Bites of My Life

After getting back into Dallas after starting the week still in OKC, it was a quick week before heading to Corpus Christi for a wedding weekend. The weekends have been full and continue to be the next few weeks. Which in turn makes the weeks short and busy. All for good reason! I’m coming off the most fun weekend and trying to get my head on straight. After indulging in shrimp tacos for about every meal, getting my cardio in on the dance floor (my feet are unwell), and drinking errrr too many ranch waters than I should those Sunday scaries turned into a manic Monday…

We are good, we are happy, we are ready for a new week. I have a recipe post containing…shrimp lol, and later this week is the 8th birthday for Take A Bite!

-Stuck around OKC last Monday to help set up for a work event. How cute did these custom Topo Chico labels come out that I did for the party?
-Got my vaccine!!! And treated myself after to my favorite matcha on my way out of Oklahoma City en route back to Dallas.
-You cannot beat S&D Oyster Company for a classic Dallas meal. One of my favorites!
-Showed up to a fun shopping event Thursday night fully twinning x2!
-Arrived in Corpus Christi Friday for a wedding weekend!
-Hotel breakfast buffets, truly what is better? Snagged a box of mini Cherrio’s for my purse.
-One last shrimp taco before leaving the ~ sparkling city by the sea ~.
-Congrats Jack and Kathleen. Thanks for a reason to be on a dance floor again!
-Sunday scaries cured with Mia’s brisket Tacos. They lived up to The Defined Dish’s hype!

Bites of My Life

What a JOY to think how far we’ve come in a year. Putting myself in my shoes at last year’s Easter, it was crazy to imagine that Covid would still be a part of our daily lives, but once that became a reality, it feels good to have had a relatively normal holiday this year. I’m getting my vaccine on Tuesday and I’m psyched. The light at the end of the tunnel is bright!! Thank you Jesus for science.

It was such a great weekend with all of my fam, friends, and multiple Easter egg hunts. Oh and soooo many delicious eats. Birthday cake, brandy ices, truffle potato jackets, cheese grits, smoked ham, and key lime pie to name a few. I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!

-Had a hankering for the Indian Spiced Cauliflower from Flower Child, turns out it’s leaving the menu soon so the craving really set in. Opted for the Mother Earth Bowl, sub sweet potatoes for Indian Spiced cauli and much to my dismay I got home to realize they gave me plain old steamed cauli. Fumes!! But the FC angels credited my account, so you better believe ISC (Indian spiced cauliflower) is happening this week.
-Helen is a hoot! Got to grab coffee with the Blender Bomb founder herself!
-Exhibit A of 80x20. 80% croissant 20% blender bar ;).
-Got to OKC for Easter, and kicked off the weekend checking into the Bradford House to celebrate a very special 30th birthday. HBD Jillian!
-The Texas-based and coveted seltzers, Ranch Riders are offish in the Oklahoma market. Check here to see who is carrying them!
-Bradford House with the sneaky Brandy Ice flex. They were delicious and strong and made me hungover :)
-The whole family got to be in town to witness and endure back-to-back Easter egg hunts. Elle is a hunting professional and I’ve never been more proud.
-Brought veggies to Easter brunch…no one is surprised.
-Also brought my Key Lime Pie that continues to reign supreme!
