New Downtown Fullerton Eateries...

Last week we headed to Downtown Fullerton for a little foodery splurging. We ate at Fuoco Pizzeria Napoletana for dinner and then walked 10 feet next door to Layer Cake Bakery for some yummy dessert!

Let me just begin by saying, Fuoco is so yum! We shared the Insalata Della Casa (house salad), and had the Quattro Formaggi pizza (four cheese?), however Mitch highly recommends the lots-of-meat one ;)

All the main ingredients are imported from Italy, and the oven itself was brought over from a place near Naples! The description of the pizza at Fuoco is as follows: 

A pizza Napoletana is made from a soft dough which is naturally leavened using very little yeast and lots and lots of time. This makes for a very light and easily digestible pizza. The baking process takes only 90 seconds and the result is an airy and somewhat charred crust full of smoky flavor.

Are you sold, yet? 

After dinner, we each got a little something special to our heart's desire at Layer Cake. Mitch had a lemon bar, James had a vanilla macaroon, and I had a tres leches strawberry cake (cue the drool). 

The space is so cool inside Layer Cake! If I was a college student or had a ton of free time, I could totally see myself hanging out there with a coffee, book and baked good. Hmmm...maybe Mitch + I are up for a date night and a little banana grams tournament before baby Henry arrives? I think YES.

ps- I love that we love our city! Stay tuned for more Downtown Fullerton adventures!

Summer Foodies: Fudgesicles

photo credit: rawfoodpassion

I have been craving these chocolatey popsicles thanks to the weather getting warmer & warmer, and thanks to our pal Steve for bringing them to life group on Tuesday.

I found this recipe over at Raw Food Passion and I can't wait to try it out!

Fudgesicles:

Ingredients: 1 avocado, 1 1/2 banana, 1/2 cup of water, 1/4 cup of honey, 1/4 cup of raw chocolate powder.

Directions: Mix all of the ingredients in a blender or vitamixer. Taste to see if it is sweet enough or chocolaty enough and if it is pour it into your popsicle molds. This amount is enough to make four popsicles for the mold in the picture. Freeze for 5 hours and then enjoy with friends!
