Hunter Gatherer and Bday Desserts

Uncategorized

The weekend was lovely. I hadn’t really seen Matt in a while because of Key West and his weekend soccer tournament plus weekday travel for work. It was wonderful to go on a date! HG Supply has been on our list for quite some time, so we were both really excited to have dinner there. HG stands for hunter gatherer and the menu is Paleo-inspired; the food is simple and clean, and so was the space! I had a fabulous…

Pizza Friday & A Trinity Groves Outing

Cooking

Happy Monday! We’ve got freezing rain on the way here in Dallas:( I’m heading to the east coast tomorrow to visit my family, and I hope I can get out! For now, a recap of my weekend. Friday was cold and wet, so Matt and I opted to get cozy on the couch and not do a thing. We opened a bottle of Italian pinot grigio and watched Cloud Atlas, which was super weird. Loved Tom Hanks though! I made…

Grub, Origin, & Football

Uncategorized

Lots and lots of good eats and fun with friends with weekend! Friday was warm and beautiful outside, so I met my friend Liz and her new pug (!) for a drink on the patio at Common Table just as the sun was setting. I love dusk!     I had a hearty brown ale. Matt met up with us, and after saying goodbye to Liz, we continued on to dinner at new burger bar. Grub is in a bit of…

Thoughts from a Thursday

Life Ramblings

-I have to admit, I’m not that sad to see January go! -There’s nothing quite like a new jar of drippy almond butter. -Wolf of Wall Street is just insane. -I tried a new healthy fast food restaurant concept last night called Start. The space was cute and the food was great for ‘fast’ food. Mahi wrap with sweet tots: -My friend just adopted a pug, and now I kinda want one. -I love the Superbowl because it’s an excuse…

Friends at the Moth

Uncategorized

You guys are the best. People have been coming out of the woodwork since last week – I really appreciate the support! It was nice relaxing in Dallas this week – we had great weather and lots of good eats. Matt and I grabbed tacos at Mr. Mesero on Friday night. My pork and shrimp tacos were kinda boring, but I loved all the sides and the chips and salsa. I think Urban Taco is still the winner for cheap…

Weekend of Friends

Cooking

Yo, How’s it going out there? I had a rejuvenating weekend here in Dallas. We had temperatures in the 70’s and I got that feeling that spring is coming! It made me want to clean the house and shop, but then I remembered it was January and I did neither of those things. I had a girls date night with my friend Liz on Friday and we tried a new-to-me restaurant called La Duni. It’s a Latin cafe and the…

The Calm Before the Festivities

Happy Sunday that’s really a Wednesday! What are you guys up to for the holidays? This is like the first time in my entire life that I haven’t traveled and it’s so relaxing! Matt and I had a nice weekend with a mix of fun and prepping for our Christmas guests. After grabbing a beer at a local Irish pub on Friday, we came home and made dinner. I sipped on this begian dubbel while chopping brussels and baking some…

Spanish Feast

Travel

Hi! Happy eve of Thanksgiving. I’m writing from the plane, where I enjoyed a glass of merlot and a Whole Foods salad. I was in such a rush that I forgot the salad dressing though, so it was kinda gross. But the wine and all the food I’ll eat tomorrow will make up for it. We’re spending the holiday with Matt’s family outside of Annapolis and I’m pumped for four days of relaxation and family time, plus the Allens’ awesome…

Recap of Randomness

Cooking

It’s a dreary Monday here and we have a chance of winter weather! Exciting! I’m definitely getting into the holiday mood and I’m pumped to head to Matt’s house in Maryland for Thanksgiving. My jeans are getting a bit too tight though – I hate when that happens because then you know the damage is already done! Anyway, I lightened things up last week with two new meals – crockpot salsa chicken in the form of a taco salad and…
