I hope I’m not jinxing it by saying this, but tomorrow we start the streak of hot weather in Seattle! And the best way to celebrate is by stopping by Cupcake Royale for a free scoop of ice cream between 2-8PM.

Sweets on sweets. Some may say this is too much; I say it is just right.

Instead of making myself breakfast, I’d rather just…talk about what I’d rather be having. #Life

The other day I saw an Instagram for this on a Carl’s Jr. Menu and while you might think that this is something that I would get excited for, the thought of it is a little bit terrifying. SO. MUCH. SUGAR. I love my strawberry frosted pop tarts, I really do, but ice cream too? That’s an overload…an overload of awesomeness?
In all seriousness, I would probably tap out after four bites of this, but geez $1.49? Carl’s Jr. you sure know the way to a person’s heart!

I meant to post this a couple of days ago, but Kevin and I have been cooking up a storm lately! For some time, we have been searching for a way to make a pasta dish without always using sauce. I found this recipe via Pinterest via Canadian Living which is one of my favorite recipe sites. Making the dish was really a team effort for the two of us, but even though it was a pasta without sauce, what I loved about this most was that it was very home-y. It reminded me of something my mom would make or a meal that I used to eat at the “Hearty Classics” station in my university’s cafeteria. Check out the full recipe here. As always, I made the recipe my way and eliminated mustard…cause I don’t like it. We think that maybe taking that ingredient out made it less flavor, but we did our best to gain it back with lots of seasoning.
Maybe someday I’ll follow recipes the way I’m supposed to.

Happy Earth Day y’all!
To celebrate, one of my favorite blogs – SHFT – co-founded by Entourage’s Adrian Grenier – and Ford Motors Company launched a new app today that allows you to find great tasting and healthy food while you’re on the road. I’ve only taken one road trip in my life and on that trip, I had a Subway sandwich from a gas station (yep – it was conjoined! It was weird!) and an In-N-Out burger because … if you turn that down, then you are a fool. It’s so easy to spot out a fast food joint because there are signs for them all over the highway, but sometimes you just want something that’s good for ya!
With Food Tripping, the app will direct you to farmers’ markets, juice joints, microbreweries and food that your body won’t hate you for.

It’s just one of those Sundays, you know? Kevin and I don’t feel like cooking unless it’s baking that chocolate cake sitting on the fridge right now. We’ve pretty much just given up on looking for recipes for tonight. Don’t even ask us about going to the grocery store later this afternoon because we just settled on KFC. Specifically, I’m craving the sides. I know that’s unusual to want everything else and hold the chicken, but the heart wants what the heart wants. High cholesterol.
Womp womp.

Milk Jar Cookies!
The new shop opened up in Los Angeles yesterday and after reading about the new opening, I have started to come up with ways on how to get my hands on one of these scrumptious looking cookies. Maybe Gelesia will be oh so kind to me and send me a box? If you have a chance, stop by Milk Jar at 5466 Wilshire Boulevard, LA, CA 90036.
And if the menu doesn’t sell you enough on cookies like Cinnamon Sugar, Mint Chocolate, Chocolate Raspberry, Chocolate Chip Walnut and many others, then their adorable website will.

Lately, I have been having a little bit of a sweet tooth! It’s odd because I normally don’t eat sweets at all, but this morning the first thing I ate sitting down at my desk was a yellow Starburst. That’s how it all starts…
Tonight I came across these fancy marshmallows by Plush Puffs and had to hold myself back from making a midnight online purchase.
Check out the rest of their flavors here.

How We Celebrate Wednesdays:
Readers!
I went to my first event hosted by Seattle blogger Cassandra Lavalle of coco + kelley yesterday with my co-worker and had a fabulous time. Additionally, it was my first time stepping foot into West Elm, which is pretty much heaven for a designer. I found myself wanting every little item and dreaming about my future home in which it could be furnished entirely by West Elm. I even came across the popular desk used by many of the bloggers that I idolize. It’s $300, but that’s okay. Someday, it could be mine!
The event was on entertaining guests and setting up parties for the upcoming spring/summer season. I loved this set up above because of the primary color theme and the spice rub takeaways for guests!
After the event, Toby and I decided to continue on with celebrating our Wednesday and went out to dinner at Tilkum Place Cafe – my first time! I actually worked with the restaurant before while in college when I had them sponsor an auction that I was working on, but I had never tried it before. Our first footstep into the restaurant was pretty much what sold us! We shared the clams (the special!) as an appetizer and Toby ordered the Savory Tart while I had the Roasted Vegetable Salad. It was the perfect meal for our Wednesday celebration and…just because!
A Fried Egg On Top
When you are a poor college student, there a a few staples that you truly live off of. For me, that was fruit, bread, boxed pasta, rice, and eggs. Obviously I ate more than that, but that’s really all you need, right? There has been a couple of posts on Yow Yow! where I have discussed in the past how Veronica and I have spent evenings making dinner together that were just “eggs-in-a-baskets.” Essentially, a cracked egg in the middle of a piece of bread. Dinner’s ready! It was a poor college girl’s go-to, but a fried egg can be so much more. Cool Material has compiled a list of the web’s best recipes involving a fried egg and I can’t wait to try at least a couple of these.
Guys, I really think you’re going to love this.
