breakfast in austin

Getting breakfast on weekends is one of my favorite things ever to do with my one true love. We occasionally try new places, but we have a couple favorites we go back to over and over again.

Since everyone in the world is coming to Austin, I just wanted to give a hint about 3 places you should NOT get breakfast, since I would like to eat there peacefully as usual.

1. 24 Diner. I like to get waffles or the breakfast platter. The guy likes the 24 hash or chicken and waffles. (photo)

2. Kerbey Lane. I wish I could eat the whole breakfast menu in one sitting, plus some Kerbey queso. (photo)

3. Rudy’s. Breakfast tacos or pigs in a blanket. (photo)

not quite everything bagels

There is something so satisfying about kneading dough. Also, it is a great arm workout, especially after you just did an hour of yoga and have rubber band arms.

We made “everything” bagels. The guy was in charge of putting the holes in the bagels, and making the spices and such to go on top. We used salt, sesame seeds, and some minced garlic. It was our first time making bagels, and it wasn’t really that hard at all. We followed these directions mostly, and ours turned out really good. We ate them fresh with a little cream cheese. Bagelicious.

little heart pies

I found these little heart pies on sticks the other day. Does putting paper sticks in the oven scare anyone else? The guy was out of town this week, and I didn’t really feel like catching on fire while he was gone, so I decided to go stick-less with my version.

I followed the basic idea of the link. Pie crust cut into hearts. I used the jam filling from when I made these. I really think good pie dough baked with anything tastes like heaven. Next time, I think I will try rolling out the pie dough even thinner, and trying to use more filling. Maybe even an apple or pecan pie filling… I love that these are portable little pies. Its like I can take them everywhere with me.

apple time

Ya know how apple pie is really delicious? I could probably eat apple pie every day. But sometimes, you have no apple pie.

For a night snack when we have no apple pie, we cut apples into chunks, and add in some cinnamon and sugar. Basically apple pie filling. So simple and so good.

I love Hershey’s Kisses. They are super tasty, adorable, and you can save the little kiss labels and sneak them into places. And obviously, the Valentine color ones are already at the store! We are getting close to the season of kissing, so I made some kiss cookies for the guy. Don’t worry, he kissed the cook too.
