Wednesday Pizza

Since last night was Ash Wednesday and the beginning of lent, I made a veggie loaded pizza to avoid any meat. Normally I'm not much of a carnivore- only eating Chicken and Fish- but since I grew up on Pizza and Pasta during days of abstaining for lent, I figured I'd keep the tradition. Last night I used Whole Foods pizza dough, Whole Foods organic pasta sauce and Whole Foods shredded mozzarella. Toppings included carmalized onions, sauted peppers, and fresh basil leaves. I also added a ring of pesto just before the crust (a tip my Uncle Joe gave me), and lots of oregano, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic!

This year- as in the past, I'm giving up my favorite treat: ice cream. It'll be a struggle, but it makes the first cone after Easter really special :-)

Woopie Pie Wednesday!

We have been having food themed days at work this week to keep us all sane while we are busy with Holiday 11 briefing. Today was Woopie Pie Wednesday! I made these little darlings last night. They weren't as cake-y as I would have liked, but still very delicious! Recipe to be posted. In the meantime here are some photos.

16mm

I had the pleasure of dining at the 16mm Cafe for my last night in London. I was mesmorized by the atmosphere in this tucked away little gem of Soho. Monochrome white decor popped with fresh tulips and swanky french tunes made me feel every bit of elegant that a girl could want. I browsed through an ancient copy of Harpars Bazaar while indulging in my favorite meal of the trip.

Located on D'Arblay Street in the heart of London's Soho neighborhood, this little place is must!
