All cupcakes were eaten! They were well-received by the allergic crowd and I was super happy with them. Someone actually stole the groom cupcake! I asked him at the end of the night if he ate his cupcake and he said no, someone had taken it already! The nerve!


Oh yeah, and we had fun too. I danced so hard. I was sore for days. Worth it. <333

I'm not cooking tonight for the sake of leftovers and fatigue, so I thought I'd share a review of my favorite breakfast spot to hit up when I'm back home where I grew up, in Northampton, Massachusetts. My BF and I have been hitting Northampton hard for 10 years, starting as kids running around getting pizza at Mimo's, and perusing through vinyl and cds at Turn it Up records before causing mischief at local shows at Pearl Street's Basement. Now a days, we love meeting up with old friends for drinks and pool at Ye Old Watering Hole, family dinner outings at the Brewery, and grabbing mushroom burgers super late after a long night at Local Burger. We visit every single time we come back. We probably won't ever live back in Massachusetts again, but if we ever did, man, what a place to live. Northampton sums up the happiest times I spent growing up. ::sniff::

Did I mention Northampton is a great vegan city? It has a huge population of vegans and environmentalists, and people who just are into healthy local living. This breakfast/lunch cafe, The Green Bean, is a great spot for brunch, with plenty of vegan options. I love that you can sub tofu for any of the scrambles that are on the menu, and I always do. I should probably try something new, but the one thing I got the first time I went, I loved so much that I don't ever want to not eat it. It's a greek-inspired scramble with cubed tofu (best part), olives, spinach and sundried tomatoes with little pickled red onions. It comes with a side of roasted potatoes, because what kind of breakfast is complete without them? Oh and also you can sub a muffin or whatever for a vegan corn pancake! And they're amazing. Vegan butter also available. A multitude of hot sauces are available for your fiery pleasure as well.
