What I made for dinner: a photo dump. 1. Cheeseburger gnocchi, highly recommend 2. Mostly vegetarian crunch wrap supreme, needs tweaking 3. Eggplant involtini, an ode to summer #photodump #dinneredition #cheeseburgergnocchi #homemadecrunchwrap #eggplantinvoltini #ricottaforever https://www.instagram.com/p/CUTv3wRLxV8/?utm_medium=tumblr

Y'all aren't going to believe what my husband picked up for dinner tonight. Smoked filet mignon. And there's more: baked potato with the all the fixings, baked beans, mac and cheese, and brisket that we shared. All together it was one of the best meals that I've had in a long time. The only thing I regret is not going to @jubes_smokehouse sooner. They're food is incredible and definitely going in the top rotation of our favorite restaurants. Also, they might have the best brisket in Ft. Worth. Feel free to go get some and tell me I'm wrong. #jubessmokehouse #smokedfiletmignon #brisket #bakedbeans #bakedpotato #macandcheese #bestbrisket #bestmeal #supportlocalrestaurants #eatlocaleatwell (at Jube's Smokehouse) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQC1Wfxnmb3/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today is the last day to join in on the @shinjukufw anniversary celebration. Here are a few reasons why you should go today or any day you find yourself on Magnolia hankering for sushi: 1) they have some of the best sushi in town 2) the wait staff and chefs are amazing and 3) they also have bomb drinks and appetizers. Now feast your eyes on our dinner and be amazed! #shinjukustationfortworth #itsaparty #honeysrirachakarage #sushirolls #susukiroll #sakeroll #allthespicytemaki #hamachizestgarlicroll Notes: always order Tok fries, and if you love garlic, get the hamachi zest garlic roll.

We made it through that yearly frustration that is tax filing, so we treated ourselves to some sweet patio time at @beardedladyfw. Had a couple of beers and chowed down on some fried pickled okra and sammies. Bonus, dog sightings and people watching. #taxesdone #beersareago #patiotime #thebeardedlady #friedpickledokra #lobstermacsammy #bbqjackfruitsandwich (at The Bearded Lady) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNgUiDRHXKH/?igshid=1plg8spjae1sn

I can't wait for the next time we get to get our weekly takeout because I have found my new favorite spot! Y'all need to check out @compatibledelights. This is some of the best vegetarian food I've ever had. We were so lucky to catch them for Taco Tuesday. Tacos were bomb. Nachos were bomb. I'm even still thinking about their side of rice! *sigh* the flavors, y'all...So good! Definitely give them a follow to get that good food too and catch them at @the_dock_bookshop. #pandemictakeoutchronicles #compatibledelights #ftworthfood #ftworthvegetarianfoodoption #supportlocal #eatlocaleatwell (at The Dock Bookshop & Dock Community) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNJYSAPHINK/?igshid=1m3x4uy91scu8

Had some milk that was going to expire soon, so I made biscuits. I know I didn't make them in a cast iron skillet (I only have a grill pan and a baby cast iron), but improvising with this butter swim biscuit recipe was worth it. "All the ingredients point to tasty," said my husband. And yes, they're as tasty as they look. I then made a fried egg this morning to put over a biscuit with grated aged cheddar and black pepper. 10/10; will bake again. #snowpocalypsebaking #butterswimbiscuits #biscuits #nocastironskilletnoproblem #biscuitbreakfast #friedegg #agedcheddar #freshgroundpepper https://www.instagram.com/p/CLZwsBkHqkY/?igshid=eoozec5bnj1j

Haven't done this in a long time: a real day off, getting out, and drinking beer at a local brewery. Maple Branch has a great beirgarten with lots of space and umbrellas over the tables, which will be great in the summer. We were the only ones there with another couple, so definitely felt safe to imbibe. Their beer selection was *chef kiss* and definitely splurged on a pretzel. 10/10 #dayout #socialdistancingbutwithbeer #localbeergarden #localbeertastesbetter #maplebranchcraftbrewery #beerflight #islandtimesourgose (at Maple Branch Craft Brewery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKraDwUn31q/?igshid=1bcne65bmvb0g

It's a Chismukkah dinner! The crabcakes aren't made from scratch. Costco helped with that. But we made the hollandaise and the latkes, which are topped with vegan sour cream and truffle whitefish caviar. #chrismukkahdinner #crabcakes #hollandaisesauce #latkes #vegansourcream #trufflewhitefishcaviar https://www.instagram.com/p/CJPrFQLnE4C/?igshid=wv1ly08v50l0

As much as I'm grateful for tamales, I'm even more grateful for the people who share tamales so that I don't have to make them. I hope you find things to be grateful for during this wild holiday season. #doublyblessed #grateful #gratefulfortamales #gratefulforgenerousfriends #merrychristmas #christmasevedinner https://www.instagram.com/p/CJNOxc1H5CE/?igshid=ygpfawxymx4m

We finally got our hands on these gorgeous empanadas, and they are so good, y'all! Check out their special empanada for the day. You can't go wrong ordering ham & cheese, caprese, spinach, or the more traditional Argentine empanadas either. And don't pass on desert! The puff pastry is perfection. Can't wait to order and try more! 5 stars!

Quarantine cooking and takeout update: It's fall, y'all! Lots of good eating, especially when Cane Rosso comes out with a new pizza. It's the little sweet peppers for me. #stuffedacornsquash #localsourdough #thetableftw #friedeggavocadotoast #canerosso #trufflecarbonara #burrata #thetailgatepizza #butternutsquashlinguine #withbacon #eggface #breakfasttacos #happytacoday https://www.instagram.com/p/CF-WYLZHQxJ/?igshid=seq6muk59sa4

Quarantine cooking and takeout update: I got a cookie scoop, and I love it! We made our own pizookie with the last of the dough. As much as we're cooking, we try and take a break and support our favorite local restaurants, especially on rainy days when you need pho or craving good Mexican food. #peanutbutterandchocolatechipcookies #homemadepizookie #bundongbavietnamesenoodlehouse #pho #homemadepadthai #extrapeanutsauce #brisketmacandcheese #boulevardbrewing #cherrylimeradler #mariachisdinein #sopes #elote https://www.instagram.com/p/CFXfHE4nI3E/?igshid=vo86bsy1l5dq

It's great to go back to the farmer's market. The weather has been cooler, and since everyone has to wear a mask, I felt pretty comfortable getting out today. And I'm very excited about our haul. #clearforkfarmersmarket #supportyourlocalfarmersmarket #uncleronsbeefjerky #allthebeefjerky #stonesthrowfarmco #zuchinni #okra #agiantsweetpotato #thaibasil #dryadgrovemushroomfarm #elmoystermushrooms #bluekingmushroom #muchexcite (at The Clearfork Farmers Market) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFU189tnY20/?igshid=1ek6eeej2dfjv

Made a long detour after work for some really tasty vegan food. I don't know which I enjoyed more. The crunch wrap and the stuff avocado were amazing. If you're ever in Dallas, you gotta get some. This place is hella popular, so get comfy 'cause there'll probably be a bit of a wait. Five stars! #veganvibrationz #vegancrunchwrapsupreme #vegancajunshrimpstuffedavocado #localveganfood #supportlocalbusiness #supportlocalrestaurants #supportblackownedrestaurants (at Recipe Oak Cliff) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFDo7wCngHG/?igshid=gk0rnb9lqllw
