Crockpot Parmesan Chicken….and a Giveaway! [GIVEAWAY CLOSED]

January 10, 2014 12 Comments

Happy 2014, everyone! Did you guys have fun over the holidays and/or New Years? Maybe you’re a little bit like me, and maybe you slightly over-indulged (a lot) over the holidays. Perhaps you are still getting residual bouts of heartburn from all that rich, indigestible food you shoveled happily into your body and all those boozy cocktails…read more »

Unicorn Tears

December 28, 2013 8 Comments

Guys, my glassware/bar ware habit is getting out of hand. Even after donating like 4 boxes of stuff to Good Will, I am quickly running out of space (read: have already run out of space but am in denial) to store all of the new glasses and bottles I keep buying. My most recent purchase?…read more »

OREO Cookie Ball Snowmen

December 8, 2013 4 Comments

A few weeks ago Yummly asked me if I wanted to be part of their OREO holiday campaign. To participate, all I had to do was come up with a fun, festive treat using Oreo’s classic cookie ball recipe. I was immediately on board because (1) I love OREOs, and (2) what’s not to love…read more »

Pepperoni Pizza Pretzel Hand Pies….and a GIVEAWAY! {GIVEAWAY CLOSED}

October 21, 2013 33 Comments

I’ve said this before, but…I suck at homemade bread recipes. Or, more accurately, I suck at recipes that involve yeast. Some people have a black thumb when it comes to plants, I have black hands when it comes to yeast. My dough never rises nearly as much as it ought to, and I always, always…read more »

Chili Crab Deviled Eggs

June 3, 2013 12 Comments

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 »

Easy Chicken Cacciatore

A few weeks ago the good folks at Progresso asked me if they could send me a pack of their new Recipe Starters to try. Ummm, could they send me a whole bunch of free, yummy, pre-made cooking sauces that will give my dinners oomph and save me from slaving over the stove for hours? Obviously yes….read more »

Chocolate Covered Bride and Groom Strawberries…and a Giveaway! [GIVEAWAY CLOSED]

August 9, 2012 22 Comments

A few days ago I got a text from my friend Sarah (and fellow food blogger) at 2am. It was a picture of a ring, and said simply “wanna plan a wedding?” In my half-asleep state, I didn’t fully process the message and just rolled back over in bed. It wasn’t until I woke up the…read more »

Rosemary Lemon Roast Chicken…and a Father’s Day Giveaway!

June 16, 2012 24 Comments

Have you ever noticed how much harder it is to shop for dads than it is to shop for moms? They just don’t want anything! I mean, my mom and I have the same taste in a lot of things, so it’s easy to find her just the right purse for Christmas or pick out the perfect…read more »

Raspberry Cream Cake…and a Giveaway!

February 12, 2012 16 Comments

You know, I had big plans for my Valentine’s Day post. I was going to poach lobster tails for dinner and make Mini Red Velvet Trifles for dessert. Sounds delicious right? Yeah…problem was, I couldn’t find cake flour at the grocery store, and by the time dinner rolled around I was feeling too lazy and…read more »

Crock Pot Chili

November 29, 2011 12 Comments

Hello, all! Hope your Thanksgiving was as fun-, food-, and family-filled as ours. Well, maybe not quite as much “fun” — I certainly hope nobody else was stuck at the airport for 9 hours on Turkey Day. But that’s a story for another day. Today I want to talk to you guys about Crock Pot Chili…read more »
