The other day on a pretty afternoon, a few friends and I headed down to the local park to hangout and have a little picnic. Honestly, things like this are *SO* under-rated. I love that little day dates like this can be as planned or impromptu as you’d like! While I love having a big, fun BBQ party, I love sitting in the city park with milkshakes just as much. I’m telling you, next time you’re bored, try this out!

Let’s get to it.
While I did cut out dairy a few years ago from my diet (I am very lactose intolerant) that hasn’t hindered my love of ice-cream in any way, shape, or form. Honestly, it’s done the exact opposite. I like to think of it like a game. Who has the best non-dairy flavor? They have vegan custard at a coffee shop a half hour away?? Let’s GO. I love hunting around the city for the next best non-dairy ice-cream flavor and seeing what people have to offer. That’s why when I found out Daiya was coming out with a new Dessert Bar, I hunted it down instantly.
If you aren’t familiar with Daiya and are looking to add more plant-based meals to your diet, you need to check them out. Daiya offers all the goods (aka better-for-you comfort foods) like Pizza, Burritos, and now Dessert Bars. If we’re being honest, most of the time, you can catch me posted up on a Friday night with a bowl of Daiya Cheezy Mac in one hand, and the remote in the other lol. Netflix & Chill? More like Netflix & Grub.
I can’t believe my toddler actually cooperated and is down for his nap. The odds are never in my favor, and I typically only get him to sleep 1 out of 5 attempts. I’m almost done writing my next travel blog post, but I thought I’d get a quick recap up before it turns into a 3-week recap next time.

And let’s be honest: what gets you more excited for a new season than cute new outfits from

Tempura pasta is happening and is as tasty as you can only imagine. Have you ever thought about making a tasty-looking finger food out of a rigatone? NO? Honestly, this is absolutely genius. Let me introduce you to a wonderfully unique snack that will amaze all your guests - and you will win the love of vegetarians too! Crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside, tempura pasta filled with ricotta and basil filling may be the ultimate vegetarian foodporn - I mean it. Delicious rigatoni are cooked al dente, and filled with mouth-watering fresh ricotta. They're sealed in a crispy panko coating and deep-fried to perfection ( or baked in the oven) to be immediately served with a spicy marinara sauce. Are you drooling already?
