Happy Fall

Okay so I lied. I said I would get better at keeping up with the blog and I have not. I probably lost some readers but I hope not too many!! This whole blog thing is a lot harder than I thought! My goal now is to blog at least 2 - 3 times a week. I follow many cooking blogs and it is rare when a new recipe is posted every day. (Although those are my favorite!)

I won't go into much detail but wanted to share some of the things I have tried lately....
Most recently, our new favorite meal is spinach salad with warm bacon dressing. The only recipe I have is for the dressing, courtesy of Pioneer Woman. I know I have said this before but she walks on water when it comes to cooking. I just use bagged baby spinach and throw on some bacon, red onion, and a hard boiled egg. Pioneer woman cooks her onions and mushrooms but that takes too much effort sometimes.

Remember way back in the day when I said I couldn't wait to try some fall soups? Well I did. We had Southwestern Chicken Soup and Corn Chowder both courtesy of Real Simple. They were both VERY easy and so tasty! We definitely will eat both again :) Sorry about this picture, I was halfway in and realized I had forgotten to take a picture!A few weeks ago I went to Boston for work and ate seafood the ENTIRE time. Obviously living where we live, it is rare to get some great seafood so I wanted to take full advantage of my time on the east coast. I went to this small seafood restaurant my first night there right on the water and it was delicious! I had mussels and lobster bisque. Who would have thought this pop tart, oreo-eaten girl, would venture out to eat mussels?!Lastly, within our friends, we started this thing called Pizza Team. We got the idea from one of Bryan's friends who lives in St. Louis but I thought it would be fun to start it in Indy! Basically, the first Monday of every month we go to a new pizza place. There seem to be tons in Indy so we may be doing this for a while! It is really fun and who doesn't like pizza?? Also, it definitely gets you through a long Monday. This month we went to Bazbeaux Pizza. Some of us have already been there but not everyone. It was excellent as usual. Next month, we will be trying Pizzology in Carmel. I look forward to blogging about this little gig as well!

If you haven't stopped reading yet - thank you. I appreciate it. I like to think that someone else is reading my blog other than when I force Bryan to read it, or my mom, or when I am not wanting to do whatever it is I am doing at work. Here's to many more "frequent" blog posts.
