It's just pretty expensive, but it is well-curated items that should last you. The first class I did was a macaron class! The instructor was great and answered all my questions. We also took a French cooking class, which wasn't my favorite. The food was delicious but I didn't realize how simple it would be. It may just be that I know more about cooking than I give myself credit for but I found it pretty basic. I'll return for future classes but for trickier things I haven't made at home like pasta, pastries and sushi!

What it is, is a very cozy, aisle sized walk way. A couple dorm size freezer and or refrigerators that hold absolutely amazing steaks, summer sausage and so much more. Local honey, homemade sauces and more adorn the back wall. It is what is behind the counter that made it for me, besides the freezers that are packed with Super tasty bacons, it was the 2 fellas that were back there getting stuff done and took time to walk us Cure rookies through what they offered. They know their business and it shows. The bacons and the summer sausage are OUT OF THIS WORLD. Do yourself a favor and make the trip to Ft. Calhoun and get into CURE. You will be glad that you did.

I recently attended a training series at the MCC culinary institute building as well. The parking was very straightforward and easy to get to, in multiple areas. There are stairs and ramps so easy to get around no matter your needs. Inside the culinary institute, the building was nice and kept up very well. They have flyers for events, and I know they have a restaurant there too. We had our food provided by the students and staff at the culinary institute and wow, it was great! We had blueberry muffins and fruit for snack and a taco bar with homemade tortillas, salsa verde, and pickled onions to name a few of the things I really enjoyed. There was also a cinnamon cheesecake for dessert. The staff was very quick to put the food out and collect dishes, it was a great experience.

There were 5 trucks along with several other vendors inside the main building. The facility and bathrooms were well-maintained. The campus was also impressive for what they offer. The parking lot was plentiful, however some patrons were lousy with parking their vehicles within the lines. This is usually a yearly event and the place was sold out of tickets which did not surprise me. Overall, a nice event at a wonderful facility that offers great opportunities for the community of North Omaha.

Started off with a delish Caramel & Cream Iced Coffee while we bullshitted, caught up with each other, giggled, and perused her lunch menu; which changes weekly! I snagged her crazy-good "Well, Hello Sunshine" custard style quiche chock full of apple, bacon and yes I said brie. PERFECT for lunch and especially breakfast, as it just reminded me of a slow Sunday. Comes with your choice of cold Macaroni Salad or Berries & Melon; hellooooo mac salad. She was sweet, oniony when it mattered, and pairs well with the savory flavor or the quiche. So glad I got to taste her "The Roast Beef & Blue". For the small little bite I had and shared, she was a tad salty (melted blue cheese on the toasted bread too), but I heard from others, it was very salty so word to the wise for folks with salt sensitivities. For that sweet snack later - although, I did take a few bites before we left - had to get her Lemon Shortbread and a very chocolaty piece of corner brownie; with nuts! Yall, that lemon was perfect. She's not a sharp zing, but a mellow lull. Highly recommend at least one gal-pal lunch or perhaps schedule in some high tea! I hear she throws great tea parties!

The menu rotates each month--ours was the Hawaiian-themed Hula Around the Block--and the food was excellent overall. The Huli Huli Chicken was the clear standout. The North Shore Garlic Shrimp Plate was solid, and the Asian Cucumber Salad was a nice side. The Spicy Salmon Poke Bowl was good, though I would have preferred the salmon raw and a bit more heat. The atmosphere is very casual and self-service. Chef/owner Dan is a genuinely nice guy and a great chef. If you like rotating themed menus in a relaxed pop-up setting, this is worth checking out. We'll be back.

I stopped in while putting together Christmas boxes for my out-of-town family and was blown away by how easy they made it to shop small in one place. I was able to find all local products without hopping from store to store including honey, candles, baker's chocolate candies, magnets, t-shirts, and so many other amazing Nebraska-made items. Everything is thoughtfully curated, beautifully displayed, and genuinely high quality. The shop itself is adorable and welcoming, and it feels really good knowing that every purchase supports local makers and businesses. It's the perfect one-stop shop for gifts that actually feel meaningful and unique (not just filler items). If you're sending care packages, building gift boxes, or just want to support Omaha-made products, this place is a no-brainer. I'll absolutely be back not just for the holidays, but year-round.
