Italian and gluten-free don’t often go hand-in-hand … pastas, breads, and pizzas are serious gluten bombs. But leave it to parkside’s, backspace’s, and Olive & June’s Chef Shawn Cirkiel to create a five-course Southern Italian-style gluten-free dinner in honor of Celiac Awareness month. Olive & June will host two of the gluten-free dinners on May…

Happy: Willpower Cushion
Happy: is a new category of posts for this is life in austin & aspen. As I’ve developed DailyHap.com, which I encourage you all to visit daily, I’ve come across mountains of research, blog posts, articles, supportive pictures, and so on that can help lead to happiness but are not “filed” under that category. Here,…
Butternut Squash Lasagna Cups
I finally made a recipe I’d been wanting to make for awhile: butternut squash lasagna cups, from Pinterest. I like lasagna, but I don’t love it like I love pizza. But it has a lot of the same elements, so you’d think I’d love it just as much … anyway, I haven’t spent much time…
Aspen: X Games 2012 … it’s all about the music
Last year I was super psyched to go to X Games and really surprised no one would go with me! … then I went. … and now, I will probably not ever go again either. (I also happen to be in Park City this weekend, yay!) It’s awesome, yes, that X Games are in Aspen.…
Houston: Houston Uchi Opens Feb 2
… but they start taking reservations today! I used to cover the Houston restaurant scene for a luxury magazine, and let me tell you, competition is fierce in one of the fattest cities in the nation. I say that lovingly, as I think Houston is one of the best cities in the nation if you know…
Austin: Skate It Up
Austin’s lakes and ponds will probably never freeze in order to get that whole wintery skating thing going on (in contrast to Aspen, where it is TEN degrees as I type this), so we have to build rinks specifically for that purpose. The downtown Whole Foods started the trend a few years ago (and has…
“I eat better than you.”
Awesome conversation overheard today after yoga: Woman 1: “You have the most amazing back, what do you do?” Amazing Back Woman: “This [yoga] and my diet.” Woman 1: “What? I guarantee I eat better than you.” Amazing Back Woman: “Nope, it’s all in the diet.” Woman 1: “I eat better than you. You eat meat.”…

Guest Post: Recipe for Thai Spiced Eggplant
Today’s tasty guest post comes from Angelina Foster, who delves into the season’s eggplants! Recipe: Homemade Thai Spiced Eggplants It may be the end of September but it’s not too late to have another barbeque or two. I love eating out in Austin and Aspen, but sometimes it’s nice to eat in the comfort of my…
I am that blogger
You know, the one that’s about to apologize for not blogging. Last weekend, I went to the BlogHer conference in San Diego, where I could NOT get enough of the ocean. The smell, the sand, the salt, the sounds … I love love love the beach. I did yoga once, worked out once, played football…
