Wedding Cupcakes!

Cupcakes in place of the traditional cake at weddings is a very popular trend this season--it's a cute and fun way to appease all the chocolate vs. vanilla lovers. I personally think that the size of cupcakes when baked just make them taste so much better than just a normal cake, right?! =) Anyway, check out the photos below from the Turgeon and Earl Wedding I attended a few weeks ago:

Fresh Fruit and Mexican Style Grilled Corn!

My friend is training for a triathlon in Switzerland so we planned another bike trip down to Red Hook this past weekend and went for a 700-800M swim at the big outdoor pool. We got hungry after our long work out and ventured over to the food trucks for a quick fix:

Food Truck: Veggie Tacos!

I was down in Red Hook last weekend and saw a dozen food trucks parked along the little park behind IKEA down in Brooklyn. I'm always complaining about the not-so-great selection of Mexican food here in NYC and finally found the "mythical" location of where all the Mexican Food Truck vendors park! I was quite pleased with my Veggie Taco and for once it did not contain baby corn or grilled zucchini! Both of which are tasty veggies, but really do not belong in a typical Mexican taco or burrito, it's just weird! Save those veggies for some weird fusion Asian wrap or something, not my TACO!

French Baguettes!

I have to admit, it's been a while, but I'm slowly trying to make a comeback so lets start with a bang. Months ago a friend taught me how to make my own French baguette bread! We made the fancy ones and the normal ones and had a little indoor picnic and tea party of sorts!

Take a look:

The Mud Truck

Cold, early morning walk to the train and I came across The Mud Truck--it's a gourmet coffee truck! I guess it's part of that growing trend of NYC Food Trucks that sprouted up the last few years. I still think LA has the best food trucks with Philly rounding up on 2nd place. The truck offers a few different blends and of course your early morning breakfast scone or muffin.

Coffee, not too shabby.

Macarons! (Restaurant Review)

I was out shopping and got a little hunger pang, but also wanted something to satiate my sweet tooth...I ducked into this cute little French Macaron Cafe that serves delicious French Baguette Sandwiches and delightful macaroons!

I had Rasberry, Lemon, and Nutella (pictured above) all of which were very tasty!
