I Am... Sunday Stuff 8.03.2014
Happy August guys! I feel like I say this every month, but I just can't believe how fast July has flown by. I'm looking forward to those long, lazy days of the end of summer and dare I say it, maybe even the start of fall? Actually, yes, I'll just go ahead and proclaim my love for fall now. Cozy sweaters, crunchy leaves, cold noses, I love it all! But before I get too ahead of myself, here's what I've been reading, drooling over and loving on the internet.

I Am... Pulled Pork Fried Rice Recipe
When I have a bunch of leftover meat I tend to make fried rice. I've made it with leftover fried chicken, porchetta and yes, even pulled pork. Pulled pork fried rice is definitely a bestovers kind of thing. You can clean out your fridge and make something that is almost even more delicious than its starting point.

I Am... Mini Grilled Cheese Cakes Recipe
If you read this blog regularly, you'll know that I have a slight obsession with grilled cheese sandwiches. I even threw myself a grilled cheese themed birthday party. It was pretty awesome, if I do say so myself. I had a grilling station, different kinds of bread, a bunch of add-ins and, of course, a chip bar. Turns out that a lot of my friends hadn't made grilled cheese before!

I Am... Banh Mi Fries Recipe
Em and Gina are hosting a potluck! There are a bunch of lovely people joining in and tons of delicious food being made. Check it out here and here! Are you guys a fan of potlucks? I love having a bunch of people coming together and bringing out their favourite dish. There'll inevitably be too many desserts (which is always a good thing) and usually, at least in the case of the potlucks that I've been to, the oven will be overstuffed with people trying to warm their dishes at the last minute. The solution? Bring something that doesn't need to be warmed up in the oven. Of course, you could go with a lovely cold pasta salad or a fancy deviled egg, but if you're anything like me, you'll bring over all the fixings for banh mi fries.

I Am... Raspberry Mint Julep Recipe
Do you guys like to keep your various groups of friends separate or do you let them mingle? Generally, I like to lump all of my friends together at dinners and parties – I figure all my friends like me, so they already have one thing in common. But, just this past weekend, two very dear friends of mine met for the first time. What made it even more interesting is that we invited them both to stay the weekend. Luckily they got along quite well and there were no fisticuffs.

I Am... Crispy Honey Garlic Soy Baked Chicken Wing Recipe
The other day I woke up from a recurring nightmare that I have that's somewhat based on reality. In my dream, it's minutes before a big party with all of my friends and family. Chicken wings are on the menu – there's a reason I keep seeing chicken wings labelled as party wings after all. I put the wings in the oven at 3:00 and set the timer. All of a sudden there's smoke pouring out the the oven and the timer's flashing 13:00. I'm worried about smoke inhalation, the house burning down and whether or not the chicken wings will be salvageable.

I Am... Sunday Stuff
Do you think the week starts or ends on Sunday? I've always considered Sunday the beginning of the week, but a lot of people (including Mike) argue that it's the end of the week. I guess there's something to both sides of the argument. Regardless, it's Sunday so I thought I'd do a little recap of what I've been up to.

I Am... Easy Pistachio Cherry Tart Recipe
I absolutely LOVE cherries. Artificial cherry flavour has a bad reputation, but it's my absolute favourite fake flavour (lollipops, jello, popsicles). I love fresh cherries even more than fake ones and nothing says summer to me more than cherries. Growing up in Vancouver meant that summertimes were made for road-tripping it down to the Okanagan Valley to pick fruit at all the U-Pick orchards.

I Am... Caramelized Banana French Toast Recipe
I once knew someone who was allergic to bananas. Okay, I say "knew" very loosely – I knew someone who knew of them. A friend of mine worked in a building where Banana-Allergic girl worked. It was kind of crazy. There were NO BANANA signs everywhere. It was pretty intense. Apparently they had a couple of banana lock downs, I kid you not.

I Am... Crispy Sriracha Honey Lime Tofu Recipe
Tofu: do you love it or hate it? I'm definitely a lover. Sometimes, when I'm prepping up a block, I'll sneak a bite or two, of cold, unadorned tofu. I'm probably one of the few people in the world who likes to do that, but there's just something about tofu in it's pure state that is so incredibly satisfying to me. Soft/silken tofu, block tofu, egg tofu, tofu puffs, dry tofu, there are so many types of tofu in the world and I love them all!

I Am... Bacon and Egg Grilled Cheese Breakfast Sandwich Recipe
I have a thing for breakfast sandwiches and grilled cheese. With a current abundance of potato rolls some of them inevitably ended up as grilled cheese breakfast sandwiches. But, as you can see from the pictures, I didn't put the cheese inside. Nope, no melty cheese here. It's all crispy, crunchy, frico-style cheese for the win!
