With summer coming to an end, I wanted to share what I have been up to recently.


Restaurants:

  1. Baggins: I miss having Baggins across the street from my office. It was such a convenient lunch spot!I decided to stray from my typical sandwich one day and ordered the Sundown, which is basically Thanksgiving dinner in sandwich form. It was delicious! Will definitely order again.

  2. Cruze Ice Cream: Sadly this is not in Tucson. When I was visiting my Grandma in Knoxville, TN we stopped by this local ice cream shop. It's owned by a local dairy. I guess they have a pizza place too. Judging by the quality of their ice cream, I am just the pizza is just as amazing. Cruze Ice Cream serves up some incredicale soft serve. They have several different flavors. I tried the strawberry and it was so good!

  3. Berry Salads: This place recently opened up at Park Place mall. I am happy to have a salad place nearby. It is similar to Choice Greens. The salads are huge!

  4. American Eat Company: Such a cool place! It reminds me of Liberty Public Market in San Diego. I am so happy this place is near my new office. My team went here for lunch one day. It's a food court so everyone was able to choose what they wanted. They have Greek, Mexican, Pizza, Barbeque, Smoothies, Ice Cream, Coffee and I am sure other places that I cannot remember. I had Greek and it was great. I want to try the smoothie place.

  5. Trident Grill: I tried this place for the first time last weekend and now I can't wait to go back and try everything else on their menu! I had the pesto chicken sandwich with sweet potato fried. The sweet potato fries were amazing! I believe there are four locations.

  6. Arizona Pizza Company: I had been wanting to go here for a while and finally did last night! I had the white pizza and it was really good! I will definitely go back.

Snacks:

  1. Lemon RX Bar. This is definitely my favorite RX Bar now. I keep at box at work for when I need my afternoon snack.

Movies:

  1. Secret Obsession on Netflix: This movie was pretty good! It's pretty surprising.

Books:

  1. Cottage by the Sea: I really enjoyed this book!

  2. Wicked Saints: I read this one on vacation and I cannot wait for the next book!

Podcasts:

  1. What We Said: This is cute! It's two girls who are best friends. I've been listening to it on the way to work.

TV Shows:

  1. Light as Feather on Hulu: This show was surprisingly dark. It was pretty creepy at times, but I enjoyed it.

  2. Four Weddings and a Funeral: This is a new show on Hulu. It's good so far!

  3. Sinner: The second season is up on Netflix. I didn't like it as much as the first, but it was still good. I felt like watching the first season you were figuring out more and learning more. The second season gave away more in the beginning and you don't learn as much about the backstory as I wish you did.

Have a good week!
