Welcome Home Diner | Peggy Lampman
12 posts | 5 read | 23 to read
Betting on the city of Detroit's eventual comeback, cousins Addie and Samantha decide to risk it all on an affordable new house and a culinary career that starts with renovating a vintage diner in a depressed area of town. There's just one little snag in their vision.Angus, a weary, beloved local, is strongly opposed to his neighborhood's gentrification--and his concerns reflect the suspicion of the community. Shocked by their reception, Addie and Samantha begin to have second thoughts.As the long hours, problematic love interests, and underhanded pressures mount, the two women find themselves increasingly at odds, and soon their problems threaten everything they've worked for. If they are going to realize their dreams, Addie and Samantha must focus on rebuilding their relationship. But will the neighborhood open their hearts to welcome them home?

#MarchMadness #WelcomeHome Playing catch-up for prompts.

I read this novel a few years ago for a book tour review & enjoyed the story of two sisters renovating a diner in Detroit. I also enjoyed the Crispy Cornmeal & Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad with Herbs that I paired with my review. Nothing says welcome home like a good meal.😋

🍽📚I love good foodie fiction & enjoyed this story of Sam & Addie, two cousins renovating & running a diner in a Detroit neighborhood to help (& benefit from) the urban renewal happening in the city. About food, family, friendship, community & reinvention. Paired here with Crispy Cornmeal Fried Fish & Quinoa Tabbouleh with Feta & Herbs inspired by the book. Link to review, recipes & *GIVEAWAY*(U.S. & Canada addresses) on the blog, link 👇🏻

LeahBergen Oh, that catfish looks fab! 7y
ephemeralwaltz Ughhh Tabbouleh is my favorite! I never tried it with quinoa 😱❤ 7y
britt_brooke Pretty photo - looks delicious! 7y
TheKidUpstairs My mouth is watering! 7y
DebinHawaii @MinDea @Cinfhen @britt_brooke @TheKidUpstairs Thank you! 😊❤️ @LeahBergen Mahalo! It's actually a local fish called monchong subbing in but it does look like catfish doesn't it?! 😆🐟 @ephemeralwaltz It works pretty well, not quite the same texture but close. It's a good alternative for gluten free & I like the protein it adds. 👍😀 7y

I am devoted to my favorite avocado toast with spicy garlic aioli that is in so many of my other Litsy posts 😆but I wanted to try the last of my Rick Bayless pickled red onions as an avo toast topping. Since they are pickled with lime juice, the tangy flavor works well with the creamy avocado & a bit of chopped cilantro & celery salt. 😋A great Sunday breakfast with a few chapters of this book I'm reviewing on the blog later in the week. 🥑🍞💚

Leftcoastzen Yummy! 7y
MemoirsForMe This book looks almost as good as your breakfast. 😁👍🏻 7y
Amandajoy I may need to start keeping pickled onions in the fridge for my avocado toast. That sounds delicious! 7y
DebinHawaii @Leftcoastzen It was! 😋 @UwannaPublishme It's good so far-good foodie fiction! 🍽📚 @Amandajoy It worked really well--I may have to make more pickled onions! 🤗 7y

I enjoyed the banter between the characters and the uplifting feeling THE WELCOME HOME DINER gave off. The cover ITSELF is very welcoming.

If you are a fan of food and love, THE WELCOME HOME DINER fits the bill.

I'm reading this one for review at the end of the month & haven't started it yet but I thought it looked pretty with the soup bowl.😆🍲📚💙 Link to post with soup recipe is below.

DebinHawaii @mrsmarch Well technically lunch was a couple of hours before I posted. It's almost 4PM now. But yes, time zones are fun & key lime pie sounds pretty awesome right now! 😆👍@VanChocStrawberry It's making me hungry too! 😋 7y
mrsmarch @DebinHawaii @VanChocStrawberry Trader Joe's frozen key lime pie. I've eaten an entire one by myself in 24 hrs but who's counting 😆 7y
DebinHawaii @mrsmarch I think 24 hours shows great restraint! 😆👍 7y
