Missouri Cheeses - A Follow Friday Guest Post

Guest Post Contributed by Michelle Marcus
I recently returned from a trip to England where I got to taste many amazing cheeses, and each one was incredibly fresh. These cheeses I ate in England inspired me to help you find local, fresh cheese in Missouri.

Colorado Coffee Merchants

Colorado Springs isn’t a huge town, and if you took it away from the Rocky Mountains, it would be much like the hundreds of other mid-sized cities around the country.

Pikes Peak Community Cupboard Community Dinner

This afternoon I’ll be stuffing Introvert Melissa into the closet and forcing Pseudo-Extrovert Melissa out to play, as I attend the Pike’s Peak Community Cupboard Community Dinner on my own.

Busy Little Beaders Earrings

Oh. My. Goodness, I love these earrings.
I found these on Sunday at the Pikes Peak Community Cupboard food swap, and I was beyond thrilled when Amy, the woman who designed them, was equally inspired by my home made black and white photo note cards. I was a happy swapper on Sunday [...]

Pikes Peak Community Cupboard

On Sunday afternoon, we attended our first food swap hosted by Pikes Peak Community Cupboard at Care and Share – a food bank for southern Colorado - in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
I’d never attended a food swap before, and I was on an absolute high by the end of this one. The event drew 20 or 30 [...]

Dinner Meetup at Bridge Tap House & Wine Bar

Some of my favorite St. Louis restaurants are owned by the same proprietor, David Bailey. I’ve enjoyed meals at Bailey’s Chocolate Bar and Rooster, but Friday night was my first meal at Bridge Tap House & Wine Bar.
I was graced with the good company of several friends who also blog, tweet, and Yelp! about St. [...]

Last Wednesday, July 15th, I had the opportunity to participate in a food bloggers’ event with STLWineGirl, Angela Ortmann. The event, titled “Will Write for Wine”, was by invitation only, and I was flattered to be on the list. Angela’s classes are always informative, and I’ve enjoyed the classes and events I’ve attended.
This event was [...]
