Me in my faves

So, Kelley @ My Island Wedding is having a sort of virtual get-to-know you -- how delightful :)! Here's me, if I were to define myself by a handful of my favorites:

• My fave breakfast food: Shipley's jalapeno, sausage, and cheese kolache!

• My fave recipe, when I want to eat healthy + delicious: Vietnamese Vermicelli, courtesy of Mai Pham at Fine Cooking -- usually, I just rip open a bag of salad + cook the noodles for ~3-5 mins, and it's the caramel-marinated pork (except I use chicken :D) that's the most tricky!
  
• My fave dessert: molten chocolate cake.
