Kansas City Restaurant Week 2022

Another restaurant week has come and gone. This year only two restaurants impressed me: Story and Corvino. Both have 5 star food, 5 star service, and 4 star ambiance!

My Favourite Cereals

Here's my personal ranking of American/USA Cereals:

1. Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds - crunchy, sweet, and great textures
   
2. Honey Nut Cheerios - nostalgic, sweet, and crunchy
3. Cheerios Cinnamon Oat Crunch Breakfast Cereal - sweet, crunchy and the cinnamon reminds me of fall and winter.
4. Reese's Puffs - peanut butter and chocolate is one of my fave flavour combos!  For a cheaper version, mix Cap'n Crunch's Peanut Butter Crunch with Cocoa Puffs
   
5. Lucky Charms - even better if it's limited edition unicorn marshmallows!
   
6. Frosted Flakes - real sweet and crunchy! Mix with Corn Flakes for less sugar in your serving
   

I'm not loyal to any cereal brands, so I've also ate the generic/off-brand varieties and they're not awful!

I don't have a favorite milk, because I don't have food allergies or dietary restrictions. I usually buy skim milk, almond, soy, or oat depending on my mood or what's on sale!

BTW, I dislike fake fruit flavoring in my foods, and my cereal preferences reflect this disdain.

TTYL!

Where I left off...

Can you believe how time has flown... 

it's already been a year since I last posted! 

A lot has changed, including my skin regime (thanks to my sister!), and time at university. 

I'm already a third year, embarking on a Dallas, TX internship this summer, but I want to share all our adventures before the next one!

After Hawaii, we wanted to continue the warm weather & beach trend, so we took a cruise down to Mexico.

Breakfast Champs

These are my current fave breakfast foods!!

I use the Soymilk (Kroger/Dillon's) and Speculoos Cookie Butter (Trader Joe's) to give my oatmeal more flavor and crunch.

This Starbucks iced coffee saves me money and time.  I <3 iced coffees!

Sat-all-day

So the post title's not entirely true, I stood for a good two-hours while volunteering and hunted around the mall to find exactly what I wanted to gift my mum, but..

I've pretty much sat all day Saturday.

I'm CONVINCED that this 54¢ bracelet's handmade w/ copper, if you held it you would too! And I managed to catch a glimpse of the most beautiful, French-style silver-plated candelabra that a friend bought; 'twas a thrift score day!

Planning on running later so Olive Garden won't kill me.

But for now.. Snapple Peach Tea and mini pizza style crackers fo' snack; nomnom.
