This weekend, we’re kicking things off at a rodeo in San Antonio, where they’re serving up satisfying bites of Southern Bread Pudding drizzled with Bourbon Cream Sauce. Then we find our “happy place” in Houston at a Mediterranean joint specializing in juicy kebabs and warm pita bread. Finally, we bite into big Kobe beef burgers and savory Ahi Tuna Crudo with Hibiscus-Soy Vinaigrette at a standout Austin restaurant. Watch the full episode trailer HERE!

Tanji’s Wine Finds: La Crema Monterey Pinot Noir

La Crema Pinot Noir ($16) is an incredibly versatile wine. The medium-bodied red is grown in Monterey, California, where the sea breeze and generally cool climate allow grapes to stay on the vine for longer. The result is complex and balanced, with strong notes of ripe red fruits. Purchase a bottle or two at your local H-E-B today and enjoy during your next pizza night using our Basic Pizza Dough as your base.

This quinoa salad courtesy of Hungry’s Cafe is the definition of “feel-good food.” If you follow this recipe to a tee, you’ll get a healthy serving of organic veggies and tons of flavor from a rockin’ roasted garlic vinaigrette. We recommend topping the whole thing with pan-seared shrimp. You can also easily sub in different seasonal vegetables, herbs, and even grains. Get the recipe HERE.
