Lola Coasters (Vancouver)
Creamsicle, Peanut Butter and Jelly
Sometimes I feel glutinous eating marshmallows on their own. Thankfully someone has decided to make gourmet ones sandwiched between two soft graham crackers so I don’t have to feel so guilty about pigging out!
The Summer s’more flavours (including Cotton Candy, Bacon, Piña Colada, and Pink Lemonade - to name a few) are delicious and pastel coloured! Perfect for my Birthday party!
Cupcakes Like It Sweet (Bellingham)
Chocolate Fudge Cupcake, Sprinkles Cupcake
The last thing I expected to find was a cute cupcake cafe in Bellingham! It was a sweet surprise to eat such flavourful and rich cupcakes! Props to the handmade sprinkles which were flawless and tasty (even on their own!). I’m looking for an excuse to cross the border for a return visit!
Caramel Apple Pie Cookie
I’m easily sold on anything well packaged. Including this cookie!
Apples baked into a pie crust cookie with gobs of caramel on top was an absolute no brainer for me - I had to have it! Too bad it’s only around for the Summer, I would have loved this all year round!
Banana Chocolate Swirl
My latest find!!
It has a third less fat than regular ice cream. That’s why I ate the whole pint and felt totally okay with it! Also it’s absolutely delicious, creamy and flavourful! No one had to force me to eat this!
Peanut Butter Cups + Classic Almond Butter
Justin claims to have the BEST nut butter in the world and I may have to completely totally agree with him!
I feel like I could rave about the almond butters forever! I absolutely love the different flavours like maple almond, or honey almond (even the classic is spoon to mouth worthy)!
What really impressed me is when I found out he even makes exquisite peanut butter cups!! DESSERT!!! I couldn’t even ask for anything more!!
Clearly I’m HIGHLY recommending everyone to try!
The Red Wagon (Vancouver)
Pulled Pork Pancakes
I LOVE THEM!!!
I’m still kinda confused as to whether this really counts as dessert, but HELLO these were the most delicious pancakes I’ve ever had and so I need to make a post about them. THE END!
Dadeo (Edmonton)
Bananas Foster
Apparently they use to have a location in Vancouver, but closed down? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY??!!!!
I love Cajun cuisine a LOT more than the next person and I knew if there was one place I should eat at in Edmonton it would have to be Dadeo’s (great choice Josh)!
I, of course, ate way too much AND THEN ordered the Bananas Foster (serves 2-4).
What I was expecting was a culinary spectacle, followed by the most satisfying sweet indulgence, which would lead to a major sugar high (strong enough to cause me to break a sweat - by just sitting and eating).
That’s exactly what I got!
I’ve never been happier with my gluttony! I completely love and adore you Dadeo!!
Tutti Frutti (Basically everywhere except Vancouver…)
Soy Black Sesame + Guava
Ever since visiting Yogurtland I’ve been a major frozen yogurt snob - easily turning down all other froyo shops (even ones I previously raved about!).
BUT I always give new places a try AND THANK GOD I DID!!!!
Whoever decided to make black sesame froyo is an absolute genius!!! Having SOY flavours is so cute and trendy (and extremely tasty).
Now if only they would open a location here in Vancouver…
Nelson the Seagull (Vancouver)
Toasted “To Die For” Banana Bread with mascarpone and honey
I’m “dying” to try all the different creations Erin Ireland has out there and since banana bread is what I like to call a “perfect combination of heaven and food” I found myself dragging (but not really against her will) my friend to this cafe one morning.
This is my FAVOURITE kind of breakfast - one that includes nutritious qualities, but also contains all the attributes of a dessert!
(My friend wants me to make it known that the coffee was REALLY good too!)
