It’s All About the Boysenberry Food at Knott’s Boysenberry Festival

Whenever I think of the Knott’s Berry Farm Boysenberry festival, I immediately think of all the boysenberry food. Boysenberry wings. Boysenberry cheesecake. Boysenberry ice cream. The list goes on, but did you know that there’s a lot more to the boysenberry than just boysenberry food?

Take a look at these items we spotted when visiting Knott’s Berry Farm last week for this year’s Boysenberry Festival.

boysenberry food

First, there’s that boysenberry coffee. Can you imagine waking up to that coffee on a Monday morning? Way to start the week right! The boysenberry soap is another winner. It smells so perfectly fresh and fruity and definitely like something you always say “I could take a bath in this” but now you really can.

Everywhere you look are boysenberry items. Shirts, Snoopy’s in boysenberry-theme clothes, hats, mugs, barbecue sauce, salad dressing, preserves, sauces, jams, you name it. I may or may not be wearing boysenberry chapstick on my lips right now. (At three for $9.99, it’s a steal.)

Good luck with getting out of Knott’s Berry Farm without at least a few of these items….like this honey. This tastes SO good on a toasted English muffin on a rushed morning before getting the kids out the door or going off to work.

That competes with the boysenberry butter we bought to put on top of pancakes. The possibilities with all of this are endless!

Back to the boysenberry food in the park though… Knott’s gave my family and I tickets to get into the park as well as food and wine tasting cards…so we definitely put them all to good use.

The boysenberry macaroon is new to the menu this year, as is the boysenberry boba. It’s got a very mild boysenberry flavor, not unlike the boysenberry cheesecake, a treat on a stick that doesn’t overpower with sweet and still lets the cheesecake flavor shine through the boysenberry sauce coating and the boysenberry center. Yum.

Then there’s the new boysenberry elote. This line was long, but the Knott’s team gets you out of the line and on your way quickly. The process for making the elote takes about 30 seconds, after the corn is fully grilled, and it’s fun to watch.

That street corn takes about 30 seconds to eat, too. We only got one and it was gone in a heartbeat. That’s the problem with the Boysenberry Festival, if I had to find one. There is so much food, you can’t possibly eat it all, so I actually have to share.

The boysenberry quesadilla is the mildest of the boysenberry food items we tried, but you have to give it a lot of points for presentation. Who can complain about a purple food? That little purple tiki guy in Knott’s Ghost Town wasn’t complaining.

Boysenberry chicken wings are infamous. They are made to order so they are perfectly saucy and not at all soggy. These were an absolute favorite of the day and we did get more than one order.

boysenberry food

My personal favorite was the boysenberry pierogis, with a boysenberry cream cheese dip and grilled onions. I’ve always loved pierogis and this was a twist on an old-time food that everyone will love.

In keeping with the Boysenberry Festival and the Knott’s tradition of themed entertainment, look at the list of just some of the shows happening at Knott’s throughout the festival. There are also shows on various stages throughout the park and of course, Snoopy and friends roaming the park. Don’t miss the photo opp with Snoopy when you first get into the park! You’ll find him under the windmill covered in huge boysenberries.

Scattered throughout Ghost Town, you’ll find even more references to the theme park-inspiring berry, along with facts about the boysenberry and the park’s humble beginnings. (And now I really want to grow boysenberries!)

You also don’t want to miss the wine tasting in the Wilderness Dance Hall. Purchase a wine tasting card and get six wine or craft beer samples for one low price. Allot yourself time to really enjoy the experience. The various wineries are scattered throughout the hall, and you’ll receive a plate of cheese and fruits to go along with your tastes, one with each tasting card.

boysenberry wine

Don’t miss the actual boysenberry wine, too. It’s on the sweet side, like a dessert wine, and is delicious. You can also buy a boysenberry food tasting card, which gives you eight foods for only $30. You can mix and match, repeating foods or getting one of each. There is also a lot of other food throughout the park, from north to south, that isn’t included on the card so don’t pack it in after you try those eight foods! From the fun bun to the churros, you’ll be eating boysenberry food from morning to night, so plan accordingly and go to the park hungry!

boysenberry food

The only thing I didn’t get to eat that I wanted was the boysenberry ice cream chocolate chip cookie sandwich. I’d planned on grabbing it as I was heading out of the park, but I couldn’t eat another bite. Sad face. Next time, right? (I’m a sucker for any chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich.)

boysenberry food

Plan on walking around the park in between all the treats. There’s a lot to see, including the normal things such as watching the blacksmith make horseshoes and talking to the sheriff as he wanders.

snoopy

Whatever you do, don’t forget to pick up a Snoopy…or at least give him a hug. We found him over by the boysenberry taffy and soda. And yes, we bought both….and the boysenberry gummy bears, extra large gummies that are hard to put down once you open the bag. Trust me.

boysenberry food

See you soon, Knott’s Boysenberry Festival! Tickets are still available and the festival runs through April 8. Learn more at the Knott’s website and check out the low prices on daily tickets as well as season passes. If you’re coming from out of town, there are also hotel and park ticket packages available. Go at least once, even if you go just for the boysenberry pie. You won’t be sorry.

Moet-Chandon champagne at the top of the Eiffel To Moet-Chandon champagne at the top of the Eiffel Tower? Sign me up. Our anniversary trip to Paris, France, was at the top of my bucket list and it was everything I hoped for. We did so many things, but our visit to the top of the Eiffel Tower was a highlight. 

A few things to know before you go:

There are three “stories” to the tower. All are accessible via stairs/elevator, but you have to purchase a ticket to see any. Your ticket is specific to which floors you plan to visit, so purchase carefully. Your ticket is required at each level to ascend higher.

Buy your ticket in advance. They do sell out, and lines can be long for standby. When we went, the standby line was around 70 minutes. 

It gets cold. The summit, which is the ‘top,’ is very windy. Secure your hat. In March, I wore a puffy coat and a scarf. I was still cold and wished I’d had gloves. 

At the summit, there is a champagne booth. You can purchase Moet-Chandon (in plastic flutes you can keep) to cheers the city. Also available are macarons and caviar. If they are out of macarons, you can also get them on the second story. They are good!

Unless you are in tip-top shape and/or you really feel brave, take the elevator up. Save your energy for the view or for taking the stairs down, which is what we did. The elevators coming down can be delayed, so if you’re in a rush, descending via the stairs may just be faster or at least break even.

There are two restaurants and a bar. Both restaurants require reservations. The Jules Verne is very high-end and books up months in advance. (We were not able to get a reservation despite trying quite a while ago.) 

Security is very, well, secure. You and your items will go through searches similar to the airport. They have a bin next to the entry full of things they took — SO many butter knives, and I still have no idea why someone would have one on their person?

It’s beautiful, so take your time. It’s incredible. Do it.

Disneyland Paris is celebrating its 30th anniversa Disneyland Paris is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, and walking through the gates for our first visit was amazing. Also amazing: the Phantom Mansion. It has a lot of similarities to our Haunted Mansion here in California, but with a scarier spin. And for those who frequent the HM here in Anaheim, you know how often it stops mid-ride. This one didn’t stop once! It also creeped me out, and I LOVED it. The outside has shades of the Bates Motel and doesn’t have the cute factor of Disneyland California. Newer and more cleanly laid out, this whole park is pretty amazing. More info coming here and on the blog soon. Still gathering photos and putting away/distributing souvenirs.

A day in the French countryside is the stuff dream A day in the French countryside is the stuff dream vacations are made of. We drove two hours to Chablis, with new friends from Austin (private tour groups are the best!) and visited several wineries. Full confession: we tapped out early. ALL of us. So much wine. I should be embarrassed by that…maybe…but I’m not. We had an amazing French cuisine me lunch mid-day, where we enjoyed more wine. I’ll share lunch photos later. 

You save and plan so much for international travel, you need to try and relax and enjoy it. Not always easy, especially if your tour guide is sleepy or there are protests blocking the airport entry the day before you leave, but this pic kind of exemplifies our adventure. Go as far as you can. Do things you love. Be silly. And appreciate your partner’s goofy photo poses. 😆 Most of all, have fun. And drink wine.

That time, not long ago, that I spent my birthday That time, not long ago, that I spent my birthday feeding the giraffes. Bucket list ✅

Do the things you dream of. Wear the silly ears. Giggle like a kid. 

Life is way too short. There are only so many days to do all those things you’ve wanted to do. Make those memories. 

And feed the giraffes. This event is a private add-on when you visit the park. Reservations are required in advance. Worth every single penny….and I can’t wait to do it again.

Shuri was out on a walk with Dad, but for Lady Sif Shuri was out on a walk with Dad, but for Lady Sif, patience is a work in progress. This is how our goofy but lovable big girl waited for her turn.

And yes, kids grow up so we dote on the pups now. Why not? Lots of rescues available out there waiting for forever homes!

The recipe for that deliciousness is below! After The recipe for that deliciousness is below! After an overindulgent holiday season…and a whole lot of excuses…I’ve finally been working on adding more protein into my diet to drop a few pounds before we head to Paris next week. One of my favorite meals — or meal replacement, call it what you will — is a protein shake. They can be made in so many ways, all depending on what basics you have on hand. I try to keep mine simple, using whatever fruit I have in the drawer. Right now, thanks to Melissa’s Produce, I have Ojai Pixie tangerines to enjoy, so I decided to craft a super easy protein smoothie. I feel full, it gives me a protein boost and I only have to clean out the blender. Easy peasy.

Ojai Pixie Protein Smoothie

1 frozen banana
1/2 cup ice
1 scoop of protein powder
1/3 cup Greek yogurt
1 cup almond milk 
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 Ojai Pixies tangerines, peeled and sectioned

Blend in a powerful blender and serve with a fatty straw. If you don’t puree it, you’ll have some little chunks of citrus that will clog a regular straw, but for me, that makes it even better. 

Thick, cold, chunky, tangy citrus perfection. Grab some Ojai Pixie Tangerines soon! They’re only available through early June!
