Life fueled by food and travel.

Fav 5 Vancouver, BC, Canada {Travel Guide}

2/24/2018

Comments

 
Fav 5 is a series of travel guides in which I highlight 5 of the best spots I've found to eat, drink, and explore in a place while visiting. This time it's all about Vancouver, in British Columbia (BC) in Canada.

Vancouver is a Canadian city located in the province of British Columbia. It's just about 2.5 hours' drive time from Seattle, Washington, to Vancouver. I was shocked to learn that Vancouver is the 4th most densely populated city in North America after New York City, San Francisco, and Mexico City.

Daybreak Smoothie {Recipe}

2/14/2018

Comments

 
Breakfast is a struggle for me. I want coffee followed by more coffee. Food is good but I want a huge glass of water, maybe a smoothie and yes, more coffee. I’ll often take a banana to go and I can always eat peanut butter (or almond butter, cashew butter, etc).

This recipe idea came to me when a (hot) cappuccino I'd been drinking was left alone and turned cold. I threw it into the blender with these other breakfast items and now I give you the Daybreak Smoothie. Coffee is included and encouraged, although not necessary!

Honey-Roasted Peanut Butter Cookies {Recipe}

1/21/2018

Comments

 
Cookies are my favorite sweet treat. I love them all, Girl Scout cookies, grocery store cookies, and freshly baked cookies alike. I do not, however, love to bake. 

Over the years I've learned that I CAN bake, I just have to do a few things to prepare.
  • Remember that with baking you must follow all of the rules
  • Read the recipe in its entirety a few times before getting started
  • Measure out 100% of the ingredients before even turning on the oven

Fav 5 Disneyland {Travel Guide}

1/12/2018

Recent posts include Disney Parks basics and a travel guide for Disney's California Adventure Park. Today includes my favorite 5 things from Disneyland!

Disneyland. The first Disney park, the OG. Walt Disney even had an apartment in the park, just above the "Fire Department." t's the most classic, charming, and nostalgic of all of the parks, in my opinion. It is nestled in Anaheim, California and just next door to Disney's California Adventure.

Fav 5 Disney's California Adventure {Travel Guide}

12/21/2017

Comments

 
Recently I shared the basics of Disney Parks and today I'm giving you my five favorite things, aka Fav 5, from Disney's California Adventure Park (DCA) in Anaheim, California.

Disney's California Adventure is the younger of two Disney parks on the West Coast. The "other" park just next to Disneyland. California Adventure is ode to Cali with varying areas and time frames of the State's history featured throughout the park, plus all of the Disney and Pixar magic you'd expect from Disney.

There are seven "lands" in the park
  1. Cars Land (of the Cars movies)
  2. A Bug's Land (of A Bug's Life movie)
  3. Buena Vista Street
  4. Paradise Pier
  5. Grizzly Peak
  6. Pacific Wharf
  7. Hollywood Land.
