Snacks: Grocery Outlet find!

Last week my husband took me to The Grocery Outlet because I had never been there, at least not that I remember... so we were browsing and I was actually excited because a lot of things I buy at grocery stores on a every-other-day basis was there! And for $1.50! When I normally buy them for much more than that!

I went to go look at the ice cream because well.... hello, it's my favorite isle (so is frozen foods)! And I found this....!!



I must have screamed when I saw this! This was my all time favorite ice cream when I was a kid! I seriously have NOT seen this since the 90's! I was so excited! AND it was $1.50! Oh my gosh! Oh how I wish I wasn't on my to class so I could had picked up a few boxes and enjoyed them at home in all of its creamy, vanilla-y, crisp goodness!

I will definitely be going back for a few of boxes of these!

Holiday Snacks: Cadbury Mini Eggs.

Every year, I patiently wait for these babies to make their appearance. I'm not a huge fan of Easter... it always reminds me of wearing an itchy dress and being forced to go to church then going Easter Egg hunting in said itchy dress but nope, you can't get the dress dirty!

But it also reminds me of warm sunny afternoons in high school when me and my best friend would snack on these babies and talk about boys.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate either (I know, unheard of, right? A girl who doesn't like chocolate) but I'm a sucker for these!! I'm sad these only come once a year.



I love how colorful store isles get when the Easter candy comes out! Easter is almost here which is a slight bummer, the next colorful holiday isn't going to be until... Halloween?!

Baking: Valentines Day ready to make cookies.

My husband and I decided to bake some cookies last night, I love these! My mom had made the Easter version last year and I just love the swirled chocolate chips.

My husband was getting frustrated because every time he turned around, I'd grab a square of cookie dough and eat it! Haha. He was like "did you want cookies or just cookie dough?!" and he tried to scare me with the worms-growing-in-your-stomach story. I wasnt buying it! Besides, instead of figuring out how to make 24 cookies, now we only had to worry about 20 :) I think I actually helped the situation!

I'm not a fan of my oven. I can never remember if I should bake things on the top rack or the bottom. So at first, we had these at the bottom. And they burned around the edges but were raw in the middle so the husband switch it to the top and they just burned completely lol. I'm up for a second try!

The only frustrating part was that my parents had came home around the time we were making them and they were freaking out at the fact that they cookies were slightly burned. Did they forget I went to culinary school? I'm not going to burn down the kitchen, goodness.

Out To Eat: Cold Stone Sundae - Strawberry Funnel Cake


Cold Stone Creamery came out with these new sundae's. I cant remember exactly what they're called (and I cant find any info online) but I'm gonna take a guess and say that it was something along the lines for "Hot Sundae".

They have a few other selections. One being a Churro sundae, a brownie sundae, a caramel apple sundae, an apple cake sundae and I think there was another selection. I hope to try more of these!

The Strawberry Funnel Cake sundae normally comes with french vanilla ice cream but my husband wanted cheesecake instead. So okay, sure. Lets try it with cheesecake! Honestly to me, there wasnt much of a difference. The cheesecake made everything creamy, but it wasnt a huge difference. As for the sundae itself, the funnel cake was mini sized (which I dont mind, I can never finish an entire funnel cake on my own anyway), the strawberries were a bit soggy and there could had been more powdered sugar. It wasnt as sweet as your normal funnel cake with ice cream but it was a nice little mini treat.

Holiday Snacks: Red Velvet Cookies!

I went grocery shopping for the first time in a really long time a week ago and spotted these at Lucky's!


These cookies are delicious! They're moist and crumbly. The frosting is stiff, I'm a fan of stiff cookie frosting =). I'm not a fan of Cream Cheese Frosting that usually comes with Red Velvet cupcakes, but these are really really good.

If you happen to come across these, I defiantly suggest you try them!
