It’s crazy to think about, but in 2015 I will… Turn 29 Be in my fourth year at my current law firm Celebrate my 2-year wedding anniversary (with Dan, duh) Reach my 10-year dating anniversary (also with Dan) Enter my 5th year of blogging…read more »
Easy Candied Walnut Fudge
Remember when I made all those candied walnuts and told you I put them in a super yummy fudge? And I promised I’d share the recipe with you before the holidays? Well…here it is! You’re welcome. Although…I guess if you’re trying to watch your girlish figure, then I should probably be saying “sorry for tempting you.” ‘Cuz…read more »
{GIVEAWAY CLOSED} Gingerbread Mug Cake Revisited…and a GIVEAWAY!
This time of year, one of the most popular recipes on my blog is my Gingerbread Mug Cake. Which always makes me laugh a little, because it was such a throw-away recipe when I came up with it. At the time, my fridge was basically empty and I was low on basic baking ingredients, but Dan had…read more »
Candied Walnuts
We can all agree that caramelized sugar makes everything taste 100% better, right? Case in point – popcorn. When eaten plain, it’s like chewing on salty Styrofoam. Pour some molten sugar over it, however, and you suddenly have a bowl of crunchy, sweet crack. Bacon? Same deal. Pretty tasty in general, but swoon-inducingly delicious and addictive when…read more »
Last Minute Kitchen & Food Lover’s Holiday Gift Guide
If you guys are anything like me and Dan, you’re probably scrambling to get last minute Christmas shopping done. In fact, as I was typing that sentence, I realized that I forgot to actually order the gifts I’d picked out for two work friends and immediately stopped everything to frantically get that taken care of. Procrastination…it’s a real…read more »
DIY Flavored Sugars
No Snacktastic Sunday post again this week, because I had another one of those days where nothing goes right in the kitchen. Literally nothing.

Fennel, Leek & Onion Stuffing
Other than mashed potatoes (and now gravy), stuffing is the best part of Thanksgiving dinner, isn’t it? I mean, that pre-packaged stuff my parents used to get from Safeway was generally pretty mediocre, but even then I would eat several helpings because I’m a carboholic with no self control. Homemade stuffing though…that’s where it’s at. Bread tossed with various vegetables and/or…read more »
Caramelized Shallot Bacon Gravy
Does anyone really like turkey? I mean really really like it? As in, like it so much that it’s the highlight of Thanksgiving dinner for them? I’m guessing no. No sane person with taste buds actively enjoys turkey. That may seem like a pretty hard stance to take with an inoffensive bird, but I’m sticking to it. Ground turkey,…read more »
Snacktastic Sundays: Thanksgiving Sliders
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 »
