Visiting Texas: Houston Restaurant Weeks Benefiting the Houston Food Bank: Del Frisco's Grille

Happy Sunday Butterflies! It's Restaurant Weeks in Houston and today I had the pleasure of dining at Del Frisco's Grille for Sunday Brunch and....it was AMAZING! A well prepared three course meal for only $25? I mean who wouldn't enjoy that?

The menu consisted of three options per course to choose from. I tried the Philly Cheese-Steak Egg Rolls for my starter, Red Velvet Waffles for my entree and Peanut Butter & Toffee Mousse for dessert. Sounds yummy right? Lol, It so was! Beverages are not included in the meal price so prepare to pay a little extra to try one or two of the tasty drinks at Del Frisco. I tried the Screwdriver (because it's one of my favorite drinks) and it was pretty awesome, and by "pretty awesome" I mean the alcohol to ice ratio was on point. lol

Life Update: Why I Freaked Out About Turning Thirty + I Got a New Piercing

Butterflies....so it's been a little over a month since I turned the big 30 and boy was I freaking out prior to. Fortunately I got over it quickly (some people never do) and am now at peace with it lol, I'm embracing my thirties, I'm grateful for everyday and I plan to use them wisely. I think more than anything else I was more so worried about the idea of the label and  being considered old once you're no longer in your twenties. I mean there's so much I want to experience this lifetime and I kind of possibly maybe might (lol) want another kid so turning thirty just reminded me of how much I need to get my shit together so I can get the most out of this life thing I guess. Anyway, I wanted to go to New York before I turned 30 and I did so I'm sure I'll be just fine. Now that I think about it, I freaked out the same way when I turned 25 and noticed my first grey hair lol. Did anyone else freak out about turning a certain age? Also, how do you like my nose piercing? I got it done last month on my birthday? OMG I'm 30...I love it!
