First wedding of the year!

I attended my first wedding of the year last night for my cousin and her new husband. I just had to take a picture of the awesome wedding cake! I'm so excited to begin my internship with a wedding coordinator this summer, and attend many more weddings! Cheers!

Sushi & Krispy Kreme in one night? YES

I'm back in Raleigh ya'll! I decided to visit home for the weekend and tonight I went out with my best gal to one of my favorite places to get sushi..Kanki! It was too die for (as always), and afterwards we stopped for a latte and a hot doughnut from the classic Krispy Kreme. It was a great night to say the least!

Cupcake love

Yesterday I decided to explore the South End neighborhood a little more since I don't get a chance to go there often ( I'm in the University area). So I visited a few shops and I ended up coming across a very cute bakery called Sweet Lorraine's Bakery. Once I saw the cupcakes I knew I wanted to try them. I got the strawberry cupcake with white chocolate buttercream frosting and the chocolate cupcake filled with chocolate ganache and frosted with a peanut butter buttercream. To top it off, the cupcake was drizzled with chocolate syrup and topped with roasted peanuts. Both were a true delight. I will surely being going back to Sweet Lorraine's!

The Herban Legend

Being hungry on the UNC Charlotte campus is never a bad thing when the Herban Legend is on site. Many times I have seen this food truck and wondered what it was. Today, after seeing some tweets on Twitter praising the food, I had to check it out for myself. The first thing I noticed was the aroma, which was delightful might I add. Next, I looked at the menu for the day, which consisted of about 7 or 8 different plates to choose from. Even though there were only 7 or 8, I had the most difficult time deciding. Why? Because literally every single thing on the menu sounded like something I would love to eat! After standing and staring at the menu aimlessly for about 5 minutes, I decided to ask the woman working the truck for a recommendation. Her response was what she called the most popular food item; the shawarma. The shawarma is an Arabic style seasoned grilled chicken middle eastern flatbread with Tzatziki sauce, tabouleh, tomatoes, and french fries. Now I'm not going to try and find out what all of those ingredients are because after one bite nothing else mattered but the blast of flavor I got. It was seriously the best chicken wrap I've ever had and I'm not exaggerating. Being the food connoisseur that I believe I am, it takes a lot for me to really love something. Don't get me wrong, I'll eat almost anything! But loving something is a different story. This wrap was love. The only thing I regret about my my visit at the Herban Legend today is not going sooner.

A passion for good food

For as long as I can remember, I've had a passion for food. My friends always laughed when I would describe (with great detail) a recent dish I had tried. They told me I could take a simple food and describe it so well that their mouths were watering afterwards. I've searched far and wide for something to write about that I feel passionate towards, and I believe I have found it. When I visit a new restaurant, try a new dessert, or whip up a new recipe, I feel on top of the world and I get excited. I want to tell everyone, and I mean EVERYONE about my new discovery. So why wouldn't I base my blog around it? Of course I'll probably get off topic and include other things that may not always be about food, but for the most part, I want to give people food they can talk about and share with friends. I hope that through this page you can find new restaurants to try, yummy recipes to make, and begin your journey to a tasteful and delicious life...Bon Appetit!
