Welcome to Fresh x Espresso
Hey, hey - so happy you joined me today! I’m Rachael, a Texas gal raised in Dallas, residing in Houston, and occasionally making moves in Austin.
I’m a woman of many interests -
delicious food from the melting pot of cultures that live in this huge state
tasty drinks crafted by talented and amateur mixologists (it’s me, I’m the amateur)
cool destinations across Texas’ major cities
and creative writing that helps highlight the life and leisure I’m privileged to have
What to expect on Fresh x Espresso
I’m a God-fearing woman who goes to church on Sundays before brunch and pencils in a bible study before dinner or happy hour. While you’re sure to find lifestyle blog posts about food, drinks, travel and leisure, I know the life I’m privileged to live is because of God and I’m humbled yet proud to share it. I’m in this world - but not of it - and my hope is you see God in what I choose to share on this blog.
What does Fresh x Espresso mean?
I earned my degree from the University of Houston, but moved back home to Dallas after I graduated and have lived there my entire postgraduate career. In 2024 I decided to move back to Houston to have a change of pace and scenery, so I’m calling this move a fresh start (hence the “Fresh” in Fresh x Espresso). Combine that with espresso martinis, the go-to cocktail I order when I’m out at restaurant or bar, birthed the name “Fresh x Espresso”, symbolizing my new or renewed experiences.
