This story starts out on a rainy Sunday morning, curled up in bed dying for a basket of lemon poppy seed muffins. The subtle hint of lemon flavor in a buttery crumb, sprinkled with crunchy seeds and topped with a sweet lemon glaze. I ran out to the store, bundled in a hat and boots, and went in search of poppy seeds and lemons. Continue reading “Lemon Chia Seed Mini Muffins”
Every month for almost a year now, I’ve been going on and on about Degustabox, but I realized I’ve never fully shared a box with you or dedicated a post to explaining exactly what it is. Continue reading “An Introduction to Degustabox + A Giveaway!”

Legitimately everywhere I turn there is another engagement. Friends from my childhood, friends I just met in the past year, heck, people at restaurants where I’m eating – it is the season of wedding engagements and DIAMONDS!

Every time we stop into the liquor store to simply pick up a bottle of wine for dinner or a six pack for a party, he side-shuffles me into the whiskey aisle and spends a good 15 minutes perusing the shelves.

The huge foodie blog post is here – make sure you check it out!

What are some of your fave Houston spots to eat? Do y’all have any to-die-for Superbowl finger foods? I still don’t know what I’m going to do for the big game, but I know it will involve food!
Well, with the holidays being officially over (mine extending even longer than usual), I think it’s high time to focus on some diet changes again. Last year I did a little study on reducing my sugar intake. This year, I want to focus on getting exercise every day, even if it’s just a mile walk around the parking lot at work, as well as getting more nutrients from my food.
