Linking up today with the Biana and Meghan!
Friday night a few of us headed downtown to Bell's Brewery.
I've only been one other time so I was excited to check it out again. This place has a huge beer garden, a main room, and a room with a stage. As much as I loved the beer garden, we were there to see a band so we hung out inside all night. The band we went to see is called Starfarm and they are an 80's band from Lansing, MI. You all know how I LOVE my 80's music! They put on a great show and played everything from Journey to Madonna to Queen and more! Such a fun night!

Saturday I spent most of the day in bed with a stomach bug. I'll spare you those details.
Sunday I felt MUCH better and spent the whole day in the kitchen. Michigan and I decided that we didn't need much food since we are heading up to the lake Wednesday night. We picked 3 different recipes from Pinterest and I got to cooking. PS why on earth when we decide we don't need much food, do I still spend the day cooking? Good thing I love it!
Here's what I made:

Mexican Chopped Salad which is PERFECT for summertime! It's light and super easy to make. You seriously chop up corn, onion, avocado, pepper, cilantro, tomato, and mix in a few black beans. The dressing is super easy too.
PF Chang's Chicken Lettuce Wraps. I have been wanting to try making these for awhile and I have to say they were a success! I doubled the sauce and used ground turkey instead of chicken but the results were delicious. I will admit though, they aren't exactly a copycat recipe. Something about the sauce is off but I can't figure out what it is. Oh well….these will make a great lunch!
Tonight for dinner I am making these bad boys!
Tuna Melt in a Tomato. I don't know how I haven't seen the The Pescetarian and the Pig before but I for sure will be going back! She has some fabulous recipes!
I hope you guys had a great weekend!
I'm so sorry you weren't feeling well on Saturday but happy to hear you are on the mend!! I saw those lettuce wraps floating around pinterest - glad to hear you liked them!! The band sounds AMAZING!! I love 80's music!! Thanks for linking up doll! xo
ReplyDeleteoh boo to stomach bug, hope you are feeling better! that mexican salad looks amazing, and so does the tuna things - never heard of her so i'll be checking her out too! thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI have heard from several other people who had a stomach bug this weekend! That's stinks.. I'm glad you were feeling better quickly. All three of those recipes look delicious! I made a turkey lettuce wrap recipe once that ended horribly... I think I'd ready to try again though.. They just look so good!!

Bell's is my brother's favorite brewery, I keep meaning to check it out when I'm in town but I always forget! My favorite is in Grand Rapids—Founder's. If you haven't been, I highly recommend it!
