(peaches are one of my favorite fruits, by the way)

Before I left Atlanta, Chick-Fil-A started offering peach milkshakes. I got one and was in love. I’ve wanted one ever since.

When I got to Spanish Fork, the Arctic Circle by the freeway had big banners for peach shakes. Upon each driveby, I was tempted. When I decided to finally indulge, Arctic Circle was out of peaches for the day. The next time we went back, Rosie begged me for slushes at Sonic across the street instead. A few days later I was in Sandy and decided to go to the location there….but it’s now a Walgreens. The day after that, I went to the one in Murray…but it’s now a Beto’s. Two days ago, I went back to the location in Spanish Fork…only to find out that they stopped serving peach two days prior.

This goes along with my other luck I’ve had in the dessert department in Utah.

I’d been following a bakery in Provo called the Sweet Tooth Fairy on Twitter, and have wanted to try their delicious looking cupcakes. When Taylor visited last week and we were in Provo, I talked him into getting a treat. We pulled up to their store, only to find they were closed on Mondays. Haven’t had a chance to go back yet.

I went to McDonalds to get a caramel sundae, only to find out they no longer have caramel sundaes available.

I went to 7-Eleven on Free Slurpee day, only to find that they were out of 7.11 oz cups and we’d have to pay for our slurpee. At least they had my favorite flavor – pina colada.

But all is not lost…I DID find a bakery I adore called Flour Girls and Dough Boys in American Fork. My new friend Angie and I met with our kids for dessert last week. I am hooked on their orange cupcake with pomegranate filling and buttercream icing. And their coconut oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

Yum.

Summer Eats

This summer I have been totally hooked on popcicles! I eat 1-3 of them a day. I can’t get enough. I am partial to the Dreyer’s Creamy Coconut bar…but the Meadow Gold root beer float bar is a close second!

When neighbors say, “I’ve got zucchini coming out my ears,” I’m happy to take it off their hands.

I also love to eat fruit during the summer, but I haven’t been able to find any blueberries as good as the ones I had in Michigan last year. Hollie was kind enough to make a “I WANT FRUIT!” salad for me this week and sent me home with two containers of the leftovers. Yum!

I’ve only been twice this month, but the Cafe Rio pork barbacoa salad calls my name everytime I see a restaurant. My sister Mary is working for Cafe Rio and hooked me up with a coupon for a free Tres Leches cake. Bueno!

I LOVE Gary’s Original Caramel Corn balls, but Taylor gets mad when I even talk about buying them. Something having to do with TWO teeth requiring crowns from popcorn balls in the past. I did sneak one in on my roadtrip between Denver and Salt Lake City last month….but I eye them longingly everytime I see them at convenience stores.
