i’m trying… I swear. I’m sort of obsessed. I have a love affair with food. I am one of those people who “lives to eat” not who “eats to live”. Lately I have been trying to eat better and am currently testing out the My Fit Foods 21 Day Challenge. I am so proud at the end of the day when I get to put a glittery smiley face on my calendar for eating good. (Stay tuned.) BUT currently I’m looking at Matt Bites blog. I love his photography. This is so not helping.
Happy Wednesday. Enjoy more gorgeous goodness from Matt below.
PS - little side note, my sweet foodie friend Uncle Beefy is also an AMAZING food stylist - not professionally, just for fun - which is shocking because of his talent. I can’t not do a post about food styling without mentioning him. I threw in a couple from the Beefster as well.

but just hold your little tastebuds… If you have time I highly recommend you take a moment to whip this together. It’s amazing, pretty, um healthy??! and PS - cool. I’ve always thought of myself as a person who did not do cold soup (um, gross) but Kim Donlon has changed me forever. Between this gazpacho and her cantaloupe soup last summer (for her birthday bash)... I’m game to try most any cold soup these days. I think my philosophy is, if they made it cold, it has to be extra delicious. So far, so good!
Below is the recipe thanks to the help of my wonderful and gifted culinary friend Kim Donlon and today is her birthday.
Happy Birthday Kim!

and so little time… buckle up buttercup because spring is here and that means folks are buzzing about soaking up the fantastic weather! I’m beyond excited to share with you the perfect brunch that I indulged in courtesy of Two Hot Potatoes a couple of Sundays ago. TDF, I’m just sayin’. And, so I hear, super easy to make but let me tell you this, it was super easy to devour!! Put this one in your cookbooks friends and check out their foodie blog. These two lovely ladies have a big love for mouthwatering cuisine and life.
I know we all can’t wait to get to Sunday morning and whip up this yummy breakfast feast, but in the meantime you should definitely be aware of and check out all of this, all on Saturday: the White Rock Farmers Market; The Dallas Flea; Dash Down Greenville Avenue St. Patrick’s Day run and parad; my crazy funny friend, comedian and singer/songwriter, Dave Little at Opening Bell and Tim is the DJ (aka Tim Flannery, talented creative director at NM and part time fab DJ) at Lee Harvey’s! Like I said busy busy busy…all good stuff so choose wisely or if you’re like me, attempt it all.
Happy sunny-days! Be sure to read below to get the details, photos and recipes from this savory spread.

but don’t worry little lovebirds… The tiny little cup of warm chicken broth goodness with miniature cheddar biscuit will warm you right up this Valentine’s Day. If you haven’t heard already The Zodiac on the 6th floor downtown Neiman Marcus is having a special brunch buffet similar the one they typically only exclusively run through the holidays. (you may remember that Bret and I kicked off our New Year’s Eve extravaganza there and loved every minute of it) If you don’t have plans already, I highly recommend it and promise you won’t be disappointed. It’s amazing food and a charmingly chic and historic atmosphere. Bret and I make a point when in New York to have a drink at the 7th floor Bergdorf Goodman cafe designed by Kelly Wearstler and we both think this is our Dallas version of that NYC favorite.

i love my uncle… Beefy that is. I was looking for something to write about today, watching Julie and Julia and thinking about food of some sort. Uncle Beefy is one of my favorite bloggers (and a super-talented sweet tooth foodie) so I checked in on him and found these! YUM. Sweetie pies from Williams-Sonoma fashioned after old fashioned whoopie pies. Details and more goodies for your sweetthang below.
