Austin friends- the first annual MossFest is TOMORROW, March 6, from 10am to 4pm, during the ABC Kite Festival at the historic Zilker Hillside Theater! It will feature various local artists, vendors, and associated child-friendly activities. This is FREE to families and will be a great kid-friendly event, which can be hard to find in Austin!

I hope you all will get out and support the Pieratt family as they continue to spread the word about SUDC and celebrate the memory of their beautiful boy, Moss. Also, there will be a Central Market MossFest breakfast the morning of the event. Tickets are $74. 84 and must be purchased in by midnight TONIGHT. They include: a delicious Central Market breakfast for four people, VIP parking inside Zilker Park (huge since there are mulitple events), early access to the park, MossFest goodie bag.

Hope to see you there!

Places to Eat in Austin, Texas ↠ It's All Good Bar-B-Q

So, now that I've shared our big news about baby on the way, I can also tell you another little secret. I've been eating meat again. Yep, after 5 years of being a pescatarian and not having a bite of meat other than fish, I'm a full-fledged carnivore again. I know, it's weird for me too. 

After trying for a long time to get pregnant, I saw a midwife to do some tests and talk about things I could try. One of the things she suggested was that I incorporate some meat back into my diet. I always knew once I was pregnant, if I craved meat I'd let myself have it, because I know your body knows what's best for baby...so it wasn't totally out of the question and I started to try it now and then.

Most meat just reminds me why I didn't miss it at all in my five years as a pescatarian (and honestly I haven't wanted it much at all since I've been pregnant), but I have to admit, there are some places that made me happy not to be skipping out anymore. It's All Good Bar-B-Q was one of them...

Dave drove us out here on his motorcycle (before I was pregnant) and we had some bacon wrapped jalapeños (to die for), macaroni (lick-the-bowl good), and beans along with our meat. I got the turkey plate and Dave had tried mulitiple meats. I have to say the jalapeños stole the show for me, along with the ice cold Corona (this was in the summer) after a long bike ride.
