So obviously the best thing about being back with my boys was this –

But we also had a ton of fun out of the house too!  This weekend Adam and I ran a thousand errands / saw Knives Out / met up with friends for dinner in Astoria / walked around Cold Springs Harbor appreciating their holiday decorations and Christmas carolers!

Edible highlights included…

Shakeratos with fancy coffee.  I just now writing this post realized that I make these with coffee + sweetened condensed milk and half and half versus SCM and simple syrup but they still turn out great.

During our Cold Springs Harbor morning we stopped at Sweetie Pies on Main for a quad nonfat iced latte and a rainbow cookie cake.  Every single pastry in this shop looks next level.

A yogurt bowl with Trader Joe’s egg nog Greek yogurt, vanilla spiced sunflower seed butter, and giant blueberries.

S’mores cookie from Chip.  FYI – these are very graham cracker forward, I much prefer their other flavors.

Sweetened condensed milk and cookies ice cream from Spot (an H-Mart find!).

We stupidly went to Target at dinner time but these impulse buy chocolate covered cashews ended up being amazing.

Between the four of us during dinner at District Saigon we tried and loved a lot of the drink menu but I think the clear winner was this spiked Thai iced tea made with cachaça, absinthe, Angostura bitters, sweetened condensed milk, and egg whites.

Frozen meal I am in love with = Amy’s chile relleno casserole bowl.  Paired with leftover chicken nachos.
