Take A Bite

Don’t you just love Dallas in the fall? I sure do! If you are a weekly bites reader you may be able to read through this first summary paragraph and be able to catch wind how I’m feeling that week. Pictures, no matter how you shake it show off the good. However, this intro to my weekly post steers more into how I’m actually doing, than how I’m portraying it.

This is a long winded intro to express I’m doing great! I got off the phone with my oldest friend Anna yesterday recapping her recent engagement and just updating each other on life. And I felt so confident on the phone mentioning how well I have been doing. The end of the summer I was dragging. I was lonely. I was bored. I owe a lot to the season change for my mood boost as that is often a helpful adjustment I need, but fall has just been going swimmingly. Don’t you just love the fall?

-How many pictures of this meal can I take? Less than the number of times I actually eat it that’s for sure.
-I’m new to Further Food collagen, but I’m loving their products after receiving a gift package from this women-owned biz. The chocolate collagen frothed up with hot water or hot almond milk, make some seriously good hot chocolate. _annietucker gets you 5% off your order!
-Just a picture from our family shared an album of my niece with pop-tarts that lit up my whole week!
-Little did I know the extent of guacamole consumption that would happen this week, but the gauc with sweet potato chips at Doc B’s is hard to miss. The brussels sprout salad is another not-to-miss item!!
-PSA the new pecan flavored RX Bar is everything of the sort. Found at Sprouts!
-Guacamole made an appearance again on Friday as we cheered on my sweet friend’s dad in a “guac off” with the owner of one of all of our’s favorite tex mex spot.
-After seeing You’ve Got Mail 1,000 times, it hit me mid-movie, that I had to turn the movie into a theme party. I called on my fellow Nora Ephron aficionado and we threw the most fun fall party! A full recap is saved on my Instagram story highlights and I’m working on getting it put into a blog post as well.
