Strawberry, Chocolate, Vanilla

Sweet strawberry. Swinging on the playground at Grandmas.


Warm rich chocolate. Sunshine on blades of crayon colored green grass.


Comforting vanilla. Making forts and code names to enter our morning glory playhouse.

All little sweet nothings that came to mind while I ate this Neapolitan ice cream bar that Turtle Mountain makes from coconut milk. I was taken back to my ice cream loving days when my Papa would gather all us kids around his extra freezer in the hot garage after a seemingly forever, one hour, on their playground. We each would say our favorites, as if he didn't already know, and he would artistically pull each special treat out. Mine was always either an all chocolate bar with vanilla ice cream on a stick or this little lady, an Neapolitan ice cream bar. Ohh the good old days! I just loved the way my teeth would bite and all the pretty colors would show. These ones were ten times better than my childhood favorite, much richer from the coconut, less over powering sweet from the agave and the perfect amount of each flavor. I love them!

I also picked up these little darling treats - chocolate and coconut..how can you go wrong? My take on them...amazing! Just simple enough to bring the end to any wonderful dinner. I like to cut them into cubes, make a huge mount of them and drizzle more chocolate on top with coconut flakes..its so wrong but so right!

Currently I am roasting rosemary brussel sprouts for dinner every night, snuggling with my kitten in front of the fire while watching Betty Davis black and white films, wearing pumps with bows for all my girly going outs and spending way too much time planning my trip to Ireland.

Tell me your childhood treat?
