Scribbles about Food: Starbucks Food

Starbucks is one of my favorite places ever... and I've been eating food from Starbucks more and more and loving it more and more lately! So... I'm going to talk about what I've been getting recently and maybe some other old favorites.

I'll start out with the Breakfast sandwiches because that is what kind of started this obsession with Starbucks food. I usually get the Sausage Egg and Cheese... it is delicious. The sausage is a little bit spicy, the cheese is really cheesy... and there's also an egg... so that's a thing? Lol. It's on bread that is kind of like an English Muffin. I think the "Cheese" on this one is cheddar... and it's just really really good. They warm it up for you in the store itself... I don't usually go to the store- my mom picks it up for me... so I sometimes need to re- heat it by the time she gets home... they'll usually heat up food before you get your drinks... so if you're the one eating that that is awesome... but if you're bringing it to someone it is mildly inconvenient.

The Bacon and Gouda is the other one I've been eating... I don't like this one as much... but sometimes you just want cheese and bacon for breakfast and this is probably the healthiest way to do that... it's a little lower in calories... and it isn't quite as filling as the Sausage, Egg and Cheese... but it is still really yummy and good. I like the bread that this comes with a lot. My dog likes when I get this also because I share my bacon. Lol... I might get this tomorrow.

Another favorite thing of mine is the cute little cookies that they have... usually they change them seasonally. Right now they are octopus cookies. They're kind of just like shortbread cookies with some icing on top... to be honest I used to get these all the time in college and I didn't love them... but I loved taking pictures of them on Instagram and they were just really cute and I liked them for that... and now I actually really love the taste and I still love taking pictures of them for Instagram. It's a really good and cute cookie.

The most underrated thing on the menu is probably the Peanut Butter Cookie... this is pretty amazing... It's not the easiest to find Peanut Butter Cookies... these are amazing! I haven't tried it warmed up yet because it was a hot day when I got it... pretty sure you can get it warmed up and it is really good.

The cookie straws for the frappuccinos are pretty amazing. I haven't had it with the Mint Frap- only the S'mores which is what it was made for... but it could probably go with any frap... these are tasty. And if you're getting a frappuccino... why not get this! It's just really yummy.

I used to always like the yogurt parfait's too. I got these a lot when I was in college... usually it was to kind of hold me over when I had 2 late classes back to back and didn't really have time for dinner beforehand... sometimes for breakfast. I think my favorite was the honey one... they didn't always have that... but it's good.

Their crossoints are good too. The almond crossoint is really tasty and almond-y. That's another flavor that is kind of hard to find... and it's one of my favorites... I don't really order this often... but maybe I will soon.

The little snack pack things they have are pretty good too... I haven't had them in years and I don't remember what I liked...but they're pretty yummy.

I'm not the biggest fan of their Panini's... I think it's just because when I went to college I lived near a better Panini place that had the same hours as Starbucks... so it was hard to kind of eat a starbucks panini when those were so good... ugh I miss them. I don't even know if that place makes them anymore... ugh. So good... so sad it isn't the same place still... but anyway yeah... their panini's aren't my favorite thing. The Santa Fe one is okay... the Tomato Mozzerella one is not my favorite.

I also like the brownies... especially heated up... they are amazing... every now and then you just want a brownie and these are a really good little treat. I wouldn't recommend getting them with the Salted Caramel Mocha because that is just too much... and if you have that with the salted caramel and then a brownie or a salted caramel brownie with that... you may want to throw up... especially if you're running from one class to another class.

So yeah... this has been kind of a trip down memory lane because I ate a lot of Starbucks in college lol. It was easy and yummy.

Byeee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...
