Petite Peche & Co., a boutique culinary travel food company based in Austin, recently released its schedule of culinary tours throughout 2011, complete with French and Italian destinations.

SXSW Six Odds and Ends
People, we are in FULL SWING. I have never seen Interactive so full of people and parties, and of course panels, but that’s almost a second thought. Below are six things that I haven’t yet talked about because they don’t fit because there isn’t always free “Stuff” or whatever. All-Inclusive Hotel & Indie Day Party:…
Austin: Savory Spice Shop
Like so many things I’ve discovered, Austin and Colorado, Denver in this case, are so interconnected. Take, for example, Savory Spice Shop, the dedicated spice shop that opened last November on West Sixth. It started in Denver, and many of the blends are named for counties and areas in Colorado! But let’s focus on the…
HCG Diet Day 26 (Day 1 Strict Primal): All the Food I Ate
I had a lovely time eating today. I don’t expect to be this food-obsessed in the future, but it was nice to play with how much fat and food I could eat. I did get MUCH fuller MUCH faster, so I didn’t eat THAT much. Breakfast (10am): leftover kebab meat and spinach cooked in raw…
Day 20 HCG Diet
I’m finally down a pound!! Wahoo!! … maybe due to the stomach issues last night? Haha. Hopefully I can continue to lose a pound a day until this thing is done. You also have the option of extending to 40 days. Should I? We’ll see. Breakfast: coffee 45-minute walk with the dog Lunch (2p): Salad…

Everyone Should Try Miracle Noodles
You guys might not know this, but I used to be a noodle fanatic. Growing up, I would eat whole wheat noodles for breakfast and dinner with parmesan cheese, nothing else. Needless to say, in my paleo or at the least gluten-free life, I’ve tried a lot of noodle substitutes. I love spaghetti squash noodles. I…
HCG Diet Day 12 + Paleo Scallop Scampi Recipe
At first it was really fun keeping a daily diary of my HCG diet. Now it’s just kind of tedious. Except I was really excited about finding Miracle Noodles! But I think it’s important, and hopefully helping others! Weight: down 3 pounds from yesterday and the lowest I’ve weighed since I started weighing, but not…
OMG Miracle Noodles
Miracles. Literally. Miracle Noodles. I have always loved noodles. I used to eat whole wheat noodles for breakfast and dinner with parmesan cheese, nothing else, because I loved them so much. Needless to say, since then I’ve tried a lot of noodle substitutes. I love spaghetti squash noodles. I can tolerate kelp noodles but they’re…
States by Food: The United Plates
How adorable/awesome are these? … maybe Colorado’s is a little less awesome. But there is a Denver Omlette, so it makes sense. John Holcomb is, either way, a genius. Here for the rest of the fiddy states and to order prints (just $30!). [Thanks DailyCandy for the heads up!]
