What better way to spend an hour on the 4th of July than strolling through our local Iowa City Farmer’s Market? So come along with me and see how our Saturday mornings in Iowa City look…and taste! Got Salad? Fresh Is Best! Kale yes! I can see better already! Antler Ridge Elk Ranch Chris and […]
Lucky’s Market – Iowa City, Iowa
Today was Opening Day for Lucky’s Market in Iowa City… Lucky’s Market Website And I walked through the door with no preconceived idea of what to expect. So as I entered the store, the first word that came to mind was…WOW!!! For a Foodie like me…this is better than Disney World!!! […]
King Tower Cafe – Tama, Iowa
It’s hard to believe this cafe is located the the HEART of The Heartland… To me, it looks like a page right out of an old Western novel… But it’s not out West…It’s in the heart of the Meskwaki Indian territory… In Tama, Iowa! We […]
Hy-Vee – Coralville, Iowa
We’ve found a great way to save some money and LOTS of calories for breakfast… Simply head to a Hy-Vee Marketplace Restaurant. (We like the Coralville location.) Start by sipping a cup of fresh brewed coffee…and then order a Denver Omelet. Now…here is the IMPORTANT part… Ask for a […]
Iowa Arts Festival – Iowa City, Iowa
As most of you know…I ALWAYS have my phone ready to snap pictures wherever we are…But last Saturday night was a sad exception to that rule. We jumped in a cab to head to downtown Iowa City and we were already several blocks from our house when I realized I had forgotten my phone! And […]
American Gothic House – Eldon, Iowa
OK…Did you recognize this house?? Does THIS help? Or maybe THIS? (Scowls are another clue…we’re NOT actually angry. And Hubby’s 5 o’clock shadow really makes him look like a criminal…but he’s really harmless!) Have you figured it out? The black object in our picture is another clue […]
Home Town Cafe – Millersburg, Iowa
Sometimes we’re up for an adventure, and today was one of those days. I decided I was NOT cooking tonight, and instead of heading to one of our usual hangouts in Iowa City, I asked hubby if he was up for a “road trip”. So we set off…on the Road Less Traveled…for our 40 mile […]

Hurricane Grill & Wings – Cedar Rapids, Iowa
After my grandson’s first Christmas concert, we took our Iowa family out for dinner. And we picked a brand new spot to try. In fact, it was the ONE WEEK Anniversary of the restaurant’s opening! Even though it was a cold and rainy night in Iowa, we felt like we had walked into one of […]
RIDE – Iowa City, Iowa
What should you expect when you visit a new restaurant in Iowa City called RIDE? How about WHEELS… Everywhere! We were greeted by Roc, the owner, who seated us, and then gave me a tour of the restaurant. I was impressed with the unique decor and innovative menu. (I do hope they […]
