Green Dot Stables can be found in the south side of Corktown. When it opened a couple years ago it was a desolate area, now it’s next to new construction homes and Johnny Noodle King is across the street.* The new venture intrigued me in 2012 and even though I hardly went out to lunch, … More Green Dot

It seems like everyone had a Friendsgiving this year and we were no exception. I wasn’t trying to be trendy, I simply like the idea. Last year we had a brunch for our wedding party to celebrate our anniversary. Since our schedule was tight in October, I decided against doing it again; however, I still … More Friendsgiving
When I was younger cheesecake was my favorite dessert. Pumpkin cheesecake was the best of both worlds. Surprisingly, while I’ve tried my hands at some challenging desserts, I’ve never attempted cheesecake. I won’t go as far to say I made a real cheesecake this weekend since this is no-bake; however, it is a lovely substitute. … More Easy Pumpkin Cheesecake
A testament to true love, Danny went on Pinterest for party ideas. He found signature Gone with the Wind cocktail recipes that are fantastic! I’ll definitely be making them again (this weekend for example) and highly recommend the Rhett Butler. The Rhett 2oz Southern Comfort 1/2oz fresh lime juice 1/2oz fresh lemon juice 1/2 oz … More Happy Friday!
Detroit’s best happy hour is at Roast. That already sipped on glass of wine, filling Roast burger (English muffin, beef patty, cheese with a fried egg), and filled container of fries cost $11. As you can imagine Roast is popular and there is always a fight for seats at the bar (you have to be … More Happy Hour
The holiday season is in our midst. I imagine most people will be tasked with bringing a dish to a large gathering at one point or the other in the next few weeks; therefore, November’s meals are really sides. Many of these are my go to favorites: zucchini casserole, cranberries, mac & cheese and corn … More November Meals
Miracles happen! The Lions managed a victory over the Falcons Sunday morning and are first in our division. If you follow football even a little you will understand how impressive this is. I credit this victory to the delicious English breakfast I made in tribute to the London game. As an Anglophile, I welcome any … More An English Breakfast
In the shadow of the Ambassador Bridge, surrounded by the remnants of riverfront industry, Johnny Noodle King stands out in bright red. The new hot spot isn’t exactly on the beaten path but I think that’s what makes Detroit unique. Entrepreneurs are taking risks and stimulating growth in parts of the city that a lot … More Johnny Noodle King
This weekend Danny and I discovered a new ‘favorite thing’: Bon Bon Bon in Hamtramck. Yes, Hamtramck and not Detroit. However, the 2.089 sq miles that make up Hamtramck are located within the boundaries of Detroit; therefore, I’m going to say it counts. Hamtramck will be explored more at a later date but today’s post … More Bon Bon Bon
