NEW ORLEANS EDITION.
Todd had a big conference to go to in New Orleans this past January, and although I have never went with him to any of his conferences before, I HAD to go to this one! I LOVE New Orleans – and it is where we honeymooned. Todd and I love to eat, and when going somewhere like New Orleans we were quite excited about deciding where we were going to go. We knew from the start of the trip that we HAD to go to Sucre. They are known for their delicious macaroons – and they have some spectacular gelato sundaes as well. We knew we wanted to pig out at Sucre – so we skipped dinner that night and went right to dessert! We each ordered a sundae – Todd had the Sucre Sundae: chocolate and caramel sauce, dark chocolate gelato, chocolate croutons, whipped cream, cocoa nibs, and a chocolate macaroon on top. I had the All Things Nola Sundae: bananas foster sauce, brown butter pecan gelato, bread pudding pieces, whipped cream, candied roasted pecans. They were both delish but we BOTH suggest you get the All Things Nola Sundae ( I know I will get one everytime I go from now on.) if you stop by , and pick up a few macaroons for the road.
Today I was straightening the kitchen some and decided to take my Cafe Du Monde coffee can out for a little photo shoot. We bought this on our honeymoon trip to New Orleans! I have been wanting to go back ever since – maybe next summer…. This summer we are planning on going to visit my mom at the beach and to Atlanta.
While I was daydreaming about New Orleans I dug up some new orleans and saints centric stuff from the files.
