My sister suffers from multiple dietary restrictions and I am always keeping my eye out for recipes she can eat. The problem I continually face is that I find a recipe that meets one need but not another. Such was the case with this delicious non-traditional cheesecake. I’d never made a cheesecake before and didn’t … More Gluten Free Almond Lemon Ricotta Cake
Lauren BaCall (Betty Perske) 1924-2014 My avid admiration for certain things generally occurs unknowingly. I’m better at identifying triggers these days but sometimes it just happens. That’s not the case with Old Hollywood. Lauren BaCall introduced me to a glamorous world as exciting and wonderful as the movies the studios produced. One of our favorite … More Lauren BaCall
When I first saw the trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy I had no interest in seeing the film, a talking racoon and tree seemed like too much. But then we saw Thor 2 and Captain America 2 and they were so fantastic that I started to give MARVEL the benefit of the doubt. The … More Guardians of the Galaxy
I found a use for beer I can appreciate! An Etsy shop sells Michigan brewed soap, including Detroit’s own Kid Rock Badass beer. A fun gift idea for beer lovers. I’m going to have to order one to see what it smells like. On to the weekend. Tomorrow I assume some bridesmaid responsibilities for … More Happy Friday!
Where do people in Detroit drink beer? Well for the last 110 years they’ve been going to Jacoby’s (pronounced JaKobe’s ala Kobe Bryant). The small saloon is located downtown and serves delicious German food. Danny ordered Jager Schnitzel and on the bartender’s recommendation I ordered the German Sausage Dinner with knockwurst and bratwurst. Both were … More Jacoby’s

I don’t drink beer. I don’t like it at all but I’m surrounded by beer connoisseurs and am aware that Michigan’s brewery scene is quite impressive. So much so that a recent list named 4 Michigan beers on a top 20 list of the best beers in the world! Nationally, Michigan is one of the … More Brewed in Detroit
Like many little girls I wanted to be a ballerina as a child. Unfortunately, I have zero coordination skills and can barely manage the Cupid Shuffle. I still enjoy the ballet and try to see one performance a year. Through the Maker Project, I was made aware of Misty Copeland – the first soloist black … More Happy Friday!
I’m excited for this month’s meals. Most of the recipes are pretty light. Not surprisingly the one I’m most looking forward to, the Moroccan Chicken Pot Pie, would be better saved for the fall but it looks too delicious to pass up. Plus I enjoy the fall and am looking forward to it. Not that … More August Meals
Grand Circus Park is located in downtown Detroit. Its semi-circle shape is surrounded by Comerica Park, the Detroit Opera House, the Detroit Athletic Club (for the city’s elite), several apartment buildings and restaurants, with more to come (including a boutique hotel). The region’s most popular street, Woodward Avenue, runs through it. And it’s the unofficial … More Grand Circus Park
