The Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich

On the weekends I crave breakfast sandwiches. Sometimes I sit on the couch with my coffee and try to will one to appear. Actually, I am trying to send Casey some mental vibes…like in my head I’m yelling GET ME A BREAKFAST SANDWICH (in a sweet voice, though). It never works. I take that back. It only works when we’re hungover but then we have to motivate each other to get in the car and pick one up. And then there’s this mental warfare of like should I? Shouldn’t I? How am I gonna feel? Is that stuff really food? I suppose that’s why it’s a no brainer to get a breakfast sandwich when we leave on road trips. You just carry on with your business and don’t have wrappers in your trash at home…staring at you all day.

I was looking through the latest Bon Appetit magazine and this recipe for Homemade Breakfast Sausage caught my eye… It’s an ingredient to their “Best Breakfast Sandwich.” Well, yes. Thank you for luring me in like a moth to a flame, BA.

So, when I’m sitting on the couch fantasizing about breakfast sandwiches, I often think about omitting the bread and sandwiching sausage, cheese & egg in between two crispy hash brown patties. Here it is and IT IS THE ULTIMATE BREAKFAST SANDWICH. Don’t fight me on this. Welcome to Indulgentville. Population 2. We’re saving this beauty for special occasions….like I drank too much bourbon on a Friday night and it’s Saturday morning and I want something super savory and need you to make me a coffee before I talk to you k thanks bye, occasion.

Turkey White Bean Chili

Our kitchen is done and I can’t wait to show you! Here’s the BEFORE if you don’t know what I’m talking about. Yesterday I spent all day putting things away. It almost felt like we moved and we were unpacking. I traveled to the grocery store to fill up our cabinets with essentials for the week, hoping to escape the wrath of the Patriots game. Ugh. But I came home with the ingredients to make this Turkey White Bean Chili and somehow it lessened the blow.

Chili is just an excuse to eat alllllllll the toppings. I love them all.

This chili will only get better as days go on. For day one, I was super impressed. If you like hearty, spicy chili, this recipe is for you. Now if you need me, I’ll be sitting here staring at my kitchen cabinets.

Toast 12 Ways

I’ve been on a toast kick over the past 3 months. It’s probably because I love toast. It has never ever failed me, and to this I am grateful. Today I partnered with Dave’s Killer Bread who makes the best sandwich bread to show you some of my favorite ways to eat toast. Let’s start this Toast Party, shall we?

Around the House: Kitchen {BEFORE}

Our family has lived in our house (the house I grew up in!) for the past 4 years. The kitchen I’ve been cooking in is the SAME kitchen I learned to cook in when I was a kid. That really trips me out sometimes. This week our kitchen is being painted, so we moved EVERYTHING out into our dining room. I’m currently living this life…and it’s kinda weird because I got a flashback today of when I was little and my parents had our floors refinished and our whole house was turned upside down.

My Everyday Life: Week 2

Here’s what My Everyday Life Week 2 looked like:

And then 5 minutes later the rain washed it away.

Had our friends Lenny & Denise over for dinner last night. It was awesome.

This tree tripped me out.

Obsessed with the hat I bought at H & M 5 years ago. I found it when I was cleaning out my closet. It’s the perfect thing to wear when I have serious bed head. No one knows what’s hiding under there.
