I Am... How to make: Fruity Pebble Pancakes
Are you a pancake experimenter? Usually I keep my pancakes plain (aside from chocolate chips) and let the toppings be as wild as possible. I find that it's a good compromise if I'm making pancakes for a bunch of people – not everyone likes fruit or nuts. Even when making pancakes for myself, I'm not huge into putting things into the batter, but this week I decided to go a little crazy. I had a couple of leftover Fruity Pebble Meringues and the thought of crispy-crunchy meringues inside pancakes got me all excited so I rolled with it.

I Am... Friday Finds: 4.10.15
Mike and started the week with some takeout Chinese BBQ and I have a feeling that we're going to have some again this weekend as well. It's been a takeout kind of week. Not that we've actually eaten takeout at all (other than that one time), but this week has just been killer. I need some trashy food and weekend waffles, stat!

I Am... Sliders with Jalapeno Burger Sauce
I am loving Spring. The days are getting longer and it's finally starting to warm up. Mike and I sat on our deck yesterday and soaked up the sun. I even needed a hat – it was glorious. Now that warmer weather is approaching, my mind is starting to turn to all the delicious things we are going to eat outside.

I Am... Fruity Pebble Meringues
When I was little and the pickiest eater in all the land, one of the few things that my mom knew I would consistently eat was sugary cereal. You know how they say that you should let picky kids just starve until they'll eat whatever you put in front of them? Yeah, that didn't quite work for me. After multiple hunger strikes (we're talking all day affairs), my mom finally learned that if I didn't like it, I wasn't going to eat it. That meant that sometimes, when I wasn't eating plain rice, I would get to eat cereal for dinner.

I Am... Potato Slider Buns
Happy Easter Sunday guys! Hope everyone is having a fabulous one. We’re heading out for dim sum brunch with my family, but when we get home we’ll have these soft and fluffy potato buns waiting for us. Usually on Sunday I’ll share a brunch recipe, and technically I guess potato buns aren’t really a brunch food, but I hope you’ll forgive me because I couldn’t let Easter go by without making some sort of bun(ny)-type food. Plus, these buns can easily be brunch-ifed: just tuck in some soft scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and cheese for a quick breakfast sandwich.

I Am... Friday Finds 4.3.15
Guys, I had the best week! It started out kind of rough, but now I'm feeling more grounded, centered, and ultimately, happier. For a while there I was kind of going through a whole, I must control everything phase – I'm a perfectionist, which is just a polite way for extremely picky people to say that they must have everything just so. But since it's spring, I'm taking a page from Elsa's book and just letting it go.

I Am... Crispy Oven Fried Panko Chicken Thighs
It's April Fools – are you guys fans of April Fool's day jokes? I totally wanted to one here, but I didn't get my shit together in time so all I have are these crispy oven baked thighs, which isn't much of a loss in my books, but I do get a kick out of funny pranks!

I Am... Jalapeno Popper Deviled Eggs
If I see deviled eggs at a party, you betcha I'm going to be there, eating them all up before anyone else has a chance. Okay, kidding, I'd never eat ALL of them. I'd just have an egg or two extra and hope for leftovers. I'm all about the deviled eggs. They're cool, creamy, and oh so delicious. And they're perfect for bringing to baby showers!

I Am... Friday Finds: 3.27.2015
Whomp! It's Friday, again. This week I've been thinking a lot about chips. Are you guys chip fans? My absolute favorite are kettle cooked chips; I'll take kettle cooked chips over regular any day. In a pinch I'll do Pringles, but they're not my fave. Sometimes I think I should start my own artisanal chip company just so I could eat freshly fried chips all the time. I'm obsessed with wish chips (chips that are folded over themselves that offer maximum crunch) so I'd make sure that every chip was a wish chip. It'd be a blast coming up with all the flavours. If you guys could own a factory, what would it be?!

I Am... Tofu Fries with Sesame Honey Garlic
Do you guys ever google people you know? This morning I went on a little indulgent google search for people that I've lost touch with (okay fine, I was really googling my and Mike's exes for fun). Five minutes later I came up with nothing, and got bored, but then I started freaking out because my life is basically an open book on the internet...

I Am... Broccoli Soba Bowl Recipe
This is the kind of super simple meal I throw together when I don't have much in the fridge – maybe just a couple of languishing stalks of broccoli. This happens more often than I'd like because I'm really bad at making grocery lists. You know how they tell you to not go to the grocery store and shop when you're hungry? Well, if I go to the grocery store when I'm not hungry I end up buying next to nothing. If I don't have list, it's even worse.
