As someone who is a huge fan of stir fry and fajitas, you can imagine my love for Mongolian Grill. Currently Mongo has a Fajita Fiesta going on with new Southwestern flavors and let me tell you, they\’re amazing. Have you ever tried Mongo\’s appetizers before? You can create your own trio, or get them individually. I was a huge fan of the Crab Rangoons (seafood and cream cheese filling wrapped in a crispy wonton and served with sweet chili sauce. The Egg Rolls were also really good – especially loved the Asian dipping sauce, but my favorite was the Jalapeno Mozzarella Sticks – paired with their homemade ranch dressing. Make sure you don\’t skip dessert the Fried Oreos are worth every deep fried bite – you also get a scoop of hot fudge and a scoop of vanilla ice cream with them.

POUND FIT

Hey babes! How is the Crazy Sexy Confident Challenge going for you? Are you seeing changes and starting to love yourself more? I know I am! If you\’re following along with the challenge you know one of the activities on the list to accomplish is trying a new workout class. I rocked out during my workout, when I attended my very first POUND class at ZellaDor.

What is POUND?
Instead of just listening to the music POUND immerses you and allows you to channel your inner rockstar with a full body cardio-jam session, that will have you dripping sweat as you have fun playing the air drums with your Ripstix (lightly weighted drumsticks). Designed for all fitness levels, POUND gives you the opportunity to let loose and rock out. Both men and women are invited to join the workouts.

I really loved how high energy the class was, the instructor definitely makes a difference and Andrea killed it! Oh, and just so none of you feel bad – I threw a Ripstix straight across the room…yikes!

You know you\’ve scored a good guy when he calls and asks you to brunch (well technically he said breakfast because he hates how millennial brunching has become). A previously took me to Rochester Brunch House earlier in the year, you can see what we each ate here. Last time we went to Rochester Brunch House there was snow on the ground, and this time we were able to dine outside. So let\’s get to what we ate… A ordered the Breakfast Burrito which comes with your choice of ham, bacon or sausage, egg, onions, peppers, cheese, potatoes and sausage gravy. As for me I tried to be healthier this round and ordered the California Omelet which has ham, bacon, tomatoes, onions, avocado and swiss cheese in it. I decided on tomato slices instead of potatoes or grits and had a slice of whole wheat toast. Both of us absolutely loved our meals, and I cannot wait to go back.

Coming to Detroit: CHICAGO

Pop, Six, Squish, Uh-Uh, Cicero, Lipschitz! Detroit had it coming. You\’ll only have yourself to blame, if you\’re not there and aren\’t seeing it. Will you be there when CHICAGO takes the stage at the Fisher Theatre October 16-21?



CHICAGO will appear at Detroit’s Fisher Theatre, October 16-21, 2018. Tickets start at $39 and go on sale Sunday, August 5. Purchase tickets online at www.broadwayindetroit.com or www.ticketmaster.com, or by phone at 800-982-2787. Starting Monday, August 6, tickets may be purchased at the Fisher Theatre box office.

With a legendary book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb, CHICAGO is now the #1 longest-running American musical in Broadway history — and it still shows no sign of ever slowing down!
Produced by Barry and Fran Weissler, CHICAGO is the winner of six 1997 Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Cast Recording. 
Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, CHICAGO is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who maliciously murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago’s slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today’s tabloids.
The national tour is directed by David Hyslop and choreographed by David Bushman.  Walter Bobbie is the director of the original New York Productionand Ann Reinking was the original choreographer in the style of Bob Fosse. CHICAGO features set design by John Lee Beatty, costume design by William Ivey Long, lighting design by Ken Billington and sound design by Scott Lehrer. The production also features orchestrations byRalph Burns, supervising music direction by Rob Fisher.
CHICAGO is a production not to be missed. And all the reviewers agree. Time Magazine calls it “A Triumph,” Newsweek raves “Smashing” and Entertainment Weekly sums it up by calling CHICAGO “Broadway’s Most Electrifying Show.”
