Pane Bianco

I realize that I take a lot of pictures of food. 

In the first trimester with this baby all I could eat was bean and cheese burritos. Delicious, but they get old fast. Now that I can eat more (I tend to ignore the awful heartburn), I have been spending a little more time at good restaurants. I work downtown so of course some of the best places to eat are down there. Send me some recommendations, because I am all about trying more amazing food. 

Torchy's Tacos

One day for lunch we decided to hit a couple places to eat. We first ate at a BBQ truck and had amazing brisket, then we went over to Torchy's Tacos.

 Texan's do love their queso cheese dip. We had queso dip with chips, queso dip with eggs, queso dip with french fries, queso dip with guacamole in it, and basically queso dip isn't my favorite, but it is still pretty good. I think if I wanted to live there I would need to bump queso to a favorite food or else I wouldn't fit in.

 I had a vegetarian avacado taco, yummy.

Austin Trip

Rich and I took a quick trip to Austin, Texas this weekend. It was a fun getaway without the girls (thanks for all who helped us out!!) and we had fun visiting some friends who moved their last year. 

I had no preconceived notions about Austin, but Rich imagined tumble weeds, desert, hot, and a lot of Texas accents. He was very mistaken and happily surprised when we got there. There were hills and rivers and lakes and trees. LOTS of GREEN! We drove around a lot to look at things, but basically our trip consisted of food, more food, and even more food. I do believe I ate my weight in food and boy it was delicious!

We ate at a restaurant called Uchiko, a Japanese restaurant. My very favorite part was the "hot rock", the raw beef was put in front of us, then we set it on a hot rock and it cooked it!  You could cook it rare or even well done, whatever your preference. So tasty.

SuperBowl Food!

We had a little party at the house to celebrate the 49ers in the superbowl. I delivered a baby right before it started, but I did have time to put all the food together.

 Specialty (grocery store made) 49er cupcakes. 

We also had homemade chili in homemade whole wheat bread bowls. Delicious. Also some spinach and artichoke dip that was fabulous as well. 

So sad they didn't win though. At least we had good food.
