What We’re Drinking: French "77"

This sparkling cocktail from the Toulouse Cafe and Bar in Austin is a playful spin on a classic French 75. Served in a stout coupe glass instead of a tall champagne flute, elderflower liqueur, grapefruit and lemon juice are shaken, strained and then topped with bubbly Prosecco. Get the recipe HERE!

Clear Your Plate!

This weekend, we pay a visit to one of my favorite neighborhood bakeries in San Antonio: BIRD Bakery. We dig into the enormous Monster Cookie that’s packed with peanut butter, hearty oats and chunks of chocolate. Next, we head to the Texas Honey Ham Company in Austin for you guessed it… sizzling honey-glazed ham! One of my favorite dishes? The hearty Hambone Soup made with seven varieties of beans simmered in an unctuous whole ham bone broth! Lastly, we stop in Houston at the bustling breakfast joint, Pecan Creek Grille. Don’t skip the over-the-top eggs and housemade chorizo sausage served with all the fixings. You do not want to miss any of it!
