Whole Foods "Bites and Bloggers" and Parkside Cocktail Party by Stonyfield and Organic Valley BlogHer Events

Soooo, the past couple of days have Austin has been filled with bloggers from all over for the BlogHer conference. Bloggers including the famous Ree Drummond from The Pioneer Woman, who of course through her blog has made cookbooks and has her own show on Food Network.

Kinda cool right?

While I didn't go to all of the events, I only attended 3, they were amazing I have to admit.

The first one was the opening welcome party held at Whole Foods downtown on the roof. Tons of Austin's top female chefs including the lovely Jodie Elliot from Foreign and Domestic and Sarah McIntosh from Epicerie all created wonderful and unique dishes to serve at this event.

Let me just tell you, there was so much good food I didn't know where it was going to end. I tried to eat a sample of everything but I failed. That wasn't even the first event of the night!

I feel so bad though I took so many pictures but can't remember who made what, but just indulge in  these pictures with me. The woman behind every dish did a fantastic job and they all deserve equal applause.

Whole Foods Bites and Bloggers

Almond Cookies

Ya know, looking back at some of my older posts on here I can really tell i've gotten better at some of this photography stuff.

Some of my pictures come out actually decent, if I do say so myself.

Coconut Rum Cheesecake

Party time!

I've mentioned before how me and my mom always have a girls weekend when my brothers and dad go hunting or fishing, and this weekend is no exception.

Chocolate Bread Pudding and a Happy Mothers Day!

I love my mom. 

Seriously, she is my best friend. I know a lot of people who aren't very close to their family and it always makes me sad. I've been so blessed to have an amazing supportive family who I can honestly say are my best friends as well.

Learning to Bake Your Cake and Eat It Too: Chocolate Coconut Rum Cake

I have a confession...

Food blogging has made me fat.

There I said it! It's out!

Hey Cupcake

Hello hello!

I know i'm a little late hopping on the Hey Cupcake Bandwagon, or bandtruck if you will, but it's better late than never right?

S'mores Eclairs and Turning 18

Hello everyone.

So this past weekend was a very fun and exciting weekend for me.

Quacks 43rd Street Bakery

I love bakeries.

I mean who doesn't? Fresh bread and sweet treats for whatever your sweet tooth is craving. Does it get any better than that? 

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. 

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.

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.

Southern Peach Crisp and Rantings About Ice Cream

Happy Easter Eve!

Boozy Mini Pecan Pie Cupcakes

You know those moments in school when you take a test and you think to yourself, "I totally aced that test!" Only to get the test back and find out you failed.

Yeah, those times suck.

Lucky for me though that didn't happen this time. This time I got my midterm test back and found out I got a 98!

Sarah Eats Austin goes to Gourdoughs

Mmmm... Donuts... 

For anyone who's ever watched the Simpsons you know what i'm talking about. And that is exactly what I was saying while eating at Gourdoughs!

A local food truck based on South 1st St. This food truck is taking the people of Austin away into donut heaven. It has received much publicity, being seen on the Food Network and Cooking Channel, this food truck has definitely made it's mark in the food scene.

Bailey's Irish Cream Cheesecake

Oh the last weekend of spring break....

The last couple of days to enjoy blissful freedom before it's back to the books once again and the constant stressful knot in your stomach resumes...

I don't know about ya'll but i'm not ready to go back yet. How about we get just one more week off. Yes?

Chocolate Caramel Booze Ball

As St. Patricks Day grows closer the Irish recipes keep coming!

These cake balls are not your ordinary cake balls.

Vanilla Rum Custard

Dreamy dreamy smooth and creamy!

White Chocolate Lemon Profiteroles

This past weekend seemed like it was just a big ole' failure for me when it came to cooking.

It seemed like everything I made came out disappointing. 

Italian Cream Prune Cake

Do you ever have one of those days where you just cannot think or have any inspiration for anything? All your ideas seem stupid and you can't decide what to make?

That was me the day I made this cake.
