Slow Down and Savor | A Food Blog
http://www.slowdownandsavorblog.com/
I eat. I savor. I write.
Slow Down & Savor is a blog dedicated to exploring my passions in life: food, family & friends. This blog is a showcase of my love of food, the memories associated with food, the people who cook food, and the history of food. So, come with me as I experience local Austin and San Marcos eateries, test out new products, and cook delicious and sometimes simple meals!
