It was another action packed weekend. Thursday: Danny and I stayed downtown after work and hit up Dangerously Delicious Pies. Against my better judgement I tried something new and regretted it. The sausage, fennel, tomato pie wasn’t bad but it wasn’t as delectable as the S.M.O.G and I had food envy. Then we met Cara, … More Weekend Update
One of the highlights of our trip to NYC was the discovery of City Bakery’s french toast. I wanted to check it out for a Gossip Girl experience and lucked out that Danny decided to try what turned out to be one of their signature offerings. Since we’re not going back to the Big Apple … More City Bakery French Toast
My recipe of the week was Scallion Meatballs with Soy-Ginger Glaze from Smitten Kitchen. I served it with Jasmine rice and broccoli to make the suggested appetizer a meal. It was easy to make; however, I’m not sure my glaze was as thick as it was meant to be (perhaps I’d sneak in a thickener … More Scallion Meatballs with Soy-Ginger Glaze
Crain’s Detroit Business provided me with a list of new things to try this week in an article about Midtown. Dangerously Delicious Pies stood out in the list for a few reasons. One, I’ve never head of a restaurant dedicated to pie. Two, I LOVE pie. Three, the founder is currently competing on The Next … More Dangerously Delicious Pies
Hamtramck is a small city inside of Detroit, known for it’s traditionally Polish population. Over the years I have heard good things about Hamtramck; however, I always assumed it was like the other city inside Detroit – Highland Park. Highland Park looks like the apocalypse happened. Thankfully, Hamtramck does not. It’s a cute little city. … More Hamtramck
Yesterday I had an impromptu Girls’ Night with Cara and Kristin. We ate outside, went in the pool and walked for ice cream. A perfect summer evening. To accompany the plethora of leftover pulled pork, Cara brought a zucchini from her garden to make fries. I almost died when I saw the zucchini! It’s huge! … More Zucchini
Danny LOVES the slow cooker and wants to use it whenever possible. This week he picked out a pulled pork recipe from The Food Network website. Thankfully it tastes delicious because we have a ton and will be eating it for the days to come. For a side, I made some homemade french fries. They … More Root Beer Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Although we love Detroit, we actually live in Plymouth. It’s a nice little town and sentimental to us because when we first started dating we would get ice cream and walk around. At the time Danny hated it. He felt it was over run by kids in middle and high school. Now he’s more accepting … More Pizza e Vino 849
I had twenty people over for Father’s Day brunch this weekend. I love having space to entertain and things went really well. I decided to try my hand at a cake again for the occasion. Normally such feats don’t end well so I don’t know why I decided to brave a rather complicated recipe. Nevertheless, … More Bee Sting Cake
The sun was shining in Metro Detroit this week and Danny and I took full advantage of it. Tuesday night we went to downtown Plymouth for ice cream and a stroll around town. We use to do it all the time when we first started dating so it was sweet and romantic to do it … More Food Truck Fun
