food prepared fresh at home...and you don't have to do ANY work. That's what Chef Tom does. Starting at $180, Chef Tom, a chef specializing in vegan food, will come to your home (or wherever you are), cook the meal (with the ingredients and utensils that he brings), and clean up afterwards after vacuum sealing your food. That's... [Read more...]

Popcorn can be more than a delicious  snack to catch a movie with. It can even be healthy, provided you don't dump heaps of butter on it. There are plenty of other flavors that you can try: Parmesan cheese and cayenne, rosemary and olive oil, and cumin and chili powder. Now, I can't vouch for these flavors as I have never tried them, but reviewers... [Read more...]

Hundreds of teams are competing for over $90 K worth of prizes and of course, bragging rights. Teams often adorn their areas with elaborate decoration, trophies attesting to their boasting rights, have... [Read more...]

I'm a cupcake fanatic. This is basically they are small, sweet, and portable. :) I'm always on the go, so I love it when my food can travel with me. :) The only thing bad about cupcakes (trust me, I had to dig deep to find something bad about cupcakes) is that the calories can really add up, based upon the ingredients that you use. A healthy trick... [Read more...]

Hey Madison @ Schilling, are you ready for Fair on the Square? Fair on the Square is an annual event held in the Collierville Square. It offers a wide variety of arts and crafts, food, and entertainment for people of all ages. In my opinion, the best thing about the festival is the food. Then again, the best thing about any festival in my opinion... [Read more...]

Yes, I know. The name kind of throws you off right? When I think cheesesteak, I’m thinking of a lovely concoction with shredded steak, Swiss chess, green peppers, and buttery toasted buns. Not a taco. Well it seems like cooks at El Toro Loco are on a different mind set than everyone else. This is where they serve the cheesecake tacos. And it’s... [Read more...]

Favorite Sesame Street character: Cookie Monster, hands down. Why? Because we share the same love of chewy, portable, on-the-go treats: cookies. :) I have a couple of favorites. Chocolate Chip holds the highest honor (as long as they are chewy, and not crunchy. Who wants to eat a chocolate chip potato chip?), while sugar (Great American Cookie), white chocolate... [Read more...]
