Mini Grilled Hasselback Potatoes

March 30, 2017 6 Comments

You guys. It’s been over three months since my last post, and big things have happened since then! First, and most importantly, Dan and I found out that I’m pregnant! 17 weeks and counting. Baby Rodgers (no idea what the sex is just yet…we find out in three weeks!) arrives on September 7th, and we’re all very excited…especially the soon-to-be grandparents. So…read more »

Tomato & Pesto Bruschetta Bites

December 9, 2016 Leave a Comment

You guys – it’s December already. It’s true. Temperatures have dropped, there are twinkle lights on all the trees outside, everyone has a wreath on their door, peppermint-flavored things have started showing up on menus, and my Instagram feed has exploded with pictures of Christmas trees/gingerbread everything/sparkly ornaments/babies crying in Santa’s lap. Normally, all these…read more »

Grilled Nectarine, Burrata & Prosciutto Crostini

July 15, 2016 Leave a Comment

Guys, the heat and humidity in Virginia this past week has been INSANE. When I checked my weather app at 6am yesterday, the humidity indicator was already at 96%. I’m not a metereologist or anything, but I’m pretty sure that means we’re basically moving through water at that point. Or at least that’s how it feels. On…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 »

Melomakarona Cookies

March 1, 2016 2 Comments

The Mediterranean seafood restaurant next to my office has been doing an insanely brisk lunch and dinner business everyday since they moved in a few years ago. Considering three or four other restaurants tried and failed to make it at that location previously (all were there 1 year or less, I heard), that’s pretty impressive. The food there…read more »

How to Make an Epic Valentine’s Day Cheese Board + Dark Chocolate-Chili Ganache

February 9, 2016 6 Comments

In the last few years, I’ve really became a fan of cheese boards for my dinner parties. They’re the perfect appetizer and mood setter – a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach, there’s something for everyone, each bite is totally customizable by the eater, and nothing is so filling that your guests’ appetites will be spoiled….read more »

Cheesy Fried Spinach & Artichoke Dip Bites

I know I said I was going to take a small break from blogging, but today is too exciting not to post! My beautiful, uber-talented, blogging BFF Sarah from Snixy Kitchen is pregnant, and Cheese Baby Girl is due in just a few short weeks…so we’re throwing her a surprise virtual baby shower.

BLT Deviled Eggs

September 21, 2015 2 Comments

This weekend I learned that I’ve been making hard-boiled eggs wrong my whole life. Did you know that you’re not supposed to just boil the crap out of eggs for 15 straight minutes? News to me! Apparently, the proper way to do it is to place your raw eggs in a pot with room temperature water,…read more »

Easy Veggie Dip

July 7, 2015 Leave a Comment

Happy Tuesday, everyone! Did y’all have a good holiday weekend? Dan and I did! To get our weekend started off with a bang, we let ourselves get talked into a midnight 5K in the city with our friends Liz and Scott (Liz…you definitely owe me a trip to the suburbs for this). This led to much…read more »

Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake Mug Cakes

February 9, 2015 12 Comments

Today’s post was originally supposed to be a full-on cake, but by the time we got home from eating a ginormous lunch with my parents at one of our favorite Chinese restaurants, I was in way too deep of a food coma to do any sort of heavy duty baking. Too many servings of rice, salt & pepper pork, fried fish,…read more »
