Cafe Mary Grace: Mango Bene

Mango Bene from Cafe Mary Grace.

One word: OHMY! This is piece of heaven in a cake slice! I wanted to buy one whole cake to take home but it needs to be frozen and refrigerated immediately so I was thinking it might melt on the way home. Id love to have my family taste it sometime. In the meantime, I need to buy silver coins for our New Year’s Eve celebration tomorrow! More sweets await me!

Cafe Mary Grace: Spanish Sardines and Olives Pasta

Spanish Sardines and Olives Pasta
Spanish sardines and a great zing to an aglio e olio (garlic and olive oil). Tomatoes and mushrooms add color and flavor

Believe it or not, it was my first time to try Cafe Mary Grace last month. My college friends and I met there over lunch and finally were able to catch up on each other’s lives – talking about family, money like cash advances, savings and credit card bills!, children, marriages, and how we have changed since motherhood came.

Too Much Food!

The holiday season is going to be over and done with when the clock strikes 12 come December 31st tomorrow. And I will be going on a strict diet afterwards. It will be the year I finally lose weight, I want to claim that! With the husband staying with us, I will now have my own fitness trainer, coach and food guard (I call him that sometimes!). I just need to put on the last finishes of address labels of the thank you cards I will be sending out and then I will start listing down everything I need to buy at the grocery tomorrow.
