Hey guys!

Quick question: Do you have a favorite sweet shop?

If you're anything like me, you need a little sweet in your life along with a little adventure. After sitting in a desk all week, I love to go out on Saturdays and explore what my surrounding areas have to offer! Yesterday I went out to the shops on Main Street in St. George and came back with a few of my favorite sweets.

Some of my favorite shops on Main are Judd's General Store and TwentyFive Main, along with Frei's Fruit Market in Santa Clara.

Judd's General Store is a retro step back in time, with a few quirky new things!

From classic glass bottled sodas to ice cream, old fashioned candy, and homemade soup and bread sticks, they have it all!

Going into this fun little shop always makes me so happy! I love the classic soda parlor feeling you get when walk in. This place is ALWAYS a must for me.

I purchased a few things from on this excursion!

Those include: A Scotty's Butterscotch Soda, a Dad's Old Fashioned Creme Soda, a Leninade, a handful of Airheads Taffy, and a breadstick (which was gone before I walked out the door)!

Do you have a favorite soda? Tell me in the comments below!

Twentyfive Main is a lunch and cake cafe that everyone should know about!

The gourmet cupcakes are to die for! Some of my favorite flavors include: Peanut butter-cup, Vanilla Raspberry, and Chocolate Strawberry. I purchased the chocolate coconut (Almond Joy) cupcake this last time to try something new, and I loved it!

Frei's Fruit Market in Santa Clara is a sweet open air market where you can buy fresh produce as well as unusual jams, jellies, and syrups!

Some of the curiosity we saw were: Peach Jalapeno Jam, Cilantro Lime Ranch, Homemade Caramels, and Famous Utah Peaches.

We walked around the market for a couple minutes, looking through all the produce, wishing we had a kitchen to cook something in. There was a plate of freshly cut nectarines for samples. I'll admit I accidentally took two pieces! The home town feel of the market is so inviting and there were so many elderly people buying fresh vegetables and fruits. It was so cozy and warm! One of the workers gave my friend two small cucumbers for free to try with her ranch!

There were huge jars of Raw Orange Blossom Honey and I wanted to buy some, but I settled for a small jar of Peach Raspberry Jam because it was more affordable for me. I have since opened the jar and tasted the jam, and it is wonderful! You can really taste both the fruits equally!

So there you have it! A couple of places to keep in mind if you are looking for something sweet next time you visit St. George!

Let me know in the comments what your favorite cupcake or jam flavor is! I really want to know!

Thanks so much!
