Living in northern Michigan we cherish these hot summer days because we know they won’t last for long. It’s also the season for taking a dish to pass to our favorite social…
This list of Things to do in Roswell, NM comes from my love of all things paranormal and alien! I first went in search of aliens and ufos about five years ago. We were driving from California back to Michigan and I convinced Alan and Em that we should detour to Roswell. I wanted to…
I can’t even begin to tell you how desolate the drive is from Minneapolis to the Badlands, BUT there are highlights along I-90. Don’t get me wrong, there are a whole lot of corn fields, which I appreciate, but after a while, oye. Please give me something different to see. It became a joke between…

I make risotto at least two times a month. My recipe is pretty standard and I don’t tend to switch it up much. However Amoretti sent me a recipe for Champagne Risotto that looks absolutely delicious and one that I will be trying very soon. It will be asparagus season in Michigan soon so I’ll…
There are so many free and affordable things to do in Petoskey that you won’t regret the drive.

Plan to stop for treats at roadside farm market stands and pick…
