Taking a Break. Having a Kit Kat.

Kidding.

About the Kit Kat. (None for me right now; I’m waiting for Halloween to get my sugar rush.)

However, I am taking a short break.

September is here, which means the workload is going to pick up again. The first week back is always exhausting because I’m not used to my daily routine. Summer was amazing – I slept in everyday, went to bed late, had lots of free time to blog, spent time with family and friends, went to Jasper… the list goes on. Unfortunately, all of that has to end. I’ll have to sleep early tonight so that I can wake up at six tomorrow and get out the door in the next half an hour. I’m not a morning person. Never will be. Something tells me that tomorrow morning is going to be fun…

I will not be posting daily anymore; hopefully, I will have enough content for a weekly post though. I look forward to sharing my food photography and recipes with all of you when I get back!

What Did the Cantaloupe Say to the Watermelon?

Watermelon: Let’s run away and get married!
Cantaloupe: I’m sorry, but I cantaloupe.

Haha, get it? 😉
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Bear With Me

If you recall, I went on a mini-vacation last week, and I promised to post some pictures.

I ended up taking over 300 photos in a span of three days, which roughly equals 100 photos per day. It was a pain in the butt editing and adding captions for all of them, which is why I did not post any pictures last week. I also had trouble selecting which pictures to post; trust me, if I could, I would post all of them!

In the end, I decided on these photos:I have been to Jasper numerous times, but it was my first time seeing bears; needless to say, I was very excited! (The pictures are kind of blurry because my hand was shaky and my car was parked at a distance. Bear with me! 😉 )

If you haven’t been to Jasper, you need to go some time! It’s gorgeous. It’s breathtakingly beautiful. It’s perfect.❤ Jessica

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwich

I haven’t posted in a while.

Three days to be exact.

I know, I know…

If you guys are wondering where I’ve been… the answer is Jasper! My family and I have been there many times before, and we love everything it has to offer – the wildlife, scenery, tours and excursions. Believe me, it was a much-needed mini vacation after going through the busy month of June. I will be posting some of the many pictures I took throughout this week, so keep your eyes peeled!

Okay… movin’ on! The weather has been extremely hot recently, which means I have been surviving off of salads, sashimi, watermelon, popsicles, ice cream, and ice cream sandwiches. I picked up some oatmeal chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches last week, and I kinda just forgot about them. That is, until today.

I’m not a big fan of oatmeal cookies, even if they contain a crazy amount of chocolate chips; however, I am a firm believer that everything tastes better in ice cream form. Nine times out of ten, I’m right; unfortunately, this time I was wrong.

First off, I just want to say that these ice cream sandwiches taste nothing like an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. The wafers taste like concentrated graham crackers and completely overpower the vanilla ice cream. There was nothing spectacular about the vanilla ice cream, and the bits of chocolate in it were lame. They need to add around three times more of chocolate in order for it to even be noticeable. Overall, I’d rate this 2 stars out of 5.

Have you tried Lucerne’s new Oatmeal Chocolate Chip ice cream sandwich?

P.S. Happy Canada Day to all of my Canadian followers!
