MAD Greens in the Oaks at Lakeway: Celebrating National Salad Week with a Free Salad

Written by Mandy Spivey | September 14, 2016

September 12-18 is National Salad Week and that’s good news for over 80% of US adults who don’t get the recommended daily amount of fruits and veggies based on a report by the Center for Disease Control in 2015.

Adults should get a cup and a half to two cups of fruit every day and two to three cups of vegetables. When you look at it like that, it is quite a bit of green to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Take in your daily vitamins and enjoy your lunch with a fresh made-to-order salad, panini, cup of soup or recharge with a freshly-squeezed juice at the juice bar at the newly-opened MAD Greens in the Oaks at Lakeway. It’s the subtle salad joint that we’ve been missing in the Lake Travis area, ready to serve up healthy and creative meals for every type of eater.

Written by Mandy Spivey | June 29, 2016

When you think about going out to enjoy some art, where do you go?

It’s easy to hop in the car and head to downtown Austin to find your taste of live music, colorful paintings and even a theater performance or two. But what about the spectacular art happening in your own backyard?

Spicewood is our neighbor to the southwest that just seems to be teeming with artists of all kinds. From guitar pickin’ musicians to blown glass artists to writers, it’s a very vibrant world in the Hill Country, and the Spicewood Arts Society has been working since 2000 to bring these works to the Lake Travis community.
