Longfellow Grill…How sweet it is

I’ve realized lately that a lot of my posts have to do with breakfast. What can I say? I love breakfast. As I know I have said this many times before…just give me eggs and coffee to make me happy.
This past Sunday I found myself at Longfellow Grill for breakfast. Scanning the menu, I saw [...]

Jake’s Buffalo Wings

I am a sucker for buffalo sauce. Put it on wings or a chicken sandwich…put it on anything, actually, and I’m sure I’d love it. I’m drawn to the spice, the grease, the salty-sweet combo…I simply love it.
Buffalo sauce takes me back to junior high, to a restaurant in my hometown of Morton, IL called [...]

A Lazy Sunday

I woke up this past Sunday to a wonderfully sunny, albeit windy, spring day. There were blue skies and fluffy clouds and I had the whole day stretched before me. As I sat, enjoying my coffee, I noticed my cat, Bert, stretched out in a patch of sun just at the foot of my chair. [...]

Kindee Thai Restaurant

If a name is a promise, then Kindee, translated ‘to eat good’, Thai Restaurant lives up to their promise. I recently ate at this new Mill District restaurant and was very pleased with my experience. Open just shy of one week, I was hesitant for what kind of service and food quality I would have, [...]

Tacos Two Ways and Mango Salsa

Tacos are a staple in my household. I love the versatility of them and the ease of how just a few ingredients can come together quickly to make a fresh, delicious meal.

This past Saturday Kyle and I ventured out to the Midtown Global Market in search of the thinly sliced steak we have eaten there [...]

Breakfast at Yum! Kitchen and Bakery

I am a sucker for marketing. I love the signs that convince you that you’re getting a bargain “2 for $4″. I love the samples at the grocery store; you can bet I’ll want to buy the whole thing after a taste. I especially love the way a restaurant sells you on their food. A [...]

Late Night Pizza Luce

There is a time and a place in this world for Pizza Luce. That time happens after a long night of drinking and the place is off 1st Avenue in downtown Minneapolis.
I love pizza, but I’m not in love with Pizza Luce pizza. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll eat it. But, it’s not the pizza [...]

Cooking Club: BBQ

A little over a year ago Kyle and I were invited to join a newly formed cooking club with three other couples. The idea, thought up by Chad and Vickie, was to bring four couples together every two to three months to try new recipes, eat dinner, and get to know each other better. Needless [...]

Cobblestone Cafe - White Bear Lake, MN

Yesterday I met a friend for breakfast at the Cobblestone Cafe in White Bear Lake. Located right on Washington Square, this timeless diner was right up my alley for a good Saturday morning breakfast.
I love the straight up bacon and eggs breakfast. Sure, I do like creative breakfasts too, but the key to my [...]
