Macarons
Oh sweet macarons. How I love you so. How my mouth waters just looking at your rounded goodness. Your many flavors, they tantalize my tongue.
I have never heard of a macaron. I’ve heard of macaroons. But apparently they’re different. And these beauties above are unlike any treat I’ve ever had. They’re light, airy, and oh so delectable. Alas, these Bottega Louie macarons are the only ones I’ve had. I have no other macarons to compare them too. I’d be happy to find a surprise box of them in the mail anytime. My sister has baked homemade macarons and she’s not the kitchen type, so they can’t be that hard…

Hot Chocolate
Bottega Louie Hot Chocolate...and Peonies
Hot chocolate is usually the same ‘ole same ‘ole. But not this hot chocolate. I don’t know what divine spices they put in it but it has a delicious little kick in it for sure. Stephanie (the stylist) said it tasted like Mexican hot chocolate.
I’ve never had Mexican hot chocolate, but if this is what it tastes like than I want it!
Creative Director: Leah Faust / Stylist: Stephanie Castro
Leah and Stephanie did such a fabulous job pulling together all the props, flowers and whipping up delicious hot chocolate. Such teamwork. Couldn’t have done it without you two!

I’m not a big salad eater but I love pizza & salad together:
The Modena Salad reminds me of a blossoming rose:
Arrancini:
White Beans & Red Onion:
Calamari:

Portobello Fries. Delicious.
These Heirloom Carrots are AMAZING! I can’t believe carrots can taste this good. And they’re so pretty, too. Great texture & color.

Okay, I’m all blogged out. Next up: Sweets & Treats from Bottega Louie!
