Duck confit tacos from Jax’s Kitchen.

So … I may or may not be guilty of excessively taking Instagram pics of my food, but it’s hard not to when it looks this good!  Giant slices of pizza and chocolate shakes are definitely getting me through this summer.

Can I haz?  Even the pup appreciates good food with he sees it!

The bf and I went up to Phoenix this weekend for his brother’s bday festivities.  It was a quick trip, because next thing I know, we’re back down in Tucson celebrating Passover with my best friends.  It’s always nice to get out of town, but it’s even nicer to come back home.  Here are a few shots from here and there via Instagram (@jennyinjacquard).

Braised short ribs from Robbie Fox Public House.

Vietnamese coffee ice cream from Churn.  Best.  Ice cream.  Ever.

I helped the bff with Passover prep by whisking these egg whites to death.

If there’s one thing I love more than dessert, it’s a good-looking dessert.  And even though I’m the kind of girl that eats ice cream straight out of the carton, I still appreciate sweets that come dressed with a little pizzazz.

So when my friend Emily and I stumbled up Jean Phillippe Patisserie (she speaks French and could probably say it cooler than me) at Aria in Las Vegas, we found the perfect eye candy.

While the sweet store was stacked full of whimsical cakes, I had my eye (and camera) on the pastries decked out in bold colors and intricate details.  Here are some of my favorite sweets, including a wall mounted with giant chocolate flowers.  Nom nom!
