Masraff’s Mini Tuna Tartare Tacos
There are plenty of great food and wine events in Houston, but the HLSR Uncorked! is one of my favorites. Easy to see why it’s always a sell-out event!

All month long I’m challenging you to love on your heart in honor of Heart Month. The American Heart Association hooked me up with some great recipes that are designed to help you do just that. Quick, easy and most importantly, healthy options for dinnertime…or anytime!
Grab a pen…there’s a top of the line wine event that you’ll want to get on your calendar! Fete du Cuvée is a black tie affair that will not only feature top shelf wines for auction but also delicious food from some of San Antonio’s top chefs like Executive Chef Steven McHugh of Luke San Antonio, Executive Chef Stefan Bowers of FEAST and Chef Ernie Estrada of Francescas to name a few.
Sometimes it’s best to stick with tradition. Giving chocolates on a day like Valentine’s doesn’t have to feel dull or unimaginative. There are some great options nearby that can truly make a heartfelt impression!
You don’t have to spend $200 on a bottle of Cristal this Valentine’s Day to make a lasting impression. Sure, Cristal is a fabulous Champagne, but if you really want to impress that special someone look for a grower’s Champagne.

Even though our beloved Cowboys or Texans didn’t make it to the Super Bowl, chances are we’ll all take in some of Sunday’s game…even if it’s just to see Madonna’s half-time performance. If you’re tired of hot wings, queso and the usual Super Bowl snacks, I’ve got some delicious alternatives like a warm brie with a caramel agave topping for starters.
