1. I’m a “cookieaholic.”  In fact, after reading Dixya’s post about Lindsay’s cookies, I knew exactly what I had to do after work on Friday.  Like literally the minute I stepped inside the apartment.  I wasted no time whipping up a batch of these Peanut Butter Avocado cookies (trust me, you absolutely can’t taste the avocado).  Let’s just say, I had no regrets!

2.  My new colleague, Bhusha, is honestly one of the nicest people ever.  We spent a good portion of the weekend together, and it truly felt like I was hanging out with one of my girlfriends.  She has such a beautiful spirit.  I already told her that come Friday, I’m going to cry.  She thinks I’m kidding.  Ha!

[Bhusha hates getting her picture taken so let’s pretend I was able to capture one of us together.]

3.  I have another restaurant recommendation for y’all.  Nexxt Café on Lincoln Mall Road is awesome.  At first, I was a little nervous after seeing the extensive menu.  There were easily 100+ different dishes listed.  We ended up picking some winners…

Sweet corn tamales (YUM!)

Spinach artichoke dip

Eggplant sandwich

4.  Gelato is the best thing ever.  EVER.  Gelateria 4-D (also on Lincoln Mall Road) has some delicious, super creamy gelato.  A must try if you’re in South Beach.

5.  I could get used to dinner views like this.  Definitely.

What was a major highlight from your weekend?
