This has been an absolutely exhausting week, but it was filled with a lot of fun and amazing experiences, which included dinner with the boy and some of his work family (really liked that he invited me out with them), media days at the North American International Auto Show, seeing the Bodyguard (absolutely amazing show that I highly recommend checking out). This weekend I will be checking out the fire and ice festival in Rochester and hitting up the slopes for my FIRST ski lesson – what are your weekend plans?

The North American International Auto Show has touched down in Detroit, and I recently had the opportunity to check it out for media days thanks to A Girls Guide to Cars.  If you’re attending I highly recommend visiting Ford, because they have some super fun activities for you.  Don’t forget taking a trip to Jeep, that new Wrangler is gorgeous – I would love to hit the trails with it and dirty it up. Here’s a peek into what I saw…..

Restaurant Review: Chartreuse

A couple months ago we checked out Chartreuse before a broadway show, and since we had such a great experience there we decided to eat their again before a show downtown. You can see our first experience here.
I highly recommend making a reservation for Chartreuse as the restaurant tends to be packed as soon as it opens up. This restaurant is designed for you to share the food so of course we ordered a few dishes. When it comes to food we are pretty adventurous. His motto is he will always try things twice, so it brings a unique balance to the table.  We both agreed that we liked the food better this time around, maybe it’s because we were a little bit more adventurous and understood the restaurant a little better this time. Definitely recommend checking out Chartreuse if you haven’t before. 
So what did we eat?
Bread N’ Butter (I forgot to get a picture)
max’s sourdough selection (one was plain and the other had raisin) with herb butter (so good).
Waygu Beef TarTare
avocado, chili mayo, scallion and homemade tortillas
first experience with tartare and I actually really liked it a lot.

  Roasted Carrots
pumpkin, radish, roasted onion, tarragon, yogurt, granola
the carrots were a variety of colors, and this was probably one of my favorite dishes
  Berkshire Pork Tenderloin
rosemary apple, parsnip, maple
really liked this a lot
Key Lime Pot De CrèmeMichigan blueberry, graham cracker, sea salt chocolate bar

Winter Adventure

Recently, we went on a little mini road trip/adventure – in the frigid -20 with windchill weather, but let me tell you it was ridiculously fun. To start the day I was kind of feeling blah, and discouraged about a lot of things, after our little adventure I couldn’t stop smiling – it was absolutely amazing and gave me all the feels. You guys, he can even keep pace with me. Seriously, never did I think this day would exist.

Anyone else super excited about the winter Olympics?  My favorite events are skiing, snowboarding and speed skating. The last time the winter Olympics came around Canada had the CUTEST mittens in the universe, I was completely jealous of how chic they were – especially since the USA didn’t have anything cute. MichiganMittens actually came out with USA mittens, and they are amazing! They’re super warm, adorable and MADE in the USA! So head over to Michigan Mittens and get yourself a pair of mittens and get ready to root on team USA with me.
