I will if you will…   I’ve been to Moxie’s Grill & Bar four times, and this is the first time I remembered to take a photo by this IG worthy wall. My mind is always focused on getting a great food shot that I forget I want a photo of myself, too. When you… Continue reading Moxie’s Grill & Bar

Houston is home to the only Aqua S in North America, and that’s pretty freakin’ awesome. Aqua S in Sydney has been on my foodie bucket list for the last three years. Ever since I saw that blue soft serve tip peaking out of a cloud of fairy floss on Instagram, I lusted for it… Continue reading Aqua S

The same dish, but lifted and with a brussels sprouts hat. Loved the thick, chewy noodles. Nancy’s Hustle

I went to Nancy’s Hustle in EaDo last weekend for dinner on Easter Sunday, and it was fantastic. I called to make sure they were open, and the gentleman on the phone suggested I make a reservation. Whutttt, I had no idea they took reservations. Paul and I had been wanting to eat there, and… Continue reading Nancy’s Hustle

Fig & Olive has come to Houston! They are located inside the Galleria (near Saks Fifth Avenue) in an open and beautiful space. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by a gorgeous bar to your left.   Lots of natural light in this lovely restaurant.     The weather in Houston was… Continue reading Fig & Olive

One of my favorite places for sushi in Houston is Kata Robata. I love their selection of fresh, buttery fish. When you are seated at Kata (we usually try to get a spot at the sushi counter across from Chef Hori), the first page of the menu will have that day’s featured drinks, dishes, sushi, and… Continue reading Kata Robata

Houston was put through hell last week. Homes were destroyed, lives were lost, and water still covers parts of the city right now. I heard a lot of stories from friends on their terrifying experiences during the storm.. watching the water slowly rise from the ground up to their chest within only a couple hours,… Continue reading Hurricane Harvey

🌷New Spring Specials at @vanleeuwenicecream 🍃
Now scooping at a shop near you from now until June 1 or while supplies last!

🍦🍟 Milkshake & Fries - Malted Milkshake ice cream mixed with french fry pieces made with Idaho potatoes

🍪🥨 All The Cookies - A remix of a recent favorite. Sweet cream ice cream with a caramel swirl, speculaas cookies, pretzels, toffee pieces, yellow cake, gingerbread cookies and oat clusters

🌍 Vegan Planet Earth - Blue spirulina and amaretto ice cream with pieces of housemade matcha cake

🍓 Very Berry Sorbet - Raspberry & strawberry sorbet

I got a scoop of the Milkshake & Fries and All the Cookies. The Milkshake & Fries really do taste like fries dipped in a vanilla milkshake. If you’re a fan of that you’ll def love this limited flavor. And the All the Cookies tasted like all your favorite cookies crushed into a ball of ice cream (I loved it)! Which flavor are you checking out?

Date night last weekend at @guardandgracehouston ✨
Guard and Grace is one of our favorite restaurants— their service is outstanding and the atmosphere always feels so welcoming. The food is amazing— we love their steaks and seafood. What we ordered: House Made Potato Rolls (complimentary), Oak Fired Octopus, Brûléed Bone Marrow & Beef Tartare, Dry Aged NY Strip, Texas Redfish on the Halfshell, Crispy Brussels Sprouts, Chipotle Lime Smashed Potatoes, Brownie Sundae Skillet (off menu), Chocolate Luxardo Cherry Cheesecake, and two mocktails for me. The NY Strip had a perfect chew and flavor, and the grilled Redfish was so buttery and delicious. We LOVE their Sticky Toffee Cake and Strawberry Shortcake, but we opted for two new desserts we hadn’t yet tried, and they were decadent! The cheesecake was so soft and creamy, and the brownie sundae felt like a sweet warm hug. Save this post for your next special occasion or date night!

If you have kids, definitely bring them here— the restaurant is filled with all sorts of fun distractions and they even have a big arcade room. The food is great, and the staff is so nice!

Much of their proceeds are donated to Texas Children’s Hospital, in memory of their son.
