Ouita Michel is an award-winning chef. She owns and runs several local restaurants in the Lexington area (collectively called Holly Hill), and all are unique and interesting. I’ve been on a few Bites of the Bluegrass tours (check out this post to see my experience with the Bites of the Bluegrass Danville tour), and I recently had the pleasure of attending a tour of locations in the Midway and Versailles areas in Kentucky, sampling some Ouita Michel creations – The Just A Few Miles South Culinary Tour. Bites of the Bluegrass is one of my favorite experiences in…
This post is Sponsored by Wendy’s®. I’m not usually a big breakfast girl, but sometimes I need a little something to get me through themorning. Wendy’s® breakfast is perfect for me to pick up on my way into work. You can orderahead through the Wendy’s app so it’s ready when you get there, it’s easy to eat at my desk,and they use fresh products, such as fresh-cracked Grade A eggs, juicy chicken breast, andapplewood smoked bacon. I tried a few items from their menu (and spoiled my coworkers with a few others…
The Grove is a new-ish spot in downtown Lexington, Kentucky. It is an overall umbrella location that hosts several local businesses. The space is absolutely gorgeous, and I’ve been a few times since they opened. I wanted to share a little about this cute little area that I’ve come to really love. Full disclosure – they did invite me to be an ambassador for the business, but this post is not sponsored in any way, and all opinions are my own. Nate’s Hideaway Nate’s Coffee has been around in Lexington for…
I’ve been to Danville, KY a few times, but it’s mostly been for softball tournaments. I haven’t really had much of a chance to explore the town and try some of the delicious food Danville has to offer (usually we only have a small amount of time to eat, and have a group of picky eaters that only want chicken tenders and burgers). I joined a walking Danville, KY Food Tour through Bites of the Bluegrass, and loved getting to explore the city and some of its tastes. We tried a variety of foods…
Kentucky is most famous for two things: horses and bourbon. The Kentucky Derby is in a little over a week, and I wanted to share a really fun recipe that combines these two things: Horse Cupcakes with Bourbon Icing. It’s the perfect (and cutest) treat to take to Derby parties, or to just enjoy by yourself. I wouldn’t suggest taking these to work parties, unless alcohol is acceptable at your workplace (it isn’t at mine). I’ve teamed up with other local bloggers to share Derby inspired posts, from outfits to recipes and…
*This post is sponsored by The Simple Greek. I was given the meals for free in exchange for my review, but was not compensated in any other way. A couple of weeks ago, The Simple Greek saw my 30 Lexington Restaurants before 30 post and invited me out to sample some of their menu items (their words, remember this). I love Greek food, and I’d seen some friends (mostly, Kelsey from Kabkitchen) post about The Simple Greek once it opened, and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. The menu starts with two options…
