Vegan Rice Crispy Treats [Eat]

I can't believe 4th of July is upon us. I have the perfect recipe for whether you are hosting or going to a party. This is the most simple recipe ever. The trick is finding vegan marshmallows. As you may know, marshmallows contain gelatine. Gelatine is made from animal bones and collagen, the most common source being pigskin. That sounds a bit gross, even though I love taquitos al pastor!

Brunching at Cappy's [Eat]

Last weekend was fiesta and if you live in San Antonio, you know that it is a big deal! The city shuts down and we all party! Well, I had a very eventful weekend with my husband, family, and friends. On Friday, we were all off from work and headed to the cactus show at the Botanical Gardens. After that we headed to La Fonda had a couple of margaritas and had a delicious lunch. I wish I would've taken better pictures, but I was having so much fun with my mother in law, aunt, and hubby that I missed the opportunity of taking any good pics. Well, I know I am making this a long story, but La Fonda and Cappy's are owned by the same family, and they are both delicious.

Burgerteca [Eat]

A few weeks ago my coworkers and I decided to try out Burgerteca. One of them read a bad review from the SA Express-News, so instead of not going, we decided to judge it by ourselves. Hey, there is no bad publicity.

Sometimes I have no idea what to cook, so I like to share with you guys all the meals that I have mastered and that you can make during Lent.

Black and Pearls to Start the Year [Steal]

I am starting this 2018 wearing all black! I love wearing cozy sweaters during winter rather than layering up like an onion. I bought this cute balloon sleeve sweater at Boohoo.

Vegan Poblano Mac and Cheese [Eat]

I have been trying to eat healthier by having a vegetarian/vegan diet during the week and allowing myself to eat animal products during the weekends. Also, I started cooking more, maybe because I got awesome wedding gifts for my kitchen. The deal is that we are having a Thanksgiving potluck at work and one of my coworkers is vegan (he doesn't eat any animal product, not even honey).
