Eating In Pym's Kitchen At California Adventure

I'll be honest, I've never seen Ant Man. I can be selective about what Marvel movies I will sit through. Ant Man just didn't seem one that I'd enjoy, so I passed on it.

However, I knew I wanted to eat at Pym's Kitchen, which is a quick service spot, when we went to California Adventure. If you were not aware, California Adventure is located across from Disneyland in Anaheim, California. Pym's Kitchen is based on Ant Man where everything has either been enlarged or shrunk. You'll find it in Avenger's Campus. They offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

The good news is, you can mobile order at Pym's Kitchen. This means you can skip the line, because sometimes it can get long. 

It does look pretty cool on the outside:

The inside is neat as well. There is giant ketchup & mustard bottles, plus other cool details:

There is inside & outside seating.

We got the following:

The Proton Punch which is lemonade, berry puree, cherry-flavored boba, and grenadine filled pipette:

This was tasty and unique to look at. We would order it again.

Now, we decided we could use some extra caffeine so we got the Cookies & Cream Cold Brew. It was chocolate cookie cold brew with sweet cold foam. 

It was...well, it tasted too much like coffee. And it's like, duh, it's cold brew COFFEE, but I was delusional and thought it was taste more like chocolate? If you're a fan of coffee, you'd probably enjoy this. It certainly does look delicious.

Food wise? Well, Tommy got the Quantum Pretzel and it was large. It came with sharp cheddar cheese beer sauce and oh my gosh, it was delish! We all loved it. 

Natalie got the Pepper Particle Pasta which was campanelli pasta topped with grilled chicken, spicy tomato cream sauce, chimichurri and parmesan. This had a delightful flavor, but was too spicy for Natalie. I ended up switching my dish with her. I loved this pasta and would get it again but warning, if spicy foods aren't for you, avoid. Natalie didn't realize it would be THAT spicy.

I ended up getting the Not So Little Chicken Sandwich. It's a fried chicken breast, teriyaki, and red chili sauces and pickled cabbage slaw on brioche, served with crispy potato bites. Basically tater tots. But anyhow, this chicken was so good and amusing! You get this tiny bun and giant chicken. And yes, it's scrumptious. I'd suggest eating with a knife and fork though. But the flavors were there.

Oh, and even better, there are freestyle Coca-Cola machines so you can get as many refills as you'd like. If you need to fill water bottles, it's the perfect spot to do so.

We will return if we're ever in California Adventure again. Check out the menu here to see everything they have!

Would you eat at Pym's Kitchen?

Hey, It's Okay

I got this idea from Glamour magazine. You can link up any day of the week. All you have to do is make a list of what you're okay about. Simple! Please do not link up a post that has nothing to do with Hey, It's Okay. It's rude and I'll delete the link.

HEY, IT'S OKAY....

.....to be going to see Elf at Flix Brewhouse next week. I love that they play classic movies on the big screen. Elf is one of my fave holiday films. 

.....to be glad Tommy passed all his college finals! He's home for holiday break. 

.....to hope Natalie does well with her High School finals this week. She's mostly nervous for that math one. We are not math people.

.....to also hope Natalie remembers to pass out gifts to her teachers. We always give them a card with a gift card inside. We appreciate all teachers do. 

.....to have made our Christmas cards from Snapfish. They are always simple to create and I always get them at 75% off with their Black Friday sales. I'll be making Natalie's graduation cards from them as well!

Teen Gift Picks From Target

Sometimes picking out gifts for a teenager can be difficult. You never know what they'll find lame or "cringe." It's just easier for me to take my daughter shopping and she can pick out what she finds acceptable. 

Oh, and as I always say, gift cards and cash are popular ideas. Teens always need money. 

Target is one of our fave stores, and here is some of what Natalie liked in case it might help you shop for the teen in your life.

First up is this jewelry case. It looks like a purse, but when you open it, there is space for earrings and rings. This is perfect for travel or for taking to school if a teen cannot decide what earrings go best with their outfit and they've run out of time in the morning. They can put this in their backpack and figure out works best in school. Plus it's pink & cute. I believe this was $15.

Natalie loves her scents and thought this one smelled incredible. It's called Lavender Cloud and had a fresh & sweet scent. It's from Frenshe. There are other scents too.

Does your teen need festive earrings? These snowflake ones were pretty. My daughter actually bought these at the store to go with one of her holiday outfits.

My daughter still loves Littlest Pet Shop. She used to play with them all the time as a kid and I guess they're still popular with the older crowd. They have special holiday pets for under $10.

I bought this for Natalie when it was 50% off. It came with a bunch of cool stuff she can use when she is stressed--and trust me, she's a senior in High School so she is stressed. They have a bunch of awesome sets like this. I saw a travel & a get ready with me one as well. Natalie seemed to like all the sets when we were at the store. 

Finally, Natalie has always loved the Tree Hut sugar scrubs. Moroccan Rose is one of her favorite scents so I picked this set up at 50% off as well. She's running out of her sugar scrub so she'll be happy to get this. Target has a bunch of Tree Hut sugar scrubs in a variety of scents! (She also loves Moonlight Glow.)

Happy Shopping!
