The Ultimate Solo Traveler's Guide To Austin

Back in March when I decided to make a huge life change to quit my job as a wedding director to pursue From The Roots full time, I roughly mapped out possible places that I thought would be cool to put new roots down - Austin being top of the list!

So five months later, here we are! And even though things have vastly changed since March, staying in Georgia will be the best thing for me in this season. But, if an opportunity presented itself to move to TX, then I would pack my bags in a heartbeat!

Mango Melon Sorbet with Chamoy Sauce

Mango melon sorbet with chamoy sauce - A popular Mexican condiment that is salty, sour, spicy, and sweet. Paired with the two most favorite summer fruits and sprinkled with chili lime seasoning - it’s the ultimate refreshing summer dessert! Naturally sweetened, dairy free, and bursting with flavor!

It is sad to say that my taste buds have not been in contact with chamoy sauce until two weeks ago! It’s actually embarrassing - just writing it out. I thought, maybe because I just wasn’t exposed to it being that I have lived in the South and Midwest my entire life but it’s not that because out of all the places in the world, I had my first chamoy experience in this small Mexican sorbet shop in Oklahoma!

That day forever changed my taste buds for the good! Literally, if you had chamoy sauce, your mouth is probably drooling at this point - because that is what it does to you!

Chamoy = Salt + Sour + Spicy + Sweet

Grilled Peach and Steak Salad

Yes, I did in fact, get my peaches from Georgia. Tifton, GA to be exact! As I was driving home from Florida last week, I stopped by the cutest store: The Market at Rutland Farms and picked up a bag of fresh peaches along with assorted fruit preserves to bring back to family. So if you are around the area, you should most definitely stop by!

Peaches are the perfect sweet addition to any summer salad. But let’s not stop there. Let’s crank up the grill and put some nice grill marks on those bad boys.

Did you say steak? Yeah, let’s throw some steaks on the grill as well!
