Guys, why are vacation posts so hard to do? Between going through all the photos on my camera, photo-editing, collage-making, and post-writing, that Paris post seriously took me the better part of two days finish. And this Amsterdam post? I’ve been sitting on it since Sunday night! All my pictures were collaged/edited/uploaded, I just couldn’t…read more »
Bang Bang Chicken
<<Hello from Amsterdam! This post comes to you from the past…or maybe it’s the future? I’m confused. Either way, I wrote this before I left for vacation because I didn’t want you all to forget about me while I was gone. And, later in the week, there will be a guest post for Thirsty Thursday, courtesy…read more »
Fig, Bacon, and Honey-Goat Cheese Crostini
Today’s recipe is inspired by my friend (and super talented food blogger) Sarah, who recently posted a recipe for goat cheese stuffed figs with pancetta. She served them at a dinner party a few weeks ago, and her guests gobbled them up in record time. In fact, the figs barely made it out of the kitchen, ‘cuz our…read more »
Totchos
Here’s what we ate today: bacon & eggs for breakfast, nachos & beer (actually, cider for me) for lunch, and totchos for dinner. So basically…super healthy and balanced meals . It’s been kind of a great day, actually. Don’t judge me. In other news, it’s almost Cinco de Mayo! My first thought was that I should do…read more »
Roasted Potato Bites with Brie & Mushrooms
Things I’m currently obsessed with, in no particular order: white and purple nail polishes, this sweater from Nordstrom (I may or may not own it in 3 colors…shhh, don’t tell Dan), cinnamon almonds, chocolate covered caramel corn, wedge booties, the Black Jewels trilogy, my new iPhone case that looks like a wallet, and Trader Joe’s Triple Cream Brie with…read more »
Chili Crab Deviled Eggs
Have you ever noticed how people have really strong opinions about mayonnaise? It’s such an unassuming condiment, yet it incites so much passion in some people. For example, one of my friends at work would rather go hungry than eat the free sandwiches at our firm-sponsored lunch meetings when they come pre-slathered with mayo. Me?…read more »
Restaurant-Style Queso
If you’re going to drink a whole lot of margaritas, you definitely need a hearty, tasty snack or appetizer to go with them. My personal favorite is chips & dip. Crunchy, salty chips to cut through the tangy sweetness of the margaritas, and thick, creamy cheese sauce (or guacamole) to help those chips slide down real…read more »
Spinach and Artichoke Dip Stuffed Mushrooms
I always used to think I was an adventurous eater, but lately I’ve realized that my dining habits are really boring. I literally eat the same things every day. Yogurt for breakfast, hummus & avocado sandwiches for lunch, fruit and nuts for a mid morning/afternoon snack, and whatever’s leftover in the fridge for dinner. When…read more »
Deep Dish Pepperoni Pizza Cups
So guys…have you been infected with the madness that is college basketball? Dan and I – not so much. Basketball wasn’t really a big thing at our school (or any other sport, really) so neither of us has a horse in the race. As a result, Dan is much more excited about spring training, and…read more »
Bacon Cheese Fries
Guys, am I crazy or is it supposed to be spring already? You know…longer days, more sunshine, budding flowers, chirping birds…warmer weather? Yes? So why the hell is it snowing! Why is there slush on the ground! Where are my frickin’ spring flowers! TELL ME. Obviously, I’m a little upset about the weather. And, obviously the…read more »
