Friday Foods: Cupcakes

I was recently in NYC. And like every year, I had to visit my favourite cupcake shop and get the most delicious cupcakes I've ever had. I discovered Magnolia Bakery while on the Sex and the City tour 5 years ago. If you are ever in NYC, you must visit one of their locations and try these cupcakes. My favourite is the vanilla with vanilla frosting. Here are a couple of pics from there.

 Caprese Bites

I love love love making these. They are so delicious and easy to put together.

All you need:
-cherry tomatoes
-fresh basil
-mozzarella pearls
-extra virgin olive oil
-balsamic vinegar
-salt
-toothpicks

I personally like to marinate my mozzarella in some balsamic vinegar and olive oil before I put it all together. It still tastes great if you just drizzle the dressing on top.

I'm in a seafood kind of mood right now. I am definitely looking forward to making these.




What you need:
1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 pounds sea scallops
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in garlic, and cook long enough to smell the garlic. Next add in scallops, cooking for 3-5l minutes on each. Cook the scallops until firm and opaque. Remove scallops from skillet and place on a plate. Whisk salt, pepper, and lemon juice into melted butter. Drizzle sauce over the cooked scallops and serve!
