Dish Cafe & Ambrosia Gelato - Traverse City, MI

Before all the visitors arrived in Traverse City my Mom and I had a day to run errands, get groceries and spend some time together before the craziness began!  We took some time out from running around to have lunch in downtown Traverse City.  I had heard great things about Dish Cafe, so that's where we ended up.  They are known to have all natural ingredients in their food and specifically their great smoothies.  Smoothies would have to wait for the next visit, we both ordered soup and sandwiches this time.  First cane the tomato curry soup, which was so delicious!

For my half of sandwich I had the smoked turkey which came with tomatoes, avocado, cheese and honey mustard.  And a pickle side of course!  I really liked the lunch selection at the cafe, and will hopefully be back soon to try more of their menu and the famous smoothies.

On our way back to the car we walked by Ambrosia gelato, and it twisted our arms and we had to stop!  They had a lot of flavors and my mom ordered the cherry gelato.  While in Traverse City you have to get your fill of cherries!  

I ordered the salted caramel.  It was so tasty!  I loved the little chocolate A's they put on top of each scoop. This place was really new, when we went it they had only been open for two weeks, so make sure if you're in the area you try them out and help support new businesses in the area! 

Posh Nosh Market - Plano, TX

Posh Nosh Market recently opened in downtown Plano, and I was so happy I had the chance to try it before I left for Arizona. They're so new their website isn't really functional yet, but the restaurant is definitely ready for business! The inside is really cute, and has a great atmosphere.  I went for dinner by myself one night and sat and read my Bon Appetit magazine and people watched.

They have a huge variety of gelato...as if I could ever turn that down.

They have a cold and hot sandwich and salad menu with daily specials such as fish, chicken, steak.  I ordered the BLT with avocado.  It came with amazing fries that had the perfect seasoning.  It was delish, the bread really made this sandwich great.

Tried the lemon bar for dessert, it was sweet and tasty!  

Be sure you try the gelato when you go, it's a must!  I really hope this place takes off, it's a great addition to the Plano area and the food is awesome  Let me know if you try it out, I only had the opportunity to try one thing so let me know if you have anything else that you loved! 

Happy Monday :) 

Three Things I'm Loving Right Now

Sorry I have been MIA for the past couple of weeks.  With visitors, and C's graduation it's been very busy.  I should be back on track next week.  Until then, here are three things I'm loving right now.

Gelato from Central Market.  Because I need to get my taste buds ready for an Italy trip this fall.

Mia (kinda) learning how to swim.  Because, minus my weird man laugh, you can't help but smile.

Neon nail polish.  Because, well, do I need a reason?

Hope you all have a great week!
