Quickie: Snacktime w/ Chef Brauny
I’m embarrassed to say, but we didn’t get Olivia a Birthday Cake today! She’s always the one on top of taking care of the rest of us coworkers on our birthdays, so thanks to Chef Brauny for whipping up a yummy Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake for her! YUM!

Quickie: Reading Terminal Market
While my mom was in town, we made a trip to Reading Terminal Market to have lunch & cruise the amazing food & such you can find there! Iovine Brothers Produce had some amazing & fresh product to admire, which made me question why I’m not splitting my produce shopping between them & the cheap finds at the Italian Market.

And no Reading Terminal Market visit is complete for me without a Turkey Sandwich on Homemade Sourdough w/ Mayo from Bassett’s Original Turkey!

Quickie: Lazaro’s Veggie Stromboli
Took a quick break from my speed blogging to order some delivery from Lazaro’s Pizza with Lex. We’ve popped in for slices & ordered delivery from the pizza shop on 18th & South since we moved to Grad Hospital/Point Breeze 3 years ago. Their in a close 2nd to my favorite Philly pizza (next to Lorenzo’s) and def my favorite cheesesteak. Tonight, we enjoyed their medium Vegetable Stromboli with a shared dozen of Hot Wings & our usual 2-liter of Sprite.

Quickie: Whipped by Potatoes
I LOVE LOVE LOVE mashed potatoes, but not the starchy process of peeling, chopping, & boiling the tubers. The best parts are using my prized Cuisinart Stand Mixer and, of course, eating them!

Quickie: Snacktime w/ Chef Derek II
Chef Derek to the rescue, again! Woke up at 4am to get to work at 6am, so needed a midday pick-me-up to regain any chance of productivity. Today, he delivered this delicious Nectarine & Granola Galette to my desk with a bowl of fresh whipped cream. Wish we had snacktime like this every day!
