{Weekend}

Hey Austin, I've been doing a little exploring and with this triple digit Texas heat, it feels nice to wander in and out of (air conditioned) shops. It feels even nicer if there are cold drinks involved:)

Among the snapshots of my weekend, I discovered a couple South Lamar gems...

• Mockingbird Domestics...This store is a great place to get inspired by local artists. Most of the items are a bit out of my price range, but the hand-made furniture is stunning.
• Henri's Cheese, Wine & Charcuterie...This quaint little cafe had me at cheese:) They serve lunch and offer cheese and wine into the evening hours. This is a must-try spot! Not to mention the funky Austin interior vibes...those pendants (above) had me drooling. 

Also, meet my hunky boyfriend Doug, bestie Andrea (name twins) and her sweet pup BRUCE! We were busy with fixer upper projects, fresh basil recipes and sunset trail walks.  I hope you had a lovely weekend as well!

Cheers.

Go FRESH!

 

Saturday morning ritual:)

Apple pie cookie...how cute!

Check out Princess & Moose's Sister Bakery , they're busy "Keeping Austin Sweet".

Here's an easy snack or breakfast idea...

Apples with almond butter, honey and chia seeds. SO good.

I wanted to encourage you guys to check out your local farmer's markets. Not only is it a great place to get your fresh produce, it's FUN! I'm a bit of an early bird on the weekends because I want to soak up all my free time, so if you're like me, this is the perfect morning adventure. Usually, I head straight for the coffee/tea tent then my search for the tastiest breakfast begins. The free tastings are a plus...they usually include; fresh cheeses, meats, veggies, fruits/jams, kombucha and much more! Also, you are bound to encounter some live music and cute kiddos dancing...what's not to love?:)

Below are a few of the markets in the Austin area:

• Barton Creek Farmer's Market
• Sustainable Food Center (SFC) Farmer's Market
• Beecave Farmer's Market

...find more here!

I can't think of a better way to spend my Saturday morning. Let me know what you love about your farmer's market!
