Yesterday, I attended a lovely party in Brooklyn with my girlfriends where we swapped clothes and looked at the jewelry line Stella&Dot.  To my excitement, my friend Brittany of Brittlinco.com had picked up some cookies from One Girl Cookies.  I was happy to try every one and what made it even better was that they were all bite-sized so I could without getting a stomach ache!  They were so cute and delicious!  My favorite of the bunch was the Penelope.  A buttery cookie covered in chopped nuts with an apricot preserve filling.  It was like tasting the freshest shortbread cookie you’ve ever had!  The buttery cookie melted in my mouth with a sugary crunchiness as I finished it off.  This was definitely a surprise since I don’t usually go for this kind of cookie.  The next best sweet was Read More »

Extraordinary Desserts…San Diego

www.extraordinarydesserts.com

Well, I have been waiting to write this review for a while, but I had to taste just the right desserts at Extraordinary Desserts.  Of the many treats I tried, these two are my top picks.  Located right by my apartment here in San Diego, this adorable dessert shop is definitely a must.  They have a layout of stunning desserts unlike any I’ve seen!  What I love about the restaurant is that it’s a sit-down place and has award worthy desserts you can accompany with a glass of vino, coffee, or tea.  They are open late, which is key since most of us crave something sweet in the PM.  The two lovelies Read More »
