I LOVE good food! This unfortunately is complicated by being gluten intolerant but I do my best to work around it and always am able to find something to eat. One of my favorite things to do is explore restaurants as well as to go back to favorites and try as many things on their menu as possible. This is a round up of the food pictures I have taken in the past month. 

DiModa - Fig and Prosciutto Pizza. This pizza was so good I have had it twice in one month!

Good City Brewing Company - Chicken Sandwich on Gluten Free Bun with Curry Fries

Beerline Cafe - Crepe Suzette

Beerline Cafe - Rosemary-Garlic Red Potatoes and Strawberry Turmeric Lemonade, had with the Crepe Suzette

Summerfest - Bacon Wrapped Prime Rib Bites from Ward's House of Prime Rib. These were SO AMAZING!

Summerfest - Prime Rib Sandwich from Ward's House of Prime Rib. Ended up not eating the bun just the prime rib.

Summerfest - Lemonade. This is the only way the cup would fit in my hand. Amazing Lemonade!

Kompali - Tacos (from left to right) Nopales (sauteed cactus), Shrimp, and Al Pastor all on Corn Tortillas. Not a fan of the cactus the texture was off for me. With a Mango Margarita to drink.

Finally have counter space for my panini maker. This was one of my go-to's this month. Turkey, Pepper Jack Cheese, Spinach, Tomato and Mayo on Trader Joe's multi grain Gluten Free Bread,

Beerline Cafe - Hash Brown Benedict. This was very good and I was pleasantly surprised by the tofu ham. 

Beerline Cafe - paired with the previous picture a Honey and Fresh Berries Crepe

Wandering around the East Side one day I dragged my boyfriend into a little gift shop. This was sometime in early April and we have since been back at least four times!

If possible I absolutely love to shop local. Shopping local supports people within my communities and helps to keep shops I love open! I especially love shops like this because I am able to find unique gifts their intended recipient likely doesn't have and will hopefully love. 

I got both of my parents the Milwaukee Skyline Mugs for Mother's/Father's day, I knew if I didn't get them both one my dad would glom on to my moms (I was right he was eyeing it the first time she used it). I also found all natural bug spray (from Tippecanoe Herbs) and lip balm for my mom. I got a lip balm for myself as well and it is my current favorite. I can't wait to try some of their other bath and body products. 

My boyfriend got his mom a candle for mothers day. It is currently not available in The Waxwing online shop, it was Love Potion #9 by Brookly Candle Studio and it smelled AMAZING!  

For his dads birthday he picked up a copy of State of Craft Beer, which is such a cool coffee table book.

Recently I saw they had restocked some mugs and knew I needed to get them for one of my best friends and I. 

Another thing I absolutely love about this store is their support of different causes. During Pride Fest they donated 10% of all sales to CourageMKE supporting LGBTQ youth. This week they are supporting different causes donating 10% of all sales daily to help with the Crisis at the US with Immigrant Families and Refugees. These are just two examples I have noticed since following them!

I 100% plan on shopping here in the future, both for home items for myself as well as gift! 

Note: All pictures were taken from The Waxwing Instagram...Since most of these were gifts I forgot to take pictures before they were wrapped. I will link what I can below.
