I’m not going to lie – I definitely do my best recipe brainstorming as I lay in bed at night, right when I’m about to fall asleep. Most of the time, nothing much comes out of it since I have an incredible ability to fall asleep within 30 seconds flat, but one night, my brain was really going, because I was thinking about something super important: how I could get more runny egg pizza in my life.
You know, normal things normal people think about.
Epic ice cream cones (and my best friend/ice cream model Kate) at Nancy’s in New Buffalo, MI
Hey everyone! Hope you’re having a great week. I had an awesome weekend eating all the things and drinking lots of wine with my girlfriends – we rented a house by the lake in New Buffalo, MI. Eating highlights included: spicy sriracha chex mix in the car, rooftop drinks and eats at The Stray Dog, serious scoops at Nancy’s ice cream, and our homemade bacon and roasted asparagus risotto. Oh, and s’mores. So many s’mores. It was the best!
I have a life lesson for you that I personally think is best learned as early in life as possible.
If you want to host a brunch and look super fancy and put together and Martha Stewart-y…make a frittata. I mean, just the word sounds fancy! It’s everything you want in a brunch dish – eggs and cheese and delicious fresh veggie things (and bacon, of course). Only you have to know that it’s really just a quiche without the work, a quick sauté and a whisk and a few minutes in the oven. Really, it’s the easiest thing in the entire world. Add a fruit salad and some mimosas and sit back and let the compliments come in!
Guys…I HATE winter.
I hate that it takes me 5 solid minutes of intense bundling to run to the grocery store. I hate that it gets dark at 4pm. I super-hate running on the treadmill. And I super-super-hate polar vortexes. I grew up in Southern California and my body just. can’t. deal.
