Zion’s Mercantile at The Shops at Riverwoods

Emily — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 07:10:50 +0000

Nestled within The Shops at Riverwoods is a one of kind shop in Provo, Utah: Zion’s Mercantile Co. No, this isn’t ZCMI. It isn’t even a department store. It is a place where you can get unique gifts, art and home décor…all with a historical LDS twist.

The Sassies recently had the chance to visit Utah County and take a tour of the beautiful Zion’s Mercantile. And we were treated to more than what we expected. The manager Sheri—in fact all the employees—are so knowledgeable about the store history and items. Ask them a question about the artist of a painting or the replica rifles and they will know the answer. You can’t find that at a big box store.

Sheri and her sons actually became familiar with Zion’s Mercantile when they ran the store located in Nauvoo, IL. When they returned home to Utah they were asked several times to help start and manage a store here. And thankfully she agreed or we wouldn’t have our own Zion’s Mercantile here in Provo.

Zion’s Mercantile IS the place to buy gifts for anyone who is interested in early Utah history, Nauvoo, or who just wants something a little different. There is gorgeous artwork, historical replicas, cookbooks, toys, dishes and much, much more—all things you won’t find in other local stores.
Check back on Wednesday and Friday to see the scoop on Zion’s Mercantile and find out if Kim decided to stay in touch with her inner pioneer…forever.

But if you are like me and just can’t wait, feel free to visit:

South Jordan gets a slice of The Pie

Jenny — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 07:10:24 +0000

When I heard we would be reviewing The Pie I got excited and nostalgic for memories of driving to the underground pizzeria near the U. I had no idea that there were other locations, and we met in South Jordan.

Walking in it seemed that great care was taken to replicate (or at least resemble) the ‘underground’ look of the downtown location, with the graffiti-esque décor. The other thing I noticed was that it was HOT in there. Add the fact that we sat in the area upstairs, and it made for a really warm evening. I really like the long booths; plenty of space with no crowding, even for a bigger party.

Sitting upstairs made a few things inconvenient, like having to go downstairs to pick up the food, and to refill the drinks. Speaking of drinks: this was my first experience with a Coke Freestyle machine, which is essentially a soft drink fountain with a touch screen, giving you the ability to not only choose your drink, but also add flavor, equaling over 100 flavor possibilities. Pretty great, except that The Pie only had one machine, so the wait to refill your drink was always long.

The food itself was good. I’m pretty sure The Pie is a classic and traditional favorite among many locals, but I thought the pizza was just okay. We didn’t get a cheese pull-apart, which is what everyone said is their favorite thing, so I’d like to try that sometime. Instead we had garlic/cheese bread.

Overall, I think The Pie in South Jordan is an enjoyable place for a social night out. Go with your friends, or for a family night out, and have a slice!

The Pie Pizzeria in South Jordan

Stephanie — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 08:00:24 +0000

If you live in Utah you likely have heard about The Pie Pizzeria. From the perfect crust to the layers of gooey cheese… it’s a legend around these parts.

The Pie is more than just a legend of delicious pizza. They have a great story:

Just a few steps off the University of Utah campus and your nose starts to tingle from the rich aromas of garlic and fresh baking Pie pizza dough. The mixed aromas pick you up, swirling you past colorful murals and old brick walls dressed in graffiti. The candle lit room filled with college students and professors seems neither crowded nor uncomfortable as people flow in and out for their Pie fix of the day. The University dine in location is open until 3:00 am on weekends, The Pie’s full motion Internet camera gives the world a peek at late night Pie junkies eating, drinking and sometimes even studying. The epitome of all college hangouts, you are now in what all Salt Lakers know as simply THE PIE!

In 1980, The Palmer family had a vision to turn the establishment into a great place for college students to relax, enjoy great food, study and listen to music. An immediate success, students came by the hundreds and The Pie grew from one location to five restaurants spanning Ogden to South Jordan and is still 100% family owned and operated today.

The Sassies recently had a chance to become part of The Pie’s rich and tasty history when we visited their new South Jordan, Utah location.

We learned The Pie is so much more than just pizza. They also have mouthwatering pasta, salad, wings, and subs on their menu.

You too can become part of The Pie’s history by visiting one of their five locations:

The Pie Underground: 1320 E 200 S., Salt Lake City, UT 801 582-5700
The Pie Salt Lake Delivery: 275 S. 1300 E., Salt Lake City, UT 801 582-5700
The Pie Midvale: 7186 S. Union Park Ave., Midvale, UT 801 233-1999
The Pie South Jordan: 10627 S. Redwood Road, South Jordan, UT 801 495-4095
The Pie Ogden: 1225 E. Country Hills Drive, Ogden, UT 801 627-1920

Review: One Sweet Slice in South Jordan

Emily — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 05:48:01 +0000

So what did the Sassies and guest Sassy Evonne think of One Sweet Slice in South Jordan? Read on to find out!
.

.
QUESTION

What was your first impression?

THE SCOOP

Char: SO CUTE! Why have I never crossed the street from Material Girls to check this place out???
Emily: Oh my gosh! Look how cute the decor is! And the cupcakes? Beautiful. Wait, what?!?! You have Italian sodas and frozen lemonade? SOLD!
Evonne: To-die-for decor and a perfect spot to take my little lady.
Jenny: I’m really impressed with the location of the store, and I’m surprised at how big the space is.
Kristina: The shop is really fun and adorable. It would be a great place for a shower or party.
Stephanie: I loved the high ceilings and whimsical decor. It has the feeling of an upscale boutique filled with the most lovely goodies. I would say it is a little on the side of fairytale like.
Vanessa: So excited to have the Sassies come try this place—I want to show it off to them! Love all the places to sit, cute decor, birthday table in the back and friendly smiles at the counter.
.

.
QUESTION

What did you like the most?

Char: I loved the atmosphere and the decor. I also enjoy the denseness of my raspberry chocolate cupcake.
Emily: The cake part of the cupcakes was my favorite thing ever. Super dense and super moist. The peanut butter one was delicious (I had to try this later because Steph wouldn’t share), as was the Almond Joy cupcake. The frozen lemonade was delicious too! Another favorite: hosting a birthday party there. My girls would love it!
Evonne: I loved that there was a spot all the girls could sit around and talk over a sweet treat.
Jenny: The drink options. I had the hot chocolate, and though I couldn’t finish it, I liked the idea of getting cocoa, or an Italian Soda, or lemonade. The chocolate raspberry cupcake was tasty.
Kristina: I loved the Snickerdoodle cupcake, and their French macaroons. I don’t normally like coconut, but their coconut tasted like a unicorn in my mouth.
Stephanie: I had a peanut butter cup cupcake. It was actually like eating a peanut butter cup. AMAZING. And the cake itself was truly the best cupcake I have ever eaten. I typically do not enjoy cupcakes. That cupcake changed my mind.
Vanessa: The Raspberry Chocolate cupcake; the flavors and choices of chocolate makes it a masterpiece. The brownies are yummy, the hot chocolate has ganache in it and the selection of flavors with the cupcakes is great.
.

.
QUESTION

What didn’t you like?

THE SCOOP

Char: I was not a fan of the cake bites, but that’s a personal (bizarre texture-related) problem.
Emily: Her version of the cake bite wasn’t my favorite. The taste and texture was just a little bit off for me.
Evonne: I personally wish I could have stayed longer to try more stuff. :)
Jenny: I had a tiny bite of a . . . what was it? Like, a cakepop without a stick . . . it was super dry.
Kristina: I really wish they sold milk. Their cupcakes were quite rich, and a nice glass of milk would have made everything better.
Stephanie: The coconut cookie thing I ate. Mostly because I don’t like coconut. It gets stuck in the back of my throat. Not my favorite.
Vanessa: The cake bites. Sweet Tooth Fairy perfected them and I don’t think any other nearby bakery should even try. The consistency was off for me with these cake bites. Also their carrot cake cupcake needs to be re-done I think.
.

.
QUESTION

Would you refer One Sweet Slice to a friend?

THE SCOOP

Char: Absolutely. The options for fancy and fab cupcakes in this neck of the woods are slim.
Emily: Already did. And that friend left a half dozen One Sweet Slice cupcakes on our doorstep a few days later. It was awesome.
Evonne: The cupcakes I tried, I loved…and I would most definitely send someone their way for a special occasion cake. Those cakes are off-the-chart amazing.
Jenny: Sure.
Kristina: Yes! I think their cupcakes were delicious, and they were reasonably priced. The shop is also really cute.
Stephanie: YES! I have convinced my sister-in-law that we need to take her little girls there for fun. They would love it.
Vanessa: Yes, I have many times! For cupcakes, personalized birthday cakes, to just hang out with friends and for wedding cakes. Owner is wonderful, cupcakes are moist and delectable and customer service is always perfect.
.

QUESTION

If you could only send out one tweet about the business, what would you say?

Char: Need cake in the south end of the valley? Check out @OneSweetSliceUT
Emily: Looking for a fabulous cupcakery in the south valley? @OneSweetSliceUT is the way to go, promise! #cupcake
Evonne: Planning a little girls party? Check out @OneSweetSliceUT…it is a dream.

One Sweet Slice in South Jordan

Vanessa — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 14:47:31 +0000

Another cupcake shop?

Yes!

That is what I thought when One Sweet Slice opened up by my house and I proceeded to tell to my husband that I was getting a bit sick of cupcakes. The shop opened up nearby on 10600 South and Redwood Road in South Jordan.

But then on a day that I needed sugar I went into the shop and was beyond impressed with the customer service, sweet owner, taste of the cupcakes and selection. My husband (who usually thinks cupcakes are dry, lack flavor and are a bit of a bore) found the cupcakes to be moist, flavorful, inventive and the perfect treat.

My favorite has always been the Raspberry Chocolate.

So I quickly changed my mind and was grateful and a little nervous to have this cupcake shop close to my house. I mean, I bet that shop has added to holiday weight quite a bit. Oh, but it is oh so worth it.

Then I had them do my daughter’s personalized sculpted cake and once again was just blown away with the attention to detail, technique, taste and the magic of the cake.

I knew I had to get the Sassies in there to check it out and to review on our site.

Let me tell you a bit about the store and the sweet owner:

The owner, Janell, started doing wedding cakes when she found she had some extra time and an itch to do something creative after her first child. Her business grew and grew and she has made beautiful wedding cakes for numerous people. Three more children later, Janell decided she needed a storefront! But she needed to add something for walk-in customers just wanting a sweet treat.

CUPCAKES!

Janell thought that she would just simply put her perfected and delicious cake batter in the cupcake tins and it would be just as perfect. But she quickly learned that it was a totally different arena with cupcakes. She took six weeks to perfect all her NEW cupcake recipes. *And let me tell you, boy, does it show!*

Her store has been open for not even a year yet and so far it has been successful and enjoyable. They have new flavors they are trying out all the time as specials. And if the special does well enough, they put it into the regular rotations. They also do frozen drinks, hot chocolate, cake pops, brownies, smaller circle cakes for get-togethers and custom cakes for weddings, parties and birthdays.

The shop itself is adorable, a fun place to sit and eat a sweet treat. They also hold birthday parties in the back for younger children and also older children teaching them to do cupcakes or cakes for a party. I am excited that soon they are going to hold cake decorating classes (the owner used to teach Wilton classes back in the day) to offer to their grownup customers.

But wait…here is the thing…

I have learned that people’s preference in cupcakes are a lot like finding “The Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie” because it is a bit impossible. Everyone likes certain things in cupcakes just like they prefer cookies that are totally different than everyone else!

So what did the Sassies think of One Sweet Slice? Were they impressed as I have been? Or do the tastes of the cupcakes not mirror their personal likes and dislikes? We shall see! Stay tuned for the official review on Wednesday!

Review: Sharon Johnson Photography

Emily — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 19:51:29 +0000

So what did the Sassies and guest Sassy Evonne think of Sharon Johnson Photography? Read on to find out!
.

.
QUESTION

What was your first impression?

THE SCOOP

Char: Pretty, pretty pictures and the paper they’re printed on is delightful!
Emily: Wow! What amazing, gorgeous photos! And the photo books? To die for!
Evonne: Sharon is friendly and easy to warm up to.
Jenny: Another photographer. It seems to be difficult to stand out in a nearly saturated market, I wonder what is different about Sharon’s work?
Kim: Sharon has a very energetic and bubbly personality. She has a way of making you feel at ease and comfortable in front of a camera lens, it almost feels like there isn’t one at all.
Stephanie: Sharon was so friendly and put me at ease. The photography she displayed was gorgeous. You wanted to jump in the pictures and squish some of those cute babies.
.

.
QUESTION

What did you like the most?

Char: I liked the “lifestyle” feel as opposed to “posed” studio prints and I loved the fact that she shoots with film.
Emily: Loved that she uses film instead of digital and LOVE the paper on which she prints the photos. Plus her options for displaying photos are awesome! The accordion-folded book rocked my world!
Evonne: That she showed a variety of different work…something for everyone.
Jenny: The Birth Stories. What a treasure to have that sort of record of the birth of your child. Really beautiful work there. I also like the little photo memory books. And, I appreciate her efforts in the customer service arena, her commitment to getting to know her clients personally before she works with them; this might not be anything big to some people, but to me it’s really important.
Kim: LOVED the beautiful linen texture prints and the boxes that the prints come in are divine. I want to buy one just to get a pretty box. I also love that Sharon shoots film, as a fellow film shooter, it always makes my heart happy to see that film is not dead.
Stephanie: I loved the photo paper Sharon prints on. I believe she said it was linen? It has a similar look to canvas. It’s just really pretty. I also liked the fact her session fees are so reasonable.
.

.
QUESTION

What didn’t you like?

THE SCOOP

Char: The fact that I’m never having another baby so I won’t ever get to have a birth story session.
Emily: That she didn’t have her birth stories package 4 years ago when I had my last child. Or rather, 14 years ago when I first started giving birth. Other than that, though her session fee is great and her sheet prices comparable, the photo package prices and price for a copyright-release CD seem high, but maybe that’s just me and my cheap side talking?
Evonne: I only have regrets that I didn’t hire her to do a birth story of my baby.
Jenny: I didn’t like that Sharon can’t go back in time and create Birth Stories for when my own kids were born.
Kim: I hate when this question is so hard to answer. Hmmm, can’t think of anything that I don’t like about Sharon Johnson Photography.
Stephanie: That I still haven’t seen my headshot. I guess I’m used to the instant gratification of digital and film takes time.
.

.
QUESTION

Would you refer Sharon Johnson Photography to a friend?

THE SCOOP

Char: Absolutely.
Emily: Definitely, especially if they’re looking for a unique way to document the birth of a child.
Evonne: Oh yes I would.
Jenny: Yes, particularly for the Birth Stories Sharon does.
Kim: I would definitely refer Sharon to those looking to book birth stories and family sessions, especially if you are living in northern Utah.
Stephanie: Yes. Who doesn’t need a beautiful portrait?
.

.
QUESTION

If you could only send out one tweet about the business, what would you say?

THE SCOOP

Char: When was the last time you had your picture taken on film? Try it again at Sharon Johnson Photography.
Emily: Best. Way. EVER to capture the birth of your little one: Sharon Johnson Photography’s Birth Stories. DO IT.
Evonne: {coming soon}
Jenny: Check out Sharon Johnson’s Birth Stories-AMAZING! #Utah
Kim: Sharon Johnson Photography for birth story photography to remember the day you never want to forget.
Steph: Capture those special moments with Sharon Johnson Photography.

Sharon Johnson Photography

Stephanie — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 07:00:13 +0000

When was the last time you had your picture taken by a photographer you really love? I am not talking about a studio but an actual photographer, one who shoots on REAL film and captures moments you didn’t even expect? Well look no further.The Sassies recently discovered Sharon Johnson Photography…and now we will share her with you.

Sharon isn’t your typical photographer. She is an artist at heart and that shows through in her work. I loved hearing her tell the story of how she became a photographer. Working at a big photo studio and being fired because she wanted to connect with the people she was shooting and Nnt just focus on (as they call it) the “money shot.”

Since then Sharon has been on a path that led her to where she is today, running her own successfully business where she connects with people and captures their lives one moment at a time. And isn’t that what photography is really about…freezing that one special moment it time?

Sharon loves to turn your life into beautiful art. Be it family photos, birth stories, baby’s first pictures or maybe some special grandkid pictures for grandma. Those special memories will come to you beautifully packaged and printed on gorgeous linen paper, smudge free for those with little sticky fingered friends.

Now I know what you are thinking: how much does all this cost? This is where you will be pleasantly surprised. A session with Sharon Johnson Photography only costs $75. Yup… you read that right. $75 for an experience you will remember. That includes a pre-session consultation with Sharon to iron out all the details and alleviate some of the stress. It’s like having your BFF take your portrait. I know she had the Sassies giggling when she recently snapped our headshots.

Photos start at $15 a print or you can get a portrait package starting at $450. And don’t worry, she offers payment plans because she knows that the collections are irresistible.

Sharon Johnson Photography services the Wasatch Front.

Shake, shake, shake, your cupshake & GIVEAWAY!

Stephanie — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 07:00:19 +0000

The Sassies recently visited Sammy’s Cafe in Pleasant Grove. And after reading about our visit I am sure you are already DROOLING over the thought of fry sauce and cupshakes.

We visit a lot of local businesses because we truly LOVE local. It is always wonderful to hear about how the owners support local too. Sammy actually uses local cupcake shops at all 3 locations for his cupshakes. How awesome is that? Local supporting local? It’s like the circle of life… business life.

The Sassies discovered how to make sweet potato fries dinner and DESSERT all at once. Sammy’s will give you a side of caramel sauce that makes your dinner a sweet treat. I am pretty sure Lindsey smuggled some out under her shirt. (This may be her casual “I have caramel sauce dripping down my shirt” face)

So… what are you waiting for? Get hungry… grab the family… go to Sammy’s Cafe. They have locations in Rexburg, ID, Provo, UT, and Pleasant Grove, UT for your pie shake eating pleasure.

Review: Sammy’s Cafe

Emily — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 17:32:38 +0000

So what did the Sassies think of Sammy’s Cafe in Pleasant Grove, Utah? Read on to find out!
.

.
QUESTION

What was your first impression?

THE SCOOP

Emily: Love the fun location just off Center Street. It has an old-town Main Street feel to it—perfect for a pie shake parlor! I did notice it was pretty tiny, though, with limited seating. Kinda felt a bit claustrophobic, so I was glad they had a funky little back room for us and the kids.
Kim: I noticed and loved the hole-in-the-wall feel. I think the best restaurants are ones such as these. I loved the welcoming hand painted sign out front talking about pie shakes. I had no idea there even was such a thing! I was surprised to walk in and find additional seating in the back of the restaurant which had vintage desks and a table that I am sure used to be my aunt’s.
Lindsey: This place is small. Are you sure we are all going to fit in here with our kids? Oh wait, they have a back room. Cool. And what’s this? Cupshakes? Have mercy!
Stephanie: I walked in and thought it seemed a little small. But then I looked at the menu and it made up for the lack of size.
.

.
QUESTION

What did you like the most?

Emily: The battered fries were delicious as were the sweet potato fries (perfectly seasoned). Their unique fry sauce was super yummy; I might have wanted to take a gallon home with me. I also thought the “create your own burger” was a great idea, and my kids loved their shakes. (They loved them so much they forgot to share with me. Guess I need to return for my own!)
Kim: Camilla and I loved our cupshake. We may have even fought for it and over it. I personally loved the sweet potato fries and the concoction that made up the fry sauce was incredible. I learned later that the special ingredient was ranch dressing. Who would have thought? I really liked that I could make my own burger. I love that about other restaurants and I loved that I could pick and choose what I wanted on mine. I ended up with 4 different kinds of meats and even put an egg and spam on mine. It was delicious. I suggest you try it when you go.
Lindsey: I thought the hand-cut fries were delicious and the fry sauce was the perfect blend. I love that the potatoes come from Rexburg! I also really enjoyed my cupshake. I had the carrot cake cupshake and loved getting bits of frosting in the shake. I was also really impressed that they use cupcakes from local bakeries at each of their 3 locations.
Stephanie: I really liked my chicken sandwich. The chicken was tender and juicy. Chicken is typically dry and overcooked at most places. I also liked the fry sauce. Not your typical mayo and ketchup. It had some zing. I like zing. Plus there is a backroom that would work well for families or a bigger group of people.
.

QUESTION

What didn’t you like?

THE SCOOP

Emily: My kids weren’t super impressed with the chicken fingers. They looked like something frozen and reheated and were rather dry. My chicken sandwich was missing the pepper jack cheese, so it didn’t have nearly the kick I would have liked. But again, the fry sauce sort of distracted me from my disappointment. I would have liked a bit more seating as well. When the weather gets chilly, it’s going to be a bit cozy in there!
Kim: There was really nothing I didn’t like.
Lindsey: The mix in my soda was off.
Stephanie: The regular fries were a bit soggy but the sweet potato fries and battered fries were fabulous. I would also be really concerned about seating if I went during a lunch or dinner rush. I think it is more of a place I would get take out from.
..

QUESTION

Would you refer Sammy’s Cafe to a friend?

THE SCOOP

Emily: If they were in the area, I totally would! Who doesn’t want/need a cupshake or pie shake once in a while (or more often)? And their fries and fry sauce are delicious!
Kim: Certainly. It is a fun place to go after the kids’ soccer game. For a fun little treat to celebrate a new karate belt, or a great place to go to get some pie flavor in a jiffy.
Lindsey: Yes! I think it’s a great place to go and lounge with friends or get a treat after a movie on date night. I want to try all the cupshakes and pie shakes!
Stephanie: Yes. In fact I have many friends that have referred me to Sammy’s. People love it. And after tasting the food I can understand why.
.

QUESTION

If you could only send out one tweet about the business, what would you say?

THE SCOOP

Emily: Cupshakes and pie shakes truly exist! You better do your own research @SammysPG. Don’t forget battered fries & fry sauce on the side!
Kim: @SammysPG for local pie shake goodness. Don’t know what a pie shake is? Well, now is the time to find out.
Lindsey: Go get introduced to dipping sweet potato fries in caramel at @SammysPG. It is seriously delish.
Stephanie: Burgers, and chicken, and pieshakes OH MY! @sammyspg and @sammyscafe IS your new burger joint.
