Redemption

This weekend we were out and about in DC and wound up at…(drum roll please)…Sticky Fingers Bakery! This is the ‘all items vegan’ place that won ‘Cupcake Wars’ on the Food Network. I had been wanting to try it out for so long and a cold, windy day gave us a perfect excuse to go and hang out.

Items ordered: BBQ Burger (The Boy), Black Bean Quesadilla (The Hubs), Rueben (Me), and Carrot Ginger Salad Wrap (to split). It was all Dee. Licious. It felt SO GOOD to be in a place that I didn’t have to create my own dish, question ingredients or leave feeling cheated by my meal and I loved how everyone loved everything that was ordered. This absolutely made up for last weekends restaurant fiasco.

Oh – and I didn’t even touch on the desserts. We each got a sweet treat before we left and I also tucked two little sumthin’-sumthin’s aside for The Hubs and I Saturday Night Couch Date Night (when you haven’t gone out on a date in – what? A year? – with your Hubs, you gotta make something work). The Stout & a Shot and Peanutbutter Fudge cupcakes were great. The Blueberry Muffin was fantastic. The Boy won the overall prize with his Little Devil cake. That is, until we opened our Date Night Brownie. O. M. G. Words cannot describe. But my husband said it best, ‘This is worth driving into DC for these alone’. It was the most fabulous brownie I have ever had in my life. My *LIFE*.

Of course we ate them before pictures could be taken, but we did get a mid-bite pic.

 

 

And here is a dish that was made the night before: Veggies and Peanuts with Rice Noodles.
