I’m continuing my car shopping journey with you gu I’m continuing my car shopping journey with you guys. The one I’m sharing today was top of my list initially when I was planning  to stick with a gas powered car. The BMW X7 is the ultimate driving machine and honestly one of the best family vehicles. 
I loved the drive of this vehicle. Years ago I  owned a BMW X5 and I absolutely loved it. The drive was amazing. I have a need for speed.
So the X5 was right up my alley. If they had the X7 years ago I would have purchased it. So I decided to check out the X7. I loved the drive of this one, the inside had captain seats, comfy, the exterior blue was pretty, loved the low profile tires. Really cool looking vehicle, drove great. After driving this one I realized that I wanted to go with something smaller. The drive was amazing on this one and it was really nice. The service at the Katy BMW location was terrible. So if I would have wanted a BMW I would’ve definitely  not purchased there. Which was shocking because normally service at BMW is great. 
But I will say if you are looking for a 7 seater vehicle check this one out. The price tag on this one was $135,000. @bmw

It’s been a while since I’ve shared a fashion Frid It’s been a while since I’ve shared a fashion Friday post. But I’m back. Stay tuned, I have a lot of cool videos coming. This week’s post is of the NEW Nike Mind 001 Slide. These released last week. Sold out in all colors in a matter of minutes 🤯🤯

Nike has been working on these for years. 
Mind 001 is Nike’s newest creation, designed by neuroscientist. It’s been said that they can make you more Calmer, focused and in the moment. 

Will these replace everyday slides, crocs or Yeezy’s? Possibly! 

My thoughts they are visually cool looking. Futuristic look and I love the styling. They were comfy to me. 

I purchased these for my daughter. She said they were comfortable pre game, and she said she wouldn’t admit that she was more focused and relaxed. She said she was surprised how comfy they were. 
They are loud on basketball courts. She jokingly said she felt like Squidward from SpongeBob with the noise that it made😂😂😂. Kind of funny. 
Overall she loved the style and color of these

It’s the beginning of the year, which means it’s t It’s the beginning of the year, which means it’s time to reset. Reset in rest, reset in finances, reset our schedule, plans, etc. One of things that we reset at the top of every year is our spending. We reset by setting our budget for the year, we start discussing our vacation plans for Spring Break and Summer vacation. This allows us to reset our finances after the holidays. One of things we do in resetting our finances is we make a decision to avoid eating out as much during the week. Which means I may have to make some of our favorite things at home.
Here is one of my favorite things to drink from Starbucks, Mango Dragonfruit Refresher. Did you know that Starbucks now sells the Starbucks Refresher Concentrate in stores. Link in the bio for this recipe. 
I ordered the Starbucks Refresher Concentrate for me to try at home. I made my own version of the drink with a twist.

Hey guys!! It’s been a minute since I’ve posted a Hey guys!! It’s been a minute since I’ve posted a recipe or blog post via my website. I had to move my website to a new host site due to repeated outages. But I am back!! I have lots of NEW recipes ahead as well as cool family updates and fun!

As the new year is here, we are working to be more mindful in our meal preps. This is a new healthy recipe, Salmon bites Mediterranean bowl. The Salmon was seasoned with the Afia Z’atar seasoning which is a “Savor the rich flavors of the Mediterranean with Afia’s blend for Za’atar, a staple in the Levant that combines crunchy sesame seeds and the tang of sumac with earthy herbs, creating a harmonious symphony for your taste buds. Set out dishes of za’atar and olive oil with your bread for a delish snack, or add to dips, sauces and marinades”.

#Unboxing the Echo Show I’ve been wanting this de #Unboxing the Echo Show 
I’ve been wanting this device for our home for a while. Our lives has gotten really busy, I try to keep us organized but adding everyone’s event to a calendar. But I wanted to go all digital, so we purchased the Echo Show. My Echo Show is the stunning 21” Full-HD, smart display with built-in Fire TV and its support for Alexa+. This is the  largest screen. It’s perfect for your kitchen and built to show you more. 
I love it so much from reminders, appointments to games, to watching TV while I cook, photo displays, creating a grocery list, a nighttime routine and much more. It can even help you plan trips. It’s like having a personal assistant. 
I’ve linked mine as well as the stand.

BunSlut is serving all halal beef smash burgers, f BunSlut is serving all halal beef smash burgers, fries and delicious shakes. Located in the Katy Food Hall. 

My crew and I were in Katy last weekend and we stopped at the Katy Food Hall for lunch. We had never been to a Bun Slut location so we decided to try it out. Here’s what we tried:
* Our son had the Single smash burger
* Our daughter had the Slutty Melt
* My husband had the Double smash burger
* I had the New Slider combo with spicy cheese fries
* Fruity Pebbles milkshake 
The food was really good. Some really good Smashburgers. The milkshake was so good. One of the best milkshakes I’ve ever eaten.

Some days you wake up and you have some things wei Some days you wake up and you have some things weighing heavy on your heart. My routine on mornings like these are  a morning walk, worship music and prayer with the Lord. 
I always remind myself that He’s our source of strength through all that we walkthrough. He’s always working things out for our good! “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭28‬ ‭NIV‬‬
 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬
This walk and time with God was just what I needed. I’m ready for the day. Happy Wednesday make it a good one!

We had a great time in Tyler, TX. On our way out o We had a great time in Tyler, TX. On our way out of the area, we stopped at a cute spot called Roost. Roost is serving up handcrafted meals. Their menu consist of Chicken salad with 9 different versions, sandwiches, southern salads, an all day breakfast menu and delicious sweet treats. It was such a cute spot. 

Here’s what we tried:
 Fruity pebbles cinnamon roll - cinnamon roll was huge! Pretty good. 
Kid’s Mac n cheese - similar to Kraft and cheese but our son loved it. 
Double scoop Southern chicken salad - this one had a slight kick from the jalapeño, would have really been southern by seasoning with either old bay seasoning or slap ya mama.But it was good. Served on toasted white bread. 
The Roasted Poblano Soup was superb. Perfect for that overcast, cold day. 
Husband had the Double scoop roost chicken salad on toasted white bread - classic chicken salad, pretty good. 

We took the dishes to go, but the staff was really nice and they packed everything nicely in the bag.. 

Roost in Tyler is located at  5377 South Broadway Avenue, Tyler, TX 75703.

We are officially back to the grind. It was hard g We are officially back to the grind. It was hard getting back to our early morning routine. My kids don’t officially go back until tomorrow. But I had to get get back to my regular scheduled program 😂😂
Lots of content coming. I’m Super excited for what’s ahead for Da’Stylish Foodie in 2026. 
I hope that everyone had a great time during the holidays with their families. We sure did! 
Back to routine means back to easy simple meals at home. This Mediterranean style flatbread was a hit at home. Even my picky teenager ate it. So it’s always a win when everyone loves the meal. So easy to prepare in under 20 minutes.

I’m back with another car review. As I stated in m I’m back with another car review. As I stated in my last review, I’m on the hunt for a new vehicle. The big dilemma do we need two 7 seaters or should I get something smaller and cooler 😂😂 since our teen has her own whip 😂
Next on the list Cadillac IQ vs Vistiq. 

I don’t have footage on the IQ because I test drove this one months ago and just wanted to see since it was newly released. My honest opinion. The IQ is awesome. A really visually nice vehicle. But it’s massive! But comfy, cozy and the kids loved it. Plus it was all electric. Love that! But I wasn’t sure for several reasons, it’s huge, it’s over $120,000. That’s crazy. That’s a rental property or a beach house. So I wasn’t sold. 

A few months later I test drove the Vistiq and it was like a baby Escalade IQ. Everything you love about the IQ but smaller and compact version. Plus it’s electric as well. The vehicle had a version of self driving similar to the Tesla. 

The vehicle is really nice. Well done, price for Vistiq’s start at $65,000 much more reasonably price. They had a few options style wise on the Vistiq. I liked the Sport Model Vistiq The top model the Platinum was $85,000 or so. Which is not bad for a 7 seater. 

I came close to getting this one but it didn’t feel like me. It was still a 7 seater but not as big. I’m not longer in the car pool phase of parenting. So I decided against it. It was hard because the salesman I had was amazing. He was really good but it just wasn’t the right fit for Me. I have to say any families looking for an electric SUV should look at this one. 

I will know when I see if it’s for me and drive it. @Cadillac

Looking for a place to grab a bite to eat while th Looking for a place to grab a bite to eat while the kids are out of school? Check out Via 313, the newest pizzeria in Cypress. Via 313 has some of the best pizza that I’ve had in the Houston area. We visited this spot with our teenager and she loved it. Via 313 is serving up Detroit style pizza. 
Be sure to check out what we tried in the video. @via313
Top food item that day was the Jalapeno Popper pizza. 😋😋😋
Service was great. Food overall was really good.

Looking for a spot to grab brunch or lunch with yo Looking for a spot to grab brunch or lunch with your family? Check out the new Katz’s in Memorial City. My crew and I were shopping in memorial city yesterday. We stopped in for lunch at the new Katz’s location. Crazy to believe that we’ve been here in Texas almost 8 years and we’ve never been to Katz’s. 
Here’s what we tried:
* Watermelon Sparkling refresher 
* Korean meatballs with pineapple slaw - appetizer was ok. Meatballs needed to be sauced evenly. The slaw balanced well with the gochujang sauce. Overall a pretty good appetizer. 
* I ordered the shrimp and sausage pastalya, I was disappointed with the pasta. Pasta was dry and wasn’t sauced well. The dish seemed rushed. Which shouldn’t have been because the restaurant wasn’t packed. As someone from Louisiana I know what this dish should’ve taste like. I did mention it to the waiter he bought more sauce out. I just took it to go. 
* Our son ordered the kids cheese pizza and fries. He enjoyed the dish. 
* Our daughter ordered the Chicken Alfredo pasta. The dish was presented well. Pasta was saucy and the chicken was cooked perfectly. 
* My husband ordered the chopped steak. Grilled beef patty served on a bed of mashed potatoes and topped with grilled onions and gravy. With a side of succotash. He enjoyed the dish. The patty was falling apart a little. Also wasn’t prepared to the Temp requested. But it was tasty. 
* We ended the dish with their famous cheesecake milkshake with strawberries and strawberry sauce. This milkshake was delicious. 
Overall the Katz’s is a beautiful restaurant. The taste of the dishes were really good. But the plating and dish preparations needed work. I will give them some grace maybe they were tired from working for Christmas the day before. But they should serve every dish with high quality. 
The service was really good. 
Favorite dishes were the milkshake and the chicken Alfredo. I will go back to try their brunch/breakfast menu. 
Remember they never Klose 😂

I have officially been on the hunt for a new vehic I have officially been on the hunt for a new vehicle. I’ve had my current vehicle, 2017 Infiniti QX80. That car has been amazing. I’ve loved driving it. Comfortable, spacious and lots of horsepower! We’ve had No major issues or anything. It’s been amazing for road trips, traveling to tournaments with our kids, going back and forth from Louisiana to Texas. My vehicle had over 100,000 miles so it’s time to say bye.
The big dilemma that I’ve had as I searched for a new vehicle is should I downsize to something smaller now that we have a teenager driver who has her own car and doesn’t ride with us much anymore? My husband already has a 7 seater so I don’t need another vehicle with a 7 seater. 
One thing I do know is that I want to go Electric Hmmm. Over the next few weeks I will share some of the favorite vehicles I’ve driven and what I’ve loved. 
First up, the Lucid Gravity. The Lucid Gravity is a 7 seater, electric families that are for families. It’s a top contender with the Tesla. 
Here’s what I loved, comfortable ride, spacious, smooth, multifunctional driving modes,  high tech and lots more. 
I didn’t like that the second row didn’t have captain seats, no rear entertainment and it felt like a mini van even though it had sport mode. Priced Over $100,000 
It will be a great options for mom’s who want an electric vehicle. 
The also have the Lucid Air which is the car option that’s really nice. I will have to go back and test drive that one.

Milkshakes are my favorite desserts. I love making Milkshakes are my favorite desserts. I love making peppermint milkshakes at home for my family. H-E-B has a Candy Cane ice cream. Now let me be honest, Blue Bell ice cream is normally my go to ice cream brand. I was a little hesitant to try H-E-B’s ice cream but I’m glad that I did. They have some of my favorite flavors like Banana nut, strawberry cheesecake, lemon bar and now this Candy Cane ice cream. It made the best Holiday milkshake. Superb.

I served the milkshake in these plastic cups, straws and spoons kit. 

Check out the video for the details on how to make this.

A few simple ingredients, kettle corn popcorn, chocolate morsels, marshmallows and I finished it with the NEW Candy Cane Finishing Sugar. I couldn’t stop eating this popcorn.

#ad It’s the season for Holiday movies and popcor #ad

It’s the season for Holiday movies and popcorn. Who doesn’t love good popcorn while watching Christmas movies? I love buttery, movie theater style popcorn. 
Popsmith Popping Corn allows you have theater popcorn right at home. The process is really easy. There is a Popsmith bundle that includes The Popsmith Popper, popping corn, either oh sooo buttery or kettle corn. The Popper is available in several colors. This popper was so easy to use. Delicious theater popcorn in 5 minutes. I will share a simple recipe I made with the popper in a few days. 

The Popsmith Popper has been on Oprah’s Favorite things list.  Available via their website or at high end retailers like Williams Sonoma, Crate and Barrel. I’ve added a link to their website in my bio. 

Take some time off and enjoy some delicious popcorn and watch a good holiday movie. I’ve watched some really good ones so far. @ilovepopsmith

Christmas decorating is always a lot of fun. 🎄🎄My Christmas decorating is always a lot of fun. 🎄🎄My family and I have had so many color combinations. This year we went with something different than what we’ve had in the past Though we kept it simple  this year, we were looking for something very specific.  We checked a few of our go to spots but didn’t have any luck. 
We decided to stop in at Craftex. Craftex is known for their design, decor and seasonal items. 
Craftex has some of the most unique Christmas decorations I’ve ever seen. Lots of size variations. Unique prints and colors. We found exactly what we were looking for. 
We plan to come every year to shop from now on. Really pretty pieces. It was packed though. Go early! @craftexinc

Over the years, we’ve been to several Bass Pro Sho Over the years, we’ve been to several Bass Pro Shops stores.
Fun fact about us, we used to own a Nitro Z8 Bass boat. My husband used to Bass fish on the weekends in Louisiana before we moved to Texas. 
Because of our boat ownership, we often visit the Bass Pro Shops when we travel. 
We visited a brand new one in Tyler, TX located in The Village at Cumberland Park.  While our teenager was with her 🏀 team, we did a little shopping. 

The Village is a great place to shop. Lots of stores in this area. 

The new Bass pro shop was really nice. Not very big but had a lot of the great things that most of the stores have. 

One of the best things was the Lodge style setup as soon as you walked in. So welcoming, comfy and cozy. I even sat awhile and enjoyed the fireplace. Really nice. 

Add this area to your list if you travel to Tyler, TX for basketball tournaments. There is even a hotel right in the Village at Cumberland Park.
