U-Relish Farms and the Indianapolis Cultural Trail: A Legacy of Gene & Marilyn Glick on #KitchenSinkRadio AND a Giveaway!

May 31, 2013 By admin 35 comments

Welcome! Are you a subscriber? Click here to receive my weekly newsletter. Thanks for visiting!

I have a jam-packed INDIANAPOLIS themed show this week on Around the Kitchen Sink Radio filled with my favorite sights, sounds and tastes of Downtown.  I post often about where my family and I like to paint the town red, hit up our favorite spots and chow down.  Recently, a trail opened up where you can park that car and stroll on your own 2 feet! We will be talking all about it at 11 pm EST on Toginet.com Listen to THIS show HERE

Many times over the last few years you have heard me talk about my love of Cara and U-Relish Farms.  I discovered these fantastic slow cooker ‘mixes’ at the Indianapolis City Market and instantly fell in love.  Cara Dafforn has a love of naturally prepared meals and provides these from her garden and blends each meal herself.  My personal favorite is the Coconut Rice Pudding and next would be the Three Bean Chili.  She gives suggestions on the label for add ins, easy instructions and the few liquid ingredients you will need.  Not only are these meals economical, they are as good or better than me slaving over the stove making a hot pot of soup.  I add her ingredients to a slow cooker, add my liquid or add-in’s and come back in a few hours to a completely finished meal! Cara will be sharing her story on the show this week and I am SO excited ????

Get Down On It

After 12 years of planning, six years of construction, and $63 million from federal transportation funding and private donations, the eight-mile Cultural Trail, Indianapolis Cultural Trail: A Legacy of Gene & Marilyn Glick, connects the five downtown cultural districts, greenway trails and bicycle lanes, creating regional connectivity beyond downtown Indianapolis.  It also connects to the sixth cultural district, Broad Ripple, through the Monon Trail at 10th Street.

Built for nearly every form of transportation except cars, the Cultural Trail connects users to the front door or within one block of every major arts, culture, heritage, sports and entertainment venue in downtown Indianapolis.  Visit their SITE for more information!

Visit Indy

Visit Indy’s Morgan Greenlee will be telling me all about this new and innovative trail and everything there is to do and see while you #GetDownOnIt ! You can even stroll to the Indianapolis City Market to visit  U-Relish Farms !

    Great article Heather. I'm in Northern Indiana and have only been to Indianapolis a few times, but I'd love to go back to the zoo this summer with my nieces - it's the best!

    I'm partial to Fountain Square, which is downtown-ish. I also love White River State Park and hanging out at the Central Library.

    I'm a little partial to White River State Park in general. My family loves to visit The Indy Zoo, the Indiana State Museum and the Eiteljorg!

    We live in Northwest Indiana but drive down to Indy for the Children's Museum which my son loves. The zoo is another attraction that we love. Anything that is kid friendly!

    We love going to the Zoo! The Canal is a fun place to take the family for a walk and picnic. We also enjoy touring the many monuments downtown. :)

    If it is a family trip, we like the Central library. If it is date night, a trip to Bluebeard for dinner is our favorite stop.

    We love the Children's Museum and also the Zoo. These "annual memberships" make great Christmas gifts from the grandparents (that the whole family can use, without adding more "clutter" to our house!)
