Five for the Week

It's definitely been a rainy couple of days in the city. In need of a little sunshine (and a tan) here are some things that have brightened it up my week a little, including my kick ass leopard umbrella!
Colorful Toy Watches... I'm on a watch kick lately, just got myself a beautiful white one for the summer. Would love to add an orange or blue to the mix

Emmy's raw and vegan macaroons - the chai are the best!

Congrats to William and Kate! Check out these hysterical tea bags on Pylones

Easter at Bouchon Bakery

I know my roomate Liz would love these sprinkle covered marshmellow eggs. Why wouldn't Bouchon Bakery put a classy spin on the Peep?

Something for the Recipe Bank

A couple yummy recipes I have to give a whirl.....

My mom and I love french Madeleines, the ones above are from Once Upon a Tart. (lets be real, these are not going to happen in my 3 by 5 kitchen)

Ginger coconut ricotta pancakes thanks to Apartment 34

Avocado Fries from A Cozy Kitchen

I've been making my own almond milk lately with a nut bag I got at One Lucky Duck. I've been looking to change up my standard almonds and dates, this recipe from Joy the Baker should do the trick

Spring is here in NYC

I was walking home today and saw another lovely sign of spring... the restaurants in my neighborhood opened up their outdoor dining. Finally, the winter entrances are gone and have been replaced with rod iron fences and window boxes filled with hydrangeas. This makes me so excited -- my favorite evenings in the city consist of getting a bottle of wine, eating outside and people watching. Depending on where you are in the city, the crowds are different so it never gets boring. Here are a couple of my favorite outdoor spots...

Back Forty, East Village

Cafe Orlin, Astor Place

Pastis, Meat Packing

Macaron Day in NYC

Last year, Francois Payard organized the first Macaron Day in NYC inspired by the Jour de Macaron in Paris -- why wouldn't Paris have a day dedicated to macarons? All the more reason why I want to live there. In the mean time, I can celebrate that across NYC bakeries will be giving away macarons all day on Sunday, March 20. Yes, I will be spending my sunday patisserie hopping.

Cadbury Heaven

Why is this the first time I've ever heard of the cadbury creme egg and mini egg McFlurry at McDonalds? And why are they only offered in the UK? I can only imagion the yummyness of cadbury and soft serve swirled together, ahh I want one. I need one. AND thankfully I may be headed to London in the beginning of April for work. Considering I gave up sugar for lent -- you can break lent on Friday's right? Or is it sunday...... or maybe I'll just sprinkle some crushed mini eggs on my tasti delight.....
