One of my absolute favorite things ever is kabobs on the grill in the summertime. So, how happy was I when I skipped just 1 mile down the road to Tabitha & Lyndsey’s house for a cookout — and they were MAKING kabobs! Kabobs with carmelized onions, juicy cherry tomatoes, crispy chargrilled chicken, crunchy peppers and amazing steak. Add a side of quinoa & chickpea salad, a glass of sangria and one of the best cupcakes I’ve ever had in my life and you have a darn good night of food and good company!
It was a perfect, humid summer night (I actually love humidity for some odd reason) and we had a deck, pretty food and good conversation. George and Emily brought a huge batch of cupcakes from Alexandria Cupcake (1 million x better than Crumbs, btw). They were so good I had to sneak one home for Rick!
Let’s just say today was a little indulgent. After work, I came home for a pre-dinner snack of my leftover cheese plate from Cheestique last night (post coming soon on that amazing meal!) Then I had a much bigger dinner than my appetite called for but in this instance, I really loved the food I was eating and it was worth the extra calories. I sware the frosting on that cupcake seriously unlocked a moment of joy in my mouth.

Cute pic of yourself, red looks good on you. You're missing one detail, what flavor was the cupcake?? Looks delicious either way.
thanks! Yes, I know, it was more delicious looking in real life. It was actually a dark chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting. SOOO good!
