Bald Head Island

My husband and I just returned from a mini vacation in Bald Head Island, NC, where we were attending the wedding of our friends.  It is an amazing island with beautiful beaches; so peaceful, so relaxing, so quiet.  Cars are not allowed on the island, so you take a ferry there and drive golf carts.  I mean, seriously, how cute?  We will be back again soon, next time for much longer.  We had quite our fill of southern food - fried shrimp and fried oysters and fried crab cakes and fried chicken, oh you name it and we had it.  Ice cream.  Lots of ice cream.  The island had the most amazing ice cream stand.  I love when mint chocolate chip ice cream isn't green.  

Road trips can be dangerous for me.....look what we picked up on the way home, after a weekend of nonstop eating.  

We were in North Carolina, how could we not have Krispy Kreme?


We're trying to detox this week so bare with me.  Tonight is kale with pasta and we may just stuff ourselves with more veggies until the weekend.  

Speaking of, we're hosting a dinner party this Saturday and are featuring a Spanish themed menu, of course.  We're still finalizing the menu but we're thinking of some tapas, gazpacho and seafood paella, and lots of cava and rioja, and of course olives and cheese and iberico that we vacuum packed and brought home.  So stayed tuned!
