Potato Leek Soup

November 21, 2014 2 Comments

Brrr, it’s COLD out there, guys (CA friends, “cold weather” is a natural phenomenon that occurs for about 6 months of the year in most other parts of the country…also, I hate you). How did this happen? One second it’s sunny and I’m walking around wearing skirts and a light trench, the next second it’s dark/gloomy and…read more »

Snacktastic Sundays: Thanksgiving Sliders

November 17, 2014 8 Comments

This week’s Snackstastic Sunday post is inspired by one of my favorite sandwiches from the soup/sandwich shop near my office, and is something I’ve been meaning to make since last year. Turkey + brie + cranberry sauce + raw onions on pumpernickel = Thanksgiving mouthgasm. Except, instead of pumpernickel, I decided to go with buttermilk…read more »

Snacktastic Sundays: Chinese Potstickers

November 9, 2014 16 Comments

Another short post today, guys! Dan absolutely cannot control himself around pork dumplings, and there wasn’t a Patriots game today to distract him from my kitchen/blogging activities, so I didn’t have a whole lot of time to snap pictures before he started getting impatient for his dumpling dinner. There’s nothing like a hungry, aggressively hovering husband to…read more »

Pumpkin Muffins with Brown Butter Glaze

November 5, 2014 8 Comments

Happy Wednesday, everyone! Sorry about the lack of Snacktastic Sunday post last week, but I was too worn out from our cabin adventures to cook anything for the Patriots game. We ordered Chinese takeout instead, and it was delicious. You know what else is delicious? These muffins! So far this fall I’ve been reveling in my love for…read more »

Graveyard Pie

October 31, 2014 4 Comments

Happy Halloween, everyone! What are y’all doing for the spookiest holiday of the year? Trick-or-treating with the kids? Egging the neighbors’ houses? Going to fabulous costume parties? All of the above? Sounds like fun! Our plans this weekend not so Halloween-y. Instead of throwing on costumes and heading out to the bars, waiting around at home…read more »

DIY Hot Sauce (Habanero & Sriracha)

October 28, 2014 36 Comments

Peppers and I have a very love-hate relationship. Mostly hate. To begin with, I’m a wuss when it comes to spicy foods. This is a huge disappointment to my dad, because our family is from China’s Hunan Province, which is known for it’s spicy cuisine. It absolutely kills him that any time he cooks for me,…read more »

Snacktastic Sundays: Three Cheese Crab Dip

October 26, 2014 9 Comments

Short post today, folks. Mostly because it’s ridiculously hard to make white dip/white bread look appetizing in photos, and I had a rough time getting the dip to look like something other than a pile of cheesy vomit. Sigh. Food photography – it makes me crazy sometimes, y’all. But guys, if you can get past the way it looks, this…read more »

Apple Cider Cocktail…and a GIVEAWAY! {GIVEAWAY CLOSED}

October 24, 2014 37 Comments

A few weeks ago, I was contacted by a representative from Arctic Chill Products, asking if I would be interested in reviewing one of their products. They had seen my Tinto de Verano post, and thought I’d be a good fit for their Arctic Chill Ice Ball Maker (see, I knew all those Thirsty Thursday posts were a good…read more »

Snacktastic Sundays: Crock Pot Carnitas Tacos

October 20, 2014 16 Comments

So…this Snacktastic Sunday post is a little late. Sorry, y’all. But hey, I’ve still got a tasty recipe for you, so…let’s just call it even, OK? OK! Alright, moving on then. Today’s recipe is another Crock Pot recipe, and it’s stupendously easy. I threw everything together around 10:30pm Friday night, set the slow cooker to “low”,…read more »

Cinnamon Apple Pancakes with Apple Cider Syrup

October 16, 2014 18 Comments

I may have failed to produce any edible football watching snacks last weekend, but I did manage to put together a pretty great breakfast for us Sunday morning. Crispy oven-fried bacon, scrambled eggs with goat cheese, a big tasty pile of these fluffy cinnamon apple pancakes, and the most amazing apple cider syrup to drown said pancakes in. So much…read more »
