It's been awhile...

Hello Readers,
  I am happy to see there are a few of you out there (and the number seems to be growing)! News from my life, I moved to Michigan! So you will be getting some new restaurant reviews (I have a few I'm working on), hopefully some flea market finds, some new recipes- since I currently have a clean fully functional kitchen and hopefully soon I will be headed somewhere fun and will be able to write about that too!

 Comment away please I would love to know what you would like to hear about.

Tomorrow I am going to the closest gym (a Planet Fitness) and signing up for their $10/month gym membership and heading to the food Co-Op down the road and whole foods! My plan is to keep some flavored waters in the fridge (recipes coming) and make some homemade granola bars tomorrow!

Hopefully I will have lots of fun adventures to write about in a new city and new home! I want to try some indoor gardening and make a real effort at cooking more often and eating much cleaner! I have slipped back into my fast food and grab and go life - it is doing nothing for my waistline or my energy levels!!

So I'm back for good! Hopefully with something interesting coming soon!

Sidetrack Grill - Yipsilanti, MI

 While visiting Michigan this weekend my boyfriend and I stopped at the Sidetrack Grill in Yipsilanti, Mi. Sidetrack is famous for their burgers and has been on Opra (generally good food advice) and several news shows so we had to stop! I got their 1/3 lb burger with, bacon, avacado, queso, and marinated portabella.

I had high expectations, and I was sadly let down. I was amazed to find that I found a far better burger in Wooster, Ohio my home town earlier last week at Muddy Waters grill the 50/50 burger was inspired and beyond amazing read post on that for more. My burger at Sidetrack was just normal ground beef, barely seasoned, cooked perfectly, with decent ingredients. My fries, tasted like I was drinking a pint of strong beer, if you like that the fries were amazing if not, not so much.

Plus note the last line for two of us burger and fries, I had a pop it was $34.00, my delicious 50/50 burger was $23.00 for the two of us!

Here were my quick notes right after we ate:
Meat- ok
Bacon- amazing
Fries- beer!
Avacado- fresh slices
Queso- American
Portabella- big good
Bun- good nothing special ok toasted
2 for $34 plus tip
