It's Thanksgiving and this is what I'm most excited for...
Brussels sprouts with bacon and balsamic glaze: probably my favorite Yardley Thanksgiving staple. If you think you hate brussels sprouts, try them cooked in bacon fat with shallot, hazel nuts, and a sweet balsamic glaze. Special thanks to Pizzeria 712 for this little idea recipe idea.
Spicy Sausage Dressing with fresh herbs: THE greatest Thanksgiving dish. Turkey shmurkey. Give me a huge plate of mashed potatoes, brussels sprouts, rolls, and dressing and I'm good to go!
What are you most excited for on Turkey Day?

Brunch!
Brunch is exciting. It's a mix between breakfast and lunch, but I prefer it to be a little more heavy-handed on the breakfast side.
Communal in Provo has an incredible bunch from what I hear. We are hoping to check it out on a Saturday very soon.
So should you!

It is 8:08am and I am seriously craving 5 Guys. Some days you're just destined to fail at eating healthy.

Mashed Potato Ideas, Anyone?
This weekend our good friends Spencer and Mandy Perkins are having a little Pre-Thanksgiving get-together and we have volunteered to bring mashed potatoes. I'm actually pretty excited about this because mashed potatoes are pretty easy to do and I have a great recipe from way back:
Yukon Golds
Heavy Cream
Lots of Butter
Seasoned well
Little chive on top
But I was wondering, what is your favorite mashed potato recipe?
Leave me some good mashed potato ideas in the comments below...
(don't be too cool to comment, man.)

Today's Craving: Apple Pie Caramel Apple...
A granny smith apple, covered in caramel, white chocolate, brown sugar, and cinnamon is what I'm craving today...and everyday actually.
762 calories and I can eat one in 2 minutes. Oh, why can't I crave carrot sticks?

My favorite hot dog. Period.
I came across the J Dawgs Blog today. They've posted a cool video about "J" himself and how this amazing hot dog shack started...

Today's Lunch: Cafe Rio
In Utah we have a little restaurant called Cafe Rio. If you were to call it authentic Mexican you'd probably get slapped in the face. But as inauthentic as it is, it's pretty great. They have tacos, salads, burritos, and quesadillas. It's a very simple menu, but it's done very well.
Here's why Cafe Rio is so good:
1. Homemade tortillas. Sure they're 500 calories or something, but you cannot beat them. They are perfect. (I love the sweet little old ladies that make them fresh everyday. Bless their hearts. I want to know all of their secrets about tortilla-making. Seriously.)
2. Sweet Pork. As far as I'm concerned I don't even know why they serve chicken or steak.
Oh how I wish I would have invented Cafe Rio. I would put pico and spicy ranch on everything.
