“Living with Amy” in Door County…

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

My newest BFF Amy Hanten, of WLUK Fox 11’s “Living with Amy”, stayed at Egg Harbor Lodge last night with her adorable daughter Ireland, her producer Jocelyn and camera man Don.  They had dinner Thursday night at Pasta Vino (they were all impressed) located in the Country Walk Shops in Sister Bay. This morning, the crew headed up to Good Eggs in Ephraim to check out their breakfast burritos… they all agreed they were excellent.  They returned to Egg Harbor to check out Main Street Market and Door County Nature Works owned by our good friends Kaaren and Steve Northrop and Polly and Don Helm respectively.  At noon they came back to Egg Harbor Lodge and interviewed Mark and me.  We also did a segment on our hot cider that we make in the fall for our guests.  The weather was really nice which I was really excited about.  After they left our place they headed up to Seaquist Orchard.  I am not sure just yet when the Door County show will air… I will keep you posted.  I will get a copy and post it on my website. It was nice to get little Egg Harbor some press!

Last March, I was fortunate to get the opportunity to be on the “Living with Amy” show (it was LIVE!!) and cook with her.  We had a blast… she said she wanted to have me on again.  I hope so, it was one of the highlights of the spring for me and I have tons of good fall recipes, maybe she would like my Coq Au Vin!  Yeah, that sounds good, think I’ll make it this week.

The Board Room in Egg Harbor

Monday, August 10th, 2009

Liberty Square in Egg Harbor offers a plethora of things to do and see.  Of course there is The Bistro at Liberty Square, which offers breakfast, lunch and dinner but there is also a gourmet deli and wine store which has tons of gourmet foods.  Our guests love to stop in and purchase wine and cheese when they decide to dine on their balconies instead of heading out to dinner.  The Shops at Liberty Square are all connected so one flows into the next which is really quite nice.  They offer anything from cards, to jewelry to furniture.

Recently, we dined in the Board Room for their Paris Nights which was really lovely.  Our four course Julia Childs inspired meal was paired with four different wines.  The main course was Osso Bucco… one of my absolute favs.  The dining room is very warm and tastefully decorated.  We were at kind of a communal table I guess you would call it and at first I was like whoa… wait a minute but it was actually really fun as everyone got to know each other and discussed each course.    Paris Nights is offered again on August 20 and again October 17.  It made for a really fun and different evening and the food was great.

Liberty Square should definitely be on everyone’s to-do list when visiting  Door County.  In fact, I am heading in there today to buy  new patio table umbrella… they have lots of different colors.  I hope they have red.

Egg Harbor Shopping… simply the Best!

Friday, July 17th, 2009

Our little village of Egg Harbor offers some of Door County’s finest shopping.  Over the next few weeks I am heading into the boutiques for a little up-close and personal view of the coolest shopping  Egg Harbor has to offer.  This week I checked out Maxwell’s House and Jane’s Designs for Women, take a look…

Egg Harbor has tons of boutiques and quaint little stores… stay tuned and check them out with us!

Egg Harbor’s Chick weekend May 15 & 16 2009

Saturday, February 14th, 2009

The Egg Harbor Business Association has decided to promote a girl’s getaway weekend May 15 and 16.  The ladies weekend will take the place of the Lighthouse Walk weekend which has moved to June 12 and 13. While the complete details are still in the making it sounds like there will be a brunch/fashion show, shopping specials and even a karaoke night. I am sure many more things are being planned as the Egg Harbor Business Association is pioneer in creating fun weekends… look at  Egg Harbor’s Pumpkin Patch Festival. Many of the festivities will be held at the Landmark Resort in Egg Harbor. Not to be left out of the fun, Egg Harbor Lodge will not only have it’s famous stay two nights get the third night free special  but we will have a complementary Happy Hour for our guests on Friday and Saturday evening featuring our famous Sawyeritas (Margaritas), Coronas, non-alcoholic beverages and Mexican Snacks.  If the weather is nice we will have it on our terrace overlooking beautiful Green Bay waters.

 We’ll have it indoors if the weather is not cooperating.  All the shops and boutiques in Egg Harbor (and Door County for that matter) will be open.  Many will have their own creative opportunities for the ladies.  So girls, sleep in late, do a little lunch in the village then take a stroll and check out the shops. Afterwards, return to your home away from home at Egg Harbor Lodge for cocktail hour and either dine on your deck or head back to the village for a little dinner.  And guys, don’t be discouraged, men are always welcome in Door County
