Hello, blog! Man, life has been busy. So busy, in fact, I've forgotten to write. However, I have created some decent eats and eaten in some fabulous brand new restaurants!
Just today I went to a new crepe place over on Trowbridge Road in East Lansing.
American Crepes (www.facebook.com/americancrepes) is a locally owned establishment for all your crepe needs! Today I had a turkey club crepe. All the awesomeness of turkey club sanwich but housed in the delisiousness of a delicate crepe. I highly recommend this clean, well-run eatery. And, ask some foodie friends who may have gone there - perhaps they can give you an insight into American Crepes' "secret menu."

All of that was written awhile ago. Ok, seriously, now I'm back, and in the middle of moving my household and totally changing my life, I decided to take the time to write. I'm hoping its as cathartic as I want/need it to be.
I joined pinterest (which, at first I thought had something to do with pine trees, don't ask me why). And I see all these beautiful food creations and I think, "Why can't I do that?" Then I come the conclusion that I can. I can do that, and more. I am really in love with my new kitchen. Its beautiful, open and generally inspiring. I want to cook in it for myself and for Boyfriend who is now my roommate! I have heard studies as recently as a couple weeks ago that when people move in together, they have a tendency to gain weight. BF and I are determined not to be a part of this statistic. So, we will take steps to eat healthy both in and out of the home.
I wish I could show more of the food I've made in the past couple of weeks, but my phone was lost and I don't have any of the images. Suffice it to say, the beet soup was purple, and the tomato-artichoke-broccoli sauce-type thing was good over spaghetti (even though it was burned a little because I forgot about it).
As far as dining out, I haven't tried anything too new, I continue to love my staple places - Leo's Spirits and Grub in Okemos (great burger), Sindhu's Restaurant (great Indian) in East Lansing and American Crepes. I just went there last night again and had a good crepe with my name on it. (Seriously, ask for the Abby Special when you go in - its got BACON!) I did venture up north to Bay City, MI and had an awesome version of the Korean dish Bibambap at a restaurant called Pi's. Their buffet looked good, as well.
Until next time, peeps. Do good. Eat well.
