"Austin Bakes For West"

As everyone knows there was a recent tragedy in a small town called West here in Texas. Many amazing and brave people were injured, some even killed, and homes were lost. The affects after something like this is more than just skin deep.

To show the people of West Texas many places here in Austin are having a bake sale to help out everyone in West Texas, and to let them know they're not alone.

I strongly urge everyone to go and buy some baked goods this weekend, Saturday May 4th. Want to help out even more too? You can sign up to bake for these sales Here.

For those who want to give back but can't make it to a bake sale, you can donate money through this site Here.

So come on guys, show some Texas love and give back to your neighbors!

In Honor of all the Boston Marathon Victims and Their Families, Boston Cream Pie In a Jar

This post is a little more serious than many of my other posts. 

Everyone's heard about the bombs during the Boston marathon which is such a tragedy. I heard about it through a customer coming into the restaurant, then watched in horror the footage and photos from the horrible scene on TV. 

Saag Paneer and My Adventure Speaking at UT

So the other day I got an email that really just amazed me.

I sat there for a moment in silence like, "Is this real?"

Keep in mind that every time I get an email for something because of this blog I get really giddy, but this particular invite was really cool in my opinion.

Reese's Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies

Hello everyone!

Hope you are all having a great week, despite the cold and rainy weather we've been having here in Austin.

I have to admit I wasn't expecting that one bit, nor did I care for it. I'm ready for the 108 degree weather! No more cold until fall please.

Cheddar Pork Rib Biscuit Sandwich

Hello hello, and welcome everyone!

So remember the other day when I said I needed a new job? Well i'm not saying I still don't want a new job, I do, but what i'm here to say is that i've decided to start doing side jobs. 

Jobs such as helping restaurants and food trucks handle their social media and advertising, to get more business and exposure. I'd handle twitter, facebook and any other social media sites, and help to promote them.

Good idea right?

So, if you own a restaurant or food truck and want more exposure, just let me know!

Texas Honey Pecan Cookies

I'll be honest, I used to hate spring.

It's not quite hot yet, but it's not cold either. Plus the rain just makes it humid all the time and my hair does not like that one bit.

Cherry Almond Cupcakes

I love weddings.

I'll admit i'm one of those girls who just loves dressing up to go to a wedding, even if I don't have a date, and seeing the happy couple say those 2 magical words, "I do" proposing their undeniable love to each other.

Avocado Deviled Eggs and Looking For a New Job/Apprenticeship

How is everyone this lovely rainy Tuesday night? 

So ya'll have probably heard or noticed that i'm not too fond of my job. I honestly used to love it, believe me I did, but i'm afraid that I've grown out of it. I want something that will actually help me in my future, something that I can use as a learning experience. 

While I've learned a lot at my job now as a server, I want a job actually in the kitchen. I want to learn gain experience in the kitchen and learn how to cook different things. 

Which is why i'm here talking to all of you about it. 

If anyone out there in Austin, whether you are a restaurant or food truck, needs extra help in the kitchen I would love to do and apprenticeship for you. Paid or non-paid, I really just want the experience of working in a real life kitchen or food truck. 

Send me an email,somethingsweetaustin@yahoo.com, and I can give you reference numbers and answer and further questions that you may have.
