MACS | Wisconsin Dells, WI

I had previously visited MACS Macaroni and Cheese Shop on the return trip from Chicago with my sister, niece and Mom and I was determined to get back there so this last weekend on the way home from visiting some friends in Madison I convinced husband we had to stop. However, I didn’t realize that the location my sister had taken us to was the Baraboo one and not the Wisconsin Dells so I did get a little turned around not recognizing where I was and it was definitely crazier trying to find parking, but still so worth the detour.

Azul Tequila 2024 | Hudson, Wisconsin

I previously reviewed Azul Tequila Bar and Grill in Hudson, Wisconsin back in 2019 so it was about time for a refresh! The main difference was that this time I was able to experience the patio!

National Grilled Cheese Day | Twin Cities Top 5

Cheese and sandwiches are two of my favorite foods so of course I’m obsessed with National Grilled Cheese Day. I’ll admit that lately my favorite grilled cheese sandwiches are made by my husband (his are honestly ELITE), but for those of you without a live in home chef who understands that there is really never enough cheese 😂 I thought I’d share my top 5 🧀 over the years in the Twin Cities!

And as an added bonus, you can scroll to the bottom for the Distastefully Tommy recipe 🎉

Boomin Barbecue | Hudson, WI

Every year we have a March Madness bracket with my parents and instead of the winner getting a pool of cash, we play where the loser owes everyone dinner. After a damn near 10 year streak of having dinner bought for me, I regret to share that this year I was officially the loser. The plus side is that it meant that I got to pick where we had dinner!

I’d been hearing such amazing things about Boomin Barbecue ever since they moved out of Minneapolis to the Nova Bar in Hudson and since my parents were staying at my sister’s IN Hudson it was the perfect opportunity to check them out!

Kennedy’s Cafe | Somerset, WI

We had a girls day that started off with us playing Purse Bingo at The Sportsman to raise money for the Somerset Community Food Shelf and then headed over to Kennedy’s Cafe for lunch. Such a cute little diner.

Little Italy | Hudson, WI

Little Italy is the newest Italian restaurant in Hudson, WI and my sister, Andrea, is the Operations Manager there. I’m putting that first to be fully transparent, but if anyone knows our family, they would also know if we don’t agree with something or think it sucks we’re the first to tell one another haha, so I assure you that I am only posting this because the food is legitimately really good and I was not asked to.

It actually even worked out perfectly so I was able to go to dinner while Andrea was working and with our other sister, Ashley! There’s nothing better than stolen sister time!

Bass Lake Cheese Factory | Somerset, Wisconsin

Our adventure to Bass Lake Cheese Factory started with my brother-in-law innocently breaking out their cheese and ended with my sister insisting we go there to get a Silly Dilly Grilled Cheese since I had never been and they now have a bar! It WAS her birthday party so who am I to fight with her about going to a cheese factory and eating cheese curds?!

Azul Tequila Bar and Grill | Hudson Wisconsin

Nothing says “Happy Birthday” like tacos! I was excited to go out for impromptu dinner with my parents for my mom’s birthday in Hudson. I was even more excited when my mom picked Azul Tequila Bar and Grill, because I live for queso dip.

Have Ya Herd Corn Maze | Hudson Wisconsin

For YEARS I have wanted to do a corn maze. It was a dream come true when boyfriend said he wanted to do a fall date day and that I could pick the activity! Knowing his love for puzzles, the Have Ya Herd Corn Maze was the perfect marriage of goats and an outdoor activity that I love AND the problem solving and puzzles that he loves…sometimes I know how to compromise 😉 .

White Pine Berry Farm | River Falls Wisconsin

Fall has so many activities; apple picking, pumpkin patches, and corn mazes! White Pine Berry Farms Fall Family Days are the perfect family fall activity. They have a bouncy house, animals to feed and pet, a free hay ride, pumpkins, raspberry picking AND a corn maze!

Unfortunately, when I went with my sister and her family it was opening weekend we weren’t able to check out the corn maze, because it was way too muddy, but we did get to check out all the other fun fall activities! Literally the best part about fall is that no one bats an eye when I ask to tag along to their family activities haha. Continue reading
