Wheelhouse Downtown Brunch!

-
Over Valentine's Day weekend, my brother came back home to St. Louis for the weekend, which usually means a family brunch on Sunday!  We had been talking for so long about trying this boozy brunch out, and we certainly were not disappointed!

We started our meal out with bottomless mimosas!  The waitress gives you a bracelet to know which members of the party ordered bottomless mimosas and bring out pitchers for refills instead of having to wait for every time the waitress comes out, which I loved!  We started with a pitcher of the classic mimosas with just champagne and orange juice, and another pitcher of the Wheelmosa, which is pineapple, Sprite, Aperol, and rosé.


The Wheelmosa ended up being a favorite at the table, although the original ones were good too!

We also started with an order of donut holes for the table.  You can get them with powdered sugar, chocolate sauce, or cinnamon and apple butter.  We got chocolate sauce, and WOW these ended up being way better than we originally thought they would be!  They were definitely better than you're average donut hole!


They have a great variety or classic and original brunch options here and we were all very excited to try them!  I ended up getting the "Bikini Bottom" which is poached eggs, wilted spinach, crab cakes, and hollandaise served with breakfast potatoes.


I normally am weary with getting seafood in the Midwest, but a crab cake sounded really good to me that morning.  I'm so glad I went with this instead of the classic eggs benedict, because this was amazing!  My mom and great-grandma ended up getting this as well and all three of us loved it!

My brother got the waffles and he was a little disappointed because he wished that they were thicker, like Belgian-style waffles, but he hate everything so he liked them overall!  My grandma got the OG Eggs Benedict which she loved, my dad got a burger with fries and veggies slaw.  He loved the burger, but was not a fan of the veggie slaw.  The man loves his cole slaw, so he can be very picky with it!  Lastly, my grandpa got the pork lover's omelette which looked like more pork than omelette, but he ate all of it and said it was great, too!

Overall, my whole family Wheelhouse Downtown!  I was a little nervous about bringing my grandparents here since it's more of a young crowd, if you know what I mean.  However, they loved it, even my 92-year-old great-grandma, and my grandparents kept telling me throughout the week after how much they enjoyed it and loved trying new places.  I think my brother would have enjoyed it more if he was 21, but he still has a few more months to wait lol.

We will definitely be back to Wheelhouse Downtown, and I would love to try it for dinner or something before a Blues or Cardinals game!  If you live in the STL area or are coming to visit, I highly recommend!

xoxo,
Hannah

February/March Content Consumption

Since my family and I are 100% practicing social distancing right now, we have been staying home and consuming so  much content.  I realized I never posted a February content consumption post, but that's mainly because I read a ton of books and only watched one TV show...so it really would have been pretty boring.  Although March is already almost over, I thought I would just combine the two now in case you all want to read/watch what I did these past two months while you're social distancing! BOOKS The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown: 9.5/10 //  All I can say about this book is wow .  My family and I got this book for my grandpa for Christmas a few years ago and he still says it's his favorite gift he has ever gotten.  I had been wanting to read it, but I kept putting it off since I don't know much about rowing and I wasn't sure if I would find it enjoyable.  I finally borrowed the book from my grandpa and wow am I glad I did!...

Who I Watch On YouTube

Since I am currently at home for Spring Break and not going on a trip, I am spending a lot of break watching YouTube!  I've been watching YouTube for so long and have added and gotten rid of subscriptions for years.  I am always so interested in seeing who other people watch, so I thought I would share some of my faves!  So without further ado, here is my YouTube Subscription List! 1. ABBY ASSELIN I started following Abby about a month ago, and I'm so so glad that I found her!  She is a sophomore at the University of Alabama who mainly does "College Day in My Life" videos.  They are some of my favorite videos to watch, and she gives me a lot of ideas such as healthy meals, workout routines, and study tips!  It also helps that her dog is absolutely adorable! 2. GRETCHEN GERAGHTY Gretchen's channel is another recent find.  I started watching her videos in January and am so  glad that I subscribed!  She is another YouTuber in colle...

What I Eat At College

This year is really the first year that I have started cooking for myself.  Freshman year I lived in a dorm, so I would either eat microwavable macaroni and cheese, eat at the dining halls, or go out to eat.  Sophomore year I lived in a sorority house, so we had a chef that cooked lunch and dinner for us throughout the week.  This year, I live in an off campus house which means I have to go grocery shopping for myself and actually cook some meals.  It took a lot of getting used to in the beginning, but now it's actually kinda fun to plan out what I want to eat and make it.  So here is what I eat throughout the week. BREAKFAST What I eat for breakfast usually depends on how much time I have in the morning.  On the mornings that I have dance practice at 7am, I usually eat a Chobani flip cup yogurt.  These things are so good!  There are so many different flavors that I never get bored of having them! I also buy Quaker Oats to make my own oat...
