I Am... Sour Cream and Cheddar Drop Biscuit Breakfast Sandwiches
I have a thing for biscuits. Or scones. Actually I'm not sure what the difference is between biscuits and scones. Regardless of what they're called, they're delicious and I pretty much eat them indiscriminately. I'll randomly get an intense biscuit/scone craving and I'll go on searches for the best in town.

I Am... The Ultimate Veggie Sandwich
It's my birthday today! Are you guys big on celebrating your birthday? For as long as I remember, my birthday has been an obsession of mine. It's probably just a bit (okay, a lot) egotistical, but I just love the idea of a day celebrating me. I like planning elaborate themed parties with tons of friends (DIY grilled cheese party anyone?), but I also love the flip side of that – spending a day celebrating, just me and my boo.

I Am... Bacon and Egg Breakfast Ramen
Sunday Brunch is back, baby! I dropped the ball on that one for a little bit, but now that the weather is cooling off a bit, Sunday Brunch is back with a bang. I absolutely love Sunday brunch and I can't think of a better way to re-introduce my favorite series than with this bacon and egg breakfast ramen.

I Am... Mini No-Knead Pizzas
If you could choose between one giant pizza with your favorite topping or many, many (16, exactly) little pizzas with lots of different combinations of toppings, what would you chose? Hands down, I'd chose the mini pizzas, for two reasons: their undeniable cuteness and the variety.

I Am... Summer Session Old Fashioneds
Do you love it when it rains in the summer? I love the respite from the heat, the sound of the rain beating down on the windows, and that little bit of coziness in an otherwise decidedly un-cozy season. I like to curl up in an armchair with a good drink in hand and just dream away the afternoon.

I Am... Friday Finds: 8.28.15
Another week just flew by and I cannot believe we're almost into September, which happens to be my favorite month of all. As a super geeky kid, I LOVED back to school, so September always reminds me of fresh new pencils, unmarred notebooks, and crispy-crunchy fall days. Plus, it's my birthday month, so there's that! As much as I love summer, I'm looking forward to fall. I just want me some cozy sweaters, pumpkin spice lattes, and hearty stew. I know, I know, I'm a cliche.

I Am... Meatball Parmesan Sliders
They say the way into someone's heart is a through their stomach. In my case, I have a sandwich shaped keyhole in my tummy that will let you right in – I absolutely love sandwiches. Earlier this year, while Mike and I were in NYC, we planned a little walking/eating tour from our hotel in Soho all the way to Smorgasburg, in Brooklyn.

I Am... Spicy Chicken Meatballs and Grilled Cheese Skewers
I'm an extremist. I like excess, but I like restraint too. Sometimes, when there's too much to choose from I get choice paralysis. If I'm not careful, when I'm at the grocery store, I'll buy a bit of everything and realize that I don't have ingredients to make any specific thing. It helps if I bring along lists or have a clear idea of what I'm going to make. Sometimes though, I make the best things when I'm restricted.

I Am... Smoked Gouda Potato Pancakes
Are you the kind of person that likes to hang out near the passed appetizers at a party? I've been known to awkwardly stalk the waitstaff coming out of the kitchen in hopes to get first dibs on the freshest bite-sized, handheld deliciousness. I just love tiny, bite sized food. What I don't love is when appetizers don't live up to my expectations – I'm looking at you, sad spinach dip (just kidding, I love spinach dip!). Fear not, I'm pretty sure all appetizers have the potential to be awesome.

I Am... Thyme for Gin & Tonics
Hey guys...it's thyme for some G&Ts! Heehee, sorry I'm so not very punny, but I just couldn't resist. Anyway, the lovely Sherrie and Renee are hosting a big ol' boozy (and non-boozy) #drinkthesummer bash and I thought I'd bring the ever classy gin and tonic. Gin and tonics are super simple, and as with most super simple things, easy to mess up. Because there are essentially only two ingredients, they better be the best damn two ingredients you can get your hands on.

I Am... Avocado Pasta Recipe
Avocado pasta has been floating around the internet forever but even though I have a major obsession with avocados, I was never compelled to give it a go. I just couldn't really imagine warm avocado sauce. It's not that I had a problem with warm avocados – I've had avocado fries (deep-fried tempura avocado) and they're delicious! As was this pasta, when I finally decided to give it a try.

I Am... Friday Finds: 8.14.15
On Wednesday night Mike and I checked out The Perseids. At midnight we hopped in our car and drove down a deserted ghostly highway to make our way past the edge of the city to where the water laps the shore. We spread out our blanket, I tucked myself into Mike's arm and we let our eyes adjust to the blackest of nights – thank you, new moon. It took a while, but we saw two giant shooting stars together and two tiny ones, separately. I would have lay out there forever but somehow I missed the memo on how you're supposed to dress in the middle of the night in summer. After a while my shivering became too apparent to ignore so we headed home. But it was a blast and they're still on so we might just head out again tonight.
