{lust list} zoku quick pop maker...

Ever since I laid my eyes on this Zoku popsicle maker, I think I fell in love. With summer just around the corner, dreams of icy treats whirled and swirled around my head. I fantasize about the juicy fruits and flavors I could concoct in one bar-sized chunk of delight. And to think...those chilled sweets could be all mine in just seven minutes?!? This sucker {no pun intended} is going on my list for sure.

{lust list}: enjoy cupcakes in los olivos

Located in Central California, Enjoy Cupcakes is inspired by local produce, flavors, and wines. With flavors like  Chocolate Blackberry Syrah,  Pomegranate Meyer Lemon Chardonnay, Chocolate Salted Pudding, Chocolate Boston Creme Pie, and a retro cupcake trailer...how could this not be on my Lust List?

{mix & match}: the doughnut burger

I love exposing my dear readers to new and unexpected foods. So over here at Happy Lady, we're whipping up a new series called Mix & Match where we'll share some of our favorite unexpected {yet delicious} food pairings with you. Most of the time, they'll be made or tasted-tested here in the kitchen and then shared with you virtually. But today, I wanted to introduce a combo I haven't yet had the pleasure of trying...the doughnut burger! Also known as the Luther Burger, this amazingly indulgent treat combines all the insides of a traditional burger sandwiched in the middle of a glazed doughnut. It may be a heart attack on a plate, but it sure does look good...

{lust list} milk in los angeles

While I normally post about places I have actually been to, there are certainly plenty of foods and restaurants I haven't yet tried but am dying to try. Just like that handbag you want but really don't need, I've got plenty of food spots on my lust list.

Milk in Los Angeles may seem like your average modern eatery. But lo and behold, they've got a sweet side that will make any sugar-centric glutton drool. French macaron ice cream sandwiches, ridiculous milkshakes, and baked goods aplenty. Milk, watch out, I'm coming for you...
