A Daily Read and DC Eats

I think it is always cool to share food findings as I come across them.  So I'm going to try to make more food recommendations as my blog goes on.

The first one isn't something edible, but rather another food blog that I enjoy following.  The Ingredient List is a blog I stumbled across during my time on the VWVortex forums.   The Ingredient List covers a different ingredient every weekday and it's good read.  Although I'm generally more into baking, upping one's food knowledge is always a plus.

My second suggestion is something decidedly more tangible and actually a recommendation I received.  I think for most the current cupcake trend may be wearing a bit thin.  However, if you ever find yourself in the Georgetown area of DC or even just near it Baked & Wired comes highly recommended.  Oddly enough we walked right by this local DC spot the first time we were in Georgetown and had no idea that it was so much better than the usual suspects also located nearby (Georgetown Cupcakes and Sprinkles).  Baked & Wired's cakecups as they call them are a bit more expensive than most, but also significantly larger and there are plenty of flavors to choose from.  We tried the strawberry, the flapjack (because bacon makes everything better), and grabbed some Unicorns & Rainbows for the kids.  Each cakecup was flavorful and moist, even the one we had left over the next day.  With even more interesting baked goods to try in addition to the cakecups I think Baked & Wired will certainly be a stop we make again.  I'll probably check out The Ingredient List while enjoying a cakecup and mocha.
