Happpppy Monday! We are ready to conquer this week, and crossing our fingers that it won’t be pouring for an entire week straight again. The rain is so nice when you can just lounge around all day, but when you have to actually be productive, it is a whole other story. We did get a lot done last week, and we had a busy weekend filled with really fun things. On Friday, we went to a Dallas Stars game with our boyfriends, and on Saturday we went to the Texas State Fair, which ended up being a crazy adventure that we will definitely be talking about in our podcast! Speaking of food, we wanted to share some things we order at our favorite local spots. We shared some of our favorite date night spots in this post, and how to eat healthier at restaurants in this post. You can also find all things ‘Dallas’ related here.Before we get into our favorite spots, we wanted to share this easy look with you all! We know so many of you all have asked about certain pieces in this look, which is all from Nordstrom! They have the besttttt stuff for fall and winter, and we are obsessed with their in-store pickup and free shipping.
We wanted to to put them in an outfit for you to see, and talk about our favorite part of this entire outfit: this faux leather moto jacket. It is under $100, had a detachable hood, so you can transition from day to night. It also comes in some other colors, but we think black is always a classic. It also has really cute gold hardware on it.We paired it with our most worn ripped jeans. You guys, this pair is AMAZING. They are stretchy, aka super comfortable, come in 4 washes (we are wearing the “sky” wash), and they are higher waisted! We have a size 25 for reference.As far as accessories, this bag is a great tote and can be worn on your shoulder, or on your wrist. You all know we LOVEEE these slip on sneakers. They are so comfortable, and as you all know, you can wear them with so much!Oh, and if you’re looking for a good basic tee, this white long-sleeved pocket tee is a great one! We have it in size xs in a few colors. Now, onto our favorite spots recently, and what we typically order:
- Flowerchild: This is such a great spot any time of day! We love their Chopped Vegetable Salad (with dressing on the side) and the Mother Earth Bowl with the vinaigrette on side. Their plates are also really yummy (we love the Grilled Asparagus, Indian Spiced Cauliflower, and Spicy Japanese Eggplant with salmon.
- True Food Kitchen: This one is similar to Flowerchild, which we love. Our favorites are the Farmer’s Market Crudités with hummus instead of the dips, the Kale Guacamole, and the Charred Cauliflower. The Seasonal Ingredient salad is really good and so is the Mediterranean Quinoa Salad. The Grilled Salmon and Moroccan Chicken are super yummy, too!
- Gather Kitchen: we LOVE this spot! It is a great grab-and-go spot. We love to Build Our Own Bowls with zucchini noodles and cauliflower rice, and add alllll the veggies! For sauces, we do either the Six-Pepper Mexican or Roasted Bell Pepper. For dessert, their Chocolate Mousse is to die for!
- Snappy Salads: We love a good salad, and this place has the best salads. We usually get the large salad and do the ‘Create-Your-Own’ option. We get a mix of romaine, spinach, and spring mix and add stuff like tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, celery, broccoli, onions, artichokes, grapes, and mushrooms. For dressing, we usually have them squeeze a fresh lemon or lime and then get a side of olive oil and salsa to put on it. We also put sea salt and black pepper on it. They also have protein options like salmon and chicken you can add, or some avocado!
- Feed Company Eatery : One of us actually went here the other night for dinner. It has a great atmosphere, and has something for everyone to eat. For appetizers, we love the Hummus, Arugula + Egg Salad, and the Salmon Teriyaki!
- Sevys Grill: This is a great dinner spot! We love their Sevy’s Chop Salad and the Fresh Vegetable Platter. If you’re craving seafood, the Fresh Bay of Fundy Salmon Fillet is really good!
- Lala’s Mexican Cuisine: One of our obsessions right now! We love the Guacamole with the Siete Chips and Jicama Chips. Their Mexican Bowl is really good and their Veggie Fajitas are to die for! We get them in lettuce wraps and sub the rice and beans for riced broccoli. We also love the Enchilada and get our wrapped in a zucchini tortilla with vegan cheese!
- Kozy Kitchen: A great brunch spot, lunch spot, and dinner spot. We love their Veggie Connection Omelet for breakfast or brunch. For lunch or dinner, we love the Greek Salad with Shrimp or The Kozy Salad (you can add chicken or salmon to these, too!) Their Wild Salmon plate is delicious and we love the Veggie Plate without the risotto.
