Salted Dark Chocolate Caramel Corn

October 1, 2013 2 Comments

I’ve mentioned this before, but I am not a fan of popcorn. Put all the butter and salt on it you want – it still tastes/feels like you’re eating styrofoam. Buttery, salty styrofoam. Pour some caramel sauce on it, though, and you’ve got a whole other story. I don’t know what happens, but sugary syrup…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 »

Single-Serving GF Chocolate Chip Mug Cookie

May 17, 2013 40 Comments

For the last two weeks, I’ve been going gluten-free. Not for health reasons — thinking back on the amount of wheat-packed bread and baked goods I’ve happily consumed over the years, I’m pretty positive I’m not allergic to gluten. No, this is all about vanity. It all started when I was griping to my friend…read more »

Restaurant-Style Queso

May 4, 2013 6 Comments

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 »

GF Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies

April 17, 2013 10 Comments

In the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings this week, it’s been a little hard to understand how some people can be so awful. For four years, Marathon Day was something my friends and I all looked forward to every spring – a welcome reprieve from classes, a reason to be out and about in…read more »

Spinach and Artichoke Dip Stuffed Mushrooms

April 13, 2013 12 Comments

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 »

S’mores Blossoms

February 27, 2013 13 Comments

Wow, it has been forever and a half since my last post, huh? Sorry guys. It’s been a little busy around here. No time to cook during the week, and no light to take pictures after work even if I did have the energy/motivation to cook. I would try to be a better person/blogger/fiance and…read more »

Chocolate Dream Cupcake Bites with Whipped Chocolate Frosting

January 13, 2013 5 Comments

I woke up this morning with the most intense craving for chocolate. Visions of chocolate cupcakes with mile-high buttercream frosting, gooey chocolate chip cookies, chocolate-swirl ice cream, and moist, fudge-y brownies danced through my mind. But, since none of those things are allowed on my wedding diet, there was nothing immediately available in my pantry or fridge…read more »
