Minty!
To ring in recent birthdays, I was all about ordering up mojitos!
Passionfruit Mojito topped with Cocktail Fruit from La Canela Peruvian Restaurant
- First, to celebrate my Tita Fe‘s birthday, I had this Passionfruit Mojito at the Peruvian restaurant ~ thanks to my cousin & her hubby!
- Then I enjoyed a refreshing Frozen Blueberry Mojito at my own Bday Brunch from Miguel’s Mex Tex Café (Mex intentionally before Tex)!
- Most recently, I toasted to my cousin’s birthday with this Twisted Madre Mango Margarita ~ another special from Miguel’s Agave Bar!
Twisted Madre: Frozen Margarita swirled with Mango Flavor topped with Lime and dressed with Chile Salt on the Sim from Miguel’s Mex Tex Café
S is for …
Freebie for my Bday: Mocha Coconut Hazelnut Frappé
More Sweet Treats … this time without spirits:
Starbucks Birthday Rewards
- First, from my research university before my BiG #-#: Hazelnut topped with Coconut
- Next, from our busiest local coffee shop: the new Blackberries & Creme Frappuccino
Blessed with Rest (sort of) on my Bday … Real quick before I get back into it!

Happy Morning After My Birthday!
Since I always care to share my wealth of health, my family and friends deserve honorable mentions for feeding me for my BiG 3-3. Two weeks ago, I left the Valley with a bang when I my classmates celebrated with me!
One week before my birthday, my Church bestie Evie took me to brunch at Hickory Street Café.
Hickory Street Cafe: Spinach Quiche & Salad with Raspberry Vinegarette + Raspberry Tea ~ Raspberry Good
Hickory Street Cafe: Tomato Basil Soup
Hickory Street Cafe: Chocolate Kahlua Bundt Cake ~ Just how this Bday Girl likes it!
Last weekend, my childhood friend/fellow August baby Dee cooked lunch, and my mom cooked dinner for us and our dads, and our Pinoy homeboy Vince joined us with his kids! We celebrated more last night to wrap my birthday up right!

Being just a hop, skip and swim away from the border means there’s access to …
Really delicious, not always healthy food!
Here are my favorites (aside from my in-laws’ good homecooking, o’course), that I’ll miss in this neck of the woods, or shall I say: foot of the Valley!
Bubble Tea (Tea Rush Café in Sharyland/Mission, TX) ~ during my West Valley Church Tour
Koko’s Mexican Cuisine (Uptown/McAllen, TX) ~ for my classmate, Dr. Alejandro Garza’s Birthday
Sweet & Tasty Bakery ~ also for Dr. G’s Bday, with this Banana Split Pie to die & the BEST pan de polvo
¡Salud!
