Picks and Pans

Hey everyone! I really do plan on coming back to the tumbler world some time soon. I have been taking a break due to LOVING my new job, but I miss writing on here! I can’t possibly fit in what I have been up to over the past 2 months so instead I am going to list some of my Picks and Pans from what I’ve been doing!

Picks:

Nailpolish - 

Essie STEEL-ing the Scene- It’s a really cool steely grey/green color 

Essie Lapis of Luxury - light bluish grey

Movies:

The Town- Ben Afflick is HOT and it’s based on a true story

Easy A - Saw it in the theater and loved it so much that I bought it on DVD!

Country Strong - I definitely will be downloading the soundtrack

Restaurants:

Zig Zag Kitchen - Amazing eclectic menu, try the tri-colored tortellini, it is delish!

Paula & Monica’s Pizza - located on Chicago and amazing little local pizza shop

Lula’s - Try this Logan Square rest. for brunch, the use local produce so they have a constantly changing menu

Shopping:

Pump - I am obsessed with this shoe store on Division Street in Wicker Park. They have the BEST selection of boots I have ever seen! And sometimes they have really great sales going on

Baking:

I found the ULTIMATE cupcake recipe! But you really need to include each specific ingredient to make them correctly.

1. Betty Crocker Triple Chocolate Fudge cake mix. This is no ordinary cake mix, this flavor blows all other chocolate flavors out of the water. I think they add a little bit of love and a little bit of crack into each box. It is to die for!

2. Add Giradelli (sp?) milk chocolate chips to the batter before baking. They sink to the bottom but stay soft and create an amazing cupcake crust

3. Duncan Hines cream cheese frosting, mixed with a little bit of cool whip.

Follow these steps and get ready to enjoy HEAVEN in cupcake form.

Pans:

I only have 1 bad review for you, and that is the movie Dinner For Schmucks. I had high hopes for this movie bc of the usually hilarious cast, but I can sum up this film in 3 works, Don’t rent it.
