I got to check out the 5 All-American desserts available at @mediumrare_restaurant. They are big enough to share, so that’s what we did!!

📍5631 Alta Ave, Dallas, TX 75206

If you know Dallas, then you know Lower Greenville is THE place to be for a fun weekend (or weekday)! #EastDallasistheBestDallas

Did you know that there is a fun steak spot nestled on Alta Avenue? I highly recommend @mediumrare_dallas for an affordable dinner, and this is my ranking of their desserts:

• I didn’t eat the (4️⃣)CHOCOLATE cake, but everyone loved it. I did not have the (3️⃣)hot fudge SUNDAE because one ice cream is enough for me.

• 1️⃣KEY LIME PIE was my all-time favorite due to the flavor, texture and presentation!! It truly melts in your mouth. 🍋‍🟩

• 2️⃣I loved their APPLE PIE a lot! I wish the ice cream hadn’t melted so fast, but the warmth of the pastry was part of the magic. 🪄🥧

• 5️⃣I have had a lot of carrot cake in my life, so my expectations were pretty high. It just tasted like a regular carrot cake to me. 🥕🍰

I usually put carrot cake at the top of my dessert list, but putting it at the bottom shows you JUST HOW GOOD all the desserts were at Medium Rare. Let me know what desserts you’ll order when you go!! #thingstodoindallas #lowergreenville #mediumraredallas #dallasblogger (ad, hosted)

today marks @wordsbymae’s birthday and my one-year cake-aversary • after making my own birthday cake for 7 years, I began baking for my friends. It’s been quite the learning experience, often stressful, but always scratching my creative itch.

15 cakes in 12 months.

We will see what this next year brings!

Outdoor Dallas girlies assemble! 🧗‍♀️🏕️

This Dallas social org is all about the outdoors, with no gatekeeping, no pressure, and no experience required.

@gooutside_girlies launched in March 2024 to make nature more fun and accessible for women, including trans women and nonbinary people. Whether you’re a first-timer or seasoned adventurer, their events are open to anyone who identifies as female. No experience needed.

So far, they’ve hosted a picnic and plant swap, gone outdoor climbing, and in July, they’ll hit Lake Ray Hubbard for kayaking and paddleboarding. Monthly outings are posted on Instagram.

8 years ~ Austin is officially tied with San Antonio for the longest I've ever called somewhere home.

When I moved here in 2017 I imagined and hoped for what the next 8 years would bring and oh my did they bring.

I gained amazing friends and a faith community. I started my career and made connections in the nonprofit space. I braved dating apps and went on camping trips and hosted friends in my new city.

I fell in love with cooking and adopted a new cat. I muddled my way through COVID-19 and virtual game nights. I saw my friends become mothers and changed jobs and moved apartments.

I became passionate about TNR and began confronting my own white supremacy. I got involved in local organizing and moved in with my partner.

I adopted a dog and leaned into my creativity. I started therapy for my body image issues and baked for my friends.

I experienced job loss. I got married. I turned 30.

I grew into more new versions of myself than I can even count. I am grateful for every one. ✨

Our Saturday meet up was filled with sends, sweat, laughter, and cheers. After the climbing, the TxLC settled down with plenty of snacks to enjoy a screening of Pretty Strong hosted by @movementgymsdfw . Major thanks to @wordsbymae for putting the event together to celebrate International Women's Day. Folks were so inspired and motivated from the film that everyone decided to end the night with group pull ups. 🤩

The year we cherished the little things, the year we moved across the county, the year we laughed and laughed and laughed, the year we both got sick too many times to count, the year we traded cars for subways, the year we took chances. Thank you, Jesus for another amazing year on this Earth
