Flatout Flat Bread Multi-Grain with Flax Review

I love bread, did I mention that already? I could live off of bread, seriously. But sometimes eating a very "bready" bread for lunch at work leaves me sleepy. I found this flat bread by Flatout at HEB this past week and caved in and bought it. I've seen this across a couple of health blogs lately and its macros are pretty good....

Houston: Ruggles Green (Citycentre Location)

I really don't like Citycentre. It's so crowded and it for some reason comes off as really touristy. I have nothing against touristy places, but for the first time, I can slightly understand the frustration some New Yorkers seem to have with tourists in their city. Just slightly. It can be frustrating to go out in your own city but...

100 Calorie Chocolate Pudding Recipe

So sometimes I overindulge a little bit and have to get creative with my macros to get back on track. In comes the gelatin-based chocolate pudding. I wanted a little indulgence that wasn't all carbs and fat and made some chocolate pudding with unsweetened coconut milk, cocoa powder, gelatin, stevia, and vanilla extract. This recipe is...

Califia Farms Cocoa Noir Cold Brew Coffee Almondmilk Review

I can't live without coffee. I don't think the world can turn without coffee. There is no life without coffee. I went to the Montrose Whole Foods Market yesterday to get some cold brew coffee when I saw coffee almondmilk by Califia Farms. I've seen these jugs of almondmilk coffee and people grab them off the shelves like their lives depend...

Houston: BAMBU Desserts & Drinks (Stafford Location)

Growing up on the Vietnamese dessert che, I have been meaning to try BAMBU. Che ranges from coconutty creamy desserts with beans to rock sugar-sweetened cold soups with a variety of asian fruits, agar jelly, and seaweed. It sounds weird but it's awesome. My favorite growing up was che dau trang (white bean che). Beans are very often used...

Houston: BlackFinn American Grille

Did I ever mention how much I love ahi tuna? I do. I am a sushi fan and my friend reminded me I'm the one who introduced her to sushi over a decade ago, pre-vegetarian-then-back-to-carnivore days. I tried the whole fish thing after becoming unvegetarian and I got so tired of it. With the exception of rare tuna. There's that thing of not...

Las Vegas: Payard Patisserie & Bistro

Wow. That is all I can say about this place. Just wow. On Saturday (05/10/2014), we went to Payard Patisserie & Bistro @ Caesar's Palace. We've been to the bakery before to buy desserts and coffee, but had never tried their restaurant or any of the savory menu items. We STILL have not tried their crepes, but I aim to next year. After...

Las Vegas - Ice Pan

I love matcha green tea. It's one of my favorite flavors. Matcha lattes, matcha ice cream, matcha cake, it really goes with any kind of dessert. Matcha works really well in creamy-type desserts. In this case, it was a cross between frozen yogurt and frozen milk. Ice Pan offers made-to-order ice cream using a base mixed with your choice...
