Slowly but surely I’m forcing myself back to real life. As much as I would love to live in my baby bubble forever, I can’t. I’m grateful to have a few more weeks at home and I’m not going to wait until the last minute to prepare for life as a working mom. Agenda items … More Getting into Gear
We are massively behind on the Detroit food scene. There are simply too many restaurants and not enough time or money – although we’d probably find the time if money wasn’t a factor… To celebrate our birthdays and eat food that tastes better and costs less than the Palace of Auburn Hills, we checked out … More Bobcat Bonnie’s
Danny and I have had some great luck with meals lately. Last month’s Tandoori chicken and the kale goat cheese pizza with balsamic drizzle were made on multiple occasions. This month, I want to use the grill more and eat more vegetables. Bon appetit! Chopped Asian BBQ Chicken Salad Beaucoup Seafood Chowder One-Pot Skinny Pasta … More June Meals
Batch Brewery is a long anticipated addition to the Detroit beer scene. The nanobrewery is the first of its kind in the city and a winner of the 2013 Hatch Detroit business incubator contest. The location couldn’t be better, a short walk from Mudgie’s, it’s tucked into the Corktown neighborhood bar and perfect gathering space … More Batch Brewing Company
This post is long overdue. I don’t like to make declarative statements because I don’t want to lose credibility but Mudgie’s is my absolute favorite place to eat in the city and the place I go to most often. It is regularly voted the best of Detroit and for good reason. Their deli sandwiches are beyond … More My Favorite Place In Detroit: Mudgie’s
I’m ready for spring and was instinctively drawn to fresh ingredients and light foods. Our current favorite ingredients also found their way on the list: balsamic vinegar, brie, crab, and artichoke. Amazingly, there is no truffle oil! Enjoy. Skillet Taco Pasta Shells Crispy Tandoori Chicken Drumsticks with Mango Chutney Crab Cakes with Herb Salad Honey … More May Meals
I don’t like using other people’s pictures for the blog but since I live a normal life, my cupcake holders for this week were leftover from Halloween and my vanity overpowers my desire to be original. Consequently, check out The Vanilla Bean Blog for the original recipe. Since Lent is over, I’m back to making … More Buttermilk Cake with Blood Orange Frosting
It’s truly impossible to describe the massive change going on in Detroit. The city isn’t what people would expect in many ways. To some it might look like an ‘up and coming’ city and to others it probably looks like it has a long way to go. Both views have merit and it’s exciting to … More Jolly Pumpkin
My hands-down no competition favorite coffee in life is the Pure Evil Latte from the Urban Bean Co. Why haven’t I posted about it sooner? Plain and simple, I’m intimidated. This hipster joint is way too cool for me and I can’t bring myself to ask for an interview or take pictures inside. I did … More The Urban Bean Co.
It’s a new month, new season and I feel inspired. Since becoming debt-free our spending has been a bit out of control and food is one of our biggest downfalls. We have been eating out far too much and grocery shopping way too often. It’s back to diligent meal planning and weekly trips to the … More April Meals
