#103 Go to Yogurt Planet

Frozen yogurt in the winter sounds crazy, but go to Yogurt Planet and realize it’s the furthest thing from crazy.  This place off of 45th and Lamar is a little piece of heaven on earth for yogurt lovers.  My roommate and I went there tonight and it was so good!
The whole concept of this place [...]

#99 Enjoy A Fall Picnic

I love the fall. The leaves start turning colors along branches and streets. The air starts to smell from the aroma of burning wood in fireplaces. We get to trade in our flip flops and bikinis for fuzzy boots and scarves. It’s the perfect medium between summer and winter. 
 
 
While the weather’s warm, I love to [...]

#93 Learn to Cook Something

As I was working out the other day, I started flipping through the channels (incorrectly thinking it would make the time go by faster,) and I ran across Rachael Ray’s show.  I don’t normally watch this show, but something caught my eye.  Rosie O’Donnell was a guest and she was claiming that she only knew [...]

#85 Eat Chipotle (the chili, not the chain!)

I once read in a class that Pre-Columbian populations used to put a lot of chili in their diet. Like today that we have the food pyramid, their food intake was based on corn (maize), beans and chili to get all the nutrients they needed.
Chili has many nutritious properties. They are rich in vitamins and [...]

#78 Eat at Five Guys Burgers and Fries

OK. I know at this point you may be sick of the restaurant recommendations, but since a comment on my In-N-Out post mentioned Five Guys and a week later I got a flier in the mail for the brand new one on Guadalupe, I had to tell y’all about it.

I went last weekend to try [...]

#75 Try Tofurkey

For picky eaters, the approaching holiday season can be an exciting, yet terrifying time. If you aren’t a big fan of meat, nuts, or vegetables (like myself) then you may be… um… screwed. Is it just me, or have any of you left the Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner table, and then proceeded to the nearest [...]

#73 Eat at the Salt Lick

This post really goes out to our blog audience outside of the UT and Austin realm because hopefully most locals know about the wonder that is… The Salt Lick. If you don’t, you’re missing out and should immediately get yourself in the car, drive to Driftwood, Texas, ask for a heapin’ plate of barbecue and [...]

#44 Grill It!

Grilling gains the majority of its fame during the summer months, but in my upbringing, the grill is a family fixture. I love everything from chicken breasts, shishkabobs, salmon, flank steak, or grilled veggies. To me, grilling makes everything better.
Today, I had the fortune of having a guest griller at the house. We cooked up [...]

#43 Eat at Jason’s Deli

But you have to call it J-Del! This is someone that my roommates and I take part in weekly, and sometimes bi-weekly if possible! Jason’s Deli has been a huge part of my life throughout my three years in Austin and I am so greatful that it’s a chain so I can enjoy it when [...]

#36 Eat an In-N-Out Burger

In the fast food nation that we live in the burger has become one of America’s oldest past times. Up there with apple pie, finding a good burger can be a lifelong quest.
The burger is something that can vary greatly in price, quality, ingredients and even style. From the value meal at Wendy’s to the [...]
