June’s menu was so colorless I wanted to brighten things up this month. I also never feel like we eat enough vegetables and tried to pick out a few things that offered some nutritional value. I’m giving myself one last week of gluttony but will have to kick it into high gear. Chipotle Honey Barbecue … More July Meals
This weekend I made my favorite banana split cupcakes for Annecia’s graduation party. It’s a recipe I created a couple years ago but don’t make often because it makes A LOT of cupcakes! If made the right size it should make nearly 70 cupcakes. Perfect for a party but not great for a regular treat. … More Banana Split Cupcakes
It was a beautiful weather weekend for River Days downtown. The Detroit Riverfront is an excellent example of the city’s growth and improvement over the years. The Conservancy does a fantastic job expanding river access to the public and creating a premier destination for residents and visitors. The annual fair hosts a traditional carnival, live music/events and … More River Days
I am not a Seinfeld fan. I think it kind of offends Danny and I’m sure it offends others; however, I’ve never found him particularly likable or very funny. That said, I really enjoy his web series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. The show is exactly what it sounds likes. He picks up celebrities in … More Happy Friday
I’m a problem solver by nature. If I see a deficiency I want to fix it. Well, if I’m completely honest I’d rather someone else fill void. Not because I don’t want to do the work but I generally don’t feel confident enough to do it myself. This blog is a prime example. I wanted … More The Bagel Business
The item you’re most likely to find in our freezer is sausage from the Corridor Sausage Co. We’ve been buying them for years and they are literally one of my favorite food items (I recommend Apple, Sage & Pork). Since I’m such a fan, I was happy Corridor Sausage Co.’s owner, Will Branch, agreed to … More Corridor Sausage Co.
Live, Work, Play is Dan Gilbert’s slogan for Detroit and he’s serious. At various locations downtown you can find fun, free activities to participate in. Gina and I have noticed more pop up recently and since it is such a beautiful day I decided to snap some quick pictures (camera phone today) during lunch. Above … More Live, Work, PLAY
And Happy Birthday Kat! Well it’s a little early for that, but the big 3-0 celebrations start tomorrow. This picture is a bit of a throwback – 2009. The halfway mark of our 10 year friendship. When we first met I was definitely that pesky kid who would follow her around at work. I’m sure … More Happy Friday
We’re going on a road trip for our summer vacation and I can’t wait! In preparation for many hours on the road I’m making a Pure Michigan Playlist. I’m definitely a Motown girl. Our wedding playlist was Motown exclusive and I plead with Danny to sing Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell with me on a … More Pure Michigan Playlist
I’m a sucker for any dessert recipe that includes steel cut oats and using a waffle iron to bake was too tempting to pass up. I bought a $20 waffle iron to make these cookies and it was worth it. Quick, simple and delicious. It’s also an excuse to try other creative waffle recipe. Chocolate … More Chocolate Chip Waffle Cookies
