Foodie Friday: SDJ

TGIF!

Red & Purple: Color-coordinating with the Paris-inspired wall!

Last Friday night, my Church💒 Bestie, Evie, and I were in for a treat …

Sweets du Jour🗼, my favorite 🍩bakery🍮 in town, offered dinner, so we’re were honored to be their first evening guests!

Appetizer: Tomato Basil Mozzarella Tart

We indulged in a five-course meal.

Soup: Italian Sausage Tortellini

All of the flavors were mighty tasty …

Salad: Pear Walnut with Dijon

From savory to sweet, it couldn’t be beat, as we needed the heat from the cold, even if it was bold!

Main Course: Asparagus Lasagna

Meanwhile, we enjoyed having it to ourselves!

Sweeten the Deal: Caramel Apple Cheesecake for Dessert

Hopefully, this eatery will open its doors again for more dinner parties!

Complete with Coffee!

Bon apetit! 👌

Grub Glory! Eat Happy!

Happy Hump Day the Healthy Pretty Fit Way!

Today, I’ll feature food, as a perk to my freelance writing.

When I visited AM Donuts, I was pleased to photograph around the storefront and bakery, as well as to try the main menu items that I intended:

AM Donuts‘ Bubble Tea & Maple Bacon Bar

The added bonus was that the owner packed his personal favorites for me to take home!

AM Donuts & Croissants Care Package, including *exclusive* Cherry Chocolate Fritter & Red Velvet Cake Donut

Then, when I covered the Claudie C. Royals Banquet on Claudie C. Royals Day, I chowed down even more!

Claudie C. Royals Banquet Main Course & Sides + Beverage: Lasagna, Fried Chicken, Corn, Salad, Sweet Tea

Claudie C. Royals Banquet Desserts: Special Strawberry Shortcake Banana Nut Pudding, Lemon & Chocolate Nut Cupcakes, Chocolate Sugar-Dusted Brownies

Today, I wrote about how I ate healthy a week ago then rewarded myself the next day in What I Ate Wednesday and Thursday. 

Pretty Fit Elaine‘s Chunky Monkey Sweet & Spicy Soft Serve Ice Cream

Moral of this story:

A good day can lead into another one!

And because I love y’all so much, here’s  how I packed my sweets for the sweet from the sweet on VDay ♥

Now that I’ve gone bananas with good grub and am armed with study food, I’ll get back to working on my dissertation…
