An Ode to Ice Cream

Happy National Ice Cream Day!!!

I think I have eaten this amazing, creamy creation everyday for the past 10 years of my life. Not even kidding. I have an ice cream ADDICTION and I don't care who knows it. So, needless to say, there is a special place in my heart for this glorious holiday.

I thought we could celebrate by recaping some of my favorite ice cream experiences!

So insanely good.

The Cheesecake Fantasy Sundae at Dylan's Candy Bar in NYC. 

Oh dear heavens, this was good.

Clearly.

If you haven't ever had cheesecake with ice cream on top, you are SERIOUSLY missing out on a true culinary experience. 

Taste bud overload.

Ice cream with Gigi's Cupcakes! 

Helloooo rapid heart beats.

Mmmhmmm.

Cookies and cream ice cream with homemade red velvet cupcakes! 

Love me some red velvet.

Heaven.

Ice cream with our traditional RJ Goodies birthday cake! 

You don't know birthday cake until you have RJ's. 

Hands down, the best cake ever.

Blood orange ice cream with the Red Velvet Layer Cake from Tillman's Roadhouse in Dallas, TX.

Licked this plate clean.

Not to mention, this comes with a TOY to commemorate the experience. 

How thoughtful, Mr. Tillman.

Yes, I threw my puppy a birthday party. Don't judge...it was way fun. We wore hats.

Need I say more? 

Chomp.

Surprise Frosty's from sweet co-workers at work! Greatness.

Oooey gooey melty bliss.

Sneaky sweetness.

Ice cream topped with every topping in the pantry. 

Score.

My discovery of Chocolate Peanut Butter Creme Oreos...then putting them on...ice cream.

Winning.

Ice cream topped with my FAVORITE topping in the whole wide world...SPRINKLES!

Oh how I love those colorful little gems.

Last, but not least, is the Mexican Vanilla at Amy's Ice Cream.

I don't know what Amy puts in her ice cream, but I dream about this stuff.

I think if we ever met, we would become the best of friends :)

HAPPY NATIONAL ICE CREAM DAY! Now go getcha some!
