Potato, leek, asparagus, spinach soup @ Amelie’s French Bakery in NoDa, Charlotte

I have thoroughly fallen in love with this cafe - open 24 hours and has an atmosphere I would describe as a mix between Versailles and Alice in Wonderland.

Banana Split @ Marini’s in Santa Cruz, CA

Feijoada Completa (black bean stew simmered with various sausages served with rice, farofa, and sauteed greens) @ Cafe Brasil in Santa Cruz, CA

Cooked for my Little’s fam - classic cannelloni with a cream sauce, asparagus with hollandaise, and fresh garlic bread on the side.
