Did everyone have a happy / romantic / chocolate-coated Valentine’s Day? Mine was good; Adam and I don’t do gifts but we went out of a yummy dinner on the 13th, and some of my coworkers brought in candy.
Top five tastes from the week…
{1♥} chocolate-covered cherry <– one of this month’s theme flavors!
CCC smoothie – chocolate milk, frozen dark cherries, plain Greek yogurt.
CCC coffee – cold brew, chocolate milk, Luxardo cherries with juice.
The coffee seriously made me swoon with happiness.
{2♥} best Mexican food in Brooklyn
I read two different places that El Atoradero had the best nachos in New York, so clearly we had to go there immediately. They were delicious, though not as good as the nachos I bake at home.
This was the best chicken burrito I’ve ever eaten though. The chicken tinga was smoky and roasty and there were peas and carrot in it giving little pops of sweetness.
Ample Hills for dessert!
{3♥} yogurt bowls
Toasted marshmallow yogurt(!!) with vanilla granola and chocolate tahini/Biscoff.
Siggi’s raspberry with mixed nut butter.
{4♥} deep-dish pepperoni pizza
I used TJ’s whole-wheat dough and cooked it in a casserole dish. With mozzarella, pizza sauce, and turkey pepperoni that I apparently did not have the skill to cut into hearts.
{5♥} English butter fudge
I love you, Trader Joe’s; this was the single best candy I’ve ever eaten. If you’re a fan of penuche/praline/brown sugar I recommend you buy this immediately.
Have a nice weekend!
