Wednesday night I had the pleasure of going to see Alton Brown Live! The Edible Inevitable Tour at ACL Live's Moody Theatre - the filming location for the famous Austin City Limits Live TV show. I must admit, I was a little skeptical. I didn't pay...
Can you believe another year has come and gone? And more importantly, that Christmas is already over?! Don't judge me, but I've always enjoyed Christmas Eve more than Christmas Day. Christmas Day is so final. There is over a month of build up and while Christmas...
I realized a couple weeks ago that I talk a lot about my love of disco dust but follow through very little on it with the recipes I post here. As I looked through my archives, it became clear that there are almost no recipes...
Did everybody have a good weekend? I know it's Tuesday and I'm a little late, but hey - I care! I went to my first Longhorn Football game of the season on Saturday! I was SO PUMPED to go. Unfortunately the boys didn't show up nearly...

Speaking of, back in the good-ole college days we always went to P.F. Chang's for Sheila's celebratory birthday...
This Lime Layer Cake with Mango Buttercream came into creation because I had a couple mangoes in the refrigerator that were on their last legs. While trying to brainstorm mango recipe ideas, I couldn't get mango margaritas out of my head. Maybe it's because they're...
I've got so much honey, the bees envy me. Central Texas Wildflower Honey, that is. But we'll get to that in a minute. I absolutely love simplicity in my food.
