Week 6

Josh and I might have a slight addiction to Groupons...and by slight I mean we definitely need a support group. On week 6 we had a Groupon filled weekend!

We had a Groupon for a new wine bar in the loop called Rittergut Wine Bar and had a flight of wine and some cheese, the perfect dinner.

On Saturday we used our Groupons for the Chicago Auto Show.  Here were some of our favorite cars...

On Sunday we watched this little beauty get Baptized (no Groupon required)

Week 7 (part 1)

Week 7 we did a LOT so we figured it is easier to do multiple posts...so here is part 1

On Wednesday we went to the Luminous Field at the Bean in Millennium Park. 

Week 5

This week we decided to break out all those awesome kitchen appliances we got as wedding gifts and try some new recipes.

We made all this food for the big game, there were only 3 of us, clearly we made WAY too much.  For appetizers we made Cauliflower and Feta Dip and Jalapeno hummus.

For dinner we made Bourbon Chicken and Asian Style Green Beans.

And for dessert we used our ice cream attachment to our Kitchen Aid and made vanilla strawberry ice cream.

Week 4

On Saturday we walked over to the library to see if they had any museum passes.  We were super excited to see they had the Shedd Aquarium pass, but the guy in front of us got it...lame.  On the way home we passed Branko's Sandwich shop.  We have walked past this place a thousand times but have never gone in. 

The food was good, very traditional Italian sub, but we will definitely go back just to see the lady that works there.  The shop has been there since 1976, and its family owned.  The lady behind the counter (I like to think he name is Rose) asked if we lived in the area and told us to come back anytime, she is there 90 hours a week.  As we were leaving she said if we ever need a cup of sugar to come by.  So sweet!

Week 3

We are not really sure how, but we won tickets to a Three Floyds Brewery Dinner.  It was hosted by Whole Foods in Lincoln Park (aka the most amazing place ever).  I loved the food and Josh enjoyed the beer.  Overall it was a great night and we definitely want to make a trip out to the Three Floyds Brewery in the future.

Week 2

Though Josh and I have both been to New York, we have never been there together...so week 2 was our trip to New York

We ate LOTS of Pizza

We had so much fun with our sister...

 We went to Yankee Stadium

 We took at few naps

 We went to Strawberry Fields and The Dakota

 We visited the new 9/11 Memorial

 We went ice skating in Central Park (Josh's first time!)

 And we went to the top of the Empire State Building

 Overall it was a great trip, we had so much fun doing new things in New York!

Week 1

Michigan Wine Tasting

Last month Josh and I bought a voucher on Livingsocial for an 8 hour Michigan wine tasting trip.  Clearly different than the wine tasting we are used to, but it was a lot of fun and definitly something we will do again.  Neither Josh and I have ever been to Michigan so it was our first "something new" of 2012.
