One of our recent lunch adventures landed us at Guzzi's in Salt Lake. My parents are always so sweet to come down and meet for lunch and they're always up for something new (don't get me wrong we have our favorites!). This time we tried Guzzi's, as it came highly recommended in the burger department. I tried their veggie burger which was indeed delicious, but shared bites of their classic Guzzi burger and their bacon and bleu cheese burger.
the view from our room at night. isn't it beautiful? can you spot the big dipper?
One of my favorite things to do is sit by a large fire and roast marshmallows. We did this every night at the Montage, and drank housemade hot chocolate and vanilla marshmallows for our s'mores. Unbelievable. Not to mention, the view from mine and TT's room was spectacular.
friday morning we treated ourselves to some soft serve at the java cow down on main. i just really love ice cream. later that night we all met up for some italian at cisero's.
to be completely honest, there are only a few eateries i like on main street. cafe terigo, ice cream at java cow, and obviously rocky mountain chocolate co. however, our dinner at cisero's did not disappoint. oh wait, i also enjoyed blue iguana this week too. i just really love trying new places and food tasting.
tt and i both liked our meals. i had spaghetti with meat sauce, and tt tried the fettucini florentine. we also had a lot of the appetizers, all of which were very tasty. i especially enjoyed the artichoke dip. after dinner, we had a nice stroll down main street. the weather right now is ideal. it definitely feels like fall!
this weekend, we were able to spend some quality time up in deer valley at the montage, down on main street, and in park city on the alpine coaster. so fun. the twinners and tt were able to sneak away from their crazy school schedules and join me for some fun on the alpine coaster. the coaster = more fun than the alpine slide. and you can't fall off the coaster (but your phone can, and it did) like you can on the slide (and i have). while we waited in line, we played the "pretend game". this is where someone comes up with a pretend scenario, and someone else has to quickly react to it, and i take a picture of their reaction at that exact moment (pictures above and below from this game).
we all played, and laughed really hard. it was a good way to pass the time while we waited.
and then we boarded.
the colors are changing.
tt and i rode together so we could reach maximum speed. and it worked.
Happy Labor Day weekend. We had one last summer "official" summer bbq in my parents backyard today. And some of us just so happened to dress alike. On the menu, a hotdog bar, accompanied by salads (almost all of my aunts and each of my grandmas specialize in one particular salad) and desserts (always the best part!). The hotdog bar turned out quite successful. Everyone likes to prepare their hotdog a different way, and today they could.
My favorite was the chili cheese dog. Yes please. The sauerkraut with bell peppers was pretty good too. TT likes the relish on his, and as long as I have mustard I'm good.
I've got so many fun pictures from this weekend, and I'll be doing a little review of Swiss Days coming up! It's one of the reasons I love Labor Day. We were able to cram quite a bit into the long weekend, and I'm excited to share. Have a wonderful week!
A few weeks ago, we took a Cornelius family picture. I got to photograph our family, which turned out pretty well (I think). My favorite part were these two girlies right here. Miss Ellie was very persistent and would not let go of her blue lid, so funny! And soo sweet!
How fun and cute are these trays? They were absolutely perfect for our big family party on Sunday. Not only do they hold many different sides, but the clean up is easier too. Everything on my plate was delicious, and very healthy! It's always so nice to see a colorful plate full of fresh produce, and home grown vegetables. I can't wait to borrow these trays (thanks mom) for future bbqs and outdoor entertainment, such a fun addition.
Saturday night, the family met at Silver Fork Lodge up Big Cottonwood Canyon to celebrate my Dad's birthday. The night included incredible food, the beginning of a great birthday celebration, and breathtaking scenery.
Love the feel of this little restaurant.
School starts this week, which means the twinners are headed back down to BYU. It's so much fun having them around for family dinners and adventures. I can't believe how fast summer has flown by!

In love with my new Frye's. Can't wait to wear them all day every day this fall. So excited!
When we all go out for a meal together we usually order lots of appetizers. I love it! It's such a fun way to get a feel for the restaurant, and I love tasting lots of different foods.
Canyon Pepper Steak, fresh vegetables and steak fries. This is TT's meal, however I think a few other people ordered it as well. Delicious.
Blackened Salmon with Special Sauce (read: I don't remember what it was), mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables. This was my meal. I love salmon, and this didn't disappoint.
Berry Crisp Cobbler with Vanilla Ice Cream. This is one of the many desserts we tried and was my favorite. The table favorite was the chocolate lava cake, which I unfortunately do not have a photo of.
Why to dine at Silver Fork: Beautiful drive up the canyon (even though I fell asleep). If you eat on the patio you have an incredible view of the mountains and canyon. The food is delicious, and the menu offers something for everyone. It is a little bit on the pricy side, but because of the location, atmosphere, and time you'll spend dining at the lodge, I think it's worth it (then again, I didn't pay for the meal).
Happy Birthday Dad!! You are the best!
Here's a super quick video from last night's dinner...
