The Yonutz grand opening was so fun! I was glad I could try it out their donut smash and shake, there were loads of creative flavors to choose from. Ultimately, though, it was a bit sweet for me overall. If only I was a kid again, this would be heaven!

Just me?

Magical theater experience at Tuacahn. Such a fun way to end the summer. ✨ What are your favorite productions? Most recommended place to see them? #utah #collegelife #theater #tuacahn

Someone suggested we check out @tamscreampuffs, and we were not disappointed. The whole storefront smells incredible. The puffs are the cutest things I’ve ever seen. AND it was all delicious. The Hawaiian flavor was my favorite, but Kath and Justin were crazy about the ube one. Definitely give them a try and let us know what you think! #utah #utahfoodie #collegelife #uvu #byu #creampuffs #provo #orem #foodie #yum

The churro dulce cruffin at Fillings and Emulsions in Provo definitely earned a figurative Hollywood Handshake from me, and we think it will from you too! It’s delicate, laminated, crispy, buttery, filled with delicious dulce de leche, and surrounded with cinnamon sugar!! 😭😮Are you curious? —Justin
