What's For A Snack?

Saturdays are my lazy day. After a week filled with cooking, cleaning, and rushing to get out the door, I usually do absolutely nothing. So when it comes to meals I like to keep it simple.

I came across this recipe and made it this afternoon for a late snack. It's definitely going to be added to my permanent list of recipes to cook!

It's simple - dice some onions, brussel sprouts, and garlic. Toss these three items in a sauté pan with pepper and paprika. Meanwhile, toast some bread, add cheddar on top, bake for a few minutes, and top with the onion/brussel sprout/garlic mixture. Delicious and easy!

Hubbell & Hudson

I went back to Houston this weekend and had to visit my favorite new sidewalk market, Hubbell & Hudson. Not used to rising before 11 am on a Friday, I tried their latte and was instantly hooked with the rich flavor and creamy foam. This great little market was designed and created by a developer in The Woodlands. It mimics Whole Foods' fresh approach to food and Trader Joe's neighborhood charm. Besides a gourmet cooking school and swanky bistro located inside, it has all sorts of nifty goodies. H&H will keep you intrigued and giddy with all the interesting finds it has to offer. Here are some of my faves:

Oh hey, come on in!

Fresh plants, herbs, and flowers coming right up. 

Stations like this biscotti area are set up all over the store. Tons of free samples--the pinnacle of every shopping experience--are also available to try. 

The almond croissant sells out almost immediately everyday. One bite will tell you why. 

This danish leaves everyone in a peachy mood. 

Hydrangeas and Roses were arranged for a wedding that was going on later in the day in the bistro.

I never claimed it was healthy, just homemade and delicious.
