snackin’
What’cha snackin’ on today? We’ve been munching through pounds of carrots. Plain, dipped in hummus, or cut into coins and popped like popcorn. So good. 12yo loves the yellow ones best lately.

loquat season again
Picked what I hope is my first of many batches today. Neighbor said that in his 40 years in the neighborhood, no one has ever asked about picking. What?!? As far as he knows, the squirrels and birds have been feasting at springtime for years. It is a HUGE tree and I have been granted full access. 🙂 Last year was a total wash for our loquat love (moving, crazy work schedule, drought, etc.), so […]
vegetarian eats to the south
We moved to Austin from Lakewood (in Dallas) about nine years ago, but it wasn’t ’til we moved South of the River (SOTR) that we decided Austin was for keeps. South Austin was home and we knew it the second we landed here – the quirk, the homegrown vibe, and its laid back attitude matched us perfectly. Explore some of our favorite vegetarian eats if you find yourself just SOTR or if you venture further into […]
vegetarian eats to the east
Although our family and personal lives are cemented south of the river, the East Side has become a nice extension of our life here in Austin. It’s where we headquartered our work life for two years and so we spent quite a bit of time lolligagging about in coffee shops and eating spots. We aren’t there during the work week as much these days, but make our way to our favorite spots whenever we can […]
neighborhood pecans
I’ve never followed pecan season very much, but may have to change my Autumn ways. These beautiful clusters are popping up all over the neighborhood. I see some salsa-for-pecan swaps in my future…
vegetarian eats downtown
There are oodles of places to eat downtown and honestly, the hardest thing is narrowing it down to favorites. I’ve pulled together a list of places that get thrown into the mix with some of my fave menu items from each. Happy eating! Koriente 621 E. 7th Love, love, love the Japchei – sweet potato noodles, fresh veggies and worth adding the tofu. The hummus role takes a close second. Backspace 507 San Jacinto I […]

saturday at the market
Picked up our CSA share today and we are stoked to have beets, carrots, turnips, sweet potatoes, spinach, broccoli, collards, cilantro, tomatoes and kohlrabi to cook with this coming week. Also… I got a new “toy” and it feels awesome to have an SLR in my hands again. The weight. The control. Took it out for its first whirl at the market today and am really excited about shooting food (and everything else in my […]
snacking on peas
World Peas was kind enough to gift me a sampling of their flavored green peas to taste. They arrived just in time for our picnicking weekend, but were immediately deemed “too flavorful” for the 10yo’s picky palate. Off to adult snack land they went! They’ve been living at the office for the past couple of weeks as daytime snacks and the BBQ flavor has won by leaps and bounds! One bag cleared. Mini-bag almost finished […]
