MEET THE MOTHER–DAUGHTER TEAM BEHIND BOERNE SIPS NUTRITION

Boerne Sips Nutrition feels like one of those places that’s always been part of town, and once you know the story, it makes perfect sense. Owned by mother and daughter Cindy and Azteca Crawford, this calm, welcoming spot just off Main Street has quietly become a go-to hangout for teens, young adults, and anyone looking for a healthy pick-me-up.

Their journey came full circle when they bought the shop and brought it back to life under the Boerne Sips Nutrition name, turning it into more than just a place for protein shakes and energy teas.

H-E-B NAMED BEST GROCERY STORE IN AMERICA — AGAIN

H-E-B has once again been named the best grocery store in the United States, topping national names like Trader Joe’s and Costco in dunnhumby’s annual Retailer Preference Index. This marks four consecutive years at number one for the Texas-based grocer.

HAVE YOU HAD THE MEATBALL SANDWICH AT PIZZA VOLTERRA?

The meatball sandwich from our partners at Pizza Volterra is less of a sandwich and more of a full-on event. House-made meatballs, rich tomato sauce, plenty of melted cheese, and bread that’s basically pizza crust all come together for a massive treat.

Easily big enough to split and still leave everyone full, and honestly one of those orders that could feed two (maybe even three) people.

Fair warning: Pizza Volterra is known to sell out, so ordering ahead is a smart move.

Visit them at 605 S Main St. or see the menu at https://www.pizzavolterra.com/
