We had girls lunch at Tanzenwald Brewing Company in early July, which means, yes, this review is coming a month late but it’s been a busy summer so you’ll have to forgive me!

Mi Pueblo | Stillwater, MN
My family was trying to find a place to grab lunch and my sister and I had just driven by Mi Pueblo and realized they were open now so we decided that’s where we should all go – we ended up very happy with our choice!
Mi Pueblo is located in a space where a few restaurants have been in over time, but I was really impressed with the interior and food.

Xelas has been open in Stillwater for a while so when my sister suggested it for dinner I was pumped to finally get to try it out.
The original restaurant, El Sazon, is located inside a BP Gas Station in Eagan and I have been hearing about how great it is for years, so I was very excited when they opened this larger location; Xelas by El Sazon in Stillwater. As far as I can remember, I haven’t had Mayan cuisine before, and not to ruin the review but you should just know up front it was delicious.

I’m going to apologize ahead of time, because we were in a group of 5 and I did not pay attention to what everyone was ordering I was too keyed up waiting for queso dip….so make sure you check out the menu below for all the details.
Fiesta Mexican Grill is in the same strip mall as the Kowalskis in Stillwater. Technically the city is Oak Park Heights, but everyone just refers to the whole area as Stillwater…the Stillwater High School is next door.

Last Friday I had a Northeast Minneapolis girls night with some friends starting with dinner at Olive & Lamb and ending at some of the local Northeast establishments for cocktails.
This was my first time eating at Olive & Lamb and actually gave me a strong sense of nostalgia as I used to live a few blocks from that building and had been there for lunch when it was a deli…I miss that neighborhood!
Continue readingMinari | Northeast Minneapolis, MN
My friend Mikayla invited me along to her girl’s night dinner at Minari and I was ecstatic, because on top of it’s only been open a short while and already having heard such amazing things, it’s gives me great joy to head back to my old Northeast Minneapolis neighborhood.
I’m happy to report that this trip was well worth it.

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.
