Hey, Susie...I found another cute yellow door at Sissy's Southern Kitchen & Bar on Henderson. After watching a marathon yesterday of Man vs. Food, I should not be thinking about food. But really, I want to visit Lisa Garza's new place more for the decor!

What's For Dinner

Pinterest is chalk-full of ideas for dinner and I can't be more thankful for this particular go-to category. I've tried some, which weren't a success, such as the one where you use croutons instead of breading for Chicken Parmesan. The croutons soak up all the sauce and leaves it very dry and honestly, we make a great one already not using breading at all. But I have found some recipes that I just love that are now in rotation. Here are two...

First, Chicken Parmesan Meatloaf. My husband must have had a bad childhood experience with meatloaf because he does not like it at all. So when I found this healthier, Italian version, I knew I had found gold. You can use either ground chicken or turkey. He's now converted.

Second, is Greek Chicken, which, if my husband would let me, I could easily make once a week. It's that good and that easy. I pair it with Alexia oven fries, which soaks up all the lemony goodness and because I'm a lazy weekday chef.

Have you found any on there that are now your favs?

What did we do before Pinterest?!

Gingham + Stripes

These don't come in toddler sizes but how I wish they did

(esp the black one - or is that navy?)...

But now these are just the right size...

Sprinkles Cupcake ATM

A 24 hour cupcake ATM? Brilliant. Thank goodness this is only in LA.

Stella actually asked me to take this picture.

Have a good week! xo

Coat Pocket

{via}

My posts have been pretty random in nature lately - and sporadic. I know. But my mind is full and somewhere else (I still love you! We haven't broken up!). However, I did want to stop in to share this little tid-bit I saw on Tumblr. It reminded me of a friend's Facebook status that made me smile: "I just found a cocktail sword in my coat pocket".
