Fresh Strawberry Pie

May 25, 2017 10 Comments

One of my favorite childhood memories is of my parents taking me strawberry picking in Texas. No idea where…Corpus Christi? Houston? Unclear. All I know is that it was one of those places where the strawberry plants were grown stacked on top of each other, so the rows of plants (each plant loaded with ripe berries) towered…read more »

Lemony Blueberry Swirl Loaf Cake

**This post has been sponsored by Honest Cooking and Bonne Maman. As always, all opinions are my own. This Mother’s Day, as it slowly dawns on me (with excitement, but also a healthy dose of anxiety) that I’m really going to be someone’s mom soon, I’m reminded that I have two particularly wonderful women in my life…read more »

Wine Slushie Pops

June 25, 2016 2 Comments

Summer is officially here, and it’s starting to get hot here in Virginia. Usually that means the start of cocktail season at our house, but now that I’m 30 my body suddenly won’t tolerate the endless stream of sugary, boozy beverages that I want to put into it. Acid reflux and hangovers – they’re no joke, you guys. So,…read more »

Rosemary Greyhound Cocktail

March 21, 2016 4 Comments

Dan says I’m a sucker because I can never say no to the nice young people/children that show up at our door with something to sell. It’s true – Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, high school kids raising money for one thing or another…they can all usually get a few bucks from me. But in my defense, it’s…read more »

Since the Patriots aren’t in the Super Bowl this year, tomorrow’s game is officially all about the food and drink for me. Which is perfect, because I’ve partnered with Smirnoff Ice to come up with a fun, tasty “FANtail” for the big day. Smirnoff Ice and I have a long and happy history. In college, it was…read more »

Blueberry Brie Pull Apart Bread

November 11, 2015 7 Comments

Are you guys suckers for commercials the way that I am? Dan always says that when he sees something ridiculous being advertised on TV, his first thought is “I bet Tina would like that.” Sadly, he’s not wrong…my mind is really susceptible to suggestion (and gimmicks…and jingles), you guys. As a food blogger, my favorite commercials are,…read more »

Blueberry Breakfast Cake with Lemon Yogurt Glaze

September 15, 2015 2 Comments

This was originally supposed to be a “Dan in the Kitchen” post, but the man in question decided he would rather watch me bake than actually do any baking himself. Still, he spent enough time hovering over my shoulder during the baking process – “supervising” and “quality checking”, he said – that it pretty much amounted to…read more »

Acai Bowls

August 17, 2015 4 Comments

When we were in the North Shore part of Oahu, we saw acai bowls being sold everywhere. It seemed like every beach we went to and every road we drove on had a food truck or three parked nearby advertising “fresh fruit” and “Acai Bowls”. (Also, shrimp – but that’s another recipe/post for another day.) And every single one of…read more »

Homemade Strawberry Jam

June 29, 2015 10 Comments

Hi guys! So uh…it’s been a long time since my last post, huh? A month and a half, to be precise. Sorry about that! At first I was planning to just take a break from posting for one weekend, but then things got really busy at work and I didn’t have any energy/desire to cook…read more »
