{outfit} Tasting Famous Foods in Mystic CT

I finally crossed two places off my bucket list this past weekend when I went to visit my youngest brother. He lives close to Mystic, in Connecticut, so we went to Mystic Pizza! I'm not a huge fan of the movie (I know, I know) but I do enjoy good pizza and this was AMAZING. Christian and I shared the Texas Chicken Pizza and it was so good! We also had some of their fries, which he said were some of the best fries he's ever had.

Next on the agenda was Sift Bake Shop! Christian and I love watching all of the seasonal baking competitions on Food Network - Holiday Baking Championship, Spring, Kids, etc. One season a man from Mystic, Adam Young, was on Spring Baking! He made it to the final three that season and also went on to win Best Baker in America on Food Network. He was known for his beautifully made desserts and the ones in his bakery look like they could be on TV. I wish I could have tried everything but settled on the chocolate hazelnut praline and chocolate raspberry torte. Both were delicious!

    I love it when a component of a trip anywhere revolves around eating. I went to Mystic Pizza a couple of times when I was living in that area and remember it being amazing.

    I love the purple knit and bag together and while I haven't heard of that chef, that dessert looks so yummy! :)

    Hope that you are having a great week :) We have had the week off with the kids and have just been doing Christmas activities - it's been so fun! We've gone to two separate snow themed events, even though it's the middle of summer here, haha!

    I haven't been to Mystic in such a long time (since the aquarium?) I've never seen Mystic Pizza, nor have I tried it!
    But I'd be more interested in sampling some of Sifts confections.
