We had a long, relaxing weekend here in Dallas. Despite the beautiful evening on Friday, we decided to stay in and cook. The minute Matt arrived home from work, we popped open this bottle of cab (gift, I think?) and drank a glass out on our little balcony. It was a great way to kick off the weekend. I picked up some extra thick pork chops for dinner and we cooked them with apples and bacon brussels. What a perfect…

Where do I even start? NYC is just so amazing. And the food, oh the food!! I arrived on Thursday and was able to meet Matt for a quick lunch in Hell’s Kitchen. We dined at a Thai-French fusion cafe called Breeze and scored a little table right on the patio/sidewalk. The spicy duck salad and peanut curry shrimp were both tasty and lighter than your typical thai food. Perfect lunch! Matt had to get back to work, so I…
-I’m Manhattan bound for the big 2-8! Matt had business in NYC, so I’m meeting him there today for my birthday weekend. I think I’ve dreamed about a fall getaway in NYC since I was a little girl. I always visited friends during college summer and winter breaks and don’t think I’ve ever been in the fall! -Is anyone still reading? I know my posts have been lackluster as of late. What can I say? My life was a bit…
It was an extraordinary weekend here in Dallas because my mom was visiting and I experienced the Texas vs. OU rivalry for the first time! My mom was attending a conference and only had one night free to hang out, so there was pressure to find a really awesome restaurant for her one dinner in Dallas. Luckily, I was able to snag a reservation at a new gastropub called Savor. We grabbed cocktails for happy hour and then walked to…
Hi Guys, What’s new out there? Nothing exciting here except an awesome weekend. We ate in on Friday and then had some drinks with friends, which made for a nice low-key evening. Saturday was one of those cold rainy days where cuddling up in bed sounded perfect. But we grabbed brunch with friends in a cute neighborhood and tried some vegan cupcakes that were good but made me feel gross. I am not a fan of soy! For dinner, we…
There’s nothing like a Friday happy hour, right? Because that hour is often the happiest of the weekend! It’s funny how quickly the time passes after that point. I got to meet Matt’s new coworkers at happy hour – they are lots of fun and had me laughing the whole time. After happy hour, Matt and I headed to dinner at Sfuzzi because, you guessed it, we had a Groupon! I loved the outdoor patio and the food was decent,…
I’m obsessed with this new eggplant dip I found at WF. It’s tangy and sooo good with sweet potato chips. I made Kath’s pumpkin meatloaf this week! Yes, it’s ugly, but that’s because I made a one-person portion [excuses] and just kinda formed it in one corner of the loaf pan. The upside was that all the sides were crunchy end pieces. I also added bourbon in place of the water in the sauce:) I loved the pumpkin sauce so…
Hope yall had a pleasant weekend. Matt and I stayed in on Friday night and popped open a bottle of wine from our last visit to Charlottesville wine country. I really love sipping wine while cooking. And Friday’s dinner took quite a while to prepare…I finally got around to trying the famous cauliflower pizza crust that’s been floating around the web. There are tons of recipes out there, but I used this one (with real eggs) so I could use…
