Since Nathan and I are now reformed foodies, we went from eating anything and EVERYTHING to being annoyingly organic/health conscious. It is a fun challenge to find new foods to filter into our routine. Brown rice and quinoa are two regular staples in our diet. For a while we got super hyphy off using quinoa in replacement for rice in asian and mexican inspired dinners, however the novelty wore off quickly. We decided to kick up the rice tactics and dress it up in a completely clean, organic, non seasoning type way. By making some good old guac and thoroughly mixing it into brown rice, you have something completely foreign and oddly delicious. I added my avo-brown rice to a salad, and Nathan ate his with some black beans and corn, scooping it all up with tortilla chips and salsa, for a nacho-ey vibe. This rice made my salad drool worthy, and now I think I want to always have a tupperware around to dress up and add some protein to future salads.

Welcome, my name is Mercedez! My husband Nathan, our little pup Thomas, and I just moved into the country outside of Austin, TX. We purchased our first home and haven't stopped renovating since! Follow along as I share my all of my favorite things in life; recipes, DIY's, beauty stuff, fashion, interior design, and so much more! 

I'm at a point in my life where getting a table runner on sale makes the day worth living.....hahaha Today Id like to be back in Saint Tropez. Everyone go follow my floral design Instagram. Ready, set, go! @theheirloomtable Down by the lake with my love. ☕️ bigger than my face. I need it today. Throwback to the good days at home in California. Sometimes, most of the time, I really miss it. I bought this 10 million dollar water bottle because it looked cool. 😒 Making salsa watching the rain😌 It's 82 degrees and raining. In Texas 82 degrees feels like sweater weather. One more house picture cause I'm loving our new living room. So much brighter and cozier than the last ❤️ I love our throw pillows! My kitchen sink window makes me so happy 😍
