I'm Not a Foodie, But ...

I never considered myself to be a "foodie." I would love to live without food. It can be a tricky decision and it can be costly (especially if you're picky, like me). But of course there are endless benefits to eating (nutrition, bringing people together, etc.). I for one love it when people get creative with preparing food. In this very visual world, a great picture is not only worth a thousand words, it can make us want to consume a thousand calories as well. As a dessert addict and lover of beverages I have snapped some appetizing photos lately at various events and wanted to share them here.

The chocolate bar was at my church for Mother's Day.

Veggie spread & spinach tart are from a nail event I attended at Perch Los Angeles.

Latte art is from my new favorite coffee place in Fullerton called Coffee Code.

Macaron, cookie and cold brew coffee are found at a new local cafe that I adore called Nana Fi's.

Donut shot is from the new Dunkin' Donuts that opened by my house.

Other images are from various family gatherings.

Enjoy the long weekend by eating and drinking something picture-worthy!

Engaged in Grape

My sister's engagement party was this past weekend. Her color scheme of grape ( a deep plum) and gray looked great together on the dessert bar, in the flower bouquet, and on the table settings. It was a wonderful night where family and friends gathered together to celebrate shared happiness. We ate tiny appetizers before indulging in a candy bar with a dark purple assortment of treats including cupcakes, chocolate covered Oreos, cheesecake bites, and rice krispie treats. A special thanks to my aunt and uncle for hosting us, and to my father who gave a lovely toast for my beautiful sister.

Cheers!
