This past Labor Day Weekend, we finally got around to doing something we’ve been talking about doing all summer – making some BBQ in the smoker. You might remember reading about RibFest 2013 a few months ago. Yes, 2013. It’s been a while. Too long. This time around, we decided to smoke a 4.5 pound … Continue reading
Hey guys! It’s been a while since I ventured out of (my beloved) Ann Arbor and reviewed a restaurant in Saline. My most recent was my review of Detroit Dog Co. earlier this year (which reminds me… I need to make another trip there soon! Mmm, hot dogs.) Well, here is another review from Ann … Continue reading
Hey bone heads! Just kidding. None of you, my dear readers, are bone heads. Unless you’ve never been to Bone Heads Bar-B-Que before. Then you might be a Bone Head. I should be a salesperson. In any case, the huz and I visited Bone Heads Bar-B-Que in Willis, Michigan, this past Saturday. (Where is Willis, … Continue reading
Earlier this week I told you about my mini weekend getaway to Detroit. Given our planned proximity to Slows Bar B Q over the weekend, I felt it was my duty as a food blogger to eat there and report back. I have, at times, felt like an inadequate “foodie,” (annoying term, I know) when … Continue reading
There have been so many new restaurants opening in Ann Arbor over the past few weeks! I am excited to try them all. Lena (not brand new; I’ve only had drinks in the basement Habana, but not eaten there yet), Isalita (dying to go here), Kuroshio, Vellum, and R.U.B. BBQ. Thursday at the office we … Continue reading
Ypsilanti has a stellar new dining destination! I may be an Ann Arborite, but I frequently dine in Ypsi as well, mostly due to our nearly weekly trips to Sidetrack to redeems the huz’s free year of burgers. Also last weekend we dined in Ypsi’s also-new Wurst Bar. This past Friday we headed to downtown … Continue reading
If you’re a fan of pulled pork, but are watching your waistline, I recommend this simple recipe for Tangy Pulled Pork, made in the slow cooker, using lean pork loin, and just a few other sauce ingredients, such as ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. In fact, this was my featured Favorite Recipe of … Continue reading
Thanks for sticking with me and my lack of posts the last few days! I’ve been out of commission for a couple days, but I am back. This weekend I redeemed a Groupon at Roos Rooast, a locally-owned Ann Arbor business selling mostly organic fair-trade artisan coffee they roast themselves. The coffee comes in these … Continue reading
Last night I tried two recipes out of my new Taste of Home Comfort Food Diet cookbook. Taste of Home recipes rarely disappoint, and I love their ‘Healthy Cooking’ magazine too, and so, this cookbook seemed perfect for me. It’s also a steal on Amazon right now too. Tangy Pulled Pork Sandwiches Recipe from Taste … Continue reading
I really haven’t been feeling the greatest the last few days – but I haven’t really been fueling my body with the healthiest food either. The cold weather and snow is driving me to be lazy, hibernate, and eat lots of carbs. Friday was a somewhat crappy day, and I will spare you some of … Continue reading
