He insisted I HAD to have a cupcake because it was my birthday. Who am I to deny a child?
(In case you are wondering, it’s red velvet with cream cheese frosting.)
The BEST waffle I’ve ever had in my life I make myself when we stay at the Best Western in Rochester, MN.
Seriously.
It makes the hours sitting in a hockey rink during camp sooooo worth it.
I’m missing all the free shit from the East Coast.
Minnesota, STEP UP YOUR GAME!
(Yes, it’s for real. Every year.)
Jucy Lucy. So worth the wait.
American cheese stuffed in the middle of a burger patty. Cheddar cheese and bacon on top.
My cheese shot out the backend. Kind of disappointing but sooooo delicious.
I hate making things to bring for a group of people to eat when I don’t know most of them. Luckily, my salad was a hit! It had candied pecans, pears, grapes, and Gorgonzola cheese crumbles. All mixed together with a balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Yum. So glad I have some ingredients leftover!

The newest restaurant addition to the Mall of America that opened as a result of America’s Next Great Restaurant. This place had a huge line when it opened about a month ago, and congratulations to Jamawn J. Woods, but I just wasn’t amazed - sort of.
I got the baked chicken with cheesy grits and green beans and a cornbread waffle. And I only got those options because I like cheese (though still hate grits) and green beans (but not cold ones). Their selections for sides leave something to be desired and definitely aren’t kid friendly. (No mac-n-cheese???!) From what I can recall, other than the cheesy grit the only other hot sides were kale and sweet potatoes. I would have gotten the sweet potatoes but they were still being cooked. The cold side options consisted of mainly cold pastas, which I just don’t prefer. Needless to say I didn’t each but two bites of each side.
But that chicken! That chicken was amazing! And I would so order it again …. repeatedly. It was so juicy and flavorful. I can almost still taste it.
Because of how damn good the chicken was, I’ll go back to try the other meats (ribs and pulled pork), get a cornbread waffle to go with it and be perfectly happy.
Especially with the perfectly brewed SWEET TEA they have.
I can’t be the only one…
Who immediately thinks of Buffalo Wild Wings every time I watch the Bruins play. I see this patch on their shoulder and I immediately want their Chicken Wrap with Teriyaki sauce.
Can I? Probably.

Heavenly. And no I don’t care how.bad you say it is for me. Your arguments are mute.
