Last year around this time I went to Noodles & Company for the first time. My BFF and I each got the Mac & Cheese and an order of garlic bread – let me tell you, it was sinfully delicious. A couple weeks ago I had to the opportunity to visit Noodles &Company to try out their new menu – since I have only tried two things before I was excited to try what else they have to offer.

1. Sharables (Appetizers):

Korean BBQ Meatballs: Absolutely amazing, I only sampled one, but probably could of polished off the entire bowl by myself. 

Cheese Garlic Bread: Delicious.

2. Salads:

Chicken Veracruz Salad: Has a little bit of a kick to it with the jalapeño ranch dressing and crispy jalapeños.

Napa Market Salad with Chicken: This was my favorite and the pomegranate vinaigrette was delicious. 
 
3. Asian- Inspired:


Japan Pan Noodles: Surprisingly this dish was really good and has carmelized udon noodles that are in a sweet soy sauce with broccoli, shiitake mushrooms, carrots, Asian sprouts, black seasame seeds and cilantro…yum!


Pad Thai: Rice noodles are stir-fried with scrambled egg, cabbage, citrus, peanuts, Asian sprouts, green onions, cilantro and is so delicious I might stop going to my Asian restaurant.
 
4. Italian Flavors:

Pesto Cavatappi: Pesto, tomatoes and mushrooms, combine together to create an amazing combination.

Alfredo MontAmore: One of the best alfredo dishes I have had – four-cheese blend alfredo, roasted mushrooms, tomato, spinach and parmesan chicken.
 
Penne Rosa: Spicy tomato cream sauce, penne pasta, mushrooms, tomato, spinach, wine and parmesan or feta – I wasn’t a huge fan, but others really liked it. 
5. American Favorites:


Bacon Mac & Cheeseburger: Wisconsin Mac & Cheese combined with bacon, tomatoes, green onions and oven-roasted meatballs, completely won over my heart.

 

Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese: Buffalo sauce kicks up the flavors.

 

BBQ Pork Mac & Cheese: naturally raised pork, crispy jalapeños and sweet tangy barbecue sauce give this mac & cheese tons of flavor.

Michigan Mittens

I remember moving to Pittsburgh and someone asking me where I was from, I said the Detroit-area and pulled out my hand to point – let me tell you they looked at me like I was a crazy person. Since Michigan is shaped like a mitten you learn at a young age to show people where you live by pointing to the convenient map that your hand makes.

Michigan Mittens takes the map concept one step further and has printed the upper and lower peninsula on their mittens, so you can “Always have a MAP on Hand!”. The mittens are great for the little ones and the big ones that you’re buying for this holiday season, or yourself  – we’ve all been there. Michigan Mittens come in a large variety of colors with their new Hunter’s  Plaid being my favorite.  What makes these mittens even better is they’re made in North Carolina and than shipped to Pontiac, Michigan to be printed.
