I Am... Cadillac Road to Table: Dallas
A couple weeks ago I was invited to Dallas to go to a Saveur Magazine/Cadillac event hosted at Oak. Of course, I jumped at the chance. Usually I'm a down-home kind of girl who spends her Friday nights in, so heading out to a glitzy-glamourous event was a bit of a dream. I threw on a little black dress (festooned with cats, of course), my ankle boots (we were in Texas, after all!) and got to ride in a fancy Cadillac and have dinner at the gorgeous Oak restaurant.

I Am... Friday Links: 10.3.2014
The days are sunny and crisp, the nights are chilly and I've been indulging in pumpkin everything every day. It's truly October! I know I sound like a broken record, but I really can't believe this week is over already. It really went by in a flash. I spent a bunch of time with friends, got a bunch of work done, and gave a dear friend a birthday present that was the perfect combination of thoughtful and trashy.

I Am... Pumpkin Spice Latte Syrup Recipe
It's finally October! October means two things: 1.) Pumpkin season has begun in earnest and 2.) I will not apologize or hide my pumpkin obsession any longer. Everyone makes fun of pumpkin spice, but you know what? Millions of people can't be wrong. Pumpkin spice lattes might be a clever marketing ploy, but I'm down with pumpkin and I'm down with spice.

I Am... Friday Links: 9.26.2014
It's finally officially Fall and I'm loving it! Today I made a big ol' pot of bolognese and this weekend I'm looking forward to making a lot of super hearty, fall-friendly dishes. I'm going to hole up, finally watch The Fault in Our Stars and be prepared to bawl my eyes out. While I'm doing that, Mike will most likely be in the other room, rolling his eyes at me.

I Am... Chinese Sausage Carbonara Recipe
I wish I was one of those put-together people who have the foresight to have a fully stocked pantry and fridge. Instead, when I open up my fridge, I'm usually looking at limp, forgotten lettuce and frozen peas. I'm forever heading to the grocery store before cooking. It drives Mike crazy but I've never been able to do crazy large grocery runs.

I Am... Honey Garlic Eggplant Recipe
My mom's a huge gardener and she always has been. Even when she was a little kid, she spent her days helping my grandma in the garden. Now, even though she's living in the middle of the city with a concrete patch for a backyard, she's still growing as much as she can. I love going over to pick out fruits and vegetables. It's kind of like having your own personal mini farm. And, as she always likes to remind me, it's all completely organic.

It's Friday! I went on a whirlwind trip to Dallas and ate chicken fried steak twice, rode in some Cadillacs and had a giant steak! I had a ton of fun but I'm kind of exhausted too. I'm going to do a post on Dallas soon, but in the meantime, this is what I've been looking at online.

I Am... Green Grilled Cheese Recipe
I've been wanting to make a green grilled cheese forever. I mean, yes, I've put brussel sprouts and broccoli in my grilled cheeses, but never have I ever used spinach in a grilled cheese. This particular green grilled cheese recipe comes to us from Jessica's book, Seriously Delish! If you've ever visited Jessica's blog, How Sweet it Is, you know how entirely awesome she happens to be. She loves trashing things up in a way that is incredibly on point and every time she posts I wish I could reach into my monitor and feast.

I Am... Mini Caprese Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe
Sometimes in the middle of the night I'll sneak out of bed into the darkened kitchen, open up the fridge and stand in the light of the refrigerator while I contemplate snacks to sate my hunger. Cheese has always got my back – its versatility is second to none. For a treat, I'll melt it between two golden brown buttered crispy pieces of bread. If I want to make it even more indulgent, I'll add sweet juicy tomatoes and fresh basil to bring the whole thing over the top. A caprese grilled cheese is always a good thing in my books.
