The 411 in the 616: Best Summer Ever

I can’t believe it’s already Monday and almost the middle of August! We had such a wonderful weekend checking out Grove for Restaurant Week GR, doing some landscaping around our house, walking to Fulton Street Farmers Market, and supporting our friends in a golf outing yesterday. It was a busy but productive weekend and those are the absolute best. This week looks beautiful and there are some awesome events happening around town. Scroll down for your weekly 411 in the 616!

Things I’m Loving Right Now

Restaurant Week GR! In case you didn’t know Restaurant Week GR is still happening this week, and we loved the menu at Grove last weekend. The Salted Dark Chocolate Fudge is my absolute favorite.

I was getting so tired of using so much plastic produce bags every time I went grocery shopping. So I bought these on Amazon and can’t wait to try them.

I made these vegetarian enchilada stuffed peppers last week and they were amazing! You could also add chicken if you didn’t want a vegetarian meal.
