I Want to Eat These.

Brown Butter and Pecan Pancakes? Are you kidding me? I want these NOW. I must admit, since I've started training for a half marathon a couple months ago, my appetite has been slightly out of control. I hope all of the eating and extra calories are magically turning into muscle. I'll say that especially when I try making this tasty little recipe.

Weekend.

I'm amazed at the amount of food photos there are. It was hard to narrow them down. Andrew and I celebrated our four year wedding anniversary this weekend. We started it off by having an unbelievably delicious meal at Serafina, one of our favorite restaurants. We had calamari, martinis, swordfish, and pumpkin cheesecake. It was also my first time having unfiltered wine "Dettori Bianco - Badde Nigolosu" it was all so wonderful! We also went to a couple Christmas parties. One was a cooking competition where Andrew and I were in charge of the dessert. We decided to make a cheesecake, topped with a chocolate swirl and the tiniest amount of crumbled candy cane for festive points. It actually turned out great and yes, I had cheesecake twice this weekend. Yikes! Oh and pizza, waffles, lattes, various appetizers, etc. But I guess that's what the holidays are for. Hope you had a nice weekend too! Love, -n

Bar del Corso.

Bar del Corso is a "pizzeria, restaurant and bar in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Seattle featuring wood-fired pizza and Italian dishes meant for sharing, including salumi, cheeses and desserts. Local, seasonal, and traditional Italian ingredients go into every dish. The bar menu features regional Italian wines, up to five local beers on tap, classic Italian cocktails (aperitivi and digestivi) as well as a full bar."

This restaurant recently opened in our neighborhood. We went for the first time last night and had a very positive experience, I loved it! First of all, it was packed, always a good sign. We only waited 20 minutes for a table, which was totally worth it, everything was delicious! We shared wine from Puglia, Roasted baby chioggia & red beets w/ blood oranges and farro, Grilled Octopus w/ heirloom peperonata, and Vongole alla Marinara Manila clams. Great location, service, food, and atmosphere, so glad it's right around the corner from us. You should really try it some time, find out more here.

Macrina Bakery.

Dear Macrina Bakery,
I simply cannot complain about your location being so close to my house. You're cute AND delectable! Two of my favorite things.
Next time, I will take full advantage of the day-old bread sale.
