Jen Jamie requested I try that recipe going around Facebook, you know the one. Cinnamon Roll French Toast. You can find the video here. You combine Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls and egg mixture for what appears to be a gooey cinnamon roll casserole. Here is the recipe: 2 tubes refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing 4 Tbsp. butter, … Read more
Last night Omar and I went out to dinner and I had a hankering for Mexican Food. Although we typically just go to El Patio, since it is just across the street, and great food & service (check out my prior post here) I was really craving the fluffy tacos from El Charro. Feeling lazy … Read more
A little while back, I “shared” a recipe on my Facebook page that I wanted to try. It was for crock pot mac & cheese. As I attend a lot of potlucks, I thought this may be a good recipe to have in my arsenal. However, reviews were very mixed. Some thought it was great, … Read more
It occurred to me, why just shared our opinions? Although our opinions on restaurants, beer and even hotels are well-crafted, insightful and dare I say, thought provoking, they are, at their core, just opinions. I thought it would be fun to share recipes as well. Not just “hey this Betty Crocker recipe is great” but I … Read more

As I apparently like to tell stories over and over again, I hear almost daily from Omar, “I know, Fattoush!” I have now adopted this term into my vocabulary, so Fattoush has a … Read more

The restaurant touts that is has been voted best burgers in America in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2014. As this is 2015, I … Read more
Wednesday nights for Omar and I are date night. We always do something together, whether we go out, order in, or sometimes, if he is lucky, I even cook. Life has been crazy hectic lately. I feel like I don’t have a second of spare time. Last night, as you read in Omar’s last blog, we … Read more
I met my beautiful Jen after work for dinner and drinks last nite at the Tilted Kilt in Sterling Heights. I have heard many things about it listening to sports talk radio shows who sometimes broadcast from there. As one suspects, its a UK themed sports bar. Lots of televisions abound and the place is … Read more
I grabbed a carry out from Niki’s Restaurant in Royal Oak. I tried to like this place. I really did. It would be nice to frequent a local place and support that local family owned business. I popped in to order my carry out instead of calling it in – was getting gas and decided … Read more
Tuesday I went on a business lunch to Boodles, in Madison Heights. Now I was a resident of Madison Heights for over 20 years, and lived my whole life in the vicinity and have only been to the hidden gem once before. Many moons ago, I took my mom on a Mother’s Day Brunch here, which I … Read more
