Food Photo Friday - Macaron Cafe NYC

While I was in NYC a couple months ago, I was on the search for some macarons. There was one place I had bookmarked, but I didn't get to try it til our last day. It took me FOREVER to find this place because I kept getting lost // kept walking to the wrong street.. LOL I'm terrible with directions! But when I finally found this place and bit into one of these chewy morsels, my stomach and heart were truly satisfied. 

A fellow foodie friend, Shelley, tweeted about this article, Airy Macarons That Rise Above the Rest (courtesy of NY Times), that was about the macaron craze going on in NYC right now. I was surprised Macaron Cafe wasn't on the list. But no fear... They SOON will be! ;]

Not only were these the BEST macarons I ever ate, they were breathtakingly beautiful. My favorite was the peanut butter macaron. Two things I love in one. YAY!

Can I Haz Desserts?

I am blessed to say that the people in my life feed me and they feed me well. But that's also a reason why I can't lose weight =P My family, my boyfriend, my friends, my boyfriend's family. It's a lovely cycle of food. Last week, my lovely friend Megan made desserts all week... Oh I was in heaven! She made flan TWICE, fruit tarts, AND crème brûlée! For the fruit tarts, she got the recipe online and it was the recipe for the fruit tarts at La Madeleine. I can honestly say, it was pretty darn close to La Madeleine's. I could barely taste the difference. She has a talent for making delicious desserts. I am so lucky! =)

Photo props to Megan <3
