Let's visit New York City's annual Bastille Day Fair and have a picnic: gazpacho with a piece of baguette, $5, and an Orangina, $2.
Fruit jellies, everything from cassis to apricot to mango (made with pectin) from Burdick Chocolate, 2 for $1 or 12 for $5.
Mon Dieu - vegan cookies at the Bastille Day festival?!? This is almost as exciting as David Lebovitz's post on vegan strawberry ice cream.
I had a coconut macaroon, $2, from Vegan Divas. They also had vegan brownies and oatmeal raisin cookies - not very French, but a great sign of progress how vegan food is showing up all over the place.
Veganize Nutella, a favorite spread for bananas, crepes and crusty bread everywhere. I haven't tried the recipe, and the real thing is a major weakness of mine.

Thanks for sharing the festivities! Mon dieu, you had me at "Nutella" and "Macaroon"! Hope you're having a fantastic summer. ; )
You're welcome, and thanks for the comment. Oh that Nutella! Chocolate and hazelnut together = heaven.
Having a great summer - enjoying the slower pace the heat demands of us all. Hope you are too with Noah and your husband.
