Where to find these little cupcakes in Paris?

In France we have our famous Macarons and in US I discovered the Cupcake.
In Boston for the birthday party of her twins, a friend of mine bought some carrots cupcakes. I was amazed but it is like our Petit Four sucrés but more funny.

As a French girl when I watched American movies and saw these cupcakes I always thought their are not real but I discovered they are real and it is tasty!

So for the american people who visit Paris and want to buy these little cupcakes I know the place where to buy them. I discovered her through Message. She is doing a great job. The cupcakes are colorful in different shape. The kids love them because it is more easy to eat and can ask for a different one each time.

What’s your favourite flavour?

Vegetables for kids yes it is possible

When you eat yourself vegetables you think your kids will eat vegetables too, but I discovered with my kids that it was another story with each of them. So I tried to find on the web recipes for kids until a friend of mine came home and brought some yummy chocolate muffins, my kids loved them. I discovered that is was made with zucchini!

The recipe was inspired by the blog Chocolate & Zucchini. For the one who don’t know it, it is written in English by a French blogger based in Paris that lived in Silicon Valley. It gives really good French recipes and I find many ideas for my kids. So if you are fed up with pasta and ham, it is a nice option for the whole family. Bon appétit.

French restaurant with kids?

Travelling with kids for some parents it is just impossible for me it is okay even after 12 hours flight. But bringing  kids  to a good restaurant is just unthinkable. When a friend invited me lately in a French restaurant in Boston I just cannot recommend any.
So decided to be able to choose among the big choice we have in Boston. The answer was in the Boston magazine that I bought until I discovered that they have a great website that help you to choose exactly what you like wherever you live in Boston, Beyond Boston, or Cambridge…

So the only French restaurant I went in Boston is Pigalle, rated Best of winner Boston, and I really had a great time, the food is good for my French taste and the design, the light, the waiters are nice so I recommend it as The Boston Magazine saying "Rich, savory fare paired with exceptional service sets this cozy hideaway apart. Chef Marc Orfaly uses traditional techniques (mostly French) but there is a true sense of fun in his food.(…) this is an upscale spot, Orfaly isn’t too haughty to delight us with a dessert of fresh-baked cookies."

Another French restaurant that many friends recommend me is Le Petit Robert, they say that is good food and the Boston Magazine highlights "Affordable French fare without sacrificing style" .

Regarding Paris you can go in a bistrot or some brasseries during the summer with kids, in this way you will be in a terrass, but don’t go with a double stroller if you don’t want to hear bad things about kids… My favorite spot is Paul you can find one anywhere in France and it is nice food with kids, you won’t cry if the plate falls down. You will find all the good French dessert, Eclair au chocolat, macarons, tarte aux citrons… Bon Appétit!
