thanksgiving leftovers

Last weekend, I made my television debut.

My television appearance included: recipes about Thanksgiving leftovers and cheese (2 of my favorite things!), a Big 10 high five with anchor Bakari Savage (Go Badgers!), an awkward quote about asparagus and my family, and a shout out to my dad’s grilled cheese technique.

As a side note, my dad is not a cook. He only has a few trusty things in his repertoire: omelettes du fromage (omelets with cheese), grilled cheese, Daddy sandwiches (an oven baked grilled cheese on a hoagie roll with ham and onions), brats (he is from Wisconsin after all), corn, and pancakes. This aside is important because it truly demonstrates that he has really honed in his skills and nailed down an excellent grilled cheese technique because it’s one of his specialities.

What I learned from being on television: cheese is delicious (if you want more on that, watch the video!), there is a Golden Gophers’ fan in Charlotte (for you southerners, a Golden Gopher is from the University of Minnesota), I’m pretty awkward on TV, and 4:30 am is really early.

Regardless of how awkward I was and how early it was, I had a blast!! Everyone was so friendly and nice, and seemed to really enjoy my roasted Brussels sprouts (and if they didn’t, they were at least nice enough to say they were delicious).

Check out the segment, highlighting a Thanksgiving Leftovers Grilled Cheese (recipe below) and quesadilla (really, the ingredients in these are interchangeable, because a quesadilla is just a grilled cheese with some Mexican flair. But skip on the mustard on the quesadilla, that probably wouldn’t be as delicious).

Some personal news: I finished watching Dawson's C Some personal news: I finished watching Dawson's Creek!

It's a journey I started in mid-December and I'm proud to say that I finished the 128th episode last night. That’s 96 hours of late 90's nostalgia which I think is a great life accomplishment (and AJ says it's disgusting but nobody asked you AJ).

It just so happens we spent a week at the beach during my watching peak, so we spent an afternoon wandering around Wilmington to see some filming locations. Perfect timing! For my fellow Dawson's Creek fans, you can save this post for stroll (and a short car and ferry ride) next time you're in Wilmington:

Downtown
The Wilmington Riverwalk
Elijah's Restaurant, 2 Ann Street: Pacey's Icehouse in the finale
Reel Cafe, 100 South Front Street: look across Dock Street and you'll see the top of Joey's wall (there is restaurant patio seating in front of the wall now)
Michael's on the Waterfront, 5 South Water Street: Leery's Fresh Fish
Black Cat Shoppe, 8 Market Street: Capeside CD Shop
Hell's Kitchen, 118 Princess Street: It was originally a temporary set but now it's a real bar (the show sold the bar and it's contents to a local owner)
Thalian Hall, 310 Chestnut Street: The Rialto Theater
N Salo Salon, 212 North Front Street: Screen Play Video

Midtown
Alderman Hall at UNCW, 601 South College Road: Capeside High School
Airlie Gardens, 300 Airlie Road: The Ruins

Wrightsville Beach
Dockside Restaurant, 1308 Airlie Road: exterior shots of The Icehouse

Did you know the Super Bowl is the second largest Did you know the Super Bowl is the second largest food consumption event in the United States? It comes in just behind Thanksgiving dinner!

Even though we aren't having a party this year, we are definitely making all the food for The Weeknd's big concert. 😂 I am not interested in the teams playing, but I am interested in food, commercials and the halftime show!

A new addition to our Super Bowl spread this year is going to be these extra crispy air fryer chicken wings. I got this delicious recipe from @michele_westviamidwest’s blog, and if you're looking for a quick and easy recipe for wings, this is the one!

You know the Insta drill 🚨, the link to the recipe is in my bio, but if you leave a 🏈 I'll dm it to you so you can avoid the clicking gymnastics.
