Scenes From the Week, Volume 109

August 14, 2017 by Emily Leave a Comment

Welcome to my Scenes From the Week series! In these posts, I share the highlights from my previous week ranging from the simple, everyday things to the more memorable events. One of the primary reasons that I blog is to keep a scrapbook that I can look back on in the future, and these posts help serve that purpose.

Photos from the week, top left to bottom right:

(1) To kick off our weekend at home, we walked down to the Biscuits + Groovy food truck for breakfast. It was delicious, especially with a Top Chico to wash it down!

(2) Sunday we met up with our long-time friends Jordan and Kim and their baby girl. Their baby is so adorable. I loved holding her and watching her observe her surroundings. 🙂

(3) Said brunch (^) was at Bonhomie, a local French restaurant. I ordered the Croque Monsieur, and it was divine! The bread was thicker than other Croque Monsieur’s I’ve had in the past, which was delightful because I was able to soak up more of the cheese topping with it. 🙂

(4) Sunday night we grilled burgers in our apartment courtyard, ate Torchy’s chips & queso, and relaxed. A perfect end to the weekend!

Not pictured:

  • It was a great week for cooking at our house! We made some yummy weeknight meals. Our favorite: slow-cooker chicken burrito bowls from the Skinnytaste Fast & Slow cookbook.
  • Trying out the new ATX Cocina restaurant on Friday night. It was good, but I feel it was overpriced for what we got. I’d love to try happy hour next time we go. It’s supposed to be a great one!
  • A Saturday morning/ early afternoon full of cleaning and organizing
  • A Saturday night spent starting the final season of Downton Abbey. I’m really going to miss these characters when we finish the show!
  • A stop at Fleet Coffee Co. for a new bag of coffee beans. I love getting recommendations from the guys at Fleet, and I like how they rotate their featured roasters. We left with a citrusy, El Salvadorian roast and immediately made pour overs when we got home. I recommend it!

Have a great week!

{Thanks for reading! Want to know a little more about me? I’m a CPA learning how to balance a career with frequent travel while planting roots at home in Austin, TX. When I’m not exploring my home city with my husband Daniel or cuddling with our chubby orange cat Banana, I’m probably planning, packing, traveling to, or daydreaming about our next adventure. After all, my travel mug collection is never complete. If you have wanderlust too, be sure to follow me on Instagram (and InstaStories!), Pinterest, and Facebook, or subscribe to my blog!}
