Saline has a new eatery! I’m excited for this one, too. The owner of Matty’s J’s Bakery & Café is Shawna Sloan, who is a former Zingerman’s Bakehouse bread manager. The restaurant is located in The Oaks plaza in Saline, MI. As Matty J’s has been preparing to open, I’ve been watching things come together … Continue reading
If there is ever an event focused on food, count me in. I love events that bring people food lovers together. Taste of Ann Arbor annually showcases the many wonderful restaurants we are so lucky to have here in town. I think one of the coolest thing about this event is the opportunity to try … Continue reading
Ahh, I love a good three day weekend. We started our Saturday out with a mini road trip to Lambertville, MI. First brunch at Bedford Coney Island definitely hit the spot! I ordered this breakfast scramble covered in sausage gravy, with a side of seeded rye toast, and coffee, of course. Next we went to … Continue reading

It’s been a good while since I’ve posted any life updates on here so I thought I’d pop in to share some fun summer moments we’ve been having! Father’s Day – I bought the huz and baby J matching shirts: Player 1 and Player 2 (huz is a big gamer!) We also went out for … Continue reading

The Brinery specializes in all things preserved and fermented – pickles, kimchi, sauerkraut, sriracha, and now, tempeh. What is tempeh you ask? Tempeh is a meat-free protein that is a favorite of many vegetarians and vegans … Continue reading
Last April, I wrote a blog post about Ravens Club’s Improved Menu, after enjoying my favorite meal to date at the restaurant since its opening four years ago on Main Street in Ann Arbor.

Sweetest Day 2014 brought the huz and I to Milan, Michigan to complete a corn maze. (We didn’t even realize it was Sweetest Day until after the fact, so I guess that worked out well?) Talladay Farms offers two traditional corn mazes as well as a haunted corn maze. Today we took part in the … Continue reading
