[...] good cake for it to be worth the calories. Let me just say that the vanilla cake I enjoyed at The Chocolate in Provo this last weekend was definitely worth the [...]

Oh and our favorite place to eat in Provo is the Bombay house right on University Ave past campus. It is Indian food and we love it so much I can still taste it!!!

For a quick lunch out with my college kids we like Guru’s on 45 East Center in Provo. The food can best be described at eclectic, healthy, fresh Mexican and Thai. There is a steak and blue cheese tostada that is to die for. The fresh lemonade and limeade is great too.

Hurray for your sharing of food places!! My husband wants to go to a “ramen” place (he watches japanese cartoons and always wants to eat like them) for his birthday (next week) and now we’re going to go to Rooster!!
Of course today is my birthday, so I’ve got to decide if I want to go to The Cocoa Bean or The Chocolate!! We drove past The Chocolate on the way out to lunch and I was wondering if it would be good. Now I know.

The Rooster and that cupcake place were both on my radar big time, but now I have another one to add for my next trip to Provo! Thanks for the heads up!

Linda,

I have always had a high metabolism (resting heart rate about 80-90) but I have definitely noticed a difference the last few years. I recently went on a low glycemic 5 day reset to try to lose a few of the pounds I put on since blogging and curb my sugar cravings and it has really helped!! I lost 4 lbs. and my sugar cravings have greatly diminished. I didn’t do so well over the weekend though!!

Leigh Anne, with all of the great places you eat at frequently, how do you stay so thin!?! You must have a great metabolism! I never really had a problem until I hit 50, now I have to watch what I eat. My metabolism hit rock bottom!

Did you get anything good at Tai Pan? I’m ready for another trip there myself!

Boy, it sure is fun to see Provo through your eyes!
I was born and raised in Provo, so I think it seems same ol’ -same ol’ to me.
I just love seeing your pics of the trips you take out and about where you live!
I guess it’s a classic case of ‘the grass is always greener….” : )
Thanks for sharing all your fun with us.

I love hearing about new places to eat in Provo. I haven’t tried any of these places and didn’t even know about the cupcake cafe! Thanks for adding to my list of places to try!!

We live in St. George and I was just telling my husband that we needed to go to Salt Lake just to eat at a yummy place called, Biaggi’s. They have the best bread with a specialty oil dip-. And there is a cheese ravioli that is so yummy!! We don’t make it up there very often (twice in the 7 years we have lived here) but I will put your picks on my list for our next trip.

Any excuse to visit your kids…but for sure a dance performance rates! Congratulations to Cali! All the better because you were there to share it with her.

I DID enjoy peeking in on your trip to Provo! You always find the BEST food places! Congrats to Cali on her dance performance–I’m sure it was beautiful and will be a treasured memory!

Oh, I love The Chocolate. I drive past it at least once a day if not more. It is all I can do not to stop every time. Luckily it is closed when I take the kids to school. It is in Orem, not Provo which is why you probably couldn’t find the website. They opened the Orem store right after I started my diet, ugh! The Turtle Brownie is my favorite. Their website is http://www.thechocolatedc.com/
