Buffalo Pizza

This past weekend my boyfriend and I went to one of my favorite pizza places, Fratelli La Bufala (which my bf and I call "buffalo pizza") it's on 4th and Washington in South Beach. It's Neapolitan pizza, that's baked in a stone oven and is ready in 5 minutes! It's so delicious and fresh, from the sauce to the mozzarella! My personal favorite is the Margherita, while my boyfriend prefers white pizza and likes the Salentina. Both are amazing and with a side of their house wine, it equals the perfect dinner date for us.

Celebrate

Yesterday was one of my best friend's birthdays. I decided to make her cookies and creme cupcakes. We had attempted some a while back and although they were pretty tastey, they weren't exactly my definition of cookies and creme cupcakes, they were more like french vanilla cupcakes with crushed Oreos on top. I decided that this would be the perfect cupcakes to make. I picked up a box of Betty Crocker's Butter Cake Mix (I didn't have time to do it from scratch), got Cream Cheese frosting (my favorite), and Double Stuffed Oreos. Once I got home I got to work!

I started by placing half an Oreo in each cupcake wrapper.

I chopped up the rest of the oreos and added it to the mix.

Then garnished the cupcake with the other half of the Oreo.

Goodies

Tuesday is one of my best friend's birthdays! I'm thinking about baking her some chocolate gnash filled cupcakes. While flipping through my 1001 cupcakes, cookies & other tempting treats I was drawn to so many other possibilities. I had forgotten how many delicious recipes there were. It's been packed away since the move and today I finally, unpacked all my books (I must admit, I have missed them). I will keep you posted as to which tempting recipe I decide to make.

It would be fun to try every recipe in this book. Perhaps a future venture!

Roll On

Today I had a craving for some amazing sushi. During my last trip to NYC we visited AOKI Japanese Restaurant near Time Square, and all I have to say is "mmmmmmm." Not only did they have delicious sushi but scrumptious appetizers and entrees as well. We left as happy as a kid leaving a candy store with a bag full of sweets. Which I made sure, I also left with before my trip ended. I stopped at Dylan's Candy Bar for some sour apple liquorice (they have the best!) and Oreo and Peanut Butter cupcakes.

Easy Bake

Since I recently moved into a new house I'm constantly looking for great finds on home decor. While browsing, I found an ideal appliance that would be great for breakfast, sweet cravings, and home parties. This mini doughnut maker is great for quick, easy, and mess-free snacks. I found it on Amazon starting at $15!
