I mention them in the title, because GO GO GO right now.

Louie’s birthday was Tuesday, so I went to Nathaniel Reid Bakery to get some breakfast treats. Once I got there, everything looked great, so I got croissants, quiche, and little cakes, for a full day of treats.

We had almond croissants and apple pie croissants first.

The almond croissant tasted like what all other almond croissants I have ever eaten aspired to be but weren’t able. It was delicious.

Then we went on a lovely hike in Shaw Nature Reserve. We’ve both had some time on Tuesdays the past few weeks to get outside, and it’s nicer hiking and being out when less people are (versus on a lovely Sunday afternoon when everybody is free.)

Every time we go to Shaw Nature Reserve we say we should go more often! It’s just a little further than some of our other go-to places, but we always enjoy it. It was a lovely day, sunny and a little cool. We aren’t in full fall colors yet, but some trees are turning.

Then for lunch we had pieces of quiche from the bakery with side salads. Then we worked, and at night with dinner we had a little cake…and then one the next night as well.

If calories didn’t matter, we would eat this way every day. These pastries and cakes and quiche (not picture, it was wedge shaped, yellow, and OH so creamy and custardy) were amazing. I’m glad Louie had a birthday.
