💥THIS JUST IN💥 Updated my Best Chocolate Chi 💥THIS JUST IN💥 Updated my Best Chocolate Chip Cookies in Austin article bc everyone needs to know where to get their go-to for: gooey, salty, chocolatey, crunchy, gluten-free, AND stuffed cookies. Read about the best 11 in bio link + save! 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪 Here’s a peek~ @thoroughbreadatx @kelliesbakingco @epicerie_austin @teddyvcookies @hotlcoffee @henbitaustin @tinyboxwoodsaustin @nuhassinfuldesserts
Made it safely to adult summer camp with my LA fam Made it safely to adult summer camp with my LA family on Catalina Island~ we swam with the fishies, kayaked to Emerald Bay, ate dinner when the bell rang at 5:45 p.m., slept in bunkbeds, ran at sunset with pink skies + cleansed our bodies in the salty Pacific Ocean. The memories and serenity with our crew was a sweet discovery. 🏊🏻‍♀️🏊🏻‍♀️🏊🏻‍♀️🏊🏻‍♀️🏊🏻‍♀️🏊🏻‍♀️ @catalinaislandcamps flipped their model to offer family-only cabins with separate facilities for dining, bathrooms, beach, + water toys, since they didn’t allow their regular kid programing. They are open for the next two months as well if you have a pod to attend with, and also it’s a great way to help support a business who has lost so much! Read all about it in bio link! 🐡🐡🐡🐡🐡🐡🐡🐡
You need to bring home this almighty Sushi + Sake You need to bring home this almighty Sushi + Sake spread @uchikoaustin available all September. A 🔥 omakase deal~ $150 total + feeds 2.

People *didn’t* believe me 6 months ago when I’d say I don’t know how to cook. Sure, I can tell you the best restaurants and what dish to order at every spot in Austin, but one thing covid gifted me (ha!) was the time to learn how to make my own taste buds dance! However, if you need a quick and healthy already-made-meal for yourself or to entertain friends with, do @heb Italian Zoodle Salad! If you have more time, dress it up w mint, basil, and homemade 1/2 turkey 1/2 zucchini meatballs (recipe below). 🥬🥬🥬🥬🥬🥬🥬🥬🥬🥬🥬🥬🥬🥬🥬🥬🥬🥬 Also, from now through September 22, 2020, @heb is hosting the #SummerOfGiving initiative to raise much needed funds for Texas Food Banks through a partnership with Feeding Texas. When customers purchase their favorite H-E-B branded items, H-E-B will donate up to $2 million to Feeding Texas as part of their ongoing commitment to help Texans during this challenging time. #HebPartner ✨ - Heat Oven to 425 -Grate 1 zucchini in a bowl with half a chopped onion, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 tsp red pepper, 2 tsp cumin, 1 tsp salt and toss -Add 1 lb turkey, chopped basil + mint and toss -Bake balls on greased baking sheet for 20 min
BEST 3 SWIMS NEAR AUSTIN~ I *may or may not* have BEST 3 SWIMS NEAR AUSTIN~ I *may or may not* have been sneaking some early a.m. laps in at Barking Springs (no algae) to get that cold plunge life in, but better yet, read new blog post in bio about my favorite cold water springs and parks that are all under an hour away from Austin. It’s a short, all you need to know playbook about: COMMONS FORD, BLANCO STATE PARK, KRAUSE SPRINGS. 🏊🏻‍♀️🏊🏻‍♀️Thank you for reading ~namaste~ 🏊🏻‍♀️
✨GIVEAWAY✨I 💗pastries so much, but more imp ✨GIVEAWAY✨I 💗pastries so much, but more importantly, I love the hospitality industry bc the people are so fun, and they let me ask a million questions about food. I found this cute chef Camila @do.cvg (who was furloughed) baking miraculous treats for sale from home. I just bought 4 Guava Ice Rolls to GIVEAWAY to 1 of YOU to help support this cute gal! These babies are doughy, not too sweet, and good to snack on any time of day. ✨To win ✨follow me, like it + tag as many hungry friends for a chance to win a package from me! Thank you!
These crunchy, cheesy, briskety birria tacos DO ta These crunchy, cheesy, briskety birria tacos DO taste as good as they look @la.tunita.512. I think you’ll race for the Queso Tacos (top), but don’t miss the Mulita (bottom) + dunk it in the consome! In honor of our wonderful taco city, I’ve written my top 1️⃣7️⃣🌮in a blog post linked in bio. Here’s a teaser 👇🏻 🌮 @tacoflats Black & Green bfast 🌮 @veracruztacos Fish 🌮 @nixtataqueria Sweet Potato 🌮 @valentinastexmexbbq Smoked Chicken + Beef Rib 🌮 @reunion19atx Cauliflower
🎯BEST NEW FIND🎯: Cinnamon Brioche Loaf from 🎯BEST NEW FIND🎯: Cinnamon Brioche Loaf from @do.cvg aka Camila, a local Puerto Rican pastry chef. Her instagram made my eyes explode at all the unique breads she’s dishing out of her kitchen. She sells Brioche Matcha Swirl, Sweet Rolls, Burger Buns, Whole Wheat Sourdough, Bagels, etc. and offers pick-up every Weds. & Sat. My all-time favorite was the Pan Sobao which is sweet~ish, soft, and shaped like a baguette. I gulped the whole thing down in 3 days ,and I used with cheese, butter, and as a side for breakfast. Nothing makes me happier than discovering chefs who put so much love into their work and smile as big as Camila (I could see it through her mask). Place your order!
I think I’m ready to be a Texas Park Ranger now! I think I’m ready to be a Texas Park Ranger now! 🐢🐢🐢Newest adventure @blancostatepark just an hour~ish from Austin. Swim + hang in your tube along the calm mile-long Blanco River. Day passes are $5 online + there are still open ressies for this Friday and all next week (I CHEKed for you!) Let me know if you want me to keep up the outdoor tips!
An overflowing cheeseboard w simple party tricks m An overflowing cheeseboard w simple party tricks makes an addicting snack.
