TeaLyfe - Sunnyvale, CA

 

🍗 Popcorn chicken with sriracha yuzu aioli
🍹 Strawberry horchata
🍹 Strawberry oat matcha

Happy Friday!!! TeaLyfe has Vietnamese x Mexican fusion snacks and drinks which I think is so cool 🤩 The sriracha yuzu aioli def made the basic popcorn chicken more fun! Both the strawberry horchata and strawberry oat matcha use fresh strawberries — really appreciated it because they were not too sweet (I thought the horchata would be too sweet for me but it was actually perfect 👌🏻). Also loved the combo of the strawberry matcha using oat milk because it was thicc and creamy.

I want to go back and try their vietchata, elote fries, and waffles 😱

Trader Joe’s Fall Charcuterie Board - Home

 

I made a charcuterie board for the first time and probably broke all the charcuterie board rules since I didn’t really know what I was doing!! But at least it ended up tasting good 😊

On the board:
🧀 Blueberry vanilla goat cheese (Trader Joe's)
🧀 Triple Cream Brie with Mushrooms (Trader Joe's)
🧀 Provolone
🧀 Grana Padano
🥓 Tempesta uncured black truffle salami
🥓 Uncured applewood smoked salami (Trader Joe's)
🍞 Pita bite crackers (Trader Joe's)
🍞 Fig & Olive crackers (Trader Joe's)

So glad that Trader Joe's has so many affordable ingredients for a delicious board 😋 Will definitely go back to try their other cheeses!

Spudsy Sweet Potato Puffs - Home

 

I was randomly craving Mac n cheese at midnight so I decided to make it the next day! Who knew that Spudsy Foods sweet potato puffs would be the perfect crunchy topping?

🍝 Mac n cheese topped with Spudsy sweet potato puffs

Over 150 million pounds of sweet potatoes are thrown away each year because they are “imperfect”! 🥺I am so glad that Spudsy does NOT judge and uses upcycled sweet potatoes to make sweet potato puffs! 🥔

They have a variety of flavors for every palette, available at your local Whole Foods :

💥 Bangin’ Bar-B-Q
🥖Cinnamon Churro
🧀 Vegan Cheesy Cheddar
🧅 Vegan Sour Cream & Onion

Spudsy is also on track to save 1,000,000 sweet potatoes by 2021! #SaveTheSpud How cool is that?! Thank you Spudsy for gifting me your puffs! 💖

Porto's Bakery and Cafe - Burbank, CA

 

So thankful for friends who drive Porto’s up from SoCal 😭

Guava cheese strudel: Guava jam + cream cheese in a flaky puff pastry — they go so well together! I’ve tried bakeries in NorCal that try to copy this but none compare to the OG!! 🤤

Wish Porto’s had a location closer to me but they do have their refugiados where they ship their unbaked, frozen pastries nationwide!

Myungrang Hot Dog - Cupertino, CA

 

Abs are great but have you had a korean rice dog?

🌭 Mozzarella & Sausage: this is my favorite combo! Half mozzarella for the cheese pull and half sausage because sausages are yummy. Can’t go wrong with this one!😋

🦑 Squid Ink: This is also a mozzarella & sausage combo but with a squid ink batter. I couldn’t taste the difference but it’s so cute with the little tail at the end! 🥺

Myungrang’s sticky rice flour batter is perfectly chewy. And say YES to sugar because this makes the hot dog!! 😋
