About Aladdin
Produced by Disney Theatrical Productions, under the direction of Thomas Schumacher, the showfeatures music by Tony Award and eight-time Oscar® winner Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, Newsies, Sister Act), lyrics by two-time Oscar winner Howard Ashman (Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid), three-time Tony Award and three-time Oscar winner Tim Rice (Evita, Aida) and four-time Tony Award nominee Chad Beguelin (The Wedding Singer), with a book by Beguelin, and is directed and choreographed by Tony Award winner Casey Nicholaw (The Book of Mormon).
Aladdin, adapted from the Academy Award®-winning animated Disney film and centuries-old folktales including “One Thousand and One Nights,” is brought to fresh theatrical life in this bold new musical. Aladdin’s journey sweeps audiences into an exotic world of daring adventure, classic comedy and timeless romance. This new production features a full score, including the five cherished songs from the Academy Award-winning soundtrack and more written especially for the stage.

Lake St. Clair
Happy Labor Day, loves! Having an extra day off this week is just what the doctor ordered. My boyfriend and I decided to spend the day out on Lake St. Clair, dodging raindrops. Even though the weather was less than stellar, the pictures we took were amazing. Here’s what being on the water while it storms around you looks like.
Kroger Prep+Pared: Stuffed Poblano Peppers
this is a sponsored post, all thoughts and opinions are my own
If you’ve been following along for a while, you know my boyfriend and I enjoy spending time in the kitchen together. We couldn’t decide what to make for dinner the other night, so we headed to Kroger to figure out what we wanted. Of course we ended up leaving with a Kroger Prep+Pared Meal Kit. Seriously, our addiction to these kits is real. When it comes to deciding on a kit both of us have rules he doesn’t like salmon and I don’t like pasta, therefore most anything else goes. This week we decided to give a vegetarian Prep+Pared Meal Kit a try and went with the Stuffed Poblano Peppers. What a great choice, these bad boys were packed with flavor and definitely kept us full for hours. Current Meal Kits. Have you tried a Kroger Prep+Pared Meal Kit yet?
Kroger Prep+Pared Meal Kits we have tried: Vietnamese-Inspired Spicy Lemongrass Pork
Shrimp Scampi
Crispy Pork Chops
Coconut Curry Chicken
Jerk Chicken
BBQ Chicken Flatbread
Restaurant Review: North 42
There are a few restaurants along Lake St. Clair that you can get to by boat; North 42 at MacRay Harbor is one of them. North 42 is the spot my boyfriend picked for us to take the boat to dinner this weekend. Since we were in the water right before getting to the restaurant we decided to eat outside in the pool area that overlooks Lake St. Clair. New to the menu was the Hacienda Salad which featured grilled seasoned chicken, house salsa fresca, aged cheddar and Monterey jack cheese, tortilla strips, chopped romaine, iceberg and baby greens that are served with a Mexican ranch dressing. I was left feeling underwhelmed with this salad, the flavor just wasn’t there. My boyfriend ordered the Pale Ale Fish and Chips featuring Icelandic cod bathed in Bell’s Two Hearted – battered and deep fried with French fries, house coleslaw and remoulade. Hands down he had the better meal, and we both agreed that it was probably one of the best fish and chips meals that we have ever had. If you head over to North 42 by boat or car I highly recommend giving the Pale Ale Fish and Chips a try.
Kroger Prep+Pared: Vietnamese-Inspired Spicy Lemongrass Pork
My boyfriend and I enjoy cooking dinner together, however we both have busy schedules and sometimes there is limited time to prepare dinner with eachother– which results in us not eating together. Kroger Prep+Pared Meal Kitsare the perfect solution for us, we can either go to the grocery store together or one of us stops and picks up the meal kit. Each meal kit is designed to provide two generous portions of food, and usually we have leftovers. This week we wanted to spice up our lives a little bit and went with the Vietnamese-Inspired Spicy Lemongrass Pork. Let me just say, hello flavor explosion – this is one of my favorite Prep+Pared Meal Kits that we have bought. Kroger seriously impresses me with their kits, and if you haven’t tried one I highly recommend heading to your local Kroger store immediately. Stay tuned to see what kit we get next week! Current meal kits available.
