We had MatchaMeanTea in town last long weekend, so we met up for brekkie at Sugar Bowl. We managed to score a table after a short wait as we just just missed the brunch rush… and scored cinnamon buns to boot as we finally came here early enough that they weren’t sold out... yaaah! 
I've been meaning to try out Cookie Love for a while - but work and the craziness of life kept sidetracking me until now - and glad I got to step into this little haven scented full of sugary baked cookie goodness. This franchise is run by Iva and Mike Stone, and its apparent they have the recipe for success as we pondered how many cookies we could possibly eat at one sitting - a few other customers came in to pick up large orders. On to the cookies!
Somedays, I just really crave comfort food. One of my favs is risotto. Its simple, all you need is rice, broth, cheese, maybe some herbs, wine and either a vegetable or seafood and you got a meal. Oh, and a bit of love and time. Here’s my recipe for my fav – wild mushroom risotto. You can just make with whatever mushrooms you have on hand, but adding in a handful of dried mushrooms to the broth really put this risotto over the top. Any any risotto is always worth the time in making… and savoring!
