On the bright side of sorts, aren’t we learning

On the bright side of sorts, aren’t we learning that we can really do anything?! The meal kits from @comedortx • @assembly.kitchen are one of the most inspiring + fun things I’ve done. You feel the ❤️ and passion they created through each step and gain confidence in the kitchen by having the chefs right there via video to show you. I’m so impressed with the ease in process and how it literally tasted EXACTLY like the restaurant which brought back so many great memories!! I thought it would be hard and was scared to see Bone Marrow in my house, BUT yes you can do it. Chek Rec it! 🤯🤯🤯

I’m not a baker, just a pastry seeker, but I had ripe 🍌 + bruised 🍓, so made a cake with ingredients I had —even subbing greek yogurt for baking powder. I think it turned out pretty rad, but also beautiful in a messy way! Learning how to create art in everything which brings me to my pastel drawn recipe 👉🏻 in case you want to make one! Also, in bio link.

🎈SURPRISE🎈Happy Happy BIRTHDAY to my favorit

🎈SURPRISE🎈Happy Happy BIRTHDAY to my favorite April-born friends!! I wanted to celebrate each of you somehow since I can’t see you in person bc I cherish birthdays and everyone deserves a party! I didn’t have any cake mix, but found an actually WOW brownie recipe using pb, zucchini, cacao, honey, + chocolate chips. I hope everyone is finding ways to spread cheer as @heb inspired me with their #TexansHelpingTexans which is how I came up with this idea. 🎂
What are you doing to share love, and how can I help besides this brownie recipe in bio link? 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋#ad

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 fe

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.

We watched a miracle in Palm Springs - my middle bro whose confidence + individual beat is contagious, decided to get married - & packed in all the specialties: a Jurassic like hike, brunch @wexlersdeli , and time with my favorite LA fam! 🌴🌴🌴

🌮🌮 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. 🥑🥑🥑
