The Butterfly NYC

OK, I've been horrible about posting. Unlike pro-blogger Jen, I get too caught up in everything else. So it's fair to say something has to push me over the top in order to suddenly decide to post something.

This cute little place came up in a random search and I'm hooked - partly because the name of the place is my nickname for her, but mostly because the food shots literally made me salivate.  I mean – Coca-cola ice cream? Squash blossoms with mozzarella? I'm in!

Butterfly Patty Melt – diner food at it's highest

Needs no introduction

All kinds of appetizers

Does it even matter? Yum!

Coco-cola ice cream with caramel corn and cherries. Done.

Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich

Bite sized, easy to make, and great for quick desserts...little ice cream cookie sandwiches.  You can easily use store-bought cookies and ice cream, or if you're adventurous (and have time and planning on your side) make it all from scratch.

The ones here are organic, gluten-free chocolate chip and oat cookies (they are actually very small - about 2" diameter).  The ice cream is So Delicious brand chocolate chip coconut milk ice cream.  Just let the ice cream soften a bit, spoon onto the bottom cookie, put the top on and re-freeze for 5 minutes.  And of course, a little presentation goes a long way - we were out of good cocoa powder so we just sprinkled some Barefoot Contessa Sinful Hot Chocolate Mix on the plate.
