sugar rush
i forgot to show you guys this photo from NY. They have a food market there that just opened up called Citarella’s. They have different locations in NYC and just opened 2 up in the Hamptons. I went in and was in foodie heaven, everything fresh, everything amazing. Of course I had to walk by the bakery aisle and check out the goodies. I was eyeing a box of muffins and the owner, Joe Citarella walked up to me. He told me i just HAD to get the cinnamon sugar puff muffin. I told him i’m a big fan of anything cinnamon and sugar, and he brought one to the counter, cut one up and told me i had to try a piece.
wow. this was absolutely amazing. I went with it, and bought it within 2 seconds.
The next morning I had it for breakfast. This thing was massive and delicious and melt in your mouth oh so good. I had to share it with you guys, it would be rude for me to keep it all to myself π
Fight the urge to lick the screen π
Last night some friends came over for dinner. I had looked up some recipes online to make use of the salmon I had frozen from Costco. I found one on allrecipes.com for Baked Dijon Salmon. With over 1,000 reviews I knew it had to be worth a shot. The salmon was paired with some grilled zucchini and some potato crinkle wedges that I bought at TJs the other day. What a meal. The salmon came out perfectly and was delicious!
My friend Brittany brought over a freshly baked pan of brownies. Nothing better than still warm from the oven brownies. I can promise you that.
I had a brownie today after my lunch with a mug of coffee. Sugar rush? yes, but perfection, even better.

I posted my very first Operation Beautiful note today. I put it in the women’s bathroom at work… it just made me feel good inside. Thats the whole point of this right? To make women feel amazing. I hope it sends out the message!
I looooooove Citarella’s muffins!! They also make a homemade English Muffin that is TDF. Yay for using up Costco salmon, just 987 pieces left to go!
whaaaaaaat you met Joe Citarella! thats cuhrazy awesome π
Oh for goodness sake, I just drooled on my keyboard after seeing that puff muffin! MMMMMMMM π
Oh man those muffins look delicious! What a way to indulge π
Oh wow those muffins do sound amazing!
And nice salmon dinner, looks like a great recipe! π
Oh my goodness. That picture is amazing!
Everything is this post looks amazing! Especially the muffin!
Currently drooling all over the keyboard because of that muffin…
Trying to fight the urge to lick the screen was EXTREMELY difficult – that cinnamon sugar puff muffin looks delicious!
Yay for OB notes!!
I’m diggin the new cupcake “Daily Goods” – is that another one you did yourself, you crazy talented girlfriend?! π
i tried to fight the urge but i couldn’t — going to get a paper towel to dry my screen now π
β€ operation beautiul – love! xo
Haha … way to make my mouth water!! ; )
omg that muffin DOES look amazing…reminds me of a cinn sugar donut!
Those puff muffins do looks pretty awesome!
That muffin does look delicious but those warm brownies are more up my alley. Sounds like a sweet day π
The salmon sounds amazing!! I totally do the same with looking at how many people have tried it! π
Oh, I’m with you with the cinnamon and sugar! Anything with that on it is amazing π
I love your idea of putting that note in the bathroom. it’s something most women struggle with. What an encourager you are!
WOWsa – that thing is totally drool worthy!!! I wonder if I could find a recipe for something similar somewhere…. π
Hi, I just came across your blog! That cinnamon muffin looks amazing! That’s cool that the owner came up to you. I also live in NYC and go out to the Hamptons… Citarella is a very popular chain (I live up the block from one). I wonder if Joe Citarella is married? π
I run a vegetarian food blog about what I eat, and my kitten Peanut… I hope you check it out sometime! π
Take care,
Marina
Mmmmm, NOTHING is better than hot, chewy brownies fresh out of the oven! Agreed. π
ahh that is serious torture with that sugary photo! love the OB note π
what a great day of foods! i love that the owner came up and had you try the muffin. it looks totally amazing! although i might be a bigger fan of that brownie there…chocolate gets me every time π
Seriously…that muffin looks amazing. Love the operation beautiful note! I haven’t written one yet, but I really want to.
I think I have been making my zucchini wrong.. it keeps making me a little sick lately. Wouldn’t that be weird to only have a food issue with zucchini? π
So glad to see someone is sharing my sugar rush of the moment! That sugar puff muffin looks fantastic!!! I want to learn how to make those!
everything looks so yummy – on today’s todolist is now to find something cinnamon sugary =)
oh and I love the new header =)
I totally wanted to lick the screen for this entire post. yum. Have a great weekend darling!
Cinnamon/sugar isn’t usually my go to/craving combination, but that does look like one tasty muffin!
OMG, that muffin looks amazing! I too don’t typically like things that are cinnamon-sugary, but I do make exceptions. I would totally make one for this! And…I am supposed to be going to NYC next month, so I may seriously have to look for this place! π
The salmon sounds awesome, too!

The muffin…the brownie…look so amazingly delicious!
reading so many blogs that are based on the east coast makes me soOo want to head over there! I gotta make a list of places I’d love to visit. This place will be on the list.
