I’m here today simply to reiterate my love of MAIZ Mexican Cantina, located in Ypsi’s Depot Town. Our most recent visit cemented our love for MAIZ’s a-MAIZ-ing food. Definitely my favorite Mexican food in the area. I had a hand-shaken strawberry lemonade and shared order of Queso Fundido (half-off during happy hour!) to start, featuring … Continue reading
How great are quesadillas, am I right? Melty cheese, crispy exterior. How can you not love them? For years, Chicken Fajita Quesadillas have made frequent appearances in our regular dinner rotation. Oh yeah, I’ve totally been making this Kraft recipe since before we were even married. I remember whipping up these quesadillas way back when … Continue reading
Before we get to the food, can we talk about books for a minute today? Up until one week ago I really felt like the only person around who had not yet read Gone Girl (#FirstWorldProblems). The only books I have been reading for, well, basically the past YEAR have been the first five Game … Continue reading
What is the best way to use up a block of Queso Fresco?

Happy Meatless Monday! I have a really easy homemade pizza recipe for you today. For the crust, I tried a new find in my grocer’s refrigerated section – a whole grain pizza crust. This tube of dough was pressed into a greased 13”x9” baking dish, and baked for 8 minutes, to get things started. After … Continue reading
I’m so excited to share my most recent, fantastic Ann Arbor restaurant find with you today! I’m not sure I could even tell you where I first heard about Tmaz Taqueria. But after encountering multiple rave reviews in the news, restaurant review websites, and via social media, I finally decided that it was time that … Continue reading
Have you guys ever purchased canned enchilada sauce? You know, the bright red stuff that contains MSG? I’m going to go ahead and recommend you make this sauce instead. To the above ingredients (which many people already have in their pantry already, yes?), add a can of unsalted tomato sauce. If you can’t find unsalted … Continue reading
I know I say it every summer, but summer meals truly ARE the BEST. Every spring, I am super psyched to start grilling. (Er, ahem, for the huz to start grilling). Once we do, we usually grill once or twice per week for the next several months. Every week I look forward to “grillin’ day.” … Continue reading
