Although you might assume that all Southern cuisine is the same, there are actually a lot of distinct regions with unique culinary traditions. Traditional cooking and food preservation methods and recipes vary even within a single state. In Kentucky, for instance, the traditional foods of the Appalachian mountain region differ greatly from those of the western portion of the state. For this reason, unless you are familiar with Appalachian recipes, you cannot fully understand Southern cooking.

I moved to Detroit when my husband and I were starting to get serious. He used to live right next to Comerica Park—back in the day, I could just say “the building with the whales on it,” but sadly, that mural has since been covered up. A few years before we we got married, he bought our first home in the Woodbridge neighborhood, and now we’re living in a beautiful 1890s Victorian in Midtown. One of the best parts about living in the city is being so close to so many amazing restaurants! Here are some of our favorite brunch spots in Detroit. Since we have an almost 4-year-old, we tend to stick to places that are family-friendly and easy to enjoy with a little one in tow.

I only source food from organic and grass-fed and finished privately or employee owned small business brands. If they are owned by corporations, they shouldn't be on this list (but it sure is hard to keep up as many sell out eventually). See “Where to Order” as most of the products and brands you'll find here are available from either Vitacost or iHerb online or Azure Standard or both. You can also buy them directly from the brand, but that only makes sense if you want them in bulk (due to minimum purchases required to get free shipping). Vitacost has free shipping for $50+ orders and a lot of promotions and discounts. Be sure to check their “Promo Pocket” tabs.NOTE: I only recommend brands and products owned by private or employee owned companies. But you can buy them through corporations which is sometimes the only local or online source if the brand doesn't retail their products online. And sadly, most brands price very high on their own sites because they don't want to compete with the retailers. For example, Chewy is publicly traded and 80% owned by private equity. Vitacost sold out to Kroger = corporate owned. The problem is they both are massive and have deals with shippers, so their prices are vastly lower than anywhere else.
My relationship with food hasn’t always been perfect, but I’ve come to realize that food is so important to my physical and mental health. Its crucial to be aware of what is going in to your body.

Let's be honest, for us picky eaters, most qucik, high-protien options are disgusting. The texture is repulsive and chalky, the taste is just gross. Over the past two years of my weighlifting journey I have spent a ton of money finding things that work for me. This list contains those items. Of course, the muffins will never be exactly like a muffin and the protien water will never exactly be just flavored water. But these items are all tolerable and almost enjoyable. Please check them out and let me know what you think!

I’ve tested more pods than I can count, and these are the machines and flavors I swear by, time and time again. Consider this your shortcut to the perfect cup. 🤍
Snacks are getting expensive so I have spent a lot of time and money figuring out which ones are worth it and the ones that give the best bang for buck! 😁
