1. Favorite food – at home: 

Now that spring has sprung we have been on a major grilling spree and what is better on the grill then kabobs!

Steak and veggie….

Steak kebabs

Chicken and veggie…

Lemon pepper shrimp….

2. Favorite in wedding planning – 

Sal and I went to New Hampshire to try wedding cakes. OMG. There was a truffle chocolate filling that was so amazing. Carrot cake that was spot on. And a few other flavors that were excellent and made the decision of what to get on each tier of our cake easy!

3. Favorite outing –

The fiance and I took a drive down to Patriot’s Place for some fishing necessities for him and a yummy lunch.

My favorite part of Bass Pro Shops…the tank!

For lunch, we hit up Red Robin. I tried the root beer – beer. Sal definitely liked it better than me. I love trying new things though – who knew you could get an alcoholic version of root beer? I think my issue with it was I was hoping for a foamy top like a normal root beer, but as you can see, not so much here!

A couple of wings and chips to kick off the meal – with their Asian Banzai sauce.

This was the description that won me over, for the burger I ordered: “A true knife-and-fork burger. Sautéed, blackened portobello mushrooms, caramelized onions, house-made Bleu cheese sauce and Bleu cheese crumbles on a toasted ciabatta bun with Dijon sauce.”

4. Favorite grocery store find – 

On a healthier note, I finally found a yogurt without so many mystery and artificial ingredients – Siggi’s! I stocked up at Wholefoods and had it in the morning all week!

5. Favorite for my small biz –

May is all about Mother’s Day! If you are a mama-to-be or have a friend that is one, I have the perfect gifts for all budgets. My favorite new product in the shop are these belly stickers to take photos at each stage of your bump growing. Too cute right?

Little Heartbreaker Belly Stickers

Let’s hear it – what are this weeks favorites for YOU? TGIF!

    Wow Omg is this blog entry buzzing with so much amazing stuff! !!!

    Who doesn’t luv luv luv a kebab from the grill? Very clever to use shrimp. …I just do meat and every time I have me sum shish ka bob I think back to some clown I used to hook up with back at U conn. He’d randomly text me and say “I have a meat stick waiting for you.”

    He thought it was so funny, I never laughed even though I found it hilarious and all my gfs thought it was kind of sexy.

    It makes sense to go to New Hampshire to get your wedding cake as you ll save a ton on taxes. I luv buying things in tax free new Hampshire too!

    I’ve been to Patriot Place but never to the fishing place. But I’d have to say it doesn’t look like much of a sport to catch fish trapped in a tank. But I guess fishing is hard enuff so any advantage you can get helps I guess.

    That burger looks yummy. But even though you can eat it with a knife and fork it still came with a bun. Did you toss the bun aside?

      Nooo you dont fish in the tank ha the tank is just for customers viewing pleasure – who are there shopping for fishing gear for fishing the great outdoors !

    I feel sorry for those fish . They should be in a river or the ocean, whichever is appropriate.

    Lortissima, you sound zany and daring.
    But you and that other girl who think the fish are meant to be caught seem out of touch.

    First you need a license to fish but Bass Pro Shops would never allow that because as soon as the fish get caught the tank would be empty. And that wouldn’t look very good.

    You think any of the Patriots ever go there, maybe after practice? Michelle did you see any players?
