Sweets for Cheaps!

Short snippet of a cute little bakery and cake shop we stumbled into today while doing a little shopping.

Capital City Cakes, Grove City OH

This was our first time here, and we kind of had difficulty finding it. We called the number listed online, and they were helpful enough to get us going in the right direction, although they closed within the half hour.

To my surprise when we found the small bakery it was quite welcoming. They had a few small glass display cases set up and we decided to try a few random things since we weren't sure what we would enjoy the most!

Pictured below: pistachio lemon cupcake

I'm a big fan of nearly anything pistachio. So upon first glance I decided I had to have one of these. The woman who was getting the items reassured me that it was really good. So I was excited to try it. It wasn't the best cupcake that I've had, and maybe not even in the top cupcakes that I've been able to try. I was slightly disappointed, mainly because the bakery is supposed to be famous mainly for the cakes they produce. But it wasn't a bad cupcake either, it was simply alright.

Seth and I both decided we needed a entire cookie to our self. And we were not disappointed in this decision. The cookies weren't soft, but the outer edges were crispy and the inside was chewy. It would have paired very well with a glass of milk.

Seth also ordered a small piece of baklava, but had it devoured before I was able to get a quick picture!

All in all it was a nice little place for something sweet and cheap. I almost forgot to mention the cookies were only $1 a piece, the cupcakes were $2.50 and they also have a few other items all of which were fairly priced.

Roosters, it's an Ohio thing!

We are so proud to be from Ohio for so many reasons, and Roosters being one of them! Roosters is a restaurant that only 'Ohioans' or Ohio visitors know about. It's not a five star fancy schmansy restaurant, just a tasty and fun place to eat at on a weekend or after a long days work. The famous slogan really speaks for itself "A fun, casual, joint", but it doesn't happen to mention the delicious food they have available! We are regular Rooster customers, we usually go a couple of times a month. We usually stick with our favorites from the menu, but you really can't go wrong with anything they have to offer. Whether it's the loaded nachos, a burger, or their tender boneless wings dipped in your choice of TOP OF THE LINE wing sauce, you wont be disappointed. Most of the time we go with the boneless wings drenched in tangy sweet Thai chili sauce. The quality of the meat is unbeatable, but the big kicker for us is the sauce. The sweet

Breakfast Time at Table 1

Being Ohio natives we were happy to find an independent restaurant near us. It had Great decor, and the restaurant itself had a visually fun and hip/modern look (no surprise here.. most small businesses take this role). The lighting was at a relaxing level, they placed numbers above the tables to try and give a unique look. Enough about the decor though, lets move on to the important Tids! First things first, drink options. They had a small variety of drinks offering the usual selections - Soda, Water, Tea, O-J, Milk. We decided on getting the Cola, because we had a long drive ahead - we were headed for Amish Country in Millersburg OH. (Blog soon to come..) Our server seemed to be lacking some energy that day as well, I mean it was Saturday. She brought our drinks and we were surprised to see more than a simple cup, Coca-cola served to you in a jar! Enough mumbo about the drinks though, onward to the main course. We both opted for The eggs Benedict. We were unsure o

The Ale House May be Good for Whatever Ails You

All of you Ohio natives out there, if you havent been to Ale house 1890 in Lancaster Ohio you are definitely missing out. They have wonderful hamburgers and so many to menu items to choose from! All of these burgers are specially made with their own selection of fresh ingredients. They definitely know their way around a burger! They also have new specials pretty frequently such as fried macoroni! (See review for fried Macoroni below!) so go in and don't miss them! Ale House 1890 Our first pick from the menu was the Barnyard Burger. Barnyard Burger This burger was an absolute taste masterpiece! The first bite I took I could immediately taste the sweetness of marmalade and the grilled taste of the patty which collided with each other creating a wonderful taste combination. The garlic aoli was a nice touch to the burger as well, better than mayonnaise if you ask me! Also the micro greens was a great bonus to an already delcious sandwich. And what is better on a b
