Every year there is a promotion that all foodies and philanthropists love: Dine Around Seattle! Dine Around Seattle is the area's premier dining promotion - giving diners a chance to try some of the areas best restaurants for a great deal - all while helping support these local businesses.
The promotion is a 3 course prix-fixe menus including starter, entree and dessert. 3-course dinners are $30 and 3-course lunches are $15. I love Dine Around Seattle because I can try out restaurants that I ordinarily wouldn't go to because they are too pricey for me! The event takes place March 3-28, Sundays through Thursdays.
Now the good part....What restaurants do I want to try?! Here are the participating restaurants that I would go to:
*Volterra (Ballard)
*Barolo (Downtown)
*Steelhead Diner (Downtown)
*BluWater Bistro (Green Lake)
*Toulouse Petit (Queen Anne)
I'm going out to dinner with Milah next week and she said it's my choice...Which should I choose?!

Stephanie and Jenne's great Seattle cupcake adventure
I like cupcakes. (Understatement of the century.) You might say that I'm a cupcake connoisseur. Someone else I know loves cupcakes. Her name is Jenne. Jenne kicks ass. She's a breast cancer survivor, and was the national spokeswoman for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure.
As the national spokeswoman, Jenne spoke at every 3-Day event around the country. At one of the Washington D.C. events, she made a cameo on an episode of TLC's hit show DC Cupcakes!
Ever since, I've been thinking about a way to woo Jenne into coming to Seattle and hanging out with me. After all, seeing and hearing her speak at the 3-Day was always one of the highlights of the event! And learning that she loves cupcakes like I do has helped me to figure out how to get her here.
Alright Jenne, check out a sampling of the cupcake offerings here in the great city of Seattle...
