New Orleans saw an incredible 10 inches of snow, breaking a 130-year-old record. Here are the photos I took.

What’s your favorite Girl Scout cookie?

My local cookie dealer didn’t have the original samoas (there is a difference) so I had these hand delivered from out of state aka I asked my long distance bf to order cookies from the neighbor’s daughter. 🤣

Made a quick stop at @oxbowrumdistillery in #BatonRouge and tried their Tiger Smash and it was really good. If you like sweet drinks this a good pick.

One of my favorite things to see are different versions of chips from other countries. A lot of Asian markets typically sell the chips here in America. It is always fun to try different flavors and read the names on the bags.

Did you know that sour cream and onion chips are called “American Style Cream and Onion“ in #India?

I’m a #NewOrleans girl so I love me some hot fries paired with a pineapple Big Shot. 😋 What’s your favorite flavor of chips?

@cosmicsaltillo in Austin, #Texas was a vibe and their tacos are amazing. We ordered the Carnitas, Guajillo Chicken, and the Al Pastor tacos with a side of queso and chips. From their bar I tried the Tepache Margarita. I love a drink with Tajín on the rim. 😋

Great food, drinks, and friendly people. I was able to become friends with the cutest pup ever. We even touched paws for a second. 🤣😆

Someone’s son took me out on a date. 🥰 We went to @divanatlanta which was the perfect place to choose as it was right across the street from where we would be watching the @atlantasymphony.

The service was amazing. Food came out quickly, as we didn’t want to be late to the symphony, and our server was wonderful.

I had the Blackened Verlasso Salmon and my boyfriend ordered the Springer Mtn Saffron Chicken Kabob. For our drinks I had the Dragon’s Tower and he ordered the Smoked Peach Old Fashion.

Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. We will be back. 💋

So I tried @showbirdnola for the first time. The picture I got is terrible because I was starving and the food smelled so good my patience was very thin that day to get a perfect shot. Sometimes you just have to say forget the photo and just enjoy the food.

Worth it too. The food was amazing.

I tried their Showbird and Coop Scramble sandwiches and their waffle fries. 🤤😋 I’ll be back.

I love me some sushi, especially sushi from @royalsushinola. I ordered edamame, crouching tiger roll, spicy tuna roll, and shrimp shumai. All of my favorites. 😋

Starting my morning with fresh kiwi apple juice and banana muffins made from one banana I had left and didn’t want to waste because it’s racist to think things are useless just because it’s black. 👀🤣😝

If you know me then you know I’m always looking for ways to use whatever I have in the kitchen because groceries aren’t cheap and I’m trying to limit my food waste. I think this mini breakfast I prepped for myself was a success. ✨

I found a recipe online from @bakingmischief for “One Banana, One Bowl Small-batch Banana Muffins“ and used what I had in my kitchen. I think I over mixed just a little and could have left it in just a bit longer, but I still think I did alright for my first try.

1 large very ripe banana
¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
1 large egg white
1 tablespoon and 2 teaspoons vegetable oil (didn’t have any on hand so had to use olive oil)
½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg
⅓ cup chocolate chips (optional - I obviously didn’t have any on hand)

I didn’t know I needed to try a fluffy pancake till it was right in front of me and now I’m happy I tried it. 😂😋

I recently had a little family day at @fluffyfluffyduluthga where we tried their amazing fluffy pancakes. I also tried tanghulu and I wouldn’t be a juice alcoholic if I didn’t grab a refresher.

Visited @terryblacks_bbq in #Austin, Texas and it was great. A popular place that had a huge crowd of people, but service was extremely fast. They are practically pushing you out the door. lol

I tried the ribs, some of their brisket, corn, and mac and cheese. I liked everything but their corn. (Too sweet for me.) I would visit again. 😋

Let’s play the game of my greens froze a little (because everything in the back of my fridge freezes), the best by date was yesterday but I tasted it and it “tastes fine to me,” and why did I buy these carrots game…aka how I make my late night salads.

I’m obviously not feeding anyone this and next time your greens get ruined just throw them into a smoothie or soup.

Somewhere throughout this chaos I cut myself trying to shred those baby carrots. (Remind me to buy a new first aid kit for the kitchen.)

Still a good salad for my digestive goals. #IYKYK 🤣

Spring mix, carrots, pepper jack cheese, blue tortilla chips, cucumber, sea salt, black pepper, and Panera balsamic vinaigrette.

Me and bread dough just don’t get along, but like any real relationship I tried at it again and decided to make 🍕. Not only did I attempt to make pizza dough but I tried making pizza in a cast iron skillet because I like a good challenge.

I’ll give it a 5/10 because after nervously checking to see if it was still edible I ate the entire pizza by myself, but I know I can do better. 🤣

I saw a trick where you could heat the pan up and/or cook the dough a bit at the bottom before putting it into the oven. Although I think it pretty much worked I did end up with two different textures of dough because the bottom cooked first. Open to any advice as I knead it. (See what I did there.) 😉

I only leave the house for food. Lol My mama called me and asked if I wanted to get some food at @fqfest and of course I said yes because I wouldn’t be Lunch with @a.classy if I didn’t take a lunch whenever I wanted to. 🤣

Here’s what I ate/drank:

-Crawfish pasta
-Lynchburg Lemonade cocktail
-Pulled Pork sandwich
-Hurricane from @patobriens (it was nice and strong)
-Crawfish pie (if you know me you know I left the house just for this)
-Candied pecans (gave half to my mama and she ate them before pulling off)

A successful lunch. 😋

Took myself out on a date last night and went to @livetruefood last night. They updated their menu and so I was forced to try something new. Lol

I had their southwest bison sausage pizza.

Here’s what’s included on the pizza: Force of Nature regenerative grass-fed bison sausage, charred scallion salsa verde, mozzarella, cotija, jalapeño, organic DiNapoli tomato sauce, Vital Farms pasture-raised fried egg

It wasn’t bad. This isn’t the first time I’ve had an egg on my pizza before. I still don’t see the charm in it. The egg does nothing for me. It’s just messy. 🤣

I give it a 5/10. I miss my old pizza. I got attached.

I sat at the bar so of course I ordered a drink. I got a peach mojito (don q rum, peach giffard, mint, lime) and it was strong just how I like it.

A nice end to a long Monday.

Post workout and book club meetup at the lovely @rosalitas_tacos_nola. 🌮

I got the chicken adobo, pork belly, and smoked brisket tacos with a side of guacamole and chips. I wouldn’t be a juice lover if I didn’t try their watermelon lemonade. 🍉🍋 It was amazing!

True Food Kitchen gets so much of my money. 🤣

There’s nothing like eating good while also eating healthy. I grabbed a friend for dinner and we both shared a chicken sausage pizza and a burrito bowl (gluten free) together.

For #cocktails I had the True Story (gray whale gin, chateau aloe, snap pea, pineapple, lemon), and my friend had the Spicy Pineapple Margarita (casamigos reposado, fresh jalapeños, lime).

I went home with a peach lemonade because you all know I can’t go anywhere without getting some juice. 😆

As always, a yummy meal and drinks. Thanks @livetruefood ✨

Restaurants are saying that due to the drought and freeze last year the price for crawfish has gone up. After seeing the price for crawfish all I can think about is this @supa_cent video.

We can still do lunch, but baby you’re gonna have to buy your own crawfish. 🤣✌🏾
