Though my husband swears it's creepy - I love a good blogger meet-up! Especially when it's with Maria who lives just a few hours away! The beauty behind A Life to Bragg About invited me to spend the weekend with her and, as if you ever doubted it, we spent more time eating than sleeping.
If you already follow me on instagram then you've probably already seen these bad boys:
 |
| Blue Moon Cafe... I loooove you! |
I *almost* wish I had talked the waitress into taking pictures of us trying to eat it. It got everywhere. Cheeks... Noses... Elbows... Butts... and I suppose a fair amount made it into our bellies as well. We're classy bloggers, and don't you forget it =)
 |
| fig, goat cheese, and caramelized onion crostini from Blue Moon Cafe in Fayetteville, NC |
 |
| another Blue Moon Cafe home run: crab dip with veggies and pita points |
Clearly I'm in love with this restaurant! It's super cute - especially their specials menu:
Does anyone else want to hunt down an old beat up palette and
a can of chalkboard spray paint?
We also had a little fun in the kitchen:
 |
| impromptu gluten-free veggie mexican pizza with black beans, peppers, tomato, corn and avocado |
and Cinco de Mayo was celebrated in style with some rockin' Mexican food:
 |
| mind-blowingly-awesome fish tacos at El Cazador in Fayetteville, NC |
followed by a night out with these amazing ladies =)
Ole!
Eventually I had to drag my butt home and go back to a life of Starbucks, salads, and stuffed sweet potatoes. But I'm not complaining one bit =)
So.... what have you been stuffing your face with?
that menus is awesome! i love when restaurants get creative.
ReplyDeleteblogger sleepover sounds like fun... now come to ATL and do one! :)
classy my assy.
ReplyDeleteHaha! "Ole!" :)
ReplyDeleteDo you love the Blonde Roast as much as I do?
I've seriously LOVED participating in the last few WIAWs. Cannot wait to submit my latest and greatest!
PS: pretty nails in the Cinco de Mayo photograph.
All your eats look fantastic! I missed the smores on IG. And the pizzas & tacos... yum! Thanks for sharing. Love blogger meetups.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great weekend to me! I saw those s'mores on Twitter and drooled over them.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had the chance to meet up with any other bloggers and it makes me a little sad. I want to make some new blends!
I LOVE meeting up with bloggers...especially when you connect so well immediately! I've yet to have a blogger sleepover, though. (Unless Blend counts?) I hope to have a few this summer. :)
ReplyDeleteWe a instagram buddies and I saw you had such a fabulous weekend! So fun. Mmmm, that avocado is screaming at me!
ReplyDeleteSo lucky that you all got to meet up! I wish I could meet some around me too! :D
ReplyDeleteSo lucky that you all got to meet up! I wish I could meet some around me too! :D
ReplyDeleteThat smores dessert looks incredible!!! Stuffed sweet potatoes is a good life to go back to! Wish we had blogger meet ups in Ireland, the only bloggers I speak with etc...are 90% in America!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun time and amazing foodies! I actually haven't met up with ANY bloggers, but I plan on doing so very soon! :D I'm going to start WIAW next week; so stoked.
ReplyDeleteOK, all I can focus on are those s'mores! Holy cow! I want them right now!!
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty ladies, you are all looking gorgeous m'dears :) That smore dessert looks fantastic to say the least, I don't have instagram so I am just seeing this wonder now!

ReplyDeletewow that baked smores dessert looks amazing!! sounds like you had a fun weekend!
ReplyDeleteAh I love Blue Moon Cafe! I stopped in Fayetteville on a roadtrip once and stumbled onto that place and lovedd it. Have you ever had their peanut butter pie? SO good.
ReplyDeleteTo participate in WIAW, do I just copy and paste that code into my post? I tried that and it still just came out as code so I'm thinking I did something wrong....
No I haven't!!!! I want to try nearly everything on their menu though!!!
ReplyDeleteHookay so you know how you write your posts in that little text box? Switch it to HTML, paste the button, then switch back to text to keep writing! =) That's how you'll add any HTML code or button ever so it should come in handy! Did you add your page to mine yet? There is a blue button at the bottom of my post that says "add your link" and you'll paste your post and name/photo into that to add your WIAW to the party! Let me know if you need any help! MWAH!!!

ReplyDeleteI think Blend totally counts!

ReplyDeleteWe pass through Fayetteville on the way to the hubs hometown all the time. We might just have to take a detour and check out that joint!
ReplyDeleteEating out in a new town is the best part! Especially when you live in the land of chain and fast food restaurants like around here!
ReplyDeleteA food blogger meet-up sounds like such a fun and YUMMY time! How can your hubby find this creepy? I'm jealous! Lol
