I love May so this month will consist of a lot of things I love! I will try to be more diligent in posting and I will be including makeup, clothes, and favorite things I like doing in Minnesota.
First up is having random dates with Dan, he is so good about randomly scheduling me in his day for breakfast or brunch one time during the week. Sometimes we bring the baby sometimes our oldest watches him. Either way I feel so lucky and happy to have our time with him. Anyways, we recently went to a restaurant called Cafe Latte in St. Paul and it was delicious! (Side thought, I am sad it has taken us so many years for us to venture out into the cities because the street Grand has so many great options! We are trying to make an effort to try all the restaurants on the block this year.)
The restaurant is set up cafeteria style so we ordered a salad sampler first then went to the other side for their pizza. Their pizza is so good not thin, not thick, but just right in the middle and so crispy and fresh. It did take a bit for the pizza to come out but nothing crazy since it is all done made to order. We ate our salad and right when we finished it the pizza came out. We then ordered coffees and a slice of their cheesecake. In my Facebook foodie group everyone always recommends their cheesecake and yes it was delicious but I still love a different restaurant’s more…
We also went to a different restaurant a couple of weeks ago called Cafe Astoria. I frequent this one and take the kids often during the week because they love it. My oldest especially loves their strawberry and Nutella crepe with a smoothie of whatever he is craving. My middle loves their hot chocolate and loves all the crepes and the baby is so cute and eats whatever we put in front of him. This time though I was able to get a date with Dan so we got a savory crepe and a sweet crepe with a smoothie and their 24k Latte.
The last place I will mention is a local favorite and one we frequent a lot because the food and atmosphere is just always so much fun, Cravings Wine Bar. We found this place by chance and when we get an opportunity to head out for somewhere quick I always suggest this place.
The thing I love most about going out with Dan is we always share a meal so I get to taste more of everything lololol but with that means I have to eat things Dan likes. He loves chicken and spicy things so I know he compromises with me and my love of meat. The only thing he won’t eat is fish but that’s ok, he also likes his meat well done which is hard for me sometimes like when we order steak, but that isn’t often so even though this burger was well done it was still very tasty.
I am very excited to see what new places May brings us 🙂
