Happy Wednesday!

This past weekend my cousin turned 30 so we went to Napa Valley to spend the day eating and wine tasting. Despite the cold weather, flooded roads, and scattered rain, it was an amazing weekend. Unfortunately, since it was the weekend following Valentine’s Day, and also a long weekend, the wineries and restaurants were super packed. But it was still so much fun.

Lately, I’ve been obsessed with breakfast on the go. I’m usually in a rush and don’t have much time to sit down for breakfast in the morning, but I’m trying to be better about it.

Salted Caramel Brownies

This weekend is my cousin’s 30th birthday so we’re doing a lot of celebrating. First, we’re celebrating with a dinner at House of Prime Ribs. Then a day in Napa Valley to do some wine tasting. And of course, eating. It’s been kind of stormy the last few days, so hopefully by Saturday, the weather will have cleared up so we could enjoy the day at the vineyards.

There’s a popular bakery in SF called B. Patisserie. I’ve been wanting to try this place for the longest time but just never went. Mostly because it’s out of the way. But this past Wednesday, I was actually in the area for my friend’s bridal hair trial. So I decided to go a little early to check out their selection of baked goods. Sooo many pastries to choose from. But since I wasn’t going home for awhile, I had to limit my selection.

The chocolate banana almond croissant, which so many people raved about, was soooo good. I wasn’t sure about the combination of flavors, but one bite, and I’m so glad that I ordered it.

I also ordered the black sesame kouign amann. If you’re a fan of black sesame, this is definitely the pastry for you to get.
