Loco Moco

Two of my college friends got married in Hawaii recently. (I know. So jealous.) Sadly, I wasn’t invited to the wedding — ahem, Sonia — but I’ve been facebook stalking the photo albums of the people who went, so it kind of feels like I was there too. Note to self: must go to Hawaii soon….read more »

Cheesy Creamy Shrimp Spaghetti

August 5, 2011 2 Comments

So, it’s been a while since my last post, huh? Yeah. Things have been a little hectic around here. So, unsurprisingly, Dan and I have been doing a whole lot of Chinese delivery-ing, and very little cooking. I made fried chicken last weekend for my friend Alex’s birthday in NY, but…all the pictures are on…read more »

Zucchini Cakes

July 24, 2011 99 Comments

I think it’s safe to say that the zucchinis have won. Dan and I are officially sick of the stuff — we’ve eaten zucchini in some form or another every single day this week. Roasted, mainly, but also sauteed, mixed in with scrambled eggs, and cut into strips for fries. These zucchini cakes were a…read more »

Zucchini Bread

July 18, 2011 5 Comments

This past weekend a bunch of us piled into Dan’s tiny Mazda and headed into the boonies of Virginia for some good old fashioned fruit picking. The original plan was to pick peaches and blackberries, but once we got to the farm, we realized they had a whole lot more to offer than just those…read more »

Butterbeer Cupcakes

OK, raise your hand if you’re excited about Harry Potter 7.2 coming out this week. I am super excited! Like millions of other people out there, I am a die hard HP fan. I basically grew up with the characters! I can still remember reading the first book in 6th grade and thinking “man…this is…read more »

Crab Rangoons

July 12, 2011 6 Comments

So last week I made crab rangoons for the first time. We were in Boston for 4th of July weekend, and one of our friends invited us over to make sushi. This, of course, meant crab rangoons were on the menu too. And crab cakes. And peach margaritas. I dunno, it made sense at the…read more »

Japanese-Style Strawberry Shortcake

July 10, 2011 13 Comments

Is it just me, or do desserts in Japanese anime/manga always look amazing? Whether it’s cake, pie or ice cream, everything is always so sparkly and elaborate, surprisingly realistic-looking, and just positively oozing with goodness. My stomach pretty much growls constantly when I’m reading food/dessert-themed manga. I’m a nerd, I know. Anyway. I’d always assumed…read more »

Peanut Butter Cup Bars

July 9, 2011 3 Comments

A lot of people love chocolate and peanut butter, but my friend Emily really loves it. Like, “possibly bordering on an unhealthy addiction” kind of love. She actually refers to Reese’s peanut butter cups as “crack,” and goes out of her way to avoid the stuff because if there’s any of it around the house, she’ll keep eating…read more »

Twisted Strawberry Lemonade

July 2, 2011 6 Comments

Last week, David Leibovitz’s blog had a delicious-looking guest post on strawberry vodka. Soon after that, TasteSpotting and FoodGawker exploded with entries showcasing different fruit-infused vodkas. Since everyone else was doing it… Yeah, I hopped on the infused vodka train. Ripe strawberries smell so good! And after three days in a tightly sealed jar with…read more »

Dulce de Leche-Nutella Swirl Loaf Cake

June 26, 2011 6 Comments

There are still a few things Dan and I need to do to fully recover from our Great Beach Robbery — getting new driver’s licenses, for example — but everything is closed on Sundays, so we’ve been having a pretty lazy day so far. We slept in until the hungry meows of our kitties could…read more »
