Carl's Jr 80th anniversary event

 
I was invited to Carl's Jr 80th-anniversary event in Anaheim. ⁠ I got to try some food including 80th birthday hand-scooped shakes, chocolate oreo and strawberry cheesecake with unicorn whipped topping. There was a hot dog stand to pay homage to how Carl’s Jr. started in 1941.

Cooking meatless vegan meatball spaghetti with Edward & Sons Jackfruit

 
I made vegan meatless meatball spaghetti using Edward & Sons jackfruit meatless alternative.
I simply followed the recipe on the box. I had to substitute some of the stuff but it's great if you are a vegan or on diet.

When you eat meatball spaghetti at restaurants, it's pretty high calories, but this one box of jackfruit is under 100 calories, 0g fat, 0g sugar. Isn't that great!? ⁠
I also enjoyed parma parmesan. I can't eat regular parmesan cheese and I never tried it, so I'm really happy that I got to try this plant-based parmesan. ⁠
