#FridayFinds - Wild Eggs

My work location changed slightly - I'm still in Downtown Cincinnati, but in a different area....

You know what that means, right?  Yep, some new restaurants to try.

Some co-workers and I have been to this location twice (showing pictures from both trips) and it is so close to the office (and reasonably priced... we won't talk about the food options in our building) that we will probably go again.

Strawberry Pancakes that we all shared for dessert

"ACE" of a "BLT"
(Avocado, Cheese, Egg added to Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato)

Mexico City Chilaquiles (I think) w/ Fruit

Deli Turkey & Cheese Egg white Omelet w/ Sausage and Fruit

Veggie Bennie Florentine w/ Fruit

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Off The Strip Bistro Bar (Las Vegas, NV)

Another trip to Las Vegas... Another restaurant to try...

Classic Cheese Burger (I think)

Chicken Parmigiana

BLT with lettuce wrap instead of a bun

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - The Steakhouse (Palm Springs, CA)

Another work trip... Another new restaurant...

The food was good... The conversation was even better... Love learning about new things.

This place isn't a repeat for me - not because the restaurant isn't worth it, but because I cannot handle the heat of Palm Springs.  I do not plan on visiting ever again as my sinuses have threatened to divorce me if I do.

Brussel Sprouts (a little plain)

Crab Cakes (amazing)

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Red Leprechaun

Rounding out my birthday week, I wandered into an Irish Pub....

The drink was AMAZING and the food was okay...

If you find yourself on the Banks in Cincinnati - the drinks are worth a stop!

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Gold Star Chili

OK, OK, OK - I know everyone thinks Cincinnati Chili when they hear Gold Star (or Skyline).

AND - I absolutely hate Cincinnati Chile.  Can't stand it.  Pasta with chili sauce is not chili - it's goulash.

BUT - I do like hamburgers and my hubby likes Cincinnati Chili...
So, we decided to go for the Burger Week so that we could both have something we like (and this was during my birthday week and I wanted a hamburger!).

The result - good burgers.  If hubby is craving that god-awful chili, I can get something that I like.

BUT - no go on the fries.  I should also say that I can't stand cheddar cheese which a BIG staple at this restaurant. I tried the Parmesan Garlic Fries as an alternative, but they should rename those Mayonnaise Fries because that is all the topping tasted like.

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Bakersfield

Back in the office means another find in downtown Cincinnati - specifically in the Over the Rhine area.

This lunch was planned for a team outing before one of the group went out on leave but was morphed into a birthday celebration for little old me. :) The food was great, the company even better.

Short Rib Taco (I think)

Carnitas Taco (I think)

Fish Taco

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - GR Noir (Grand Rapids, MI)

Another find on my work trip to Grand Rapids! 

The food and entertainment were wonderful - but alas, we were sharing a lot of plates, so I didn't write down what everything was.  Just guarantee that there wasn't a bit of food that wasn't good!

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Pochis Columbian Restaurant & Cafe (Grand Rapids, MI)

Found this gem on a work trip!  

The food was served family style - so I'm not sure of all of the names, but one of my friends with me is from Colombia and she was extremely impressed with the food.

The food was amazing and now has me searching for authentic Columbian food in my hometown (recommendations being collected). If you are in the Grand Rapids area, please stop by and given them a try - the owner was very nice and amazing!

Namaste.

#CraftyTuesday - It's A Boy!!!

Up until now, we had all grandSONS (3) and great NIECES (3).

Time to add a great NEPHEW into the mix!

Namaste.
