- Our Typical Spicy Pickle Meal
- Whether it is lunch or dinner, we're pretty much creatures of habit when we go to Spicy Pickle ... I usually get the Bastille, no sprouts. Bastille: Portobello mushrooms, roasted red peppers, provolone, red onions, tomatoes, alfalfa sprouts and...

- Carlos & Charlies!
- If you live in Austin you've probably heard the radio commercials for Carlos & Charlies out on Lake Travis. Every time it comes on, I shout in my best accent along with the commercial, Carlos & Charlies!!! I can't help...

- Pac-Man Waffles
- Dan and I had full size waffles but knowing that my son can't eat a full waffle and that there wasn't enough batter to make a full one, we decided to make it fun. What do you do when you don't have enough batter to make a full waffle? Make...

- Rain Forrest Cafe - San Antonio
- Gaetano learned all about the Alamo in 4th grade and has mentioned a few times that he wanted to go there. So we figured that we'd make the last couple of days of our honeymoon family time and surprise him with a day trip to San Antonio. It took us...

- I've lost 51 Pounds!
- Just in time for the wedding, I've lost 51 pounds total! Dan is looking good too; he's lost 18 pounds total. We began losing weight in April 2009, so it's been just a little over a year. Dan hasn't really been trying to lose weight like I have...

- Our Wedding Day
- We shared our favorite sweets and beverages with our closest family and friends at on our wedding day. Dinner was delicious too, but it was just the best choice our caterer offered and not something special to us. The facility that hosted our...

- The Rehearsal Dinner
- After an hour and a half of rehearsing for the wedding, we came back to our house for dinner. We figured it'd be a hole lot more inexpensive, relaxed, and enjoyable to do it at home rather than at a busy restaurant. Ambrogio prepared two trays of...

- Bess Friends at Best Bistro - Strike that; reverse it!
- Before going to pick up my wedding gown, Evelina and I went to Bess Bistro (owned by Sandra Bullock) for lunch. She's a Sandra Bullock fan (and so am I), so I wanted to be sure she got to visit before leaving town. I had the Smoked Turkey and Gouda...

- Vivo - A fun night out
- The food at Vivo was so good, but the lighting wasn't good for my iPhone so I only have a few pictures to share. That's okay though, the drinks and dessert were gorgeous... Evelina (my BFF) had a strawberry Margarita, I had a Raspberry...

- WholeFoods - Sushi on the Go
- When we're in a hurry and we're at or near WholeFoods, I like to pick up a to-go container of sushi. Today I chose tuna because it was so red and fresh looking I couldn't resist. It was absolutely delicious. Gaetano had a Volcano Roll, which I...
