Weekends (or Mondays) are for waffles! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We don't think you can go wrong with this sweet & salty combo featuring our very favorite @theHerbivorousb bacon and cheese. The perfect salty/sweet combo. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hope your weekend was grand!

There is always something new for us to discover in @TravelDubuque! We've been to #WhereIowaStarted a half dozen times but never made it to the #JulienDubuqueMonument in the Mines of Spain Recreation Area. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Julien was granted the right by the Mesquakie Indians to mine their land for lead. He settled the land just south of where this monument sits, founding the first Euro-American settlement of what is now Iowa! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Julien eventually married Potosa, the daughter of Chief Potosi. When Julien died, he was given tribal honors and is buried beneath this mausoleum overlooking the Mines of Spain area. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Brazen Open Kitchen is a fun foodie experience. The menu is inventive and gourmet, the ambiance is sophisticated against exposed brick in the Historic Millwork District. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We love craft beer but the drink menu was calling Kelly's name. The Chapman (drink on the right) was crafted of Cruzan Black Strap Rum. Appleton Estate run, Czipar's Cider, lime, cinnamon and walnut bitters. It was marvelous. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

While touring #WhereIowaStarted in Dubuque, we dined at Pepper Sprout. There were no vegan options on the menu but our waitress spoke with the Chef who asked if a vegetable curry would be ok. YES! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Chef Kim Wolff created this incredible vegetable curry. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have had plenty of vegetable curry and none have tasted like this. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Chef Kim included four types of mushroom- portobello mushroom, shiitake, maitake, and chicken of the woods, garlic, shallots, carrot, yellow squash, tomatoes, and broccoli deglazed in white wine, and then she added both green & red curry. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Add Pepper Sprout to your itinerary when visiting #Dubuque. Chef Kim creates a new menu every season and uses fresh, local ingredients. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Taking time to reflect on our road trip to @haywar

Taking time to reflect on our road trip to @hayward_wisconsin and planning a return visit .
We were there when the fall colors were just setting in. We’re going plan a return visit next year when the fall colors are at peak. Northern Wisconsin is beautiful every season but especially dreamy in the fall.

We made it to Stalk & Spade! This is a plant-based fast-food restaurant and is it ever good!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The 'Shroom Burger and Fiesta Burger were dynamite and we loved the skinny fries. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This was the kind of menu where we basically wanted one of everything. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Guess this means we will just have to go back for more!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you been?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
