Boudro’s is a popular holiday dining destination for tourists and locals alike- and for good reason! Boudro’s distinctive menu of Texas and southwestern specialties is just the icing on the cake…especially when it comes to breaking bread aboard one of its private river barges.

I recently discovered a small piece of heaven right here in the Texas Hill Country. A beautiful, scenic spot with a flowing river, breathtaking sunsets and a fantastic restaurant. Plus, you can stay for a day, a week…however long it takes to unwind and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
For more tasty burger ideas from your HEB in Houston….check these out! Even slider versions for a limited time. The secret to these delish burgers is the sauce! Ever heard of ‘Soppin’ Sauce’ ? Buy a variety because I loved every single one I tasted!! The Soppin’ Sauce is available at most HEB’s. I found mine at the HEB Plus at Blanco and 1604.
I scream, you scream…wow, we ALL scream for ice cream! And the sizzling summer heat only supports our cause. But this is no ordinary frozen treat! Meet Marcelo Kreindel, the “gelato master” of Trentino Gelato.

Tucked just off Highway 290, on a popular stretch of gorgeous countryside sits the Grape Creek Vineyard. For a little bit of Tuscany in Texas look no further than this place for some shade and leisure. It’s here that owner Brian Heath says “wine is the center of the experience.”

These summer days are just packed, aren’t they? With endless amounts of errands and running around to do this summer, I find that the best ways to unwind are often the simplest. Case in point: how about an easy dish…one that requires very little preparation but packs a lot of flavor.

Known for its beautiful patio with the relaxing waterfall and its sleek indoor decor (complete with floating fireplace!), Masraff’s on the boulevard always has something enticing. I was an instant fan with their garlic-seared calamari and their pristine white, delicious crab cake.

What a way to enjoy the Texas Hill Country! The fabulous Westin La Cantera recently renovated the resort’s signature bar Steinheimer’s Lounge. And the re-do is worth its weight in gold! There is a very romantic story about the bar’s namesake, Karl Steinheimer. He started out as a pirate. Then, became a miner and he struck gold in Mexico.
