16 years ago I started a blog while at UT to document the city I loved and now a print feature in @eastsideatxmag’s June/July issue, sandwiched between 5 incredible austin women who built something from nothing!

"Follow that itch if you have an idea. It could lead you down a 16-year journey of so many possibilities."

"You have to evolve. What worked before doesn't always work now. You have to stay ahead of the trends and stay true to yourself."

There’s something unexpected about watching your husband become a dad. Between all the dirty diapers and the sleepless nights, I didn’t just get to watch our son grow — I got to watch my husband evolve. This is Josh’s first Father’s Day so I surprised him with @omahasteaks — America’s original butcher since 1917, delivered right to our door. Because it’s not just steak — it’s a whole experience, delivered. Happy first Father’s Day!

#ad let me show you the best Korean bbq pork chops

#ad let me show you the best Korean bbq pork chops 🔥

the secret is starting with a high-quality cut — these are @omahasteaks center cut pork chops, premium top loin, cut nice and thick. flash-frozen at peak, individually portioned, ready whenever you need them (aka the nights I don’t feel like thinking about dinner).

here’s how I make them:
🥩 marinade (5 min to mix, then let it sit at least an hour — overnight’s even better): honey, gochujang, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, shallot, ginger, sesame oil

🔥 grill medium-high, 3–4 min a side, with whole green onions right next to them. just look at those char marks — a little spicy, a little sweet, super juicy, and super tender thanks to that premium top loin cut.

🥬 slice against the grain + build the wrap: lettuce cup, pork, kimchi, cucumber salad, grilled scallions, sesame seeds. rice on the side.

summer dinners just got easier with Omaha Steaks in the freezer 🤍

#wordpresspartner | From food blogger to author to interior designer — my whole journey started with building my website on @wordpressdotcom 🖥️ In 2010, I Googled “how do I build a website” and started atasteofkoko.com on WordPress.com. Since then that one site has grown with every chapter of my life — two books, vacation rentals in Fredericksburg, interior designed rentals in Palm Springs, and now Howdy Homes. WordPress.com grew with every chapter — and I never had to start from scratch. That’s the part nobody tells you about building something online. Ready to start yours?

this is the cleanest sriracha I’ve tried — and it’s at Costco NOW 🌶️

if you love sriracha, @melindasfoods just landed at @costco across Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma in the BIGGEST size I’ve ever seen — 31.5 ounces.

what makes it different: it’s family-owned and Texas-based (the Figueroa family in Dallas), and the ingredients are clean:

✓ real cane sugar
✓ no high fructose corn syrup
✓ no artificial ingredients
✓ no preservatives
✓ gluten free
✓ bold, balanced heat from real peppers

set your mouth on flavor 🌶️ running back for another one!

I did NOT expect to be off-roading in Texas today

I did NOT expect to be off-roading in Texas today — and in Jeep’s full-size SUV 🌵

Spent the day in Texas Hill Country with @jeep testing the NEW 2026 Grand Wagoneer for Jeep’s 85th anniversary. Two-track trails, 420 horsepower, incredible towing capacity at 10,000 lbs — and somehow the smoothest ride with quilted leather seats, McIntosh speakers, and the tri-pane sunroof open to the sky.

Delicious lunch at the ranch, custom leather tags, and a peek at the craftsmanship behind every detail. The American premium SUV done right.
