Your Guide to Vegetarian Eats
I spent Earth Day weekend in Marquette where I was constantly surround by amazing food, fun people, and fresh Lake Superior air. Here’s a few things I did and ate while wandering around this upper peninsula, college town.
We toured the production facility of Blackrocks Brewery where I tried their acclaimed American wheat ale, Honey Lav, before it was released for the season.
(more…)I grew up in St. Joseph, and I was lucky to be surrounded by so many delicious restaurants. I love visiting so I can indulge in my favorite spots from my childhood. Autumn is the best season to visit Michigan, and I just spent a weekend in the area soaking up the crisp autumn air and fall fresh flavors.
One of my favorite restaurants in Benton Harbor is the Mason Jar Cafe, and their pumpkin pancakes autumn special is the perfect filling breakfast on a chilly morning. I love how these pancakes taste with their savory breakfast potatoes. I don’t drink coffee, but I do love their chai latte.

I went on my first backpacking trip to Isle Royale a few weeks ago, and I had such a great time exploring the small island surrounded by Lake Superior. I went with three of my friends, and we ended up hiking around 37 miles total over four days. We camped at Three Mile, Daisy Farm, and Moskey Basin. We were pretty lucky that it barely rained during our trip, and we even plunged into Lake Superior one day after our hike.
Every day I looked forward to heating up one of my backpacking meals for dinner at the end of the day. I was pleasantly surprised with how delicious the backpacking food was. All I has to do was add boiling water to the package, stir, and wait for the food to moisten. I’ve learned to add a little less water than what it calls for to make the food less watery. Both Backpacker’s Pantry and Mountain House have a variety of vegetarian/vegan options with my favorites being the Pad Thai, Kathmandu Curry, and Veggie Chorizo Breakfast Scramble.
