Utica Wedding Photo Diary



This past weekend we celebrated Max's buddy from college in a small town near Detroit, called Utica. The wedding was an eating, drinking and dancing fest from start to finish. It's no secret that I love weddings!

Here is our photo diary.

80’s in April! - Picture Diary


A couple of weeks ago, Michigan experienced some pretty awesome weather. Two eighty degree days in a row and we in the midwest were in heaven. Max and I decided to head to the Holland lakeshore to take advantage of the beautiful sunshine. We quick stopped into a co-workers brewery then it was off the beach. The beach which was colder than we expected but still a beautiful sight to see.... and a perfect start to the Spring & Summer months.

Valentine’s Day 2016


Call us cheesy, but for Valentine’s Day Max and I made a heart shaped pizza! I know I know we’re lame, sappy dorks, but it combined both of us perfectly… he loves to cook and I love being sappy (and who doesn’t love pizza). Enter heart shaped pizza! We picked up all the supplies on Saturday then Sunday afternoon (after MSU basketball) went to town on the dough! He (and obviously myself) had never made homemade pizza dough so it was an experience! A messy experiment if you will… 

All in all it turned out GREAT. So delicious. We topped it with 3 kinds of sausage, pepperoni, mushroom, green pepper and onion, fresh mozzarella and (jarred) marinara.  It was so good! Bon appetit!

Happy 700th post Chat + Clink + Repeat!

Date Night – the Old Goat


(image via)

Max and I have fallen into a bit of a funk lately, between the holidays and the winter blues, and decided that we wanted to get back to exploring our city (yes, more me than him but it’s the actions that count!). So, with that being said, Max and I decided that we’re going to try (TRY being the operative word) to have one date night per week where we head out to a new place we’ve never been in Grand Rapids.

Last week we tried the Old Goat in Alger Heights (same owners as Electric Cheetah). This restaurant has been open since the summer and we’ve heard mixed reviews on it. Some say they love it and others say it was overpriced and left a little something to be desired. Max and I would agree that it was a tad overpriced, but also think the food was delicious. He got the Reuben (typical) and I decided to go for broke and get the grits with Andouille and fried rock shrimp. YUMMMMMM. The drinks were tasty and the biscuits were a nice little touch.

We’ll be back…
