The last few weeks of summer have been pretty hectic. I was in LA for a few weeks with a couple trips to Vegas thrown in there. Then I was back in New York just in time for the weather to go from 75 to 60 and back to 80 again. What’s going on mother nature? And why have you taken all the pumpkins with you? How am I supposed to make pumpkin pie and pumpkin cookies and pumpkin cupcakes with this shortage?
As the very last trip of the summer, Vini and I went to Minneapolis for my dear friend Annie’s wedding reception. We only had 2 days but we were so pleasantly surprised with all the foodie finds. We got in early, hopped in the rental car and started our midwest adventure.
We started at Brasa Premium Rotisserie. It was like southern bbq with a cuban twist. Vini had the slow roasted pork plate with rice and beans. I ordered a ton of sides for us to share including: cornbread, masa cake with cheese (it was like an inside out pupusa), apple and cabbage slaw, jalapeño cream spinach, and the salad special, curried chickpeas. It was all SO delicious. Unfortunately, I only snapped a shot of our Dr. Pepper bottle. When the food came, we chowed down so fast I totally forgot to take a picture!
