Three weeks in the Chicagoland area sounded like a long time and yet it flew by. We saw lots and ate lots on our trip. We had one last weekend in the city before leaving the area and tried to make the most of it.
We took an architectural boat tour down the Chicago River…

Well, I can safely say that this wasn’t the healthiest weekend for Taste Tester and I. It was a good one, though!
Custard is one of those desserts that I could generally take or leave. However, when you add chocolate, peanut butter and pretzels to it, I’m all over it! If you’re not familiar with Shake […]
Well something must have been in the air this week because chocolate and peanut butter made appearances all over the web! Check out these great finds. And thanks to Faith at The Kitchn and Taste Tester for keeping me in the loop!
1. The ever awesome and super tantalizing website, The Kitchn posted some mouth-watering pictures […]
Just to give you an idea of what a few days in the life of a total sweets addict are like, here’s a list of all the baked goods I ate / ogled over the holiday weekend. Taste Tester’s family was in town and we wandered all over the city for various tourist activities, so […]
Okay, back to being a normal food blog now. What a crazy week though, hm?
I don’t know about you but I had a real good time on The Atlanta Cupcake Tour. Are you all cupcake’d out yet? Don’t worry we’ll get back to more of a variety of treats in the coming weeks.
The following […]
Lindsay and I wasted no time after our visits to Sweet Pockets and The Atlanta Cupcake Factory, and walked right over to Belly General Store.
What’s that? Visiting two cupcakeries in a day is plenty? Who do you think you are dealing with here, amateurs? Ha!

Hi there!
Sorry for being gone so long, but Taste Tester and I were away visiting some friends in Atlanta last week. I thought I could pack it all into one post but there is just too much to write since we visited 6 different bakeries over 4 1/2 days. So every day for the […]
Helllooo people,
First of all I want to thank everyone for all of the kind birthday wishes!! :) It was a really good one, but the celebration is not over yet! I am writing from Long Beach Island where a lot of chocolate peanut butter birthday dessert consumption is going down. We don’t have wireless at […]
Not the greatest shot, but that’s Zingerman’s Delicatessen in the background, the cafe is in the foreground and in between is an outdoor seating area for patrons to chow down.
The second Taste Tester mentioned going to Michigan for vacation, the first thing that popped into my head was finally getting the chance to visit Zingerman’s […]
Motivated by a chocolate peanut butter craving, Taste Tester and I wandered into Ridgewood, NJ last night - and I do mean wandered. Van Dyk’s Ice Cream is tucked away off the beaten path but well worth seeking out. I had been there once a few years ago, tasted their fantastic ice cream and […]
