Lovin Oven Cakery

I got to go on a tour the other day of local bakeries in the northern suburbs of Chicago.  My good friend Doug, who lives in the area, had three delicious bakeries that he said were a must try while I was visiting Chicago. First on the list was the Lovin Oven Cakery.  Located in the cute town of Libertyville, is this adorable cakery that bakes up anything your heart desires!  I think my eyes literally popped out of my head when I walked in.  No matter what dessert I was

Complimentary dessert after dinner?!!!

The Mermaid Inn stole my heart right when they said, “We always offer complimentary dessert after our meals, and that’s our dessert menu.”  WHAAAT?!!!  That’s amazing!  They served us mini chocolate mousses in espresso mugs.  It was delicious and full of cocoa flavor.  Very cool and creamy and the whipped cream is always a nice touch with mousse.  This was a perfect size and taste to end the meal.  I’m now in love with The Mermaid Inn with their delcious seafood and cool upscale ambience.  The free dessert felt like a big “THANK YOU” for dining with us and makes you feel special.  A satisfied belly and happy mind, that’s how I left The Mermaid Inn.

If you haven’t ordered this Ohio-based ice cream online to be mailed to your door yet, GET ON IT!  Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream is the bom and noone should miss out.  A recent gift sent to me by my best schoolhood girlfriend and her husband (yes, Jeni’s was created in my hometown) was 4 pints of delicious cold cream.  My favorite of the bunch was the Brambleberry Crisp.  My explanation won’t surpass what Jeni’s says about it on her website so I quote,

peacefood, dessert that’s good for you

 

 

It’s perfectly healthful to eat a dessert, especially at a vegan restaurant that bakes everything in-house and doesn’t use dairy, eggs, or refined sugar in any of their recipes.  This Upper West Side corner cafe is delightful in ambience and buzzing with business.  This time of year, everyone makes resolutions to lose weight, be more healthy, and start fresh.  Veganites have the right idea with this way of thinking, and peacefood offers

Making “whoopie” at Billy’s Bakery

It is not a coincidence that both Beth and I get our highlights and haircuts at the chic Chris Chase Salon which is located next door to Billy’s Bakery.  What does any dessert loving girl need after sitting in foils for three hours but a cupcake, cookie, or in this case a WHOOPIE PIE!  I couldn’t contain my excitement when I saw that Billy’s was still serving pumpkin flavored desserts in January.  Thank you Billy’s!  Pumpkin should be
