THE WIFE™ hasn’t been this excited about frozen treats since Penguins Frozen Yogurt came on the scene in 1985. Introducing, Freeze, Pressed Juciery’s soft-serve and the first of its kind. Made by using only juices from fruits and vegetables, almonds and coconuts, Freeze is a vegan, gluten and dairy-free dessert packed with the same nutrition found in their popular juice flavors. The “Freeze” comes in six different flavors: greens, citrus, fruit, roots, and vanilla or chocolate almond and toppings include chia seeds, shredded coconut, chocolate covered goji berries, honey, rose syrup, almond butter and fresh berries.

Finally a place THE WIFE™ can take her kids this Summer in lieu of unhealthy ice cream. THE WIFE™ Favorite: Vanilla Almond with Strawberries, Cacao Chips and Cacao Drizzle. Available at Pressed Juciery Newport Beach, Hollywood, Santa Barbara and Palo Alto. Visit PressedJuicery.com for more information. – THE WIFE™

Holy Moly Mother of God! THE WIFE™ is loving this 19th century French pastry that holds court with a name so fitting… Kouign Amann, pronounced “Queen Ah-Mon“. The name is derived from the Breton words for cake (“kouign”) and butter (“amann”). This addictively delicious pastry hangs out in the same tribe as the cronut, but is denser than a croissant and more layered than a doughnut. If that weren’t enough, the dough contains layers upon layers of butter and sugar magically folded in.

THE WIFE™ discovered this magnificent morning treat last year at Williams Sonoma. We think these make the perfect housewarming gift accompanied by a jar of sweet berry jam. Then on recent trip to Trader Joe’s we found the precious pasties in the frozen section…. Game changer! Order a set of 8 at Williams-Sonoma.com for $39.95 or pick up at a box of 4 at Trader Joe’s, for a fraction of the price at $3.99. -THE WIFE™

THE WIFE’s newest obsession comes from the original cupcake house, Sprinkles. Turns out they’ve gone vegan and it’s the best thing on their menu! Traditional dairy products are substituted with vegan friendly ingredients, including pure coconut oil. The result is a cake so moist with frosting so rich. Just look for the red V to know it’s Vegan Red Velvet! Trust us when we say order two! –THE WIFE™

THE WIFE’s newest favorite discovery is the Tonewood Maple Sugar Cube. A breakfast must have during the holiday season. As delicious as it is stylish, the pure maple sugar cube is a unique option for adding a touch of sweetness to your favorite morning snacks. Use a traditional grater and then sprinkle the sugary shavings over the top of oatmeal, fruit, or ice cream for a sweet delicate twist. Makes for the perfect housewarming gift paired with gourmet steal cut oatmeal. Available in Golden Delicate (buttery maple flavor) or Dark Robust (intense maple flavor), 7oz. $16.99 at Tonewoodmaple.com -Taryn Cox for THE WIFE™
