I took the actual cupcakes out of the wrappers once they were done, and placed them all on a giant pink plate. These pics don’t do them justice what-so-everrrr, they really were quite delicious, and did not look this messy in person, I hope? Maybe they did oh well. Anyway, a fun, easy idea for any Hello Kitty fan out there whether 8 or 28! She loved them so it was a job well done

Things I used:

* Duncan Hines Red Velvet cake mix. Makes 24 cupcakes and available at most grocery stores.

* Pillsbury Funfetti Vanilla frosting, available at most grocery stores.

* Hot pink sprinkles, available at most grocery stores.

* Hello Kitty edible cupcake toppers. Available at Party City or online here.

Making them was pretty easy. Bake the cupcakes and let them cool for about one hour… Too hard to frost them hot. Begin to frost the cupcakes after they’re cool. I used a left over Yogurtland spoon so the frosting was nice and smooth. I also let the frosting get a little bit hot, you can even microwave it for 10 seconds to ensure it’s smooth

After frosting, I immediately covered the freshly frosted cupcakes entirely with hot pink sprinkles and plopped the giant kitty head in the middle. I only bought 1 pack so I only decorated 1/2 of them ;/ After all that I took the cupcake wrappers off to make them look like mini cakes! Also saves other people the hassle of the wrapper.

Cute, easy and delicious! Happy Birfday Megs xoxo

“Basically you pick a yogurt or oatmeal flavor and add the toppings you want.” she said. Your delicious choices are: Blackberry Cobbler, Apple Pie, Banana Brown Betty, Banana Peanut Butter Crunch, Bananas Foster, Peaches n’ Cream or Strawberries n’ Cream. Yogurt and oatmeal concoctions can also be individually crafted with countless dried fruit, granola, fresh fruit, candy and nut toppings.

I initially wanted banana but they were out so I of course was fat and got the Apple Pie one. So much for my healthy snack? After I went to www.coffeebean.com to learn about the calories of the oatmeals and they conveniently didn’t have it available. I hope it’s not worse than I think :/

Overall the oatmeal was super tasty and seems pretty healthy if you get it with a simple fruit like banana. The apple pie was almost like a dessert, a bit too sweet. Next time I would ask for less sugary topping or just hope for bananas being in stock. Definitely a must try for all though.

Jamba Juice has 3 delicious flavors of oatmeal to choose from… apple-cinnamon, blueberry-blackberry, or banana, all topped with a ehhh not so healthy brown sugar crumble. I eat it anyway, too good not to. My favorite is for sure the banana.

Although the calorie and sugar count isn’t anything to write home about, it’s not too bad for an entire breakfast. Besides you can leave off the brown sugar if you want to reduce the sugar intake. Overall an easy, but healthy start to your morning for those of us who always seem to be in a rush

Areeee you kidding me with this sandwich? Can I even call it a sandwich considering there is no bread, instead 324 meat patties… one on top of another? YUCK. If you haven’t seen this disgusting sandwich yet, here it is. The newest treat KFC has to offer, the Double Down. What exactly does this sandwich consist of? Two deep fried chicken patties which serve as buns, two pieces of bacon and two melted slices of cheese all slathered in mayonnaise. Barf. What’s even worse? KFC has sold over 10 milllllllllion of these in just ONE month! They were only supposed to have the sandwich on their menu until Sunday, but hey, ten million of you fatties bought em so why stop selling them now!? I mean really? Deep friend chicken in mayo bacon and American cheese? That’s like my worst nightmare. Glad they claim it’s “low carb” did they forget there are massive amounts of carbs, sodium, fat and calories in this thing?

I bet you’re wondering just exactly how many calories something like this actually contains? Well, KFC claims online that the sandwich has only 540 calories and 32 grams of fat but yyyyyeah right! It’s been reported that it actually has about 1,228 calories and I wouldn’t be surprised if it had more. 1,288 calories? That is practically my daily intake. And people wonder why they’re fat. If you eat pure greasy fried fat? You’re gonna be fat.

I feel like this sandwich is the Snuggie of sandwiches. People buy it just because it’s so absurd and laughable, they try it just to say they did. Anyway, can’t wait to hear about all you sickos who’ve tried this thing, no holding back on me now!

Not gonna lie, when I first pulled up to the Peppermill Restaurant on Las Vegas Blvd. I was a bit skeptical. The outside is not the most inviting, however what is inside totally makes up for it They say never judge a book by it’s cover and that’s totally the case when it comes to the Peppermill.

As soon as you enter the Peppermill you’ll notice it has a Denny’s/diner vibe to it however it’s sooo much better than any crappy Denny’s. The entire place is lit up with neon pink and purple lights and the lamps above every table? PINK Flamingos! I loveeee flamingos and neon pink lights, I was instantly soooo excited. I l-l-loveeee unique restaurants!

Ok, so if you ever make it here you HAVE to get the fruit appetizer. I get it as a meal because yea, it’s that big. I was the happiest girl alive when it came to the table. It came with a delicious banana bread loaf, accompanied with marshmallow sauce, which was a meal itself. Whoever invented the banana bread/marshmallow combo is a genius Soooo good.

The actual fruit plate is huge, 4 people could easily share it. It comes with an entire pineapple, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, bananas, kiwis, strawberries, grapes, oranges and my favorite watermelon… then they kick it up yet another level and top it off with rainbow sherbet. Ahhh it really is the yummiest $14.50 you could spend.

The rest of the menu doesn’t disappoint either. I was so full from my fruit bowl I had to take my salad home. They have super yummy chicken salads, and I am very picky about my chicken, has to be nice, white and clean They have so many delicious options and the best part is they’re open 24 hours! They also serve booze 24 hours a day and are known for having a super cool and cozy fireside lounge to sip your cocktails by.

The menu is mostly American… Omelets, sandwiches, salads, burgers, wraps, sundaes, etc… total diner menu, but all the food is fresh and surprisingly great quality! Good job yelp, Peppermill really is the best fruit bowl I have had in town so far and a cool low key hangout to hit up when you’re sick of the casinos. So next time you’re in Vegas and craving a tasty snack or drink at 6am, hit up Peppermill on Las Vegas Blvd. you won’t be sorry Peppermill is located between the Stardust and Riviera Hotels.

We initially wanted to try out the SW Steakhouse but due to Cinco De Mayo madness they were booked, good thing because next up was Botero. Botero overlooks the XS Nightclub and pool area at Encore so you can eat either a Summery poolside lunch or an indoor dinner. The interior is circular, similar to the layout of XS. Picture giant pillars covered in white, diamond-quilted leather, and as the restaurant centerpiece? A gigantic glossy, black seated lady sculpture inspired by Colombian Artist Fernando Botero. Overall, Botero has a super modern yet fun ambiance suitable for all ages and personalities Now onto the yummy part, the food… I have never been so indecisive when ordering before, the menu was amazing! Veggies, chicken, fish, mac and cheese, how could I ever choose? I decided not to be totally fat and started off with their parmesan, asparagus, pistachio salad which was great. Oh wait then we ordered the mushroom ravioli so I suppose I wasn’t all that healthy ;/ The ravioli were delicious, small portion but delicious, wasn’t too mushroomy at all. Great appetizer to share.

For the main course we shared the Halibut. I didn’t want to over eat so we ordered a bunch of sides and split the halibut. The halibut comes poached but that sounded weird so we ordered it blackened. The chef had no problem preparing it that way for us which was nice. Accommodating staff? How odd? I definitely recommend the halibut blackened, it was soooo delicious. A bit spicy but cooked to perfection. Best halibut I have had in years, maybe even forever?

For sides we ordered broccoli which had chopped garlic and tomato pieces mixed in, and also the jalapeno carrots. Those were a bit soft, but amazing flavor. I love spicy food! Everything was so so good. Curious about who is behind the food? Botero is run by Chef Mark LoRusso, formerly of Wynn Las Vegas’ Tableau.

Cocktail wise I decided to order a margarita because after all, it was Cinco de Mayo. I didn’t think it would be good considering we were at a fancy steakhouse, but it was delicious! I tweeted to Wynn about loving Botero and they replied back that I had to try the Seated Lady cocktail, one of their signature champagne cocktails. Now I’ll have to go back just to try it out, sounds delish!

Botero definitely is a place to go for any occasion, a date, girls night out, poolside lunch… some of the best food ever, amazing decor, great staff, and delicious cocktails, what more could you need?

I mentioned in a post earlier this week eating at a restaurant called Boa in Hollywood, but I didn’t talk about anything other than seeing Avril Lavigne and Brody Jenner on a date, soooo I wanted to tell you guys more about this place because it is a great restaurant to visit for a special event, date or even just a yummy dinner if you’re local.

Cathleen, Arika & I celebrating @ Boa on Sunset

BOA Steakhouse is a contemporary American steakhouse. Think steaks, seafood, veggies, a little something for everyone, with an award winning wine list. Boa Steakhouse has a few locations, Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood, Santa Monica & Las Vegas (Inside Caesar’s Palace Forum Shops). We decided to go with the Hollywood location just because it seemed like the most fun place to celebrate a birthday.

As soon as you pull up to Boa on Sunset you get the LA vibe. Valet is waiting to park your car, there are a few lingering paparazzi, and everyone is dressed to impress. The venue alone is really unique with a high energy. The entire inside is decorated as if you are outside, lots of branches and trees. The area we sat in also had a removable ceiling so even though we were indoors, we could feel the outside air seeping through. Don’t worry though, if you get too chilly they have super warm heaters you can turn off and on throughout the night.

We started off with the Goat Cheese Baklava, who would have guessed that I would actually like it. Yum! It was pretty small though so order a few if you have more than two people. Then for dinner I had the Sea Bass. It was ok, not amazing, not bad. I wish I had ordered the Summer Pasta that the others got, it was sooo yummy.

The other menu items I tried and loved were the broccoli, asparagus, and salmon.

I also really liked their infused vodka. They make their own with watermelon and pineapple mixed. It was pretty strong though, so I added a splash of Sprite. Overall a super fun venue to dress cute at and celebrate a special event at. Chances you see a celebrity are high, you can take cute pictures, and eat a delicious meal all in one stop. Next date night in LA, try out Boa!

Also, if you are interested, the top I am wearing is actually a dress from lulus.com. I initially had it on as a dress however it was a bit chilly out so I paired it up with my rushed leggings and a belt as a top. Super cute piece to own because it can be worn as a dress or top!

Mine is a size Medium, and the dress comes in light pink, white or black. Hot pink is sold out

I guess I am just an excessive eater, all my posts are food related it seems? I have been in Vegas all week so eating has definitely been a huge part of the week. Great, bye bye skinny jeans. Anyway, I have a new favorite sushi restaurant for you to try if you are in Vegas. Inside Caesars Palace there is a sushi restaurant called Roku Sushi and it is delicious! I would suggest making a reservation though because it isn’t that big and can fill up, especially on weekends.

If you really want a good seat, reserve a view of the strip if you can. Half of the restaurant overlooks the strip which makes for a super fun date spot. My favorite part of the meal was the Champagne cocktail. YUM! I love any place that has specialty cocktails that are unique. For dinner I ordered a veggie roll, cucumbers, avocado and asparagus with soy paper. Was pretty yummy but not that filling, the rolls could be a bit bigger, or maybe I’m just fat and they’re a good size?

I also got veggie tempura which was good as well. They also have a Miso Eggplant, which sounds repulsive but was actually tasty, bits of eggplant cooked in miso soup, pretty yum. Like I said, the cocktail was my favorite, but the sushi was great too for all you sushi fans. By far the best sushi I have found in Vegas so far. There was also a bachelorette party there when we ate, so it is def. a fun place to bring a big group, however they were loud and annoying ;P

Have a favorite restaurant in Vegas? I wanna hear! Big fat fatty, I wanna hit up all the best places

The decor of the place is super fun and colorful, the place is hugeeee and is def something different and interesting to see. Picture sparkly blue, tile pillars throughout the restaurant, and tons of unique lamps covering the walls.  They even have cabana style tables in the front you can reserve, all are dimly lit with purple lights, would make a fun date spot ferrr shure.

Their chicken tortilla soup is probably the best soup I have ever evvvvver had. Big chunks of white chicken, huge avocado bits, mexican cheese squares and tortilla strips on top. I am sure it’s not healthy one percent buttttt it was totally worth the calories. I also ordered the chips and guacamole, they have it so you can customize your guac… mild, medium or spicy. We of course went for spicy, however it was far from spicy, just in case you are anti spice like BFF Linds. The chips also come with three different salsas, one being habanaro, so I just dumped some of that in the guac to spice it up

Their margaritas are delicious also. I got the Dos Camino, their house margarita, and after just a few sips felt tipsy. I got it with easy sweet and sour, extra lime to try and healthy it up as much as I could Def a good margarita though, well made.

I left fatter, veryyyy full and verrrryyy happy. Definitely will be back many more times, for sure an amazing place for a dinner party or date!
