Pittsburgh :: Primanti Bros

After seeing Primanti Bros on the Travel Channel many years ago this was the only place (in terms of a restaurant) that I made a special request for us to visit NO MATTER WHAT while in Steel City and it didn't disappoint!

After a day in Pittsburgh I quickly realized that Primanti Bros is sort of like the Pittsburgh version of Portillos in Chicago. Thankfully we were able to go to the original in the Strip District, I had a cheese combo and Matt had a pastrami and swiss and we washed them down with one of the local PA beers from Yuengling.... so good!


Getting Caught Up

With Summer here and all that comes with that I have to get a bit caught up on the blog. Thanks to Fornear Photo we are getting to travel a bit this summer and share our time with some great people! We are excited about all of the new opportunities we have upon us as well as trying to live life a bit. Stay tuned for more from our Pittsburgh, PA trip.

Thank you all!

Pittsburgh :: Peace, Love & Little Donuts



If you come to Pittsburgh you need to go to this place in the Strip District! People were so nice and gave us free donuts just for being from out of town!

Brews Day Review

New micro-brews we found here in PA.... Yumm! This was a great way to relax in the hotel after a 10hr drive from Wisconsin to Pittsburgh and to unwind after being swindled out of almost $30 on the I-80/90 tollway... ugh. Anyway!

Our two favorites we found were the Duck-Rabbit Baltic Porter and Stoudt's Smooth Hopperator. The Duck-Rabbit was a our favorite but the Stoudt's was a close second!

Yummo Healthy Breakfast

Something simple, easy and healthy! My husband and I have been on a smoothie kick on the weekends (thanks to my favorite kitchen tool, the immersion blender)! This dandy was a Very Vanilla Soy, blue berry and strawberry one.

WI Day Trip :: Mt.Hore & Cave of the Mounds

Not the best picture but for the Memoridal Day weekend since we did not go out of town we took a small day trip to Mt Horeb and Blue Mounds WI. While there we went to the Grump Troll Brewery (good beer but a bit on the expensive side for the food) and then went to The Cave of the Mounds. This place is really cool! Great place to visit but it was a touch crowded but we really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it! For much better pictures check out the Fornear Photo Facebook page!

Lazy Spring Night

Summer is just about here and we were just hanging out and having a beer by our garage overlooking the lake... I have been pretty busy so I haven't had a chance to get on here as much as I would like. Many trips and exciting things coming up so hopefully I will get a little better ;-)
