Taste of Scandinavia

It’s been two days since the incident happened so I think this is enough recovery time for me to move on and write about it. They predicted it…I will give them that, and I should have been forewarned. So when I woke up to an overcast, brisk Sunday morning I should have known that, for [...]

Restaurant Catch Up

I thought I would do a little catch up on a couple meals that I ate out this summer but have not had a chance to write about.

Muffuletta
The first was a brunch at Muffuletta that happened, admittedly, awhile back. On a beautiful early summer day a few friends and I had plans to try out [...]

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.

Cobblestone Cafe - White Bear Lake, MN

Breakfast Greens

The topic of breakfast greens has been discussed a time or two among a certain group of my friends. This discussion is heavily centered around one question, “Breakfast greens: are they a do or are they a don’t?”

We met some friends at the Birchwood last week. Straying from my typical breakfast scrambler order, I [...]

Birchwood Cafe: “Serious” Coffee

The Birchwood Cafe has long been serious about their food. With organic ingredients and homemade dishes they have lived up to their “Good Real Food” motto. Breakfast specialties like free-range egg scramblers, homemade organic granola and other sweet treats such as poppy seed waffles with fruit toppings have set them apart from the rest. Lunch [...]
