Walker Sculpture Garden

I’m crossing my fingers that this is my last day of being sick, so hopefully I’ll actually write tomorrow. Until then, I’ve included some pictures from our visit to the Walker Sculpture Gardens this past weekend. Enjoy!

St. Paul Farmer’s Market

I am recovering from a cold and, therefore, am not much up for writing. Instead, I thought I would share some pictures that I took last week at the St. Paul Farmer’s Market. We picked up some late summer vegetables, which I then took home and made raspberry jam, tomato jam and pickled red peppers. [...]

Fall is here…

…and it is lovely! Leaves turning, apple picking…I love this time of year!

Day by Day Cafe

It was Sunday and breakfast was the main priority. I didn’t care where we went, as long as there would be eggs. At the precise moment when Kyle made a suggestion of where we should go, we received a text from our friend The Freets. He and his lovely wife Sue were headed to Day [...]

Maxwell’s American Grill

I know this is old hat to many of you, but I just wanted to share my excitement that Maxwell’s is back! It seems unbelieveable that just seven months ago, Maxwell’s was shut down due to a fire that started on the third floor in a storage area (as reported by Ed here), where there [...]

Eli’s Coffee and Blue Moon Coffee Cafe

Living in a large(r) city like Minneapolis has made me take coffee shops for granted. There is a Caribou on almost every corner, and where there isn’t a Caribou I’m sure Starbucks or Dunn Bros. is near. In addition to these larger chains there are also smaller coffee shops that survive in the busy, on-the-go [...]

The Burger Barge

Located on the banks of the Illinois River in East Peoria, Illinois is the Burger Barge restaurant. No, it’s not an actual barge, but it certainly looks as though a barge or boat of some type ran ashore and then took off again, leaving behind remnants such as weathered anchors, ropes, and other nautical items. [...]

A good time at home…

I was visiting home last week in the lovely town of Morton, Illinois. I had a great time with friends and family and arrived back to Minneapolis exhausted! I did visit a few restaurants and, of course, the Pumpkin Festival…all of which I will write about soon. However, for today I thought I would just [...]

Cecil’s Deli

One of my favorite lunch spots is Cecil’s Deli in Highland Park, St. Paul. I love this place! We happened upon Cecil’s several years ago after my dad (who lives out of state) got a recommendation from someone about a restaurant that serves the BEST rueben in the Twin Cites. Although he wasn’t sure of [...]

Himalayan Restaurant

After reading a quick blurb about the new Nepalanese restaurant in South Minneapolis, I knew I had to try it. So even though I had plans to make dinner and have a low-key night at home on Friday, I quickly changed the plans and convinced Kyle that we had to go. And off we went [...]
