Denver Visit - Little Man Ice Cream

How cute is this shop?  

 

During my visit to Denver, E and I made sure to hit up Little Man Ice Cream twice - it was so good!

The first ice cream I tried was Banana Pudding - it was rich and creamy, and they definitely got the tastes of a real pudding right. 

However, my favorite bite has to be the Salted Oreo - this was so good! I love Oreos and cookies and cream ice cream to begin with, and adding just the right amount of salt to this really elevated the flavors.  I definitely want to try to replicate this flavor this summer in my ice cream maker!

Denver Visit - Brunch at Snooze

Back in March I had a lovely visit to Denver, to see my friend E.  It was my first real visit to Denver (being in a building for a few days for work does not count, haha), so I was excited to check out the city!

One of the highlights of my trip was brunch at Snooze.  As soon as E told me about the different types of pancakes, I was all in!  Then, to make things better, they offer a Pancake Flight, where you choose three of their pancakes- what a great way to try out their pancake selection!

Here's my Pancake Flight, from left to right: Sweet Potato Pancake, Strawberry Nutella (Pancake of the Day), and the Red-Eye Velvet Pancake!

My favorite was (unsurprisingly) the Red-Eye Velvet one, but they were all great!  I found the other two to be tasty, but I felt like there was too much syrup already soaked into the pancakes (v. soggy) - whereas the Red-Eye Velvet still maintained some texture in the actual pancake.  This is definitely a perfect plate for people who love sweets, haha.  I wish more places had fun menu items like Snooze, this was such a fun way to start the day!
