Confession time, I wanted everything on the menu but decided to get the Salmon with African Soul Fried Rice x Plantain. It had me speaking in Yums 🔥. I also had their housemade tea.

Yesterday was for the 10th Annual @HouBBQ Festival! If you like BBQ this is a must attend Houston event. It’s one of the best ways to try some of the best BBQ in the city all in one place! Added bonus, they always have top tier guest bbq joints from around the state in the mix 💥.
Congratulations and thank you to the creators @fulmerhou &  @jcreidtx on 10 amazing years .

👉They source locally
👉They now have a 2nd location in West University (Briargrove is the original)
👉The Chicken Bowl w/ Lebanese Rice is my favorite.
👉 Spicy Aioli & The Hot Sauce please

My love for them goes deep, and many others feel the same way, because they love on their guest as if we are apart of the family 🦋. It’s cool when folks visit and they report back to me how much they loved the food and how the owners and associates made them feel 🙃.

Spring is coming and I’m so excited that I will Spring is coming and I’m so excited that I will be learning gardening and all things chickens from my cousin🤸🏾🤸🏾🤸🏾. She is such a baddie and can do anything 😍. Our own Marta Stewart (the Spanish version of Martha minus the conviction).
She is going to let me bug her and also help build my raised bed garden💥. I want 2, but think it’s wise to start out with just 1 based on my skills 🤪. They have a nice sized farm between the bees, chickens, all the gardens, butterflies, and I know they’re something else I’m missing.
👉 Did I mention that bee farm is a tiny honey bee farm that produces some of the most amazing honey in the city! Give the page a follow so you can get your hands on some @cypresshoneybeefarm (another day of giving y’all gems) ❤️.

Ice Cream has been having a moment, well let me sa Ice Cream has been having a moment, well let me say artisanal ice cream has been having a moment for the last several years👏👏👏! Which has given our city some pretty tasty choices 🌟. Today’s pick and share is @vanleeuwenicecream. They have 3 Houston locations, and my favorite is the one in the @montrosecollective (giving y’all gems today, you better pick them up). They always have cool and crazy flavors (I’m not going to hold that Ranch Dressing flavor against them 🤨) that usually taste pretty damn good!
I also love the fact that they have an offering for folks that are vegan or that want ice cream-inspired treats.
⠀
💥Have you tried Van Leeuwen what’s your favorite favor?

I often say I’m not a big pizza lover. Meaning, I often say I’m not a big pizza lover. Meaning, I like pizza, but if given the choice between pizza and say Tex-Mex I’m going Tex-Mex. So, nothing against pizza, it’s just not my first love. However, when I do crave it, @pizaros_pizza is one of my go to spots ❤️. #GetSome
