friday // i'm in love


you know the feeling - you've logged a 40+ hour work week and its friday night and all you want is some relaxation and good food - maybe even a little dessert. Enter our most favorite date: dinner and dessert in Seattle's University District. 

First, we start with some fresh ginger lemonade and good raw eats at Chaco Canyon - this place is casual yet intimate, and the summertime specials proved delightful.
pete gets the green curry bowl every time! its so delicious he can't stray...
i am a little more adventurous because everything i've ever ordered is always fabulous, i know anything is a sure-fire win. This time I opted for raw falafel collard green wrap with cashew cheese and watermelon slices - it was divine.

No trip to the U-District is complete without a trip inside Red Light Vintage, always full of amazing treasures...i scored a vintage frock and pete got a tshirt.

Onto dessert! We usually go with a great soy-yogurt place but decided to try Full Tilt - with both dairy and vegan ice cream options, this sweet little shoppe hit the spot.

I got the special Mayan Chocolate with walnuts - spicy, creamy, and totally dairy free :)

Pete went hardcore and classic with cookies and cream, sprinkles, in a fresh waffle cone.

sweet and colorful.......totally the most perfect friday night.

This is what I'm talking about! Love falafel, curry and some icecream...not all at the same time, but you know. ;)

Have a great weekend!!

Looks like a great date night - I can't wait till the weather gets warmer again so we can venture out on date night at the moment I just want to hibernate when I am not working!

Those places look pretty good! I never really made that far on 50th when I went to UW, so it looks like I've been missing out!
