If you love to cook, you know how important it is to use the proper cutting techniques in every recipe. Many people don't know the proper names of these techniques, however, which often leads to using the wrong one. Here are three important types of cutting that are essential for everything from entrees to desserts.

You're probably already familiar with the premise of those paint-your-own pottery studios, but did you know that an adults-only version exists here in Houston? It's called Pinot's Palette, and the idea behind this "BYOB art entertainment studio" is a little different from the competition.
First, amateur painters are invited to enroll in a painting class from Pinot's Palette's online schedule, which also displays the exact painting that will be attempted (no talent required!) during each two- or three-hour class. Then, the student simply shows up to the studio approximately 30 minutes before the class's start time; Pinot's Palette supplies all the necessary materials. However, the real draw of these classes, which are more akin to a social outing than a serious art class, is the fact that participants are encouraged to bring along a bottle of wine and some snacks—in addition to an eagerness to have a fun night out with friends.
Pinot's Palette's classes range in price from $39 to $49. This Houston studio is also a popular spot for parties and other special events.

From small beginnings, Just Dinner has grown into a great local BYOB dining experience. Located in the Mogan House in the neighborhood of Montrose, Just Dinner is just that – a delicious dinner option. While this is a casual restaurant, the décor is decidedly upscale, but also quiet and comfortable.
Visit and you can start out with an appetizer like country pate or warm brie to share, and move on to tasty entrée options that will satisfy any diner. Everything is made fresh because all of the ingredients are either harvested in the restaurant’s garden, or bought that day. What a great way to have a tasty rendezvous with somebody special!
Just Dinner is open Tuesday through Saturday for – what else – just dinner! Reservations are accepted.

The backbone of traditional Italian is meat, so you might not expect to find vegetarian options at an Italian restaurant—let alone an entire menu. But Prima Pasta in Houston values only one thing above Italian tradition, and that is its clientele. So the eatery offers a vegetarian-friendly menu that still captures the spirit of Italian fare with dishes such as fettuccine Alfredo (a favorite among regulars), spaghetti with marinara, and veggie lasagna.
Of course, Prima Pasta also serves a meat-laden menu to its customers with some similar options. Try the Alfredo with grilled chicken or shrimp, the spaghetti with meatballs, or the lasagna with its classic ingredient, beef. No matter what you order—pizza, pasta, or classic entree—it will always be fresh, since chefs craft everything in-house every day. And the menu changes every week to incorporate a few new dishes, so while your tried-and-trued standards are always offered, so are some fresh options every time you visit.

You keep up with your baby’s development with regular doctor visits throughout your pregnancy, but you want to stay informed in between visits, too. Innovative pregnancy apps help to provide a bit of extra peace of mind for expectant mothers, and they enable you to follow along with the incredible ways in which your baby is growing. Here are some of the best pregnancy apps for your mobile device.
Pregnancy & Baby
This app, developed by the creators of the popular "What to Expect When You’re Expecting" pregnancy brand, offers access to a wealth of parenting news and tips for keeping your baby healthy. A daily tracker shows a countdown to your due date and uses everyday objects to illustrate the size of your baby, and it also personalizes information based on your pregnancy progress.
My Pregnancy Today
View your baby’s growth and development in real time with the My Pregnancy Today app. Accurate, realistic illustrations detail what your baby looks like and help you to better understand your pregnancy, while an interactive checklist provides helpful tips for health and nutrition. There’s also a home screen widget that enables you to visualize your baby’s growth by comparing it to common objects, like a pumpkin or a poppy seed.
A Houston restaurant with a community feel, Brasil is a nice spot to work on a project or grab a bite for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The three owners used their very different backgrounds to create a place the whole community can enjoy, whether it be local food, craft beers, or scrumptious desserts.
For breakfast, choose from bagels, pancakes with fresh toppings like fruits and roasted nuts, or breakfast tacos loaded with eggs, bacon, and savory sauces. For lunch and dinner, start off with an appetizer like the brie with almond and fruit or the falafel flatbread with hummus, tomatoes, and tzatziki. For your main entree, choose from expertly made sandwiches, burgers, or order a pizza to share with the table. Pizzas come with a variety of cheese, meats like all-beef sausage and bacon, and savory spices.
