Birthday Food

I am totally obsessed with food in case you don't already know :P For my birthday this year, I was lucky enough to eat at 2 Rick Bayless restaurants - Xoco and Topolobampo! Of course I forgot to take pictures of my 2 favorite boys and the wonderful friends who came out to help celebrate my 30th birthday - that's what New Year's resolutions are for!


Please enjoy my breakfast at Xoco and lunch at Topolobampo vicariously through the pictures.
