Don't mind if I do!

Yes, I will run for food..... so I can eat whatever I want! I can sit down at the restaurant du jour and order whatever baked, fried, slathered in grease and butter I want. And I love that! The best part about all of it is it is 100% guilt free. As long as I work out like a crazy person :) The more I work out, the more I can eat. I love my life!

Last night I went to a celebratory dinner at a long awaited Frontera Grill. Rick Bayless did not disappoint! I set aside my opinion of him as a person because this place has been on my list for years. Let me tell you... Rick sure knows what he is doing! I appreciate how everything in his kitchen is all sustainable, and did you know he grows produce on the roof? Love it!

Our meals were delicious. I could go on and on about the tamale I had on the side of my steak. Slightly sweet with a very spicy after note. I could have a whole plate of them right now. In my belly. Yum.

Enchiladas de Mole Poblano. Muy delicioso!  

After dinner we chose to forgo the dessert menu and head next door to XOCO for churros and Mexican hot chocolate (still in the Frontera family). Oh Rick Bayless, I want to hate you... But your food is just too darn good.

Food for thought: As we were waiting for the valet, this little ditty was on the wall. I am a sucker for inspiring quotes.... and I heart Frida Kahlo.

I'm running tonight, are you?

Toodles!
