Auntie Ems Kitchen





We had brunch with Auntie Thea today at Auntie Em's Kitchen in Eagle Rock. Keagan didn't look like he was feeling too well so we decided to get our food to go. I love their steel cut oatmeal with strawberries. It's got such a great texture to it and when it's topped with cream and syrup, it's delicious. I needed something salty to go along with it so I got their waldorf salad which was just okay. Nothing memorable. Auntie Em's is known for their cupcakes and desserts. They had heart shaped sugar cookies frosted with phrases like "sexy me" or "U R cute" in honor of Valentine's Day. They also had red velvet heart shaped cakes also decorated with the typical Valentine's day phrases. They were on "Throwdown with Bobby Flay" a while back for their infamous cupcakes and Auntie Em's won. Their cupcakes are really tasty and moist. I like the homemade look they have...no piping-just frosted by hand. Sometimes it just works well that way. We had a few cups of coffee and packed it all up to go and we spent our morning back at home just hanging out with Thea.
