This is the best rainbow sprinkle cookie I’ve ever had! The top got more and more fluffy and exciting as I dove in... that I actually screamed + then I made it disappear in seconds. I hope you’re able to find something bright + cheery that makes you smile each day! 🌈🍪🌈

☀️Read Why You Should Stay @enchantment_resort now☀️-- it's more than just the 70 acres of 360 red rock views and safe, private casitas. The pools, fresh air, gorgeous sunsets + sunrises make me want to move here and eat their croissant egg sandwich with prickly pear jam and then hike all day! They have a new Trail House with 3D models and maps that help you find which hikes suit you based on difficulty and time. We did an intentional aroma massage followed by a labyrinth meditation walk which def set me up for some good energy. We also ventured out to Oak Creek Vista for their gorgeous artisan market and forest views.

Read bio link on why Sedona is a great exploration of self and nature even during the cold! ❄️❄️❄️

🌵My Sedona Travel Guide is live! 🌵Spent the last 5 days here where we gained mental freedom in the land of gorgeous red rocks + clear skies— 24 miles of hiking including a Full Moon night, climbed 6,000 ft to Bear Mountain, met a chocolate maker who taught us all about cacao and Willie Nelson, swept through energy vortexes as they say to gain balance, calmness, and creativity, and put my mind on pause and my body on high!

Can’t forget the prickly pear margs and @lisadahlsedona restaurants, of course. Read all about my favorite hikes, dinners, and body breath work @jaggersjr in bio!

Dessert— it’s a lifestyle and a love language

Dessert— it’s a lifestyle and a love language I share with my niece! We made these rainbow kiss cookies which are as rockin’ as they look, so Reese thinks we need to open a bakery...when she’s old enough, of course. 🤣My whole family = sugar monsters & my dad JUST shared my great grandmother was a baker in Poland w a famous challah recipe before she came to the U.S. Genetics are crazy, and I’m glad WE think it’s normal to eat chocolate chip cookies at breakfast. 🍪🍪🍪

I wrote my "Best Dining Experiences in 2020” in bio link which encompasses the hard working restaurants that created elevated experiences: at home like sushi omakase🍣, furloughed chefs opening bakeries out of their homes, on-demand oyster shuckers for your backyard 🦪, private outdoor cabanas and heated tents onsite, new restaurants that opened for the 1st time, meal kits, and people that did whatever it took to keep their staff afloat and their biggest fans fed! Swipe through + click bio link to see a few of my favorites. 🌈🌈🌈
Love you, restaurant industry + hope everyone is tipping you well!

You know, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but after a recent @thoroughbreadatx taste test (my family calls it this even though it’s really eating the whole thing), I think I’m now cheering on the Pecan Chocolate Chip cookie most! As an avid, anti-nutter in my cookies, I don’t know how this happened, but it did… at least for now.

I’m dumbfounded bc I don’t change my mind ab things I’m this passionate ab often, so it’s enlightening! Will try again soon... just in case ya know. Which is your go-to order?🍪🍪🍪

Word for the NEW @lapiscinaaustin = it’s full of fun, nonstop, sizzling fajita options (literally the fire stays at the table) like lobster, filet mignon, jumbo shrimp. 🍍Reminds me of El Tiempo in Houston~🍍however, my favorite dish was the lobster quesadillas and the green salsa. 👉🏻

Like the name implies, it’s a pool side restaurant, so if you’re looking for a bit nicer evening, I vote downstairs @thepeacockaustin for the best pita I’ve ever had + salads. 👊🏻

This is ME in my element with Jam at her new ice cream + gf bakeshop @gati.icecream I helped open in October! She’s a client that trusts me to come up with crazy, new ideas for her 12 yr old @thaifresh . When we first met, we talked for hrs ab favorite desserts + travels all over the world and that’s when we knew we’d be a perfect match. I pick my clients when our visions and passions align. Jam lets me use my gift to create big partnerships and ideas to help her succeed with new revenue options and public awareness. I love this industry and helping our restaurants grow to be seen in the best light! A few of my recent wins w Thai Fresh:

✨@tribeza “One’s to Watch” 2020

✨The Thai Fresh Cookbook in @cherrybombe
✨SXSW food truck pop-up
✨Forbes, Eater, KXAN, Fox7, Austin Statesman, Austin Chronicle, Austin Tidbits, etc

When you’re being too hard on yourself get out, just look up, smile, + you’ll see the magic. Free fun is the best beat!! Love Austin + my friends all over! 🎄🎄🎄

Digging the whole persona of this new pizza spot @doughboysatx which slings wood-fired dough out of a light blue truck in an outdoor food park. They have pillowy crust, a sturdy base so your ‘za doesn’t flop, and they sell out. BYOB under the stars and order the Italian Vato with green chiles. 🍕🍕🍕
