Pop the champagne open, we’re celebrating early today! 
After a quick free yoga session at Lululemon (which I’ve missed so much since I moved away from Toronto!!), Nate and I headed to Yorkville for a birthday brunch at one of our favourite places – MoRoCo Chocolat.
They have such a cute style of decor and the atmosphere is so nice! It feels like you’re sitting inside of a fairytale.
Although we’ve gotten froyo from there many times before, we’ve never actually sat down for a meal because it’s a little too fancy for an everyday meal for us. It seemed like a great idea for a birthday, though, so we decided to head over for their Sunday morning brunch.
To celebrate the occasion, we both ordered some champagne. I could get used to champagne with my breakfast every day
After looking over the menu, I knew that I definitely wanted the pastry basket, because it was the only thing on the menu that came with chocolate.
I was expecting a few mini pastries, but the basket came with three full-sized croissants (one full of chocolate!), as well as an apple loaf and some lemon cakes.
I was also brought butter, jam and dipping chocolate on the side. I ate pastries smeared in all three until I was stuffed, but it seemed like I didn’t even make a dent in the basket, so I ended up taking a box home with me. I even got to take the little jar of jam home!
I really, really enjoyed the brunch at MoRoCo, and I hope we’ll be able to go back again sometime! It was the best birthday date ever, and I’m so glad Nate took me ♥
Afterward we walked around the neighbourhood and checked out a few stores (including my beloved Whole Foods), and then headed down the street to Mon Berri. We were still stuffed from brunch, but I bought a groupon for this froyo shop a while ago and wanted to use it before it expired or the weather got even colder.
I got an original with strawberries, blueberries and mochi, and it was good but I ended up not being able to finish it because I was still stuffed with fancy pastries.
The rest of the afternoon disappeared between shopping, walking around and driving, and by the time we made it home I was exhausted and feeling the effects of such a busy weekend with such a bad cold. All I wanted to do was curl up in bed, but we threw together a quick dinner first.
Some scrambled eggs, a piece of toast with butter and some leftover spicy caramelized “callieflower” with mayo.
I also managed to find the energy to have a slice of cake and a mini cupcake
Now I’m really exhausted and ready to pass out forever! Or at least until I’m caught up on a weekend’s worth of sleep and my cold has disappeared. I’m off to cuddle up under the gorgeous quilt that Nathan got me for my birthday 
Good night!
Eek! Luckily they were really nice and gave us the “rainy Saturday special”, and charged us to-go price while still letting us sit on the covered part of the patio.
