Cafe Dolce Gelato: Sweet Treats in Houston
June 24, 2014 by
Cafe Dolce Gelato, located on the second level of The Galleria near Nordstrom, serves artisan gelato and sorbetto made from scratch, plus grilled panini sandwiches, and cappuccino and espresso. The Italian counterpart to American ice cream, Italian gelato is a dense frozen dessert that boasts less fat than the ice cream we're accustomed to here in the States.
Here, gelato and sorbetto (dairy-free sorbet) are made in-house, using organic whole milk, real sugar, fresh fruit, and ingredients imported straight from Italy. Flavors include Nutella, coconut, salted caramel, hazelnut, roasted almond, and strawberry cheesecake, all of which can be served in a cup or a waffle cone. For a treat that's a little less chilly, opt for the tiramisu. The tiramisu at Cafe Dolce Gelato is made in-house every day using fresh whipped cream.
Cafe Dolce Gelato is open Mondays through Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sundays, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Etoile Cuisine et Bar: Refined French Fare Without Pretense
June 10, 2014 by
Located in Houston's Uptown Park, Etoile Cuisine et Bar serves authentic French fare with a seasonal twist. With executive chef/owner Philippe Verpiand—a native of France—at the helm, French cuisine is presented sans pretense.
Regulars note that the rustic, bistro-like ambiance provides the perfect setting in which to savor Etoile's creamy lobster bisque and equally decadent foie gras or escargot. The coq au vin is elegantly presented with creamy potatoes and winter vegetables, while the Cassoulet Toulousain is a hearty dish of pork shoulder, duck confit, and beans topped with parsley bread crumbs. No meal of French fare would be complete without a glass of wine, and you can expect a lengthy list of French reds, whites, and champagne to complement your dish. Conclude your meal with the apple tart served with salted caramel and ice cream.
Etoile Cuisine et Bar serves lunch and dinner every day. The restaurant is open Sundays through Thursdays, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for lunch, then 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. for dinner. On Fridays and Saturdays, Etoile Cuisine et Bar serves lunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., then dinner from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m.

5 Feng Shui Decorating Tips for Beginners
June 3, 2014 by
If your home feels disorganized, cluttered, and just plain off, it could be your feng shui. Feng shui is an ancient Asian art of home organization that promotes good energy in your life, and it might help you feel more in tune with your home as well. Here are a few of the most basic feng shui decorating tips.
- Eliminate clutter throughout the household. Feng shui teaches people to eliminate unnecessary clutter that adds negative energy to a home. Toss out things that you don’t use, and even limit the amount of furniture to keep rooms open and airy.
- Balance your bedroom. If you add a lamp on one side of the bed, add one on the other side as well. Bedrooms should be equal and balance to promote a feeling of peace and calm.
- Face the desk toward the door in a home office. Doors are often thought of as portals for positive energy, so this adjustment encourages success in your career.
- Sharp, angular furniture is bad. People who practice feng shui should own furniture with rounded edges or completely circular shapes, because they promote flow and unity in your home.
- Add some plants. Greenery in the home has a calming influence, and it promotes a peaceful energy. Plants are also a natural way to clean the air.
