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!

Happy Hump Day the Healthy Pretty Fit Way!
Today, I’ll feature food, as a perk to my freelance writing.
When I visited AM Donuts, I was pleased to photograph around the storefront and bakery, as well as to try the main menu items that I intended:

AM Donuts‘ Bubble Tea & Maple Bacon Bar
The added bonus was that the owner packed his personal favorites for me to take home!

AM Donuts & Croissants Care Package, including *exclusive* Cherry Chocolate Fritter & Red Velvet Cake Donut
Then, when I covered the Claudie C. Royals Banquet on Claudie C. Royals Day, I chowed down even more!

Claudie C. Royals Banquet Desserts: Special Strawberry Shortcake Banana Nut Pudding, Lemon & Chocolate Nut Cupcakes, Chocolate Sugar-Dusted Brownies
Today, I wrote about how I ate healthy a week ago then rewarded myself the next day in What I Ate Wednesday and Thursday.
Moral of this story:
A good day can lead into another one!
And because I love y’all so much, here’s how I packed my sweets for the sweet from the sweet on VDay ♥
Now that I’ve gone bananas with good grub and am armed with study food, I’ll get back to working on my dissertation…
3:33 ~ make a wish!!!
