Lemony Blueberry Swirl Loaf Cake

May 10, 2017 2 Comments

**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 »

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 »

{Gluten Free} Churro Waffles with Chocolate, Strawberry & Caramel Dipping Sauces

June 29, 2016 1 Comment

For my 30th birthday two months ago, my mother-in-law gave me my first ever waffle iron. It’s a gorgeous black/chrome, double-decker machine that lets me make two belgium waffles at a time. Twice the deliciousness in half the time! I’m afraid she’s created a bit of a monster, because having this thing in our kitchen makes us want to…read more »

Grilled Chicken Thighs with Italian Salsa Verde

June 27, 2016 Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago I flew out to Portland for a long weekend with some girl friends, and we spent 72 hours eating our way around the city. Did we plan our whole trip around food? Definitely yes. And. It. Was. AMAZING. The food scene in Portland is crazy good, you guys. A sampling of…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 »

Blazin’ Bulleit

February 6, 2016 Leave a Comment

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 »

Shrimp Po’ Boy Loaded Fries

February 5, 2016 2 Comments

Ah, the humble potato. Beloved of people…everywhere, really. Delicious, nutritious, versatile – truly, there has never been a more perfect food. Fry ’em, bake ’em, boil and/or mash them – short of burning them to a crisp, there is literally (in my opinion) no way for you to make a potato un-appealing. And did you know that they’re good…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 »
