RESTAURANT REVIEW: Hogzilla BBQ in Battle Creek, Michigan.

Who:  Hogzilla BBQ (http://www.hogzillabbq.com/)  Phone:  (269)660-6225
What:  Delicious BBQ made, and SMOKED, in house using the best ingredients and a lot of time.
Where:  889 West Columbia Ave., Battle Creek, Michigan

In 2012 this place was voted #1 Smoked BBQ in Southwest Michigan for a reason!

Homemade sauces and a stark attention to detail make this little BBQ joint a real treat.  It is a small shop, but with great personal attention.  When we stopped in, we were in BBQ heaven.  The owner has a REAL passion for BBQ.  He spends sincere time working his craft and making it as excellent, moist, and flavorful as possible.

The garlic bread and the waffle cut fries were delicious and a fun surprise.  Everything was fresh.  You will not get your food in 2 minutes flat like other places-- here, you will wait for food of the highest quality and best craftsmanship.  You will NOT be disappointed.

Pulled Pork Sandwich:




 Pulled Chicken Sandwich:



 The aftermath.  Evidence of a great meal?  The plates... Licked clean.

This great little shop offers some unforgettable food.  You will not be disappointed!


As always, I hope you get a chance to try this delicious little nook!  It really is a treat!  Keep "Living Michigan", folks!
Location: 889 West Columbia Avenue, Battle Creek, MI 49015, USA

RECIPE: Grilled Chicken and Mozzarella Ravioli with Toasted Rosemary and Parmesan Bread

Image
This is another Costco meal! If you are lucky enough to have this store near you, this will be easy. You will need: Costco grilled chicken with mozzarella ravioli (has 2 containers in package, I only made one). Rosemary Parmesan bread Garlic (I prefer organic) Olive oil Butter I started off slicing the bread into 1/2" slices.  This bread has so much flavor, I decided not to add garlic to the bread, but you could sprinkle some seasoning on the butter so you can fry it. Start heating the water for the pasta. In a frying pan, prepare the coating for the pasta.  Mince up 1-3 cloves of garlic,  about 1 teaspoon.  I made half the package, which serves 4-5.  Melt 1/3 sick of butter in the pan on medium heat.  Add the minced garlic. WATCH that garlic. With a spatula (I use a silicone, high temp spatula), stir the garlic/butter/olive oil mix every 30 seconds or so. As soon as the garlic starts turning brown, turn it off and stir one more time. Place the buttered bread

Stuart’s Landing: Boardwalk in Marshall, Michigan

Image
Stuart's Landing is home to a beautiful walkway that we were able to visit today.  Located at 603 Homer Road, in Marshall, Michigan, it is a gorgeous place to fish, walk, relax, and even to exercise.  The below plaque hangs on the deck near the riverbank, and I whole-heartedly agree with the sentiment:  God must be an outdoorsman.  The way we decided to take, the boardwalk "starts" at Stuart's Landing, and travels westward along the Kalamazoo River.  Sounding more like a nature preserve than a public boardwalk, it is a very relaxing and beautiful place to be.  I do not know how long the path is, but it has to be well over a mile of stunningly fresh, green, and safe boardwalk.  We would, however, recommend a can of bug spray to really enjoy your walk.  :-)  The path is clear and safe for strollers and even wheelchairs.  It allows you to clear your brain, listen to the water, the birds, and the leaves rustling around you-- with no need to get your feet dirty (unless

RESTAURANT REVIEW: Gallagher's Eatery & Pub, in Kalamazoo, MI

Image
          Today, August 22nd, is my Hubby's and my "Mona-Versary" (monthly anniversary).  We got the idea from a wonderful, favorite couple of ours.  Consequently, we always try to do something fun and special on this date-- even if it is just popcorn and a movie at home.            However, we thought that we would go to one of our favorite places-- Gallagher's Eatery & Pub (Irish/American), located at 4210 Stadium Dr., Kalamazoo, MI 49008. http://gallagherseatery.com/Locations/Kalamazoo.aspx   This restaurant, and the pub-side of it, are well known for their Irish fare of food, beers, beer club, and other such things. If you do seek a good pub experience, check out that side of the restaurant! (The below double-decker bus is one of my favorites!  It is also available to rent!) THE EXPERIENCE :                 It was 6:45pm on a Monday night-- we had the restaurant side to ourselves.  Our waitress took our order by memory.  We ordered the Potato Skins w
