Eat and Sip in the City

5 on Friday – Favorites from the week – 1/16/15

I am linking up again with this weeks five favorites:

 A. Liz Adventures
Carolina Charm
Hello! Happiness
The Good Life

1. Favorite food photo

We hit up Wholefoods for ingredients for dinner and the fiance made quite a colorful meal. Purple mashed sweet potatoes, spinach, and salmon.

2. Favorite from subscription boxes

I finally dug into the Love With Food box from December and my favorite snack in it so far is the chocolate covered coconut!

Dark Chocolate Coconut Smiles

3. Favorite from my small biz 

I am very excited because this week I roll out my first blogger curated bundle! It is a baby girl themed gift box with high end products picked by mommy blogger Ruthie. So I spent all week getting the last minute things ready for that launch!

4. Favorite in entertainment

Does anyone else love Millionaire Matchmaker? This week Stephanie from the Hills  was on the show and it was great to see her go on a romantic and fun date with a nice guy, when she says she usually goes for bad boys.
5. Wedding Planning mania
Wedding planning has commenced! The bad news is, a lot of the places on the list of venues we wanted to see for a potential wedding this year are booked for Saturdays all the way through Halloween already! We are thinking summer is the ideal time, mostly since it is easiest for the Italy relatives to get here. There is one venue with SOME availability high on my list right now though! Hopefully we can see this spot soon. How gorgeous???

    Love the colorful plate. But isn’t using food coloring to make the potatoes purple a little unsafe?

    Unless, of course, you use natural foods or herbs. If you don’t mind sharing, will you reveal your secret purple dye?

  2. Robyn Marie Wynn says

    Never heard of that show…is it on E or MTV? They both like trashy shows that hook up tramps and bad boys.

    Stephanie is from the hills of West Virginia so it’s natural she’d go out with bad boys.

    There are so many moonshiners and meth labs in the hills that finding anything but a bad boy would be hard. I bet she’s loaded with tattoos.

    Happy that she liked the nice guy and hope this can turn her life around and away from meth dealers and other assorted trash.

      Nooo she is from the hills of Los Angeles, California !! The tv channel that hosts the show is BRAVO where way too many trashy shows I am hooked on are, including real housewives!

    I’m zero for two…purple potatoes, who would have ever thought.

    And the hills of Los Angeles and not West Virginia.

    And zero for three if you don’t bravo.

    I once watched basketball wives on bravo and wanted to throw up.. You ever watch that trashy show?

    Go Pats!!!!!!!!

    I’d love to be the cheese in a Tom Brady-Julian Edelman sandwich.

    How about a Sunday wedding ?
    But why are you surprised that all the good sites are booked for Saturday?
    People plan weddings a year I’m advance…
    Think out of the box and go for a Friday or Sunday. Or do it someplace unique like on the beach in Revere and then party hard at The Sons of Italy club in Malden. You’ll save a ton of money.
