There is no doubt in my mind that Texas is one of the best places to eat. I’ve traveled the world and tasted many cuisines but nothing beats what Texas has to offer. Texas foods are often known for the comfort they bring us. I mean, who doesn’t feel all warm and fuzzy after eating a bowl of beans and cornbread?

I asked a handful of people “what is the first thing that comes to mind when I say ‘Texas Cuisine’?” A majority of those people said barbecue. Then there are people like my sister (who thinks just like me) that said “salsa”.

I tried my best to sway away from all Mexican food in this post but it was nearly impossible so I added some great queso suggestions below.  For the love of food, let’s take a look into some Texas cuisine that is located here in Dallas.

One of the most classic Texas foods is Fried Chicken. It might be one of the perfect meals anyone could ever want, especially if it’s paired with some fried veggies!

Some of the Best Fried Chicken in Dallas:

  • Clark Food & Wine
  • Babe’s Chicken Dinner House
  • Norma’s Cafe
  • Jonathan’s Oak Cliff

The Margarita Machine was invented in Dallas, so obviously Margaritas has to be on the list. Even though it’s not in the ‘food’ group, it is definitely a staple that needed to be recognized.

  • Mariano’s Tex-Mex
  • Mi Cocina
  • Meso Maya
  • San Salvaje
  • Gloria’s

You know I couldn’t have a list of Texas food without adding Queso. I love queso almost as much as I love chips and salsa and I know that everyone feels the same way! How could you NOT love a big bowl of cheese? Add some beef and toppings with the queso and I’m in Heaven!

What type of list would this by without some great Barbecue recommendations? Dallas has more than a handful of great places to chow down on BBQ that you don’t want to miss.

Some of the Best Barbecue Joints in Dallas:

  • Pecan Lodge
  • Off the Bone
  • Slow Bone

No meal is complete without some sweets, so anytime possible I opt for homemade pie. 

Emporium Pies

  • Emporium Pies
  • Peggy Sue BBQ
  • Mama’s Daughters Diner

If you want the perfect meal, just add all of the listed items together and don’t forget an ice cold Dr. Pepper or some sweet tea.

One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesse One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesses adapting and making things work! I was recently introduced to @savageburritos and I'm in love.  Savage Burritos is the love child of Uncle Julios so it you like UJ, you'll love Savage.  They are a delivery only service offering burritos and bowls from select Uncle Julio kitchens in DFW.

I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

I wanted to send a quick thank you for all the birthday love yesterday! Birthdays are not my favorite day but it was nice to hear from so many people. Here's to another year around the sun ❤
This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
