Chicken Club Egg Rolls with Avocado Ranch Dip

September 12, 2012 17 Comments

Much to Dan’s despair, I have a deep, deep love for chain restaurants. Applebee’s, Chili’s, TGI Fridays, Cheesecake Factory, CPK — I’m a fan. Of all of them. I mean…cheap, greasy  bar food and fruity blended cocktails…what’s not to love, right? Sadly, Dan does not share my sophisticated tastes. It takes serious wheedling and cajoling before…read more »

Prosciutto-Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers

September 7, 2012 10 Comments

Another day, another football viewing snack recipe. And guys? These are the bomb. Sorry to get all ’90s on you, but it’s true. These poppers are amazingly tasty, and super addictive. These pictures don’t really capture all of the deliciousness — I got my eyes dilated an hour before I started cooking, and in case…read more »

Coca Cola Drumsticks

September 6, 2012 1 Comment

Are you guys excited for football season? Dan is! And if my Facebook newsfeed is any indication, so is everyone else on the planet. Me? Not so much. But I am excited for all the snack foods that football watching entails. Like these Asian-inspired Coca Cola drumsticks, for example. They’re juicy, meaty, savory-sweet, and fall-off-the-bone tender….read more »

Loaded Mashed Potato Cakes

January 28, 2012 62 Comments

Guys, I slept until noon today. It was amazing. To be honest, I probably could have slept for at least another hour or two, but I felt kind of guilty. It’s not like I had errands I needed get done or anything, but Dan had been awake since 9am, and even the cats, who are…read more »

Festive Cheese Rounds

December 11, 2011 19 Comments

The holidays are all about spending time with friends and family, and that means that means one thing — tons of dinner parties with guests galore. And, of course, feasting. My parents always throw two parties this time of year; one on Christmas Eve, another on Christmas itself. Each day, they get up at 7am…read more »

Candied Pecans

November 22, 2011 11 Comments

You know what’s great about the week leading up to Thanksgiving? Nobody works. Most people take the whole week off to spend time with family, and the people who do stick around for work either take it easy or head home early.  In my case, I’m home all the time anyway, but this week I…read more »

Garlic Parmesan Pull-Apart Bread

November 12, 2011 5 Comments

You know what the hardest part of food blogging is? Timing your cooking so that by the time you’re ready to pull out your camera, there’s still enough natural light left to shoot decent photos. If you work during the day, that usually means that by the time you get home and start cooking, you’re…read more »

Smoked Salmon and Mozzarella Crostini

October 15, 2011 8 Comments

Last month, Dan and I were up in Massachusetts for his cousin Pete’s wedding. It was awesome; possibly one of the best weddings we’ve ever been to. The weather was amazing, the outdoor venue was gorgeous, the ceremony was short and sweet, the dance floor was jumpin’, and there was an open bar + servers…read more »

Crispy Bacon and Onion Wonton Flowers

October 13, 2011 6 Comments

OK, if you want to get really technical, these “flowers” are pretty much just bastardized crab rangoons without crab meat. I didn’t think that was an appropriate or appetizing title, though, so I fancied up the name a little. But, just as a rose by any other name smells as sweet, a rangoon by any…read more »

Pepperoni Pizza Puffs

September 13, 2011 26 Comments

First Patriots game of the season was last night, and Dan was giddy with excitement. Me? Not so much. As dreamy as Tom Brady is, my favorite part of watching football is the eating. Chips and dips…wings…pizza. Mmm, junk food! I saw this recipe for pizza puffs on FoodGawker and knew right away that I was going…read more »
