I created a Best Take-Out list for Date Night + Fancy Pants (in your pjs of course) for tempting restaurants that never deliver with chek rec dishes to get—like Omakase’s+ Martini’s— in bio link + @takeouttracker site. Extra SALUTE to @patrizisaustin whose team has opened up a soup kitchen for free meals to those in need. 🍝🍝🍝

Welp, after 2 weeks, I’m all out of fresh goods

Welp, after 2 weeks, I’m all out of fresh goods (have an @heb delivery coming tomorrow + have been rationing my chocolate)! Dutch ovens rule bc you can throw it all in + make something healthyish while also tiding the kitchen before it’s ready! I never fully follow a recipe bc I like to use what I already have which is ideal for right now. Inspired by @bonappetitmag Brothy Pasta, I added spinach, lemon, oregano, and @eatbanza instead of regular pasta which made the soup even creamier…score! Here is a good recipe clean up if you are running low on ingredients, and also easy way to use almost expired spinach (I add it to every soup I make). Hope this helps! #TexansHelpingTexans 🥫Heat oil in dutch oven with chopped onion and salt
🥫Add oregano or any green spice in that cabinet + red pepper, garlic salt 🥫Add cleaned can of chickpeas, full can of whole peeled tomatoes crushed by hand + liquid
🥫Cook for 15 min then add pasta for about 8 min or so until al dente 🥫Top off with spinach stir until done w a squeeze of lemon

You might feel like a small helpless crumb that fell off the path, but we can stay sane by helping others still! I’m talking about the hospitality industry not just because I love to stuff my face, but I have dedicated my PR career to helping restaurants/chefs succeed, and my social life to planning memorable nights out with my fun friends. Thanks to @fanniegunton , we have been working to update www.takeouttracker.com - a list of Austin restaurants offering curbside and to-go with all the deets. Read my blog post in bio for my favorite dishes at each, + other ways you can help them so they are able to seek relief! 🌈🌈🌈 P.S. I’m offering FREE 15 min PR/Marketing consultation calls tomorrow ( I do work with other brands besides food), so if you’re interested in help or seeing what working with a publicist is like, please DM me, and I’d be happy to share some ideas. 🤘

Drowning away the fear, and still kickin’ it! 🏊🏻‍♀️🏊🏻‍♀️🏊🏻‍♀️Hope everyone can find something cheery + their sunshine. Shoulda gone with my Dad on his Antarctica trip last week 🤪

🌸NEW MEXICAN🌸 If you’re looking to escape somehow, this pink oasis @taqueromuchoaustin easily transports you to Miami + Cabo in no time. I lost my breath over the intensity, but laughed my way through—seeing men in business suits + surprised by the best choriqueso and margaritas! So, yes, I’d go back especially to pregame a night out downtown + forget about anything that’s not cheery.

🌮🌮 NEW NEW NEW 🌮🌮 I’ve NEVER seen a cheese SKIRT on a cauliflower taco + this is why you should go to @reunion19atx - for the crunch and cheese created on the flat top which is then placed on tortilla. Runner up = Carne Asada bc of guac. Go for a casual taco lunch when you want a sit down spot or taco truck line is long. 🥑🥑🥑

🥂 CONGRATS to my client @vixensweddingatx 🥂

🥂 CONGRATS to my client @vixensweddingatx 🥂 I met + signed on w the team exactly 1 year ago, and my long term goal was to get this restaurant on @texasmonthly list for Best New Restaurants and it happened!!! Scoring a legendary meeting with Pat Sharpe back in July on the opening announcement was thrilling and learning all about @duplechananigans passion for Goa and food in general is fascinating and contagious. I’m so proud of the whole team over there who are all so creative and hard working, but even more excited to have gained so much knowledge and new friendships. Thanks for your amazing team work and yay for this huge achievement! You did it. 💫💫💫
