Oh, so YUMMY!!

So, I've noticed that I haven't been writing so much on this blog because of my love for cupcakes and posting my wonderful cupcakes on Treat Yourself Cupcakes Blog spot.

But Jim and myself have found a wonderful restaurant that we BOTH love. Where is this marvelous place you ask? None other than 75th Street Brewery in Kansas City MO. It has wonderful food and yes beer!



I give it two thumbs up and suggest that you all go and check it out!
