Fluffy Vegan Pancakes

On Sunday’s I crave pancakes. Since I had no eggs at home I decided to look for a vegan recipe. I was willing to use some apple sauce since I had a couple of them. Surprisingly there was no need. I looked up the recipe and was shocked when reading the ingredients. I had them all in my pantry!

Healthy Banana Bread [Eat]

I hate when any of my food goes to waste, especially fruit! I had 2 ripe bananas and some greek yogurt so I looked up a recipe for healthy banana bread. I also had recently bought some whole wheat flour from Trader Joe's and wanted to see how it tastes.

Easy Tiger [Eat]

The past weekend I went to Austin to visit my sister-in-law. She suggested having brunch on Sunday at Easy Tiger since she lives right around the corner. She had mentioned this place before and when visiting San Antonio she brought a baguette from there.

Cilantro Coconut Shrimp and Broccoli- Instant Pot [Eat]

A while back I was looking for a crockpot and my husband very kindly bought be an Instant Pot, which is more of a pressure cooker. I was a bit disappointed because it had so many settings and all I wanted was a simple old crockpot with high, low and warm settings. My husband's uncle gifted us a crockpot and I was very happy! After a few years, I rediscovered the Instant Pot and started learning more about it and now I am in love. Now, I want to cook absolutely everything in it!

Guillermo's [Eat]

My husband invited me to lunch last week, he suggested several places near my office one being Guillermo's. He always swears by one of his coworker's recommendation, which is pretty accurate, most of the times. I've passed through that place so many times and I was always curious to stop by, but never did.

Barbaro [Eat]

Two weeks ago I had brunch with my cousin at Barbaro. I had no clue what to expect, but I have heard good things about this place. The place looks vintage and super cute! I loved the atmosphere. There was only one waiter and you can imagine the service was a bit slow.

Moshe's Golden Falafel [Eat]

I have been to this place like about 4 times and it never disappoints me. My cousin, which happens to be vegetarian wanted to go out for lunch, so I suggested Moshe's. She wanted Grimaldi's (which is amazing too) but since Moshe's is only open until 3pm it is harder to go than Grimaldis.

Vegetarian Pozole Verde [Eat]

Since I have been craving soups lately, I decided to look for a vegetarian pozole recipe. You see, my favorite pozole is the green one because the tomatillos give it a tart flavor, which I love. Plus according to my Mom, you can basically add all the green veggies you have in your fridge, including peppers, spinach, lettuce, cilantro, kale, etc. That sounds like tons of vitamins and pretty healthy.

Botika: Peruvian-Asian Fusion [Eat]

After trying Chef Jose Andres', restaurant China Chilcano during my trip to D.C. I was craving those amazing Peruvian-Asian fusion flavors so much. I started thinking if there is anything similar here in San Antonio, and then I remembered Botika!

Banana Oatmeal Cookies [Eat] Vegan Friendly

During the week I try to go to the gym in the mornings. I usually make sure to have everything ready the night before and sleep as much as I can. I pack my breakfast and lunch, but sometimes I don't have time. This is when these Banana Oatmeal breakfast cookies come in handy.

The Granary Cue & Brew [Eat]

I had lunch at the Granary a few weeks ago. I was there with my coworkers. We ordered a few items to share in the middle. They ordered beans, potato salad, brisket, pulled pork, turkey, and salad (for the vegan folks). I had been there before but I do not remember being so delicious.

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.

Lentils for Lent [Eat]

I can't believe Lent starts so early this year, the same day as Valentine's!  That means meatless Fridays. Although I have mentioned before that my diet is 80/20; 80% vegetarian and 20% eat whatever I want. 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.

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).

The Most Unique Restaurant in Puerto Vallarta [Eat & Travel]

During my bachelorette trip, my MOH made reservations at this super cool restaurant called "La Leche" which means "The Milk". This place is one of the most unique restaurants I have ever been to. Everything inside is white, like milk. The decorations are minimalist and contemporary which gives this place a chic and trendy atmosphere.
