Blackberry Champagne Margarita

April 27, 2012 21 Comments

So it’s been kind of a crazy week. I think I spent maybe 16 hours in my office — the rest of the time I was either running around attending different sessions at a conference or learning how to take control of my career as an empowered female lawyer. It was all very cool, and…read more »

Nutella S’mores Bars

April 23, 2012 14 Comments

So, it’s my birthday tomorrow. Usually I’m one of those really annoying 20-somethings that complains about birthdays being nothing more than reminders of my slow and interminable march toward the grave, but I’m feeling pretty zen this year. Life is good, no complaints here. So, instead of being filled with gloomy thoughts of mortality, I’ve been thinking about what dessert…read more »

Strawberry, Banana & Nutella Bread Pudding

April 15, 2012 15 Comments

You guys know how much I love Nutella, right? Some people have drinking problems, some people do drugs…I eat Nutella from the jar with a spoon. It’s uncontrollable. Nutella is just soooo good — thick, creamy, nutty, and chocolate-y…It’s like crack for choco-holics. For obvious reasons (i.e., I don’t want to be 500lbs and constantly covered in…read more »

Steak and Spinach Quesadilla

April 13, 2012 2 Comments

So I think it’s safe to say that we’re just a little sick of beef around here. We’ve eaten so many cheese steak sandwiches lately that I feel like I’m going to start moo-ing uncontrollably any second now. And poor Dan, who is forced to eat everything I cook while I sit and stare at him with big…read more »

Pizza Steak Sub

April 11, 2012 2 Comments

I don’t know what’s going on, but I’ve been having the most terrible allergies and allergy-induced asthma lately. I mean, I sneeze and wheeze all season every season, but things have been a lot worse this week. On Monday I was a zombie at work because the night before my allergies kept me awake (and struggling to take a…read more »

Philly Cheese Steak, Part II

April 9, 2012 14 Comments

When I posted my first Philly Cheese Steak recipe on reddit.com, I knew I’d get a hailstorm of protests from cheese steak purists and Philly natives. Where’s the cheese? The meat isn’t chopped right! Why did you put peppers in there?? You’re doing it all wrong!!! Calm down, guys. I know. It’s cool. I’ll make…read more »

Carrot Cake Whoopie Pies

Happy Easter, everyone! This is going to be a super short post because I’m supposed to hide Easter eggs for my friend Emily in a little bit and I’m running kind of late. Sundays are not conducive for getting things done. So, why am I playing the Easter Bunny for Emily? Because she has awesome…read more »

Philly Cheese Steak

April 4, 2012 10 Comments

Well guys, there is still a whole bunch of prime rib in my fridge. Like…a really scary amount. Two people cannot reasonably be expected to eat that much meat. But they can try! So, in a valiant effort to put a solid dent into our leftover roast, I chopped up a few slices and sauteed the pieces…read more »

Dan in the Kitchen — Chocolate Chip Cocoa Brownies

April 3, 2012 36 Comments

OK, so two things about this post should blow your mind: (1) this is the only brownie recipe on my blog so far (how is this possible when I love chocolate as much as I do?!) and (2) Dan is back in the kitchen…baking…from scratch. Actually, if you know Dan at all, that second thing…read more »

Roasted Prime Rib Sandwich

April 1, 2012 Leave a Comment

Today marks Day 1 of my attempt to eat all the leftovers from a 7lb prime rib roast before it goes bad, and/or we get sick of beef. I don’t know how long our enthusiasm for this endeavor is going to last. 7lbs is a lot of meat. But, while my love for juicy prime rib remains un-dampened…read more »
