sorbet inside of fruit shell

I had the orange sorbet inside of the frozen orange on Venice Beach yesterday - mostly for the novelty. They're so cute - and they're all made in Redondo at Gelati Celesti.

I love having an iPhone. I got my Rabito case I wanted, emojis and Instagram, and I feel like I'm finally getting up to speed tech-wise! I'm loving Instagram:

Mint Pink Lemonade

The bakery next to where I work, along with Lemonade on the corner of the street I work, both sell a mint lemonade that is soo satisfying. I decided to just infuse fresh mint leaves into my pitcher of pink lemonade at home. Voila! Delicious and cute! I think if I boiled them in, it may be a stronger taste, but this is good enough!

Nutella Hot Chocolate

Found this gem on Pinterest from Audrina's Vanity.

It is delicious. I'm just sad to see so much nutella go for one hot chocolate... I wonder if it'd be just as good with chocolate syrup?

Breakfast Stuffed Portobellos

I'm loving all the recipes I'm finding on Pinterest! This recipe was great, I had to cook it a little longer, on a higher setting in the oven than it said, and I also added fresh parmesan cheese! Suuuper good!

 (from What's Cooking Mexico?)

Tortellini Soup w/ Balsamic Caramelized Onions & Mushrooms

I found this recipe from Cookin' CANUCK, which I found from Pinterest! First of all the recipe was beyond easy, and came out great! I just half-ed it for Nicky and I. Second, Pinterest is turning into an obsession! More than Tumblr! I'm slowly being able to get rid of all the inspiration folders all over my desktop! What a relief, and so many new great ideas to discover! I added a tab on the side of my (this) blog to link to my personal Pinterest boards!

Birthday Cakes

I keep seeing really delicious cakes pictured in ads from the local Mexican and Japanese markets! My birthday is this month so I could get one of those from a local market, or try my hand at one of these:
