Fro Yo Part 2

I am blogging this out of order because this next place was actually the first place I went to.  My friend Jillian introduced me to this wonderful place and I have to say it is my favorite so far.  The frozen yogurt place? Sweet Toppings in Andover.

 
I met Jillian here after work a few weeks ago on a hot Saturday evening.  They had seating outside and a bucket of colorful chalk to decorate their patio.
 

Here is my contribution to the art on the patio.  Notice the heart... yeah, that is because I love this place!
 
 
Just looking at this picture makes me want to go back there right away to have some more! I chose pistachio and mango flavored frozen yogurt with fruit and shaved coconut toppings. So good!
We decided to finish our treat inside where I was attacked by a bug... but I won't hold it against the place.  They have board games you can play at your table and so we decided to play a round of Dominos.  Overall, this place was amazing and my favorite so far.
 
Stats:  Frozen Yogurt selection: good variety and delicious.  Toppings: lots of fruit choices, great.  Ambiance: so so, there was nothing too exciting about the decoration but the chalk, board games and kids movie playing inside made it super fun.  Overall: Spectacular

Breakfast

This morning for breakfast: Sweet quinoa.  Ingredients: quinoa, almond milk, brown sugar, cinnamon.  And sprinkled on top: ground flax seed, raspberries and blueberries.  The only unhealthy thing is the sugar of course, so maybe next time I will use honey to sweeten it. Isn't it pretty? Yummy!  This will definitely go into the rotation.

Breakfast

Eggs, cheese, cherry tomatoes and asparagus from the garden. And of course my chamomile tea with orange blossom honey from the farmers market.  I'm really starting to enjoy cooking. Breakfast isn't too difficult but it is a start and a step up from cereal.
