Make This Now: Peanut Butter Banana Bread |
|
We tested and tested this banana bread until we got it just right! And boy, this recipe is a winner. The peanut butter (or almond butter!) adds a subtle nuttiness and gives the loaf a super-moist, tender crumb. It’s a must-make for brunch this weekend. Get the recipe HERE. |

Did Someone Say Breakfast Wine? |
|
Wine for breakfast? You betcha! But there’s definitely an art to choosing which bottles you’ll uncork before noon—think fizzy and refreshing, fruit-forward, and low in alcohol. Lucky for you, we’ve already selected some of our brunch favorites. Check out our a.m. wine finds HERE. |

Tanji’s Dine Finds: a'Bouzy |
|
If you’re in the mood to celebrate, visit a’Bouzy in Houston! This French-inspired restaurant is all about Champagne—in fact, they have over 250 bottles on their menu! The moules frites are also a stand-out. They’re served in a large cast iron pot in a buttery white wine bath with fresh basil and crispy fries piled on top. It’s one of Tanji’s favorite dishes in town! Plan your visit now or learn how to make them at home HERE. |
